Habit-forming Medicines. ! I fj I U I K MM L" A h
IIHLIILUI II1U unut
Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent meuicinus uyu
tiinincr inlnrious inirredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this pubiioity nas ceriaimv
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, It has, in a
, nnskirr.i,hlft mRasuro. resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus
pected of, containing the injurious ingre
dients complained or. uecognizing vnis
fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, or iiunaio,
N. Y., "took time by tho forelock," as it
were, and published broadcast all tho
inn-rndipnfs of which hfs TODular medi
cines are composed. Thus he has com
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now of known composition. Fur-
' thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em
ploys chemically pure, triple - refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
It enhances the curative action of the
Goldftn Seal root. Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery." in all bron
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of 2feW York; Bartholow, of Jeffer
son Medical College. Phila.; Scudder, of
Cincinnati ; Ellingwood. of Chicago ;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
verj hest ingredients that Dr. Pierce
... could have chosen to make up his fa-
'1 mous "Discovery" for the cure of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all
Its various forms wherever located.

MYSTERY IN HIS DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Unable to Decide How
Young Man Was Killed.
Harrisburg, Va., Aug. 22. A con
ner's jury, which has been investigat
ing the death of Peter Spiker, who was
found mortaly wounded on the Balti
more and Ohio tracks near Cedar
Creek, Frederick county, has failed to
unearth any evidence which might lead
to an explanation of the tragedy.
; Spiker was found beside the track
unconscious several days ago, and died
Saturday night. He never recovered
consciousness. Marks of blows were
found on his head which the physi
cians said could not have been caused
by the train striking him.
It is rumored that Spiker had had
trouble over a girl with some men.
Spiker was twenty-four years old and
came from Tom's Creek, Shenandoah
county.

builders of the clock, were informed
that it had lost a minute.
It was the chief item of local in
terest. Every one said that the poor
clock was suffering from the heat,
and that the pendulum had got weary
oi wagging tnrougn tne tropical
hours, but the real cause was given
by Mr. Dent.
"When we heard of the unusual oc
currence," he said, "we sent down a
skilled workman to ascertain the
cause. He found that the clock was
correct, but that the workmen had
been changing the lamps in the clock
tower and in so doing they must
have interfered with the dial works
and so checked the progress of the
clock. At 2 o'clock everything was
in order again."
,"Big Ben" is the largest striking
clock in the . world. The minute
hands are fourteen feet long and
weigh two hundred 'weight each, the
pendulum is thirteen feet long, and
the bob weight four hundredweight.

Storm Resembling Cloudburst Does
Much Damage In West Virginia.
Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 22.
Southern West Virginia was visited
late this afternoon by one of the hea
viest rains in years. At many points
the storm was in the nature of a
cloudburst, and great damage was
done. The bridge on the Guyandotte
Valley Railway, near West Hamlin,
was washed away, while a trestle on
the Camden Interstate Electric Line
was , so badly twisted by the rushing
torrent that travel was suspended. Re
ports of damage come from many sec
tions. Wrecking trains have been sent
out over the Guyandotte Valley road
to make repairs at various points.
In many instances fields of growing
crops have been washed away, and the
loss to the farmers in the Twelve Pole
and Guyandotte Valleys will be enor
mous. Guayandotte river, rose five feet
in less than an hour at Hamlin. ...
