A I.AKCK ESTATE.
A broad land is this in which we live,
dotted so thickly with thrifty cities;
towns and villages. Amid them all,
with ever-increasing popularity and
helpfulness, is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery, giving hope and cheer
where there is disease and despair.
Wherever there is humanity there is
suffering-; wherever there is suffering
there is the nest neid ior this greatest
American remedy. Consumption (which
is lung scrofula) yields to it, if employee
in tile early stages of the disease; chron
ic nasal catarrh yields to it; kidney and
liver diseases yield to it. If you want
the best known remedy for all diseases
of the blood, ask for I)r. Pierce’s Golden
Medical discovery, and take no other.
It is guaranteed to cure in all cases of
diseases for which it is recommended, or
money refunded.

“I am having a fine business,”
said Manager Charlie Milam, of the
opera house, last Monday. “I play
ed the Methodists last week and
will play the Presbyterians this
week. I have a letter here from
the illustrious Smith family of
Rome wanting to play on the 26th
inst., and 1 think they would do
very well here If all the Smiths in
town and vicinity would patronize
them. I have also made an addi

The Lady Godiva must have had ex
ceptionally long hair since it completely
concealed her lovely person. Since
Ayer’s Hair Vigor came Into use such
examples are not so rare as formerly.
It not only promotes the growth of the
hair, but gives it a rich, silken texture.
Whatever tends to increase usefulness,
by banishing pain and suffering, will
certainly secure notice and approval.
