On the 26th of last May the horse was stolen from Mr. Robert H. Shipley, who resides at Fair Haven, Anne Arundel county. Mr. Shipley traced the animal as far as Washington, and then lost sight of it. A young man in this village, who formerly lived in Anne Arundel coun- ty, saw the horse here about a week ugo and recognized it as the property of Mr. Shipley. He made known his discovery to Mr. Shipley, and the latter came here end placed the matter in the hands of Justice Carr. The magistrate, after investigating the case, found that the animal had been left at a livery stable in Washington and offered to the proprietor for a very low fig- ure. The horse was not purchased, neither was it called for, and the proprietor of the stable, suspecting something wrong, re- ported the affair to the police authorities. He afterward disposed of the a al to a gentleman in this village upon the condition that he would give it up when ealled for. Justice Carr, who is also 4 former resident of Anne Arundel county, saw the horse two days ago in the possession of the man who had procured it from the livery stable, rec- ognized it as belonging to Mr. Shipley and turned it over to its rightful owner yester- day, after the latter had proved it to be his property and satisfied its temporary pos- sessor on that point.

THE JAPANESE AND MODERN WARFARE, PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK. ERTAINLY THE JAPAN- ese, through their late war, taught the nations of the world that ‘‘eter- nal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Had they permitted themselves to shut their eyes to mod- ern civilization and the Improvements in modern warfare and modern mil- itary training, their little island might have been everrun by hordes of Chinese soldiery, bringing their barbaric customs and laws, as well as filth and disease. All people should bear well in mind that it is best to follow the maxim—“in peace prepare for war"’—by keeping an army and navy in activity—daily practice with firearms and mod- ern canncn—constant drilis and mock battles. What ccncerns our American people more than the fear of other nations is the dread of Invasion from infectious diseases. It means fight or die for all of us.

Everybody that saw him sald be would die. “His parents got medicine from six different doctors, but the child still got worse. Finally Mr. Whitten inquired for the best blood medicine at the drug store, and the druggist, being an hon- est man, said that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the best of all. A single bottle cured the child, sound and well, but he was given three more bottles to prevent ‘any return of the diseese. His cure was effected cyer four years ago, and the boy is sti ct health. Hiis father says: ***Gclden Medical Discovery’ does not express half its value.” Several doctors had pronounced the case of Mr. J. E. Connor of Derby, Lucas county, Tor consumption. He bad taken treatment for about # year, and with no particular benefit. He then quit the doctors, and commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. He took six bottles of the “Discovery” and five of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasunt Pellets, when he Was fully restored to good health. “For two years my little boy suffered with lung disease,” writes Mrs. Martha Roche of Proctor, Morgan county, Mo. “He first took the grip; sec- ond, intermittent fever; third, lunz disease.

If there is a scrofulous condition of the system, catarrh or brenchitis, the germs are sure to uttack the weak points.

It has been held that consumption is hereditary, and the fact that oue member of a family had died with consumption was censidered a sure sign that others of that family could not escape it. ‘This 1s partly true and partly untzue. A man with weak lurgs {8 Mkely to transinit that weakness to his cbitdren. But there is no reason in the world why the weakness should be allowed to develop. There fs no reason why the lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs predispose a child to con- sumption. ‘They provide a jlace for germs to set- tle. That is all that Js necessary.

Ninety-elght per cent of all cases of consum tion can he completcly and permanently cured. ‘There is no doubt abont it. The statement is not made reckkssly, but after of thousands has made it an indisputable fact. Consumption is rot a disease of the lungs. It Is a disease of the blood, which, in weak-lunged people, manifests itself by the formation of tuber- cles in the lungs and the wasting away of lung- tissue. The cure of consumption {s simple. It consisis in the administration of a medicine that will assist the lungs iu throwing off tuberculous matter, ard that will purify and enrich the blood ‘80 that this refuse matter will"he replaced by strong, healthy tissue. ‘That sounds like a very simple operation, ‘und ret consumption bailed the combined tedical skill of the whole world for hundreds of years. Consumption was considered incurable until the advent of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This great remedy is the most wonderful blood purifier and strengthencr that the world has ever known. It is the result of years of study and experiment by a scientific hysictan, and has been tested in every way by fim’ for ‘over thirty years. It has an unbroken record of success. It cures a great variety of dis- cases, because almost all diseases have their origin and support in impurity and weakness of the blood. As long as a man’s blood is rich and pure be is in no danger from disease. The blood is the me- dium through which food is carried from the di- gestive system to all of the tissues of the body. f it carries impure things, or an insufficient quantity of good things, trouble will ensue. There is nothing about that so very bard to understand. It is perfectly plain and natural and rational The “Golden Medical Discovery” puts the digestive system Jn perfect order and thereby purifies enriches the blood, and so puts the whole body into perfect tune. ‘The people who take it find them- selves fecling better right away. Find their _ap- petite better. Find themselves stronger. Find that they are getting fleshy. Those who care to now more about it, and to know all of the great y learn them from Dr. Plerce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. This great book centains the reproduced photographs, with full ames and addresses, of scores of people who have been cured of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, chronie_nasal catarrh and kindred maladies by the use of Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. “When I was about elght years of age,” writes Miss Lucy Klocffler of Armada, Macomb county, Mich., “I had inflammation of the lungs, and from that time up I was sick nearly all the time and had a doctor nearly all the ume. My lungs were so weak and I would take cold so easly and it would go right 10 my longs. I seemed t0 be get: ting worse all the time; I would sometimes raise blood and matter. There was pain in my lungs neariy all the time; there was a tickling in my throat and my throat was also studded with ulcers; there was hoarseness and partial suppression of voice, thickness in the chest and difficulty of breathing. Sometimes I would have sharp, dart- ing pains throngh my. lungs and it would seem as if the cords in my neck and collar bone were swelled—{t would seem to choke me. My head and ears seemed to be swelled, they secmed so full. I doctored with one of our best physicians and he did all he could for me; treated my throst every day for three weeks, and at last sald he com not help me and just prescribed cod liver oll for me, and told my mother that I could not lve longer’ than three months. I also had night aweats. I kept getting weaker every day, when at last a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1 thought there was no use, no more help for me, as con- sumption was in our family; my father and also a sister died with It, but, then azain I thought T would try the “Discovers,’ and after taking the first bottle T seemed to feel better, | My appetite was better, and I kept right on taking it, with a ‘Pellet’ once in a while, until I felt real well. Before taking it I weighed one hundred and wands; after taking it one hundred and th F'have not bad a cough this winter. “Last Deginning the first of April, I worked ip the bakery here, doing nearly all’ of the baking, be- sides other work, until the latter part of Decem- ber, which made’ nine months’ steady labor. Be- fore taking your ‘Discovery’ I could not do any- thirg, not able to sit up at times. People were surprised at my getting well and did not see how I could work ¢o hard, but I told them what your great medicine had done for me. Even the doc- tor who kad doctored me for years says it’s a mystery to him... He could hardly belleve it, but I told him how I bad taken your medicine, and I recommend it wherever I go and always’ will. I am twenty-three years of age now and feel real well.”” “Dr. Plerce’s Golden Medical Discovery has do mere for me than all the doctors I ever had,” writes Miss A. Emilla Christofferson of 423 East 4th street, Jamestown, N, Y. “I bave been troubled with salt rheum from infancy, and was doctoring every year, more cr less; nothing seemed to help me until a friend recommended your ‘Dis- covery.’ I tock six bottles and have never seen any sign of the disease since; this was a year ago. I have recem:mended your medicine to several of my friends, ard can truthfully say that it is an excellent blood purifier.” ‘The experience of Mr. John Hey of 627 Linwood street, Camden, N. J., is worthy of note. Mr. Hey verites way back in 1876 I first tried your ren-edies and found them zood. I also bought a copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad- viser, and I would not part with ft at any price it I conld not get another, for the sensible advice therein, with the use of your different has warded off many a case of sickness, and I verily believe has saved life several times.
