Permit me to send to my friends greetings from the Pan-Amrl-can city, which, excepting Main street, gives no signs of the Immense turmollh that is going on the grounds of the Pan-American In the neighborhood of Forest lane, the silent city of the dead. Only once was I at the exposition. My Impression was the display is worthy of the name the exposition hears, not In grandeur and Imagina tion, but n solidity.

Mr. and Mrs. William Dennlson, of Up To IS thoro anything more, fiendish than tho constant itching of the skin which will not bo quieted ? .Scratching is hko trying to put out a liro with turpentine it only adds fresh fuel to tho flame. The common cause of skin irritation is found in a diseased condition of tho blood. For this reason washes, lo tions, unguents, etc., though they may alleviate, can not cradicato tho dUcase. No medicine will " como up to tho scratch " which cannot cleanse tho blood of tho humors and poisons which corrupt tho health of tho wholo body. " COULD DO NOTHING BUT SCRATCH.'1 T consider your 'Golden Medical Discovery' one of the best medicines on the face of the earth," writes William Floeter, Esq., of Rcdoak, Montgomery Co., Iowa. "While in the south-west three years ago I got poisoned with poison ivy. The poison settled in my blocd and the horrors I suf fered cannot be told in words. I thought I would go crazy. I could do nothing but scratch. I would co to sleep scratch ing, would wake up in the morning aud find myself scratch ing. I scratched for eight months. Had it not been for ' Golden Medical Discovery ' I would be scratching yet. I tried different kinds of medicine tried different doctors but all the relief they could give me was to make my pocket-book lighter. I called on one of the leading doctors in a western town. He charged me one dollar; drugs cost two dollars and a half. If I had given that money away I would have been better off, for it did mc no good. I then began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Took four bottles without any relief. Kept taking it. I took in all ten bottles and I got entirely cured. I can say that if people would take your medicine instead of fooling with some of the quacks that infest the small and larger towns disease would flee like chaff before the wind." Tho action of "Golden Medical Discovery" upon tho blood is marked in two ways : by purifying tho blood and so removing tho causes of disease, and by increasing tho quantity as well a3 improving tho quality of tho blood. This increased supply of puro blood, rich with tho red corpuscles of health, carries new lifo to every organ of tho body. Weak organs aro thus strengthened and arc enabled to throw oil tho diseases which had fastened on them. In scrof ulous diseases the uso of " Golden Medical Discov ery" has timo and again worked wonders, curing sores, boils, eruptions, and other painful and dis figuring diseases. SIGHT ALMOST GONE. "My little daughter when seventeen months old became afflicted with scrofula, which affected her eyes," writes Mrs. Agnes L. Duncan, of Mansfield, Sebastian Co., Ark. ''She could not bear the light for over a year. We tried to cure her eyes, hut nothing did auy good. We had our home physician, and he advised us to take her to an oculist, as her eyelids would have to be 'scraped.' They had become so thick he thought she would never recover her sight. As there was no oue else to whom we could apply my heart sank within me. I went to your ' Common Sense Medical Adviser,' read your treatment on scrofula, getting the prop erties of medicines tkrrc advised. With five Iwttles of 'Golden Medical Discovery I have entirely cured my child." Scrofula of the lungs is the other namo for that diseased condition of tho lung tissues which, if neg lected, or unskillfully treated, terminates in consump tion. Tho many marvelous cures of " weak " lungs, by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, aro effected along the samo lines as tho cures of other forms of scrofulous disease ; by purifying tho blood from poi sonous substances and increasing tho activity of tho blood-making glands, so that tho blood, on which every organ depends for vitality, is abundantly sup plied to each dependent organ. A MINISTER'S EXPERIENCE. "Regarding Dr. R. V. Pierce a distinguished prince among physicians, and the medicines you manufacture valuable re medial agents, I desire to send you this brief, unsolicited testimonial," writes Rev. Joseph H.

This being true, I heartily endorse your medicines." There aro certain medicines which aro offered as llood-mnkinfj medicines, but no medicine can make a drop of blood. Blood is mado from food. Blood is tho vital principle of tho body. Strength is bnilt up from blood. Blood and strength aro aliko the product of tho food wo eat. Tako away a man's food and you tako away his life. Tako away a man's blood and ho dies. Give a man blood and you give him strength. The great fact is that life de pends upon food, and on tho ability of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition to extract tho nourishment from tho food and distribute to blood, brain and bone, tho salts, phosphates and lirao thev live on. " Golden Medical Discovery " cannot make a drop of blood. It can no moro add to a man's strength than to his stature. What it can do and what it does is to put the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition into perfect working order so that the nourishment in the food is extracted and assimilated and mado into blood and strength.

My stomach was in a dreadful condition and I could neither eat nor sleep. For four weeks I drank only ice-water. I was taken clown in the same manner the nextyear. I suffered for twoor three weeks, and again last winter I began suffering with a pain in my side. It kept getting worse and I had to have a doctor, and he pronounced it a kind of malaria and Grippe. What I suffered I could never express to anyone. I could eat noth ing; had to lie flat onniy back and could not rise from the bed. ICvcryoue thought I could not live. I had to be cov ered with mustard plasters and apply hot irons, etc. I bought two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery and a vial of his ' Pellets. Took the medicines accord ing to directions and began to improve slowly. The way it helped my stomach was just wonderful. I still continue the use of the medicines, and now have taken not less than six teen bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and quite a number of the vials of the ' reliefs.' " For catarrh I have used six bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and am cured of that trouble also. I cannot say nor write enough in praise of Dr. Pierce's medicines. I know that no other medicine in the world could have bene fited mc in the way it has. I have had no bad spell of bick ness since I began its use, and I feel entirely well." Tho wide range of cures performed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover' may bo attributed to the scientific method of tho treatment which cures through tho stomach diseases which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Blood is the life, but blood is made from food, and the conversion of food into nutrition depends upon the health of the stomach and its allied organs. "Golden Medical Discovery" heals the stomach and so removes the contaminating cause of the blood's impurity. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, so that a stream of mire, rich blood is sunnlicd. ade quate to the nourishment of all the organs of the body. It restores the lost appetite and builds up the body with sound flesh instead of flabby fat. It induces restful, refreshing sleep, and brightens the mental faculties in correspondence with the phybical restoration. There is no alcohol in the "Discovery" and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine, chloral and all other narcotics. It can be given with as much safety to the weakest child as to the strongest man. your dealer for " Golden Medical Dis- eovery " don't be turned aside from your purpose by any oiler of "just as good " medicines. If it's any thing else than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dip eovery it won't do the work which tho "Discovery" does. Get the " Discovery " and get cured.
