the fact that we must SELL CHEAPER

Improvement i'm Anasfhct-
les.

DIR. Richardson describes, in the
London Lancet, two interesting
surgical cases, involving the sue
cessful employment of an an@s-
thetic which prevents pain with
out destroying consciousness, thus
supplying a most important desid-
eratum in medical practice. The
cases in question were too opera
tons performed by DIR. r. for the
removal Of cancerous tumors of the
breast, both patients being ladies.
a spray of common ether was di-
rected upon the tumor until it was
thoroughly chilled. A lighter fluid,
a compound of ether with hydride
of amyl, specific gravity 0720 de-
grees, was then applied until the
whole of the breast was frozen like
a SNOWFALL. Instead of scaIpel,
the incisions and removals were
effected by means of strong, sharp
and curved scissors-the use ofthe
latter instrument being considered
essential to the proper manage
ment Of the case DIR. Richardson
states that the operations were
and the healing speedy,
without discharge or trouble of
any kind.

You can see ON any day in the
streets Of any city. men who took
damaged. Men, too, oi good orig
inal material. who started out IN
life with generous aspirations.
Once il was said that they were
bright, promising lads; once they
looked happily to the faces OF mo-
theirs, whose daily breath was a
prayer for their purity and peace.
All! what If some OF them have
vowed their souls away 10 confid-
ing wives who silently wonder
what can be the meaning of this
change, The cold, slow, creeping
shadow that Is coming over the
house and heart.
Going to the bad I! The spell of
evil companionship; the willing
ness TO hold and use money not
honestly gained; the stealthy, se-
dnctive, plausible advance OF the
appetite for strong drink /; the
treacherous fascination for the ga
ming table; the gradual loss OF In
teresi In business and in doinss
which build man up; the rapid
weakening of all noble purposes
the decay Of manliness the reck-
lessness and blasphemy against
fate; the sullen despair of ever
breaking the chains of evil habit ;
what victories Of shame and con-
tempt, what harvests of hell have
grown from such seed as this -
Sheer, If you will, like fool at the
suggestion OF reform, morals, reli-
gion; every man knows in his bet
ter moods that all there is Of true
life is personal virtue and rectitude
of character. Going to the bad -
But there is hope. Earth and hea-
ven are full OF hands ever reaching
to help the lost man back to the
better way. All the good there is
In the universe is In sympathy
with that little goodness which in
wardly reproves and protests.

aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that ii il kept fully up to
It's high standard and il is the on
w reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all cruptions and
dandruff, and, BY IFS tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
>out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. b. its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger
In badness. it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except IN
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DEEssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
