from a physical
standpoint. He maybe a moral and a men
tal giant, but the flesh of ill health is weak,
and he is probably a physical coward. It is
not in nature for a sickly man to be a brave
man. His spirit may be willing but his
body is weak. That is the man's own fault.
Any man can be healthy who will pay a lit
tle common sense attention to his health
when he has it, and when he gets a little
out of take the right remedy. Many
of the diseases that afflict mankind are
traceable directly to indigestion, torpidity
of the liver and impurities in the blood.
Dr. Pierce’tr Golden Medical Discovery is
the greatest mediciae for disorders of this
nature. It strengthens a weak stomach,
corrects all disorders of the digestion, gives
edge to the appetite, invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
up and invigorates the nerves. It searches
out disease germs, kills them and carries
them oat of the system. It is the great
blood-maker, flesh-builder and nerve-tonic
and restorative. It makes strong, healthy
men out of weak, sickly invalids. Medi
cine dealers sell it and no honest dealer will
urge a substitute upon you.

In view of the recent trouble
a few days since at Knoxville
and the riot Wednesday night

seems amply justified. Without
