The great reason why physicians do not cure Con
sumption is, they try 10 do too much; they give
medicine 10 stop the cough. to stop the chiiis, to
stop night sweats hetic fever. and by so doing they
derange the whole digestive powers, locking up the
secretons, and eventually the patient sinks and dies

They are all three to be taken at the same time.
They cleanse the stomach relax the liver and put ii

digests and makes good blood the patient begins
TO grow in flesh the diseased matter ripens in the
lunes and the patient outgrows disease and gets
well. This is the only way to cure Consumption.

Philadelphia owes his uHrivalled success in the
treatment Of Pulmonary Consumption. The Pull

. The Lava Beds.

Jesse Applegate, writing to the
Bulletin, thus graphically describes the
lava beds in the Modoc country: The
stronghold of the Modoc Indians is a
"pedregal of the most extensive and
elaborate description; it occupies, with
but few intervals, nearly 100 square
miles. If you can imagine smooth,
solid sheet of granite, ten miles square,
and 500 feet thick, covering resistless
mines of gunpoWder, scattered at irreg-
ular intervals under it; that these mines
are exploded simultaneously, lend
ing the whole field into rectangular
masses, from the size of match box
to that of a church, heaping these
masses high in some places, and leaving
deep chasm in others. Following the
explosion, the whole thing is placed in
one of Vulcan's crucibles and heated
up to point, when the whole begins
to fuse and run together, and then suf-
fered to cool. The roughness of the
remains as the explosion left it, while
all below is honey -combed by the
cracks and crevices caused by the cool
ing of the melted rock. An Indian
can, from the top of one of these stone
pyramids, shoot man without exposing
even SO much as an inch square of him
self. He can, without undue haste, load
and shoot common le-loading
rife ten times before man can scramble
over the rocks and chasms between the
slain and the slayer. If, at this terrible
expense of life, force dislodges him
from cover, he has only to drop into and
follow some subterranean passage with
which he is familiar, to gain another
ambush from whence it will cost ten
more lives to dislodge him; and so on
Gd i9etiaitNm.
