DRAGGED TO DEATH, THE "PALE HOUSE" AND ITS UIDEK. In the middle ages, men racked their brains to Invent barbarous forms of punishment.' Just ns in Nerti's tlmo unhappy Chrlstlnns were martyred ns a publlo spectacle and the gladiators "butchered to make a Roman hollduy" so in these latter times punishment wus Inflicted I iiinuse the public, and tho cruelty of the punishment often added to the pleasure of the populace'. To see a man tied to tho streaming tall of some untrained horse and dragged to death by the wild creature, was a rare spectacle, and was sure to draw a good turn-out and Increase tho popularity of the governing power which provided such cheap and harm less (!) amusements for the people-. Can we imagine any man voluntarily submitting himself to be tied to the horse and dragged and kicked to death? Such a. thing would be In credible. And yet men nre standing still, unresisting, while every day time Is binding them faster and faster to that "pale horse" whose rider is Death. One of the earliest things we are taught as children, Is that the might iest things aro only minute things in aggregation and combination; that GREAT EFFORTS SPUING PUOM SMALLEST CAt'SES. AVe sing It in the song which tells how the eeonn is made up of water drops, untl (lie Eurth eif sand grains. We are told of the century-living oak, springing from an acorn which a bird might destioy, und being budded into ships that the winds and waves buffet In vain. We are taught that It Is "the little foxes that spoil the grapes." Yet all that cach ing leaves us apparently unimpressed with the Incalculable Importance uf attending to the beginning of things, of throttling those "little foxes" which gnaw and nibble and destioy. Who cares anything about a cold? Who allows a cough to Interfere with arrangements for business or pleas ure? A'et that cold or cough is a seed of disease and in its tlnnl lloweilnsr often shows the hectic tints of con sumption, or all people who die daily, one-sixth are victims of consumption. And of thnt great army of victims, It Is probable that hardly one need have perished had the disease been taken lu lime. IJut tho victims stood still and let themselves bo bound day by vlay a little Jlrmer to this cruel disease, and when they invoke to their danger there was no help for them. Yet THERE IS HELP for coughs however old anil obstinate, for bronchitis, weak lungs, bleeding lungs, and similar ailments which if neglected, or Improperly treated lead uji to consumption. "It was twelve years ago that 1 ' derived so much help from Dr. Pieice's medicines," writes Mrs. Olive Stevens, of North Harvey Cook. Co., 111. "I was allllcted with a scrofulous! tumor In the left side of my neck. It was 1 till v as large as a largo sized walnut, und so painful that I could get but little sleep at night. I doctored with sev eral physicians but received no benefit. Tile tumor grew rapidly and became in flamed and my general health became impaired, "I grew very weak. One physician said 1 would be in consumption in a very short time. Our home physician said I would have to have the tumor removed, but afterwards told my hus band that I had heart trouble and lie woulel not dare to give me chloroform or ether, so he told me to be very care ful; gave ine medicine that did me no good. I went to Michigan, was there three months, and while there took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and used Lugol's Solution, as directed In your pumphlet. AA'hlle away I gained sixteen pounds, the tumor bce-ame smaller and less painful, and today there Is not a sign of It. 1 feel con fident that I shall never be troubled with it again. AVe think there is no medicine like Dr. R. V. Pierce's nnd we have recommended It to a great many who have taken It with very fav orable results. "The 'Golden Medical Discovery' cured my neck entirely. There are thousands of men and women alive today and in tho full en joyment of perfe'et health, who owe their very life to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. After trying all available medicines, being GIVEN HP RY DOCTORS, losing all hope of recovering themsel ves, they have begun the use of "Gol den Medical Discovery" and persisted In it until a perfect cure was affected. "I will write you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1ms done for me," says George II. Relcher. Esq., of Dorton, Pike Co., Ky. "Thirteen years ago 1 was wounded by a ball passing through my lung. I have had 11 bad cough almost ever since with 1 shortness of breath, and it was very I easy to tnke cold; the slighest change of weather would cause the cold to be so bad I would have to sit up' in bed ,,,,.,, . . , . all night. Could not eat or sleep at times; was all run down; could not work at nil A few months niro T be- woiiv at an. A lew niontis ago 1 oe gun using Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery. Have not used more than two bottles und now can eat, sleep and work and I feel like a new man. I cannot find words to sufficiently rec ommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, or tell the good it has done mo." "My wife hud hemorrhage of the lungs," writes AV. A. Sanders, Esq., of Hern, Mason Co., W. Aa. "She had ten hemorrhages, and the people nil around hero said she would never be well again. Rut she began to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and she soon began to gain strength and flesh. After taking ten bottles she was entirely well. Should you think this will do you any good to publish, jusi uso it, nnd If any one disputes the merits of thl almost omnipotent medi cine they may enclose selt-iddressed envelope v'lth stamp, and I will nn swer, tho pame as written in tnls let ter." THERE IS. NO DISPUTING THESE CURES. They atv fuels. They aio not scatter ed eases. T'.wy are only specimens of thousands of similar cures. It Is not believed that consumption in lis ul tlnnto stage Is curable Rut the great- est peril of tho consumptive Is to glvn lip, to submit pusilvely. because the local physician lias said "nothing moie cm be done for you." It Is Just such e'imes as these which have been cured by "Golden Medical Discovery." Were they cases of consumption? AVo know only what is said of them. Tho lo"al physicians said It was consump tion. There was weakness, emaciation, hemorrhage, night-sweats, cough. Tho doctors said "Nothing more can ho done. It is a hopeless case." And after thus passing sentence on the vic tim somebody suggested Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dlscovtry, nnd the "in curable" case was "cured." The action of tho "Discovery" Is en tirely philosophic. Life begins nntl ends with tho blood. The Independent life of the child begins with the llrst heart bent. AVhen tho "colden bowl Is broken" life Is ended. The difference between health and dlsase may b- stated as the dlfierence between poor blood and puro blood. It Is the blood which gives strength to tho vital organs. When the blood grows weak the body must grow weak with It. AVeik lungs mean Inevitably weak blood, weak In quality, weak in quan- l tSS J m , . fill 1 T g&ihr'A j yTvO' S J M S 1 , 1 -f l I ." k tlty, weak In the nouiishlng elements required to oflVot the waste and wear of the tlssi.is. Directly von begin to put strength Into tire blood, you put strength Into the weak organr which are fed by the blood. The healing power or Dr. I'lcive'a Golden Medical Discovery conns fioni the fact that It deals directly with the blood. It pttrl lii'S the blood from the wasie anil poisonous mutter which the enfeebled kidneys and Jher have not been able to get lid of. It puts Into the blood the light materials for building up the bodv, all ready for ue. It strengthens the stomach, Increases the activity of the blood making glandi', and lestores the digestive and nutritive organs to a condition of sound health. FHEE CONSlTli'A'l'lON.
