the appetite, improves digestion, and
restores health and vigor; all the
organs of the bOdy are roused to
healthy action by Doctor Piercc’s
Golden Medical Discovery. More
than all, the liver—and that’s the
key to the whole system. You
have pure blood or poisonous blood,
just as your ,liver chooses. The
blood controls the health, the liver
controls the blood, the “Discovery”
controls the liver.
You can escape just about half
the ills that flesh is heir to, by
being ready for them. Brace the
system up with this medicine, which
prevents as well as cures. For all
diseases caused by a disordered liver
or impure blood—dyspepsia, bilious-
ness, the most stubborn skin, scalp
and scrofulous affections, the “ Dis-
covery” is the only remedy so cer-
tain and effective that it can be
guaranteed. If it doesn’t benefit or
cure, you have your money back.
You pay only for the good you get.

lle Tells His Wife and runin Why
He Disappeared From Boston.
TROUBLES fOVERGAME HIM.
“'hcn He Thought That He Could Bear No
More, He Left His Home and Pro-
tended to Have Committed Sul-
cidc—I'Iis Plans For the Future.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.—Arthur H. I-Iow-
land, the Boston engineer who feigned su-
icide on Dec. 30 on the steamer Pilgrim of
the Fall River line, was run down last
night by reporters and detectives. He con-
sented to tell his story. He is now in a
small town in Connecticut. Mr. Howland
is a very-sick man—in fact, he is almost
prostrated and broke. down several times:
during the conference. '
He will go at once to some resort where
he will be. free from all mental and phys-
ical anxiety and there will recuperate.
When he has again become himself, this
formerly energetic and capable business
man will return to Boston and take meas—
ures to meet all of his obligations. He
makes this explanation to his family of
the motives and causes which led to his
departure from Boston and gives it to the
public freely:
“I write you now to tell you the whole
truth about my absence. As I write this I
am in the company of the reporter and of
William F. Ellis, who found me through
the nurses, and of the stenographer whom
I employed. I have been harassed by many
things, which for months had been press-
ing me constantly, and I have been under
a. great strain.
His Friend's Advlce.
“A year ago I met an intimate friend,
with whom I had been associated closely
and with whom I had had large dealings.
He advised me to give up and go away. If
I did not, I would surely break down. He
said that if it had been him he would have
broken down long ago. I said ‘No; I will
go on; I will stay here, and will do my best
to extricate the firm of Howland &. Ellis
from its entanglements. I said I would
stay, as I owed it to my friends, and it was
my duty to my creditors to do all I could
for their interests.
“I considered every piece of property and
every feature of the future, and I figured
it out that, with no demoralizing of de-
tractin g conditions in the case, I would not
only not owe $1, but there would be a sur-
plus of $125,000 for the firm, and I should
have $50,000 for myself.
“A year ago this depression commenced
to be felt, and I was troubled. I lost the
support and co—operation of some persons
whose interests, I thought, were with ours.
They thought different, and things became
embarrassing.
“Some of our strongest supporters left
us. Many did not fulfill their contracts.
[felt it coming on from day to day, and
the prospects seemed more discouraging
than ever. I had these frequent attacks of
vertigo from clay to day, until they came
upon me every day. Creditors were clam-
oring for their mom-y, and I could not see
any way to meet one single obligation. On
one of the many Highs that I lay awake
thinking the situation over, it occurred to
me that you. my wife and family would be
better off if I were out of the way. \Vhile
it would be hard at first, it would be better
in the end, it seemed to me.
1113 View of the Case.
“You would have the homestead and the
carriages. They would be yours, and you
could get the redemption value of my life
insurance policy. That would be enough
for you to live on until I found means, -
with new plans and a better chance of car-
ing for you as I wished. As for the cred-
itors, the firm property would be theirs. I
would leave everything, and those who
have thought that they could do better
with them than I was doing could come
into possession of the properties. .
“There were no extravagances; n'ota. dol
lar has been thrown away. You, my wife,
know how none of it was spent in gam-
bling, or in speculation, or in any illegiti-
mate way. After I thought of going away
the feeling grew upon me day by day. An
account was presented to me one day, and
I could devise no means of vmeeting it.
Unfortunately, at this time one friend told
another person, who was a large creditor,
that an act of mine was illegitimate, while
I believed it was perfectly honorable.
“This only added to the strain under
whichd was laboring, and the determina-
tion to go away resolved itself in plans
for the future. I had in mind sev-
eral plans and thought when away from
you I could support myself for a time and
in a little while be able to send for you and
take care of all my old liabilities. As you
know, I got on board the steamboat, and,
as has been published in thepapers, I
took a soft but out of my bag and walked
ashore. But, as you know, all my plans
failed. I found myself sick, unable to do
a thing, and the bills for doctors, nurses
and lodging all ate into my little that I
had reserved and hoped would meet my
expenses.
The Mistake He Made.
“When the doctor told me that I would
never get well where I was, I made a mis-
take, and instead of repeating and return-
ing to you I applied to one who was a
friend of yours and mine. I wrote to Ade-
line Jones. I made her bear the burden of
secrecy, and in writing to her compelled
her to use the alias of Mrs. A. V. Crocker
and forbade her letting you know.
“In my pressing need I applied to her for
money, and she sent it to me. She has been
a good friend to me and wrote me many
cheering, sympathetic letters, all of which
I have kept and will read to you some time
when we are together. She acted nobly
and in a manner that should endear her to
you and me. I am sorry for the publicity
that this has been given and am heartily
sorry for the annoyance and overwhelming
trouble I have heaped upon her.
“A few nights ago a. great wave of re-'
pentance came over me, and I communi-
cated with you, and I felt relieved, for then
I felt that I was not entirely alone. Some
of the creditors think, I have heard it
said, that I was trying to defraud them.
This is not true. Did I not leave them
cVerything? I did not take a thing with
me. You can get the redemption value of
my insurance policy, and that will help
you some. I hope you will all be well,-
and I am going away somewhere Where I
can find rest from all my cares, and then I
will return to Boston to take charge of
my business again.”

Fflow to Cure La Grippe.
About a. year ago I took a violentiat-
tack of la grippe. I coughed day and
night for about six weeks; my wife
suggested that I try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, At first I could see no
difference, but still kept taking it, and
soon found that it was what I needed.
If I got no relief from one dose I took
another, and it was only a few days
until I was free from the cough. I
think people in general ought to know
the value of this remedy, and I take
pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I
have received from it. Madison Mus-
tard, Otway, Ohio. 25 and 50 cent bot-
,tles for sale by Gregory & 00., drug-
