A Slost Valuable Agent.
The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce’s
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. It also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. It adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root. Stone
root and Queen’s root, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery” in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con
sumption. there can be no doubt that gly
cerine acts as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queen’s root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. Of course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except in itsearlier
stages. It will cure very severe, obsti
nate. hang-on, chronic coughs, bronchial
and laryngeal troubles, and chronic sore
throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs
it is not so effective. It is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those of long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvelous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly
cerine:
" In dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose.
Holding a fixed quantity of the peroxide of
hydrogen in solution, it is one of the best
manufactured products of the present time in
its action upon enfeebled, disordered stom
achs, especially if there is ulceration or ca
tarrhal gastritis (catarrhal inflammation of
stomach), it is a most efficient preparation.
Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis
(heartburn) and excessive gastric (stomach)
acidity.”
"Golden Medical Discovery” enriches and
purifies the blood curing blotches, pimples,
eruptions, scrofulous swellings and old sores,
or ulcers.

Jr., of Washington, for many years

tence of the federal court In the fa

ment each and a fine aggregating

Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs,
“Several years since my lungs were
so badly affected that I had many
hemorrhages,” writes A. M. Ake, of
Wood, Ind. “I took treatment with sev
eral physicians without any benefit. 1
then started to take Foley’s Honey and
Tar, and my lungs are now as sound as
a bullet. I recommend it in advanced
stages of lung trouble.” Foley’s Honey
and Tar stops the cough and heals the

FfLED BUSH NOT GUILTY.
Atlanta Man Charged with Sending
Bomb Is Acquitted.
Atlanta, June 1. —'After being out
one hour and ten minutes, the jury
brought in a verdict Friday afternoon
of not guilty in the case of Fred Bush,
charged with sending an interna.] ma
chine to the McCarthy home, at 447
East Georgia avenue, on the night of
May 8.
Since a jury of twelve men have
declared that Fred Bush is not guilty
of sending a deadly dynamite bomb
to the McCarthy home, the question
is being asked if the detectives will
now try to find some other person who
may be suspected of the crime. The
verdict so far as the jury is concern
ed, is paramount to declaring that
some other person than Bus;h sent
the bomb. If so, who was it?.
