But there is a time when bllndnens stamps the blind as a criminal. That time is when the blind man undertakes leadership. Im agine the situation. Weak and suffering; women, blind as to their own needs, put their hands in confi- dence Into the hand of otne self styled lc adcr, w Ith the result that both fall into the ditch of failure, and she, poor thltifr, ntag gets on a few more paces only to fall into the last ditch, the house appointed for all living." AN F.XPKRIENCKD KXPHRT KHBDhD. Let us drop all figures of speech and face the ficti frankly. Here are thouMiids of people sufiritig from disease of one form or another. The cry of the sufferer is for sonic one to lead him out of this desert of disease into the promised land of health. Here is Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y.. who has a record of more than a quarter of a million of cases and 98 out of every hun dred led to perfrct health. An experience of thirty years as chief consulting physi cian to the Invalid' Hotel nnd Surfrlcal Institute, at Huffalo, N. Y., guarantees him to be familiar with every phase and form of disease. But consumption! Is that cured too by Dr. Tierce's medicines? Among the hope less (so called) cases were those who had the night sweats, the hectic flush, the hack ing cough, the racked lungs, and the ema ciated, or wasted body, which are accepted symptoms of consumption. Their home physicians said they had consumption. They also said that their days were num bered. Yet these same people treated years ago, have lost the night sweats, lost the lung pains, lost the cough, have re gained their normal weight, and are living1 right along in the hearty enjoyment of a healthy, happy life. They eat well, sleep well, and enjoy life. Perhaps they are not cured. Perhaps their days are numbered. But if the number is three score and ten and they live a life FULL OP HKAXVTIIY ENJOYMENT, life might as well end by consumption as bv any other disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has produced such re lulls in thousands of cases. Mr. John O Born, 40J0 Liberty Av e , rittsburg. Pn , writes " Some thirty months ro I said to my wife, 'I don t want to keep nn thing from you, I must tell ynei I am In the list stage of consumption ' In December, 1896 1 commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I couM then only gpeak In whUpern I lta e taken thirtreu bottles and on say with truth I am grently benefited People ore surprised to hear me speak.

The colors are mostly blue and lavender . grounds, with white figures and designs. A very large purchase makes their special price. 15 As you observe them in the Wyo ming Avenue entrance window, you'll pronounce them silk, and worth the price of silk. Washable, too.
