IT YOw WANT To rNow WHAT AILS YOU the U. S. mail will bring you the best medical advice for only the cost of writing materials and stamps. Mary people owe their present go. bealth to the fact that they consulted Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all possible in formation about their condition, symptoms, etc., and received in return good medical advice which cost them nothing: Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. V. Dr Piercmby no ~egans confines himself to prescribing his we'llknown medicines He tells you in the most common-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do, what line of treatment should be followed out in your particular case, and if your case does not indicate the need for this proprie tary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best possible method of improving your health. Dr Pierce treats many chronic cases at a distance, through the mail and all you have to do is to write him your symptoms. Mrs John Burge, of Mohr, West Va., writes 5When I began taking your medicine I was snufering from female weakness which had rpn u. for live years. Took three bottles of PFavor Ite Prescription,' three of'.Golden Medical Dis eovery' and two vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets and have been 'entirely cured. Before I began taking your medicine it seemed to me I would. never see another well day, but since then have enjoyed the best of health and happiness.

I thnk yoar meii. macs aer te te at in the waorkL THE OFFICE BOY WANTS TO KNOW If you can imagine what old "Thirty Cents" is gassing about? Why he doesn't'let somebody else in on the secret? What's the fun in writing a lot of stuff that nobody can understand? Where in the world he learned to think that he knew how to push a pencil? If he hadn't better go back and get a fresh start? What is your opinion of a fellow who says one thing one week and who declares the next week that he said an other thing? If there isn't a world of difference between "Vive la Galere" and "Vogue E la Galere"? If anybody knows this better than s the man who said "Vive" when he should have said "Vogue"? f Why he doesn't wait until he gets a his French exercises back from the correspondence school before he sticks I them in print? i If this course wouldn't save him a great deal. of embarrassment and his 4 legion of readers much brain-fag? d If you've struck anybody yet that can tell what the miniature Greeley is b spieling about when he flies off into b crapaud? Whether it isn't just as hard to v catch the drift of his meaning when ft he is blowing-off in English? Why he doesn't annex a few sen- I tences in one or two other outlandish ti lingoes and complete the general misti ness of his communications? h If you think that he really believes ft he is talking intelligibly when he puts, his wisdom mill to work and grinds ci out a string of words that make about g as much sense as a Russian dictionary on a jag? k If he mustn't have been left at the c4 post when the book learning was handed around? rf If Mississippi street isn't becoming zI strenuous right? What's the matter with the front si street coons that they require such fre- st quent hide-tanning? If the little Jeffries-Munroe affair pi out at San Francisco wouldn't be tame fe compared to the Noel-Nigger contest of the other day? hi What rules they were scrapping m under, anyway? If it wasn't a case of hit and run- pc with Noel doing the hitting and ihe ac Nig attending to the running end of the proposition? M What decision the referee handed th down? If it's true he arrived at the con clusion that Noel had violated the laws of neutrality by attacking the rep t resentative of a foreign race in the harbor of a disinterested onlooker? If the point as to whether Noel and the Nig had the right to hold their little mill in the other fellow's buggy wasn't a vexing one for a time? If you aren't of the opinion that the point was well taken? Whether the other fellow's query as to when Noel had come ip possession of Mississippi street wasn't a poser? If there is any truth in the report that Joe Lafargue, Grandpa Spies and Rocks Foley have been requested to act as arbitrators in settling the question of the alleged breach of neutrality? Why the Blue Store merchant was excluded from the aforesaid board? If it was because he is looked upon as an interested party? If you've heard of the new specialty artist who does stunts around Phoenix opera house? Why it is he prefers not to give publicity to his performances? If it isn't a shame for him to warble so sweetly for so small an audience? How would you like to have a pic ture of the mocking-bird? If the resemblance between it and a certain embryonic newspaper man wduldn't-be startling? If it has occurred to you that "XXX," "Nuf Sed" and "Vive la Galere" are one and the same, amen? How it happens that the originator of sobriquets hasn't discovered a new nom for so long a time? If it is because the appellation of "Thirty Cents" fits him so well? What you think of the local political situation? If it isn't a sure fact that some of the thinks thunked by some" of the local politicians would be barred from the mails? Wouldn't you like to hear the gentle man-from St. James relieve himself of a few remarks? If it mightn't aJso be interesting to learn how the gentleman from down the bayou feels about the matter? If the two gentlemen from Donald sonville have any particular kick coming? What in the world the ridiculously little Jimcrack would fill ip space with were it not for the edifying ebullitions of "Thirty Cents"? If the puzzle column on the first page wouldn't have to be padded with c six-point slugs should The Boy de cide to discontinue the discussion? If yop know that "vogue la galere" means I'to hell and damnation with it"? If tht isn't about The Boy's senti- I ments concerning the whole matter? t When the new school board is going to organize? When Louisiana Square is going to f be redeemed from frogism?-=and 2 Wher} the roadway under the T. t and P. culvert is going to befished up ri Ifromtea sea of mud whese et now re-:' po ofs?
