Person of romantic temperament bare discovered that the best place io New York from which to swatch the moon rising: In the east Is tbe porch of General Granfa tomb. Standing, as it does, away from all other buildings, at the highest part of the Riverside drive, with the beautiful Hudson river flowing softly along n hundred feet be low, tbe noble edifice In which lies the herd Is as full of poetical charm as tbe Alhambra Itself. ' As the moon rises one, can see the rays touching column after column of the mausoleum, throw ing Into deeper , shadow the recesses and giving the whole building an ethe real aspect which is strikingly beauti ful. Young couples who are strolling along the drive make it a point to go up to the tomb to watch the moon rise, and the Idea Is becoming so popular that tbe charm of solitude at least has certainly departed.

There's many a big, healthy looking man who is yweak in the lungs. Probably half or ,two-thirds of his lune surface barely Knows tne contact ot oxygen, lie s tne Jcind of man, who, when a cough attacks him, goes- galloping down the road toward consumption. Many such a man has found strength and healing for weak lungs and tissues lacerated by coughing and drained by hemorrhages, in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. The healing power of this medi cine in pulmonary diseases seems . little short of marvelous at times, so extreme are the conditions which it cures. The "Discovery" contains no alcohol, and no naicoucs. -s.-.i-y. "When I started to take your 'Golden Med ical Discovery,' writes Mr. A. P. Novotny, of New York, N. Y., Box 1417. I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned tne and warned me con cerning it. I was losing; weight rapidly, was very pale and had no-appetite, whatever. Now my condition is changed entirely. I do not cough at all, have gained eight, pounds in weight, have recovered my healthy color, and my appetite is enormous. I can recommend your medicine to everybody" who may be in need of the same, as it is a sure cure." Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation. t&'Orx Tuekahoe.
