WATER TALK.
No Problem Ever Excited Such Gen
eral Interest in This City.
The rise in water rates In this city
due to the control of the Consolidated
Water Supply company Is exciting
more Interest than any problem which
has commanded public attention in
years, Everybody Is talking water and
talking It with a zeal that will accom
plish something.
Municipal ownership, a new corpora
tion and appeal to the courts for pro
tection are hoped-for remedies which
are being turned over in the minds of
consumers. The dllllculty in the way
of the first is lack of legal right to
borft the city suiilclently In the sec
ond the danger that the octopus will
tenderly embrace and absorb the in
fant which presumes to compete anil
In the third, favorable results are by
no means promising enough to inspire
a "downtrodden public" with much
hope.
Hut with 009 persons out of every
1,000, of a 20,000 population, talking
water, eating, drinking, sleeping and
living water, spine plan may be
evolved to drown the insatiable octo
pus. The mayor and councils will voice
their sentiments next Monday night.

Science and Sentiment.
A Jliraclc or Science, Matched by
a Mlrnclo or Love.
Some time since tho newspapers told
n thrilling Btory of a dovoted husband
who had poured tho llfo blood from
his veins into tho wasted body of his
wife. The one thing which would save
hor wa3 blood good, red blood. Her
condition was such that her stomach
and digestive and nutritive system
failed In extracting from the food she
ate tho necessary blood supply. So ticTw
blood was lntioduced Into her veins
by transfusion direct from her hus
band's body, and with tho now blood
came new life.
It is, perhaps, not unnatural that In
tho popular view of such a ense tho
sentimental features should entirely
outweigh tho scientific Interest which
attaches to It. "The blood Is the llfo."
How impressive that statement bo
comes with this scene before us! Scien
tifically It follows that any attempt to
build up the life must be made through
the blood. Purer blood means health
ier life. More blood means more life.
New blood means new life. Just In
proportion as the blood Is Impure, thin,
deficient In the red corpuscles of
health, so the new life will be marred
by weakness and disease.
BEGIN WITH THE BLOOD.
The lesson taught by Nature and by
Science to every scholar In the school
of physical suffering Is this: The cure
of disease must begin with the blood.
And It is In accord with the teaching
of Nature and of Science that Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery op
erates to give physical healing and
strength. It makes new blood. It
makes more blood by Increasing the
activity of the blood-making glands.
It purifies the blood from the germs
and poisons which corrupt the vital
fluid and breed disease. In doing this
It removes the common cause of dis
ease, increases physical vitality and
vigor, nnd builds up the body with
good, sound flesh.
There are a great many claims made
for medicines ns blood mnklng and
blood purifying which are at once ns
unsound as they are unscientific. The
statements made of the medicines
would convey the Idea that as soon as
the medical fluid Is taken into the
stomach It Is at once, by some marvel
ous alchemy, converted Into good, red
blood. But blood Is made from food,
not from medicine, and a deficient
blood supply Is commonly due to the
fact that the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition are diseased.
Tho nourishment In the food Is only
partly extracted, and this partial nour
ishment is only Imperfectly assimilat
ed. There is a loss and a leakage go
ing on In each successive process of
digestion and assimilation.
MINING MEN KNOW
that when the stamps in the mill are
wot king Imperfectly, more gold will be
lost In the tailings than will be saved
In the battery. That's the way it Is
when the stomach Is not working prop
erlythe rich, nutritive elements of
the food ore lost. Many a man, In
summer time, has picked up n bucket
which has been standing unused In
tho sun, and undertaken to carry
water In it. He fills the bucket and
the water leaks anif spurts on every
side, nnd by the time he reaches the
barn half the water is lost.
That's only another Illustration of
he loss which occurs in t.'e weak
stomach from the leekage of the nu
tr'llvo values In the foods which uro
rpten.
Common sense thea fays at oik e If
the blooc! Is made In tho stomach, we
must i tit the stoma it and Its t ;'ed
cipans Into good working order be
fore we can have good blood, or an In
creased supply of blood. That Is Just
the primary work which Is done by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
goes back of the blood ui the blco.l
makers. Ie cleanses the slomncii of
the foulness which must foul the food
put into It, and so foul the blood made
from the food. It strengthens the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, so that they do their work
perfectly, the nutritive values In tho
food being perfectly extracted nnd
perfectly assimilated. It Increases tho
action of tho blood-making glands, su
that the blood supply Is Increased.
Tho blood Is pure because there's noth
ing in the stomach to contaminate It.
It is rich because all the vital elements
of the food eaten nro extracted and
put Into the blood Instead of being
wasted. It drives out dlseaso germs
becauso germs depend on corruption
for their llfo. They are like maggots
which only llvo In tainted meat. When
the blood Is clean the germ dlsapears.
He cannot live in the same veins and
arteries with that rollicking red cor
puscle of health, which brightens the
eye, reddens the cheek and rounds out
tho body.
THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
If "Golden Medical Discovery" does
all these things the results ought to
show lit tho body, which Is built up
from tho blood. Of course they ought,
and they do. In every ono of tho
thousands upon thousands of letters
received from thosa who have been
cured by this great medicine thero Is
senrcely ever missing tho reference to
tho gain In sound flesh, tho Increase of
strength and tho clear complexion
which have accompanied the cure of
tho disease.
"It gives me great pleasure to Inform
you of the benefits that I havo realized
1 from the ubq of your 'Golden Medical
Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets,'"
writes Mrs. J. C. Fink, of Yost, Rowan
Co,, N. C. "Last winter I was so bad
oft that I thought It Impossible for me
to 11 vo until Spring. I wns taken sick
In January nnd was In pain nil over.
The doctor wan called and he said my
liver was out of order. He gavo me
Bomo medicine, but It did me no good.
I grew steadily worse. I could not cat
as much ns one bite of bread without
great pain, and wns so hungry all the
tlmo that I thought I would starve to
death. My head ached, my shoulders
ached; I was cross, my brain failed so
much that I thought I was almost in
sane. I could not sleep nights only a
short while nt a time. Would get up
mornings so weuk nnd nervous I could
scarcely stand, My hands and feet
were cold all day and at night they
were burning hot. So I worried on nnd
on, though some days I thought I
could not live until the next. Some
days my bowels moved I dare say,
twenty-five times, nnd scarcely any
thing but mucous and blood, accom-
panled by sickening pains in my stom
ach and bowels. In this way I suffered
I think about two months when a
friend of mine Induced me to write to
Dr. Pierce for advice, which I did. His
answer was that I had liver complaint
and Indigestion, nnd advised me to
take his 'Golden Medical Discovery.'
I followed tho Doctor's directions close
ly, and in a few days I could discover
that I was getting better slowly. Ev
ery day I felt just a little better, then
I could begin to eat a little light diet.
Then I began to sleep a little better at
night, and In the morning would feel
refreshed and rested. Next I began to
Improve rapidly. I kept right on tak
ing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and his 'Pleasant Pellets,' and
kept getting better every day. I took
eight bottles of 'Golden Medical Dis
covery' and several vials of 'Pleasant
Pellets,' and I felt that I was well
enough to leave off medicine and go to
work, which I did with plensure. I
have not taken any medicine since, ex
cept Dr. Pierce's Pellets. I can eat
anything and as much as I want, and
it never hurts me a particle." v
THIS IMPORTANT FACT
Is suggested by the letter of Mrs. Fink:
Many diseases In organs remote from
the stomach are caused by the stom
ach and must be cured through tho
stomach. It is a common thing to find
people who have taken Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for "stom
ach trouble," expressing their wonder
at the cure of the diseases of the liver,
kidneys, heart or lungs. There really
Is nothing wonderful In such cures.
The poisonous flower of disease may
blossom in any part of the body and
yet root in the stomach. "Golden
Medical Discovery" plucks up the root
and the disease dies away. But. that
cures of diseased lungs should bo
wrought In this way, seems to some
people Incredible. Yet the lungs are
nourished and built up just like every
organ of the body by blood. Turn a
leaping stream of rich, red blood into
a diseased spot and its like turning a
stream of water Into a fire. It stllles
It at once, nnd soon extinguishes it al
together. Blood Is life to the lungs
just as well as to the heart, and tho
"Discovery" by making more blood and
richer blood heals the lacerated tissues
and strengthens tho organs assailed
by disease to fight against it and
throw It off. Even when the lungs
have been weakened by many hemorr
hages, and the body has grown weak
through lack of power to eat or assi
milate food, when the cough has been
obstinate and deep rooted, nnd emacia
tion most extreme, health comes back
by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medl
cul Discovery.
"Last spring I was taken with se
vere pains In my chest, and was so weak
I could hardly walk about the house,"
says Mrs. G. i. Kerr, of Fort Dodge,
Webster Co., Iowa. "I tried several
physicians and they told me I had con
sumption, but that I might perhaps
live a good many years. I heard of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
nnd I thought I would try some of it.
Before I had taken the first bottle I
was very much better. I took live bot
tles of It and have not had any re
turn of the trouble. I have nlso taken
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
'Pleasant Pellets with good results."
"My wife had hemorrhages of the
lungs," writes W. A. Sanders, of Hem,
Mason Co., W. Vn. "She had i;en
hemorrhages, and the people all around
here said she would never be well
again. But she began to take Dr.
Pic ice's Golden Medical Discovery, and
she soon began to gain strength and
fitsh. After taking ten bottles she was
entirely well. Should you think this
will do you any good to publish, Just
use it.and If any ono disputes tho merits
of this almost omnipotent 'medlclna
they may enclose self-addressed en
velope with stamp, and I will answer,
tho same as written In this letter."
Persons suffering from chronle forms
of disease nre invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence strictly private and absolutely
confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce.
