NATURE'S ESSENCE.--Extracted From Forest Plants.
Nature'*, laws are perfect, but disease follows if these laws are not obeyed.
Go straight to nature for the cure, to the forest; there are mysteries here that we
can fathom for you. Take the bark of the wild-cherry tree, the root of mandrake,
stone, Oregon grape root, queen's root, bloodroot and golden seal, make a scien
tific, non-alcoholic extract of them with just the right proportions and you have
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It took Dr. Fierce, with the assistance of two learned chemists, eight year* of
hard work experimenting to make this pure glycerip extract and alterative of the
greatest efficiency and without the use of a particle of alcohol.
tJust the sort of remedy you need to make rich, ted
blood, and cure that lassitude and feeling of nerve exhaustion.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery bears the stamp of
PUBLIC APPROVAL and has sold more largely in the past forty
years than any other blood purifier and stomach tonic.
"Some time ago I rot out of health—my stomach seemed to be the
seat af the writes MR. Enu WILLIAMS, of BeUavSfa, Kans.
"I commenced to doctor with all the doctors at home as as with
other specialists on stomach and digestive organs. None seemed to do
any good—in fact, most of the medicines did me harm. Finally. I wrote
to "Dr. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y., who replied, stating that I had liver com
plaint with indigestion and constipation, and advised Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets.'
"The '-Dtocovery' and 'Pellets,' have "pot me on my feet again'—
seemed to be just v/liat I needed. 1 could not have recovered without them."

SHOT TO DEATH BY .
MOB IN CHARLOTTE
Charlotte, Aug. 26. — "That Joe
McNeely. deceased, came to his death
by pistol shot wounds iu the hands of
a mob unknown to *he jury" was the
verdict given this afternoon by the cor
oner's jury at the inquest held over
the body of Joe McNeely, who met
death at an early hour this morning at
the hands of a mob composed of some
35 persons.
The negro was taken from the negro
hospital at 2*30 o'clock, dragged into
the street and his body riddled with
bullets. He lived, however, after be
ing carried to the police station until 5
o'clock. The members of the mob
wore masks and none of them, it is
said by the officers who were guarding
the negro, could be identified.
At a special session of the board of
aldern>en today a reward was offered by
the city of Charlotte of SI,OOO for each
and every member of the mob.
The crime for which McNeely for
feited his life was the shooting of Po
liceman Wilson on the streets of this
city last Friday. McNeely alleged to
be drunk on cocaine was shooting his
pistol in the street and when the offi
cer appeared on the scene to arrest
him, he shot Wilson from the motor
cycle he was riding. Wilson in turn
shot the negro and this accounts for
his being in the hospital instead of in
prison. Wilson is still in a precarious
condition, but unless complications set
in it is believed he will recover.
