Attendant on this fire were other scencs unprecedented in the fire of this city. In these bulldings, recorded on the insurance com- books as the oldest in the financial section of the city, were thou- ds of dollars in money. It was in tin boxes, in drawers and lying !n n sight in the offices of the cashiers. ‘As quickly es possible it was bundled into safes and into cash boxes and taken into the streets.

Few, if any, of these clerks and aten-|;, agraphers stopped to save anything, and the street was full of ery: i ind pele-faccil men. The Finpire Building, the sky-scraper to the nor the fire, was emptied by the fire.

Securities to the value of millions were thus exposed, and the police protection being insufficient men armed with pistols and rifles were placed | on guard, Brokers, driven from their offices, roosted on top of piles of | their effects, while armed men patrolled along the curb, keeping close watch | on all who approached.

T is a fact that our cities are being over-crowded with young men CITY LIFE COMPARED. I coming from the country to ear their livelihood in the cities. Ou! cities are growing so rapidly iat only about one-half of our population is now living in the country. It is a ereat crime, says Dr, R, V. Pierce, speaking of the wrong of shutting men and women up in factories and forcing them into occupations which keep them in- doors at all times. There is plenty of land and opportunity in the country, anda better chance for making money for the ordinary brain and body, sufti- cient to give every human being a liveli hood anda longer life. The farm yle an income greater than almost any other industrial enterprise, baing about 28 per cent. on invested capital, and the income, of the average farms in the West for 1903 was about 30 per cent. greater than revious years. For years our people have been wandering away from nature. The time has now come when people in the cities are looking with longing eyes to a life in the country. The suburbs and rural districts about our great cities are fast filling up; trolley lines, the bi- cycle and automobile are helping in this People are learning that the fresh air sunshine and exercise is what sustains life and makes it wholesome and adds years to our existence. There is also tonic value in cold air, for heat is ener- vating. The city man who works indoors in a stifling atmosphere, filled with the germs of consumption and many cther diseases,.or who is compelled to ride in badly ventilated: street cars, filled with the germs of pneumonia, grip, typhoid, who eats lunches at race-horse speed, is not as happy as a rule as a man livin) closer to nature in the country, in th fresh air, and a chance to be close to nature in the woods and fields, At the same time, the farmer wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air. work on the farm would tire many a trained athlete. Why does not the far- mer treat his own body as he treats the! land he cultivates? He puts back in phosphate what he takes out in crops, or | the land would grow poor. The farmer should put back into his body the vital elements exhausted by labor, If he does not, he will soon complain of _ “poor health.” Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital- | izing power.

Cleanse the stomach and you have pure blood, The far- reaching action of Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1s due to Its effect on the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases that begin In the stomach are cured through the stomach. There is a big elevator in the human body which adjusts the supply and de- mand of food materials, All the blood that comes from the stomach and bowels during the digestion of a meal passes first through the liver and certain food matter is extracted, The starches, sugars and fats are stored up by the liver and issued to the system as needed by the tissues, and certain polsonous matters of the food are taken out end gotten.rid of by the bile, If the liver becomes torpid or diseased, all these functions are in- terfered with. Poisonous matters are thrown back into the blood, eaueae headache, bowel irregularities, an often severe illness, as jaundice, wherein these liver poisons are so abundant as to give a yellow color to the skin. A bilious spell {s simply the result of an effort made by the liver to catch up when over- worked and exhausted, The "Dis- covery" Is a liver regulator and rich ilood maker unsurpassed. “L write to tell you of the great benefit d from the use of Dr. Pierce's ¢ Medical Discovery,” writes Mr. B.
