What Our Neighbors Say.
Tnlon City, Pa.—"l got run down
and lacked tone. I read about what
'a good medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is, so I made up
my mind to try some. I began taking
It and was surprised that it built me
up so fast. I did not need any alter
the first bottle. It is the finest medi
cine of its kind on earth. When I use
any pills for indigestion and constipa
tion I always use the 'Pleasant Pel
lets.' They relieve me and seem to
tone up the slack in the stomach and
other parts. I like Dr. Plerce'« reme
dies the best of any."—Mß. E. O.
EteowißS, Union City.
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery cures diseases of the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition.
It increases the assimilative powers,
and purifies and enriches the blood.
When diseases of organs remote from
the stomach are caused by the stom
ach, the cure of the stomach results
in the cure of the other diseases, in
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.
Sold in either tablet or liquid form.
If your dealer does not keep the
Bugar-coated tablets, send 50 cents (in
stamps) for a box. It is the world's
proved blood purifier. It's not a secret
remedy for its ingredients are printed
on the wrapper. Start to take it to-day
and before another day has passpd, the
impurities of the blood will begin to
leave your body through the liver,
kidneys, bowels and skin, and in a
few days you will know by your
steadier nerves, firmer step, keener
mind, brighter eves and clearer skin
that the bad blood is passing out, and
new, rich, pure blooa is filling your
arteries.
The saineicood blood will cause
pimples, acifl| eczema and all skin
eruptions to aFy up and disappear.
Why You Should
Eat Iron If
Nervous or "Run Down"
Pale, Weak, or Thin—V Secret of the
Great Strength and Endurance
Often Shown by Athlete*
and Prize Fighter*
By Dr. E. Sauer —Physician-writer.
A grain of wheat played hide and
seek with the mummies in the dry dust
and dirt of the pyramids of Egypt for
4000 years—then It afterwards grew
V'hen water was added to the soil. Hut
rain or moisture is absolutely necessary
to change wheat Into a living plant: so
iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to absorb and carry oxygen,
to change the bread and meat you eat
Into blood, brain and brawn. Without
iron your food passes Through your
body just like coal passing through a
grate without being burned. You may
eat enough, but your- food doesn't do
you any good. You don't get the
strength out of it.
Nature has decreed that there should
be one part of iron In every 230 of
red fcorpuscles. To supply this demand
she has placed iron in a great variety
of food you eat. but often you do not
get enough or it Is not properly assimi
lated. This Is such a serious thing that
old mother Nature has fixed a loud
alarm bell (nervousness.l a big sign
<paleness), and other danger signals,
to warn you when your blood needs
Iron.
That weak, nervous "rundown" con
dition, those fits of melancholy and the
"blues." that nervous Irritability that
causes you to "fly all to pieces" on the
slightest provocation: those restless
nights; pains across the back: disposi
tion to tire easily: profuse perspiration
inside your hands; that nervous consti
pation or Indigestion accompanied by
pale anaemic symptoms are nothing in
the world but your starving blood cor
fiuscles crying out for iron, iron, more
ron . In the race of strength and en
durance, many an athlete and prize
fighter has won the day simply because
he filled his blood with iron and many
another has gone down in defeat sim
ply for lack of iron.
Two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated'lron eaten or taken three times
a uav after meals will often give most
surprising physical and mental power in
one or two weeks' time. I always first
prescribe It In every case. Indicated
above, that comes to me.—E. Sauer. M.
D
NOTE Nuxated Iron recommend
ed above by Dr. Sauer, is one of tlie
newer organic iron compounds. Unlike
the older inorganic iron products. It is
easily assimilated, does not injure the
teeth, make them black, nor upset the
stomach: on the contrary, It is a most
potent remedy, in nearly all forms of
indigestion, as well as for nervous, run
down conditions. It is dispensed in this
city by all leading druggists.—Adver

HOW TO REDUCE
YOUR WEIGHT
A SIMPLE, SAFE AND RELIABLE
WAY
People who are over-burdened with
superfluous fat. know only too well the
discomfort and ridicule that over-stout
people have to bear.
If you are carrying around five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital or
gans and are carrying a burden which
destroys the beauty of your figure.
There is no need of anyone suffering
from superfluous fat. If you want to
reduce your weight in a simple, safe
and reliable way. without starvation
diet or tiresome exercise, spend as much
time as you can In the open air, breathe
deeply ar.d get from any good druggist
a box of oil of koreln capsules; take one
after each meal and one before retiring
at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as to
know just how fast you are losing
weight and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip a single dose until
you are down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, helps digestion and
is designed to consume the excessive
fatty tissue by increasing the oxygen
carrying power of the blood. Even a
few days' treatment should show a no
ticeable reduction in weight, footsteps
become lighter-vour work seems easier
and a lighter and more buoyant feeling
take possession of your whole being.
Every person who suffers from super
fluous fat should give this treatment a
trial, there is nothing beter.—Adver
tisement.
A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE
Catarrh is such an Insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during
the past few years that its treatment
should be understood by all.
Science has fully proved that Catarrh
Is a constitutional disease and there
fore requires a constltution.il treat
ment. Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose
douches often drive the disease further
down the air passages and into the
lungs
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Parmint
fDouble strength). Take this home
and add to It VI pint of hot water and
4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until
dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4
times a day
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises, clog
ged nostrils should open, breathing he
come easv and mucus stop dropping
Into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic ac
tion which makes It especially effective
in cases where the blood has become
thin and weak. It Is easy to make,
tastes pleasant and costs little Every
person who Wishes to be free from this
destructive disease should give this
treatment a trial.—Advertisement.
TUFSDAY EVENING*
TO RESUME IRKI
FEU BUILDING
When Finished City Will Have Port
Office of Imposing
Dignity
Proposals for the completion of the
work on the remodelling of the Federal
Building: will be received by the custo
dian, Postmaster Frank C. Sites, Sep
tember 28.
The work was started under the first
contract over two years ago, and has
been frequently Interrupted for vari
ous reasons; tirst by the failure of the
contractor anil then by a change of
plans and delay in appropriations. Re
vision of the original plans has finally
been completed and the drawings and
specifications are now on exhibition at
the Post Office.
These drawings contemplate an im
portant change in the original plan
respecting the mall receptacle in the
Court street side. The granite coping
from the western side of the extension
in Locust street will be raised to a
lieigh of about four feet and the coping
from the corner of Locust and Court
streets will slope gradually from that
a->nroxlmate height to the level of the
present lawn near Walnut street. All
mail wagons, which will soon give
way to motor trucks in all probability,
will enter the plaza in Court street near
Walnut and will deliver the mail on a
platform near Locust, making It un
necessary to have two entrances to the
driveway, and thus avoiding conges
tion In Locust street. The raising of
the coping from its present height will
not in any way interfere with tne side
walks in Court and Locust streets.
Ornamental Hailing
An ornamental railing will extend
along the top of the coping from the
corner of the extension in Locust street
to the foot of -the slope in Court
street.
The contract, when let, will allow a
period of eighteen months for the work
to be completed, so it is certain that
Mr. Sites and his corps will not be set
tled in their new quarters for at least
a year and a half more. The postmas
ter and assistant postmaster and the
money order division will have their
offices on the second floor, while the
registry and mailing divisions will be
located on the first floor, aR they now
are. The new equipment will not be
purchased until the building is occu
pied.
Incrrn«e* Efficiency
The addition which is being erected
in Locust street will add greatly to the
beauty and appearance of the Federal
Building. There will be no doors In
Locust street, and the present entrances
In Third and Walnut streets will be
undisturbed. The efficiency of the dis
tributing process will be made greater,
and the handling of the mail will be
facilitated by the Increase in floor
space, which the addition pefmits. The
size of the workroom will be just about
doubled.
In the basement there will be addi
tional space also reserved and it will
be possible to carry a larger amount of
stock than Is at present the case. The
skylight that Is to be placed in the
center of the new structure will give
the clerks plenty of light.
In the front part of the Post Office a
new stairway will be built where the
old one formerly stood and a modern,
well equipped elevator is to be install
ed In tne center of this stairway, a lit
tle to the right of where the old ele
vator ran. When all the work is finish
ed. Harrisburg will have a Post Office
which will properly dignify the Govern
ment which it represents.
