He does his work more quie ‘ty and effectively than the old-fash- ioned town watchman. It is thus that in all the walks of life and in all occupations, times change and knowl- edge and efficiency increase, In this re- spect medical science has kept pace with the advance in other lines. Physicians and chemists have grown rapidly more skillful. There are medicinal preparations now-a- days that cur eases that were a few years ago considered absolutely incurable, The final triumph in this respect is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It was first given to the world thirty years ago, and has stood the test ever since that tme. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred affections. Thousands who were hopeless sufferers, and had been given up by the a en ee aalenie: have testified to its marvelous merits It is the great blood-maker and 1-builder.

Dargan, eagle-eVed to pouitiee on any unguarding point, pressed home. “Why, I have been here nearly an hour,” cried Beaton, at last looking at his watch, “and it is such a fine day. My time is nearly up.
