a Leprosy in New York. Dr. A. D. Ashmead, of New York, who fsa recognized authority on leprosy, says there are 100 well de- fined cases of the disease in this city and thatamong them is a widely kiiown member of the “400.” The clan will not reveal theidentity | Wethe patient. This revelation came get ina conversation regarding a uéw leper colony that has been es- iblighed in this city, but the mem- of fashionable society referred to notin the colony. The city abol- d sucha colony several years ago, but within the last two years a Dew one was established on Black- well’s island.

Baer, 83 years old, and Mise Myrall Gregg, 23, were married at the home of the bride’s parents here last week and'-will make their home at this place. The groom {s a native of Lancast- er county, Pennsylvania, but has re- aided in Missouri since 1853. He wae a freighter in his younger days and made eleven trips from Atchi- eon to California during the rush to the gold fields in the ’40s. .| His father, David Baer, lived to the age of 111 years and bis mother lived to be 99 years and 6 monthe oldj Both were natives of Bremen, G > Many a hard working young woman ds her noon hour in an endeavor to get a little rest to carry her through the remaining hours of the day. She is weak and weary, but she cannot give up the occupation which supports her. She must go back to the office and the type writer, to the store and its duties, with tiresome customers to wait on and ex- acting employers to please. For people who are weak and run down there is no medicine so valuable as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Many diseases in organs remote from the stomach have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs, When the stomach is “weak” there is a failure to properly digest and assimilate the food which is eaten. Hence the whole body, and each organ of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so that as-a consequence of “weak ” stom- ach, there may be “ weak” lungs, “ weak” heart, “weak” or torpid liver, “weak” nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, ‘Golden Medical Discov- ery” enables the assimilation of the nutriment necessary for the requirements of a healthy body. It increases the ac- tivity of the beget J eee and AW. go increases the supply of blood which is the vital fluid of the body.
