freedom from heart trouble was gained
by leaving off coffee and using Postum

trouble involving disturbance of the
heart's action resulted.
"On coming to Texas I fell Into the
habit of drinking coffee after hard,
cold rides In my practice or when in
camp or on the trail. My heart trouble
soon became exceedingly aggravating,
resulting In frequent attacks of what
was pronounced angina pectoris, a se
vere agonizing pain over the heart ex
tending to the back and sometimes
down the left arm.
"In some of these attacks but for the
timely administration of morphine In

"At different times I abandoned the
use of coffee, believing it the cause of
my troubles, and Invariably Improved,

The heavy snow fall of last Saturday filled Carbondalo with picturesque sights, a few of which are shown in
the Illustration.
Memorial park was never more picturesquely mantled. It was a big picture of white, the fantastic shapes of
the snow-coveied trees and shrubs relieving the monotony of color. This picture could be duplicated In scores of
places about tho town, but kodaUors showed a choice for this spot by reason of it being a public place which would
be most fumiliar when preserved by the photographer's nrt.
The plctuie showing Main street, sweeping In the city hall, the park and the Anthracite building, gives a good
Idea of how the snow fell in Carbondale and how much must molt in the thaw that is in progress. Not a foot
of the street car tracks were visible until yesterday. On the days succeeding tho heavy fall, tho heaviest in
years, exceeding that of JS&S. one would never know that there were rails along tho street; the roadway was
heaped with snow and looked somewhat like a well traveled road in winter. This condition continued without no
ticeable change until yesterday, when here and there pools of slush lodged, the frisky horses spattering pedes
trians with snow and water. Tho streets of Carbondale are so packed with snow that It will take a thaw of
weeks to clean them.

Those who nie familar with Elbert
Hubbard's Philistine might feel con
strained to say The Ego smacks some
what of Fia Elberlus, but this would
bo only complimentary to The Ego's
editor, Charles It. Munn. Rut one who
lias followed Mr. Mima's style, his or

firm courage In making Ills opinions
known, will not hestlnte to assert that
The ICgo will do no aping in its career.
Many blight, Interesting', clever and
able things can be expected from The
Ego, The fust number gives expected
measure and there Is no reason why
the magazine should not achieve a
wide ch dilation among appreciative
leaders.
The contents of the first number are:
"Tho Lost Heart," a conquest of love
In verse; "Two Men," by George S.
Kimball; "Monosyllable Uellectlons," by
Colonel John McComb, and a verse and
poem by the editor, Charles R." Munn.
Mr. Kimball's article Is an estimate
of two great eharueteix of the last half
century, AVllliam McKinley and King
Edward, of England. As an estimate
It reveals u close acquaintance and
study of the lives of both men, weigh
ing well their deeds and liestowiug
credit with the spirit of justice and fair
play ruling him. It has a literary
style and finish that aie sure to sur
prise even Mr. Kimball's own admirers,
those who had the best opportunities
to appreciate him. -
Colonel John Mi Comb accomplishes
something in the way of composition
that so far as Is known has never
been before achieved. It Is the feat of
Intelligently and forcefully discussing
a subject in monosyllables to the num
ber of a, J 49, The article far from being
dry, as one readily suspects, retains
one's Interest throughout, while It pro

Impressive manner. Colonel McComb
flays tho man or woman who is un
charitable In speech, the Gab Tramp is
his designation, and ho makes a com
mendable praiseworthy plea tor charity

These "Monosyllabic Reileetlons" are
sure to nttract a good deal attention
among the interested ones.
In his contribution. Mr, Muiiu gives
some of bis ideas of life and states that
this Is what prompted the publication
of tho "llttlo periodical pamphlet" he
calls It, the telling of what we think we
know of life.

It is said that tho llttlo pitcher plant of our qwn country, which
satisflca its flesh-craving nppclilo with insects, grows to enormous
proportions in sonic tropical climates and feeds upon men. Travel
ers have told strange and affrighting stories of this freak of flowers;
stories in which somo wanderer groping his way nt night, per
chance, is caught on tho thorns of "the hungry plant and dovourcd,
tho shreds of clothes still clinging to tho thorns, being tho only cluo
to tho man's unhappy end.
The man-eating plant may ho a myth, but even if it bo a reality
its perils arc rare nnd insignificant compared with tho dangers to
which avo arc-exposed in our own country from an insatiable man
eating microbe. Thousands and tens of thousands arc destroyed
by this microbo every year, nnd so fatal is its attack that in a great

Blow consuming gives iih iiamu 10 mo disease ib muicaies
Consumption. In view of tho peril of pulmonary diseaso and
tho prevalent fooling of tho hopolcssncss of finding a cure for
diseased lungs, thero aro two great facts that aro worth remem
bering. Tho first fact is this : About twenty-five per cent,
of men and women dying in hospitals havo tho lungs marked
by the scars of tuberculosis. They havo all had consumption,
and have overcome it. They havo had consumption and been
cured. In thoso scars that mark tho Iicalcu Avounus m
lung tissues, Nature affirms, consumption has been cured.
Tlio second important fact to remember in connection
with the provalenco of consumption is this : Dr. Pierco'B
Goldon Medical Discovery cures obstinate coughs, bron
chitis, Aveak lungs and other forms of disease, which if
neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal termination
in consumption. It is admitted that in the present
stago of medical scienco consumption in its extreme
stages is incurable. But Avhat is the cxtrcmo and incur
ablo stage? In a letter which follows it is said that .
tho physicians pronounced tho writer in the last stago
of consumption. But " Golden Medical Discovery "
cured, her.
"I would like to express my gratitude toyou for the benefit
I have received from your wonderful medicines," writes Mrs.
Harrelte Martin, of Pcdlo, Boone Co., Ark. "For seven yeaia
I suffered with a complication of diseases, including heart
trouble, dyspepsia, catarrh qf the stomach and female weak
ness. During that time I think I suffered all that human flesh
could suffer. I was never without paius somewhere or other.
Was just dragging around; part of the time in bed, and wns
nimble to do anything at all. Iu the summer of 1S98I was
obliged to go to bed. Had smothering spells and a great
misery in the lower bowels, and a very severe couch. I was
treated bv three of the
I could not sit up only as I was propped up in bed. or I would cough and
smother until I could not lie down. Finally, the doctors said I had con
sumption in the last stage and that I was bound to die. No one that saw
me said I would ever get well, so I gave up in despair. My husband per
suaded me to try Dr. Pierce's medicine, so he bomjlit me .1 bottle of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I could tell my cough was better after a
few doses. I continued bis medicine until I had taken sis bottles each of his
'Golden Medical Discovery' and ' Favorite- Prescription.' Now I do my own
work for my -family of four. I have had no bad spells since taking the
medicines."
"The doctors said I had consumption in tho last stage and Avas bound to
die." The Avoruan under that death scntenco Avas reprieved and restored to
life and its activities by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
There aro people who will say, "The doctors must have been Avrong. They
made a mistake. She could not have had consumption iu its last stage." That
may bo true. Doctors do make mistakes. They surely made a mistake when
they said Mrs. Martin Avas " bound to die." She did not dio. " Golden Med
ical Discovery " cured her.
Doctors in their diagnosis of disease may be right or wrong, but this fact
remains that men and Avomen Avith deep-seated coughs, Aveak and bleeding
lungs, night-sweats and emaciation have been perfectly and permanently cured
by tho use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
If you aro troubled with a cough don't neglect it. Cure it by the use of
" Golden Medical DiscoA-ery." If your lungs are Aveak and thero is a tendency
to lung "trouble" "Goldon Medical Discovery" makes weak lungs strong.
No matter what stago of disease you may ha-o reached " Golden Medical
Discovery " is worth a trial because it has cured so many so-called hopeless
cases, and reprieved so many sufferers from lung diseases avIio had been given
up to dio by local physicians.

Don't bo fooled into trading a substance for a
shadow. Any substitute offered as "just as good"
