A horse in the lead pulls in vain when
the wheel horse lays back in the breeching
A man’s body is a good deal like a team of
horses, and must work harmoniously. The
head may want to work, and strive ever so
hard to work, but if the body is balky and
sick the head will make no progress.
The man who is out of condition physical
ly may as well give up trying to wort men
tally. He will not be able to do good work,
or satisfactory work, and in the endeavor to
do so will only do himself further harm.
The reason that men have nervous exhaus
tion and prostration is that they try to work
the brain when the body is balky. The
right thing for a man to do when he finds
he is out of sorts physically is to give the
mind a little rest, and promptly resort to
the right remedy for his physical ailments.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is
the best of all medicines for a balky body.
When the head aches, the appetite is poor,
the sleep is restless, the nerves are shaky
*nd both bpdy and brain suffer from dull
ness and lassitude, it is time to resort to
this great remedy. It restores the appetite,
corrects all disorders of the digestion,
‘hnakes assimilation perfect, invigorates the
liver and purifies and nourishes the blood.
It is the great blood-maker and flesh
builder. It is the best of nerve tonics and
restoratives. It makes both body and brain
alert and active. Medicine dealers have
nothing "just as good.”
.“J su . ffere< i f*” B years with an ulcer and the
doctor here could not do me any good," writes
Mr. John Jenkins, of Haywood. Madison Co..
**• " 1 took twelve bottles of Dr Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and I. am well. I
would have been in my grave if it had not been
for your medicine.”
Ik T>- For cons tipation and indigestion, Dr.
■ Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the most nat
r nral and perfect cure ever devised. They
act gently but surely, and effect a bcrrna
nent cure.

His Honor, Henry,
while elated with a victory that

a good judge—of law.

Admiral Dewey, it is report

, over and most of Americans
thoroughly recognize that fact,
but one thing still remains to
be done by the people of the
United States before the war
and the train of events that re
sulted from it is complete.
Admiral Dewey, the man
who threw the whole United
States into each a tremor of ju
bilation by his vic’ory over the
Spanish fleet in Manila Bay,
May 1, must be properly J: wel
comed back to his native laud.

people of the United States
woald prefer, but whatever
method is finally adopted the
people of the United States
want a direct share in it.
The people of the United
States are willing to have Dew

A HEROINE AND PATRIOT.
Because her family had no
son to send as a volunteer in
their country’s war with Spain,
Miss Reubena Hyde Walworth
of New York volunteered to
•
serve as ar army hospital nurse.
It would not have done, she
thought, for folks of her blood
to be unrepresented when Uaele
Sana needed help in war times.
Her paternal grandfather had
fought in the war of 1812. Her
maternal grandfather served in
the Mexican war and was killed
at the battle of Buena Vista. An
uncle was crippled for life in
the civil war.
Miss Walworth’s services as a
nurse were accepted by the gov
ernment. She was first sent to
Fortress Monroe'hospital, whore
she distinguished herself by her
untiring devotion to tho sick
and wounded soldiers. From
there sho went to ghastly Camp
Wikoff, on Montauk Point. Af
ter some weeks of splendid ser
vice in that awful place, sho
contracted typhoid fever and
was hurried to her home in New
York, where she died in her
mothers arms.
This girl was a heroine of the
noblest type, and a patriot of the
purest description. She stands
for a fine nrmn.- 1 - . . , .
..uuunai life—the principle of
devotion to flag and country
which forms so proud a part of
the records of the best American
families. She did more than
•imply maintain the record of
her own family. She illumined
it with a new glory that will
never fade.—St, Louis Republic.
