NOT ENOUGH MONEY.

'They Said
It Was
Fatal."
S
Mr.
An in.
stance of
the way doctors
mavbe mistaken is shown
In the experience narrated by Dr Joseph
Pike, of Lost Spring, Marion Co., Kan.
"Ten years ago" he says "there was an
emigration from Rusland to this coun
try, and there was a lady in the company
who was badly affected with that dreadful
disease scrofula. Her mouth and throat
wera la an awful condition, and there were
lumps on the outside below the Jaws the
site of a hen's tfj, Other doctors bad
been called and they said it was a fatal case.
" I was called and made my diagnosis ; I
felt confident that none of my remedies
would do her any permanent good It came
to my mind that Dr. Tierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery was recommended for it, so I
went to the drup store and bought one bot
tle and gave it to her to usa as directed.
Five bottles cured her nnd she is well to
day. She is married now and has three
healthy children.
"If this is a credit to your medicine"
adds Dr. Pike in a communication to Dr.
Pierce " you can use it. I am usius; a rood
many of your medicines in my practice,"
In bis own profession Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. V., is honored as among the
foremost of living specialists in diseases
of the blood and nervous system. If your
health is poor write to him in perfect con
fidence for good advice. It will be sent
you in a plain sealed envelope, without
charge.
For the most obstinate forms of const',
nation, use Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Their action Is' prompt yet comfortable;
their effect Is permanent Insist that the
druggist docs not give you something else.

work, however. It should get Its ap
propriation enlarged. There Is only $100

Busy
Days,
From present indications, our business for the month of
May, 1899, will be close to double that of the same month
one year ago. Sales records are being smashed here every
day now. The store pulse beats with enthusiasm.
Were our goods not the best and our prices not the
lowest there would be no accounting for this rapid growth
Honest representation and public confidence are everything
in this world. Hold the key to one and you can unlock the
the door to the tfther.
Here are many columns of store news concerning care
fully gathered items of merchandise all carefully priced.
They are not carelessly thrown before you to fill space in
this paper, for space costs money.
Will you read and profit? We think you will.
Another Thin
You must be satisfied with what you buy here, every
time, or your money will be cheerfully refunded. A store
rule that is no respecter of persons.
Mattin
A lew years ago selling mattings at ten cents a yard would have
been out of the question and it is even yet in most houses. Not so
here, however.
We offer you a very good matting at that price a matting that
will look well on the floor and wear well.
Patterns are desirable, too. Most of them have stinw grounds with
fancy colored checks. Ordinarily they'd be priced 15c yard. Now 10c.
Speaking of mattings calls to mind carpets. Assortment was nev
er better here than it is today; in fact, some of the patterns are prettier
than the early season ones. And no matter what you want it's lowest

Appreciators of economy who love corset goodness ought to flock here
today.
We have 36 dozen of a well-known make of corsets that we know
have never been offered under a dollar. It is a kind the selling of which
has been very great. Hence sizes are broken.
Thev come in drab, white and black. Present sizes are 18, 23, 24,
25, 26, 27, 28 and 29, but there is not a complete line of sizes in any
one color.

actual cost. Now, won't you come ?
