CONDEMNED BY JUDGE
A Grand Jury Sets Aside
the Verdict.
A man stands on the scnffold. He Is
Innocent of crime, but ignorance lias
linked him with criminals In such a
way that evidence Is ngalnst him. Ho
tut ns to look his last on tho sun nnd
tho sky. Somehow there comes back to
him tho thought of how tho sun shone
In his bedroom window in boyhood.
With a smile ho turns to meet Ills fate.
Stop! There is a cry; a growing roar
ns the sound of many waters. Tho
great sea of humanity about tho scaf
fold breaks into tumultuous waves.
And tluough that sea a rider wades
holding on high a parchment, whilo
about him grows ever louder the glad
cry of one word "reprieved!" Tho
mnn can hnrdly realize that ho is to
live and not to die. He has for weeks
been wntchlng the slow advance of
death, a step nearer with every tick of
the clock, with cveiy beat of tho heart.
He has prepared himself for the fate '
from which there seemed no escape,
and now he Is to live, to be a part of
ithls active, busy world again from
which he has been so long shut out.
Never did the sky seem so blue, the
sun so bright, or tho world so fair as at
this moment.
That scone Is rare though it has been
enacted more than once. But there Is a
scene enacted every dny somewhere In
this woilil yes, every hour of every
day, In which some poor suiforcr con
demned to death, waits hopelessly for
execution of the sentence, Theie is no
gathered crowd, no public demonrtra
tlon, no wide interot In thlc coining
death. Sometimes tho scene Is in tho
garret of a city house, where the sun
finds only one little window to look In
at ns he passes in his dally round.
There some young man walt3 In utter
loneliness the fatal hour. Or the scene
may be laid In a spacious chamber,
where nurses go about quietly and anx
ious friends stand by to help nnd com
fort. Perhaps it's tho father of a fam
ily, who feels his day coming nnd won
ders what will become of his babes.
Or perhaps it's a poor seamstress, who
sits and coughs, while tho hectic burns
In her cheek and her breast heaves
with her convulsive breathing. Some
where, such as ithese, every hour of
every day, sit waiting for the sentence
of death to bo cnrrled out.
Who condemned them?
JUDGE IGNORANCE.
Judge Ignorance insists that certain
diseases aro Incurable, he says that
the most Incurable of 'these diseases
affect the lungs. And when there's
cough, hectic, night-sweats, emaciation.
bleeding nt the lungs, some or all of
theso conditions, then the death sen
tenco Is pronounced.
Whntp does the Jury say? Judge
Ignorance declines a Jury trial. Ho
objects to Juries. He says Juries are
ignorant. They don't know what they
aro talking about. "I say," he blusters,
"that such things are Impossible. You
can't be cuied when itlie lungs are so
affected, and if you say you had an
obstinate cough, spitting of blood, were
worn to a shadow, couldn't take nour
ishment nnd then got well by the uso
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery, nil I can say is you are mistaken
about tho disease. You couldn't get
well under such conditions." That's the
Ipso dixit of Judge Ignorance. But sup
pose we empanel a Jury, the largest
Jury ever empaneled In tho world's
history, a Jury of one hundred thousand
men nnd women. Every member of
this Jury hns been cuied of dls-ense by
"Golden Medical Discovery," under
Just such conditions ns Judge Ignornnco
Kiys nro Impossible. Outside our gigan
tic Jury box nre nnother hundred thou
sand men and women who have been
Mmllnrly cured by tho samo medbine.
And among this great throng nre thou
Fnndu condemned by Judge ignorance
to a inferable death. Ho said they
were too sick to live. But hero they aro
very much alive. They've got their
woi king clothes on. They've como from
the forge, 'the plow, the store; from the
churn nnd typewriter, from the parlor
and from the nfflce. It's nn Interesting
Jury. It radiates health nnd happiness,
Tho people that compose It aro the
backbone of citizenship; 'tho people
who woik with brain and body, the pro
ducers, tho grent rnlddle class, of whom
Longfellow's Blacksmith Is the splendid
type, a man of brawn, his fnco tanned,
his hnnds hard.and with level eyes that
"look tho whole world In the face."
"Tolling, rcpotolng. Eorrowlng,
Onward throunh llfo ho goes
Each morning sees t-orne task begun
Knch evening sees its close.
Something attempted. Fomcthlng dono
Has earned a night's repose."
It is that kind of man and his family
who make up our Jury. And a poll of
that Jury would bring testimonies such
as theso from every member, man or
woman;
Mr, Charles A. Moore, of Fivemilo.
Mason Co., W. Va., testifies; "I had
been afflicted with lung trouble for two
years. I tried an mo surrounaing pny
slclans but ithey did no good. After a
. I I II III i I y W I
f tJ$ It?)
. . . I
long period I bought n bottle of your
'Golden 'Medical Discovery,' and after
taking four bottles I am entirely cured,
nnd I stand firm to recommend your
great 'Discovery' to all people afflicted
with lung trouble. 1 now feel stronger
than I ever did."
W. A. Sanders, of Hern, Mason Co.,
W, Va., testifies: "My wifo had hemor
rhage of the lungs; she had ten hemor
rhages, and tho people nil around hero
said she would never bo well again.
But she began to take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and she soon
began to gain strength and llesh. After
tnklng ten bottles she was entirely well.
Should you think this will do you any
good to publish, Just uso It, and if any
ono disputes tho merits of this almost
omnipotent medicine they mny cncloso
self-nddresscd envelope with stamp,
nnd I will answer, the samo as writ
ten In this letter."
John M. RU3scll, can,-, of Brent,
Cherokee Nat., Ind. Ty testifies: "Last
spring I had a sevcro attack of pneu
monia which left me with a very bad
cough, nnd also left my lungs In a very
bad condition. I had no appetite and
was so weak I could scarcely walk. My
breast was all covered with running
sores. I got two bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which I be
lieve saved my life. I cannot express
my gratitude to you. I am able now
to do very good work."
Every man nnd woman
of that great Jury can tell
a similar tale.
What does that testi
mony mean for it he suf
feier who hns been con
demned by Judge Ignor
nnco? IT MEANS REPRIEVE.
It means that 'Golden
Medical Discovery" cures
such cases of throat dis
ease, weak and bleeding
lungs, bronchitis and ob
stinate cough, which, if
neglected or badly tteatcd,
lead to consumption.
There is no alcohol or
whisky contained in tho
"Discovery," nornny other
Intoxicant. It has in it
no opium or other nar
cotic, neither sugar nor
syrup. Without any of
these It preserves its
pleasant flavor and heal
ing properties In any cli
mate. There Is no stimu
lation or false strength
In "Golden Medical Dis
covery." It works with
Naturealong natural lines
to build up the waste
places of the body. It
heals the stomach, puts
the organs of digestion
nnd nutrition In sound
working condltlon.and In
creases ithe notion of the
blood - making glands.
When this is done the
stomach begins to prop
erly nourish the starved
and diseased organs, and
ns these acquire strength
from nourishment they
begin to fight against disease, to throw
It off. Thus weak lungs are nourished
until they become strong lungs, and
strong lungs have power to expel dis
ease. If you are sick and doubting you arc
Invited to write to Dr. IPIerce, with
out fee or charge of any kind. Dr.
Pierce has for over thirty years been
chief consulting phvslclan of the In
valid's Hotel and World's Dispensary,
at Buffalo, New York. In that time he
hns treated half a million cases, with
the result that only it wo out of every
hundred have failed of a perfect cure,
and even many of those have been
greatly benefited. If you belong to tho
ninety-eight per cent, of cases which
Dr. Fierce has proven to bo curable,
you can do no bettor 'than to ask his
opinion of your case. Ask It at once,
for In disease delays arc very danger
ous. Every letter is held as strictly
private and sacredly confidential. Write
without fear ns without fee.
There's no law to prevent any dealer
telling you that something else is "Just
ns good" when you ask for Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There's no
law against it, but there ought to be,
because It is not true. There Is no
medicine known that has such a record
of cures as tho "Discovery."
There's no law against your accepting
such a substitute, "Just ns good" medi
cine from your dealer, and there ought
not to be ono. If the law of common
sense won't protect a buyer from de
colt, then no other law cemld do It. No
dealer offers "Just as good" medicines
in place of Dr. Plerco's unless he is
trying to mako a little extra profit by
selling a cheaper and Inferior article,
but which mnkes him a few cents more.
If you go for "Discovery" get "Dis
covery." There wns once a mnn who tried to
sell gold gulnens on London Bridge,
Englnnd, for a penny apiece, and hard
ly made a sale all day. People wouldn't
believe the guineas wero real gold. It
was noo good to be true. Doubtless
some people are deterred from writing
for Dr. Plerco's great gift of the Peo
ple's Common Sense Medical Adviser,
liellovlng that a book of 1003 pages and
containing over 700 Illustrations, can't
be given away. But It Is so. And peo
ple who recelvo It Und It more valuable
than a golden guinea, estimating It ns
"worth Its weight In gold."
Paul Rossbach. proprietor of the Len
nox Milling Co., I'nnox, Lincoln Co.,
S. Dak., writes: "Your book, the Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, received,
for which please accept my thanks. I
have found the book worth Its weight
In gold, nnd I think that every ono that
is interested In his own welfare ought
to rend this book."
