aches, coated tongue, bitter or bad taste in morning,
" "heart-bum," belching of gas, acid risings in throat after
eating, stomach gnaw or burn, foul breath, dizzy spells,
poor or variable appetite, nausea at times and kindred
symptoms ?
If you have eny considerable nnmber of the
ebo symptoms you arc suffering from bilious
iri, torpid liver -with indigestion, or dyspepsia.
Dr. licrcea Golden Medical Discovery is made
up of the most valuable medicinal principles
inotvn to medical science for the permanent
cure of such abnormal conditions. It is a must
v efficient liver invigorator, sTorcach tonic, bowel
regulator aad nerve strengthencr.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is not a patent medicine cr secret nostrum,
full list of its ingredients being printed on its bottle-wrapper nnd attested
under oath. A glance at these will show that it contains no alcohol, or harm
. lul habit-forming drugs. It is a fluid extract made with purc, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper strength, from the roots of native American medical,
forest plants. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Props., Buffulo, N. Y.

why tea cannot become a com

the fact that help is needed to

Blind horses have been known

Home Eggs Best for Hatching
Farmers too generality save
eggs from the entire liock for
liatching. This is fatal to the
best results. The best layers,
those commencing early and
kyeping it up while -eggs are
highest, begin in spring to take
a much needed rest. About the
time when the hatching season
begins, the hens that have not
laid an egg all winter begin busi

"hatching, the resulting chick-ens
are from the poorest instead of
