Common Sense Medical Adviser
A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and a half pounds of bile, which con-
tains great amount of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or cOngested, it fails to eliminate this
vast amount of noxiOus substance, which,
therefore, remains to poison the blood, and
be conveyed to every part of the system.
What mast be the condition of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each day
two and half pounds of poison? Nature
tries to work off this poison through the
channels and Organs--the kidneys, lungs,
skin, ETC., but these organs become Overtaxed
in performing this labor in addition to their
natural functions, and cannot long with
stand the pressure, but becomes variously
diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to 1t
from the heart, and it fails to perform its
Office healthily. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dullness, headache,
incapacity to keep the mind on any subject,
impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or
nervous feelings, gloomy fOrebodings, and
irritability of temper. The blood itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the
surface of the skin, it is so irritating and

spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions,
sores, boiles, carbuncles, and scrofulous tu-
mors. The stomach, bowels, and other Or
gans, cannot escape becoming affected, sooner
or later, and we have, as the result, costiye-
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrh@a.
Other symptoms are common, as bitter or
bad taste in mouth, internal heat, palpita-
ton, teasing cough, unsteady appetite,
choking sensation in throat, bloating of
stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or
back, coldness of extremities, etc., etc. Only
few of the above symptoms are likely to
be present in any case at one time. The liver
being the great depurating, or blood-cleans-
ing organ of the system, set this great
"housekeeper of our health at work, and
the foul corruptions which gender in the
blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery
of life, are gradually expelled from the sys-
tenn. For this purpose, DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, with very small doses
daily of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, is pre-eminently the articles needed.
They cure every kind of humor from the
worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch,
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly
heal under their mighty curative influence.
Virulent blood peisOns that lurk in the sys-
tenn are by them robbed of their terrors, and
by their persevering and somewhat pro-
tracted use the most tainted systems may be
completely renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumors, and swellings,
dwindle away and disappear under the in
huence Of these greatresolvents.

A HoRN-BooK.-Have you school
book there under your arm, my boy ?
Well, there's a tradition in my family
that little folks used to learn their letters
from a horn-bOok. A curious-looking
thing it was, too, Pve heard. A frame
something like that of small slate,
with handle on one end, and where the
slate should be, a piece of paper, with
letters and figures ON it, all nicely COW
cred up from meddlesome little fingers,
with a sheet of very thin hOrn-so thin
that the letters showed through. No
pictures,-no nice little stories like "The
Cat can Rum" or those in your old
primer; no gayly colored big letters with
" A was an Archer" to tempt the babies
to learn. Nothing but the alphabet; and
figures. Sometimes they contained a
verse of pretty hymn, or perhaps a
copy of the Lords Prayer, but this was
not very common. Yet the youngsters
in those times did learn to read, I've
heard; and they went through some
pretty hard books, too" Jack-ia-the
Pulpit" st. Nicholas.

Swindling the Children.
Philadelphia Time

A week or so ago large, fleshy-faced
man called upon the proprietor OF hes
tein Hall, corner of Seventh and Dick
inson streets, asking the use OF the hall
for matinee yesterday afternoon and
terms were finally agreed upon. The
busy artifcer spent the week IN dis
tributing tickets among the children OF
the various schools upon the southern
part of the city, upon one side of which
was printed: professor LaRue's Cen
tennial Carnival of Wonders and Moral
Exhibition. This ticket will admit the
bearer on receipt of ten cents. Every
child receives q present" The other
side told the wondering children that
watches, plated ware, dry goods, Hour,
and greenbacks we're among the presents
which the crafty 6nancier offered. Be
fore three o'clock Restein Hall contained
four thousand children. Every seat and
windowsill was occupied, and hundreds
of the excited little ones were standing
in the aisles. At length the magic per
Torrance commenced, and after poorly
executing one or two simple tricks, and
pretending that something was needed
from the ante-room, the moral swlndler
walked out the back way, and down
Dickinson street with several hundred
ill-gotten dollars in his pocket. Pretty
soon it began to dawn upon the youthful
minds of the audience that their professor
wasn't coming back, and the rumor
passing quickly around that the gift con,
Germ was all hoax, caused fearful
rush for the ticket Office. Here a few
dozen glass and jet trinkets were dis
tributed by a lame old darkey, who had
been hired half hour before to help IN
the performance, but these soon gave
out, and the excitement and furore OF
the children were unbounded. Officers
had been called who, by brandishing
their black-iacks and yelling peace, be
STILL" prevented serious injuries If not
loss of lie as the wrathful urchins piled
pell-mell down the stairs to catch the
rascal who had raised their expectations
to the fever pitch and swindled them so.
Two false arrests have been made, but
the man who took four thousand chill
dren and good many grown people III
so neatly has decamped for parts I'M
known to try his little game again, where
his crookedness is not suspected.

Democratic National Convention.


On June 81, at st. Louis, the Convention
assembled in the large and beautiful hall of
the st. Louis Chamber of Commerce, deco
rated with garlands of leaves, State coats of
arms, flowers, etc. Delegates were promptly
in their places, but it was 1920 before the
Convention was called to order by the Hon.
Augustus Schell, Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. Mr.. Schell, after SUBJ
mitting few remarks to the Convention on
the policy and position of the Democratic
party, nominated Henry WattersOn, of KY,
as Temporary Chairman, which was unani-
mously confirmed. At the conclusion of
his speech on taking the chair, and a
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Marvin, the Chair an
nounced as temporary Secretary, Frederick
o. Prince, of Massachusetts, and L. o.
Walker, of Iowa, and 5. K. Donovan, of
Ohio, Assistant Secretaries; also, Dan.
Able, of Missouri, as Sergeant-at-Arms.
resolution to adopt the rules of the last
National Convention until otherwise
ordered, was adopted. The Secretary pro-
ceeded to call the roll OF the States for Gre
dentials.
A Minnesota delegate moved the usual
resolution to call the roll of the States for
Committees on Permanent Organization and
Credentials. Adopted.
The roll was called and the committees
named.
Mr. Smith, of Illinois, moved a resolution
that committee of one from each State be
appointed on resolutions, and that all reso-
lutions relating to the platform be referred
to said committee without debate. Adopted.
Mr.. Weed, of New York, moved that the
Chairman of each delegation send to the
Chair the name of its member of the Plat
form Committee. There being no objection,
it was so ordered.
The Chairman stated that delegates from
the National WOmen's Suffrage Association
were present, asking hearing.
Mr.. Weed, of New York, and Mr.. Smalley,
of Vermont, were appointed committee TO
eseert the ladies to the platform.
Miss Phoebe w. Cozzens, Of st. Louis, took
the platform, and addressed the Convention
with much self-possession, but her voice was
too weak to be heard many feet distant. She
referred to this Centennial leap year, and
said it was in order not only for women
TO make proposals, but to have them ac
cepted, and if the Democratic party wanted
to live long, she warned them to hear the
women's prayer, to heed the voice of in
spiration, which says it is not good for mar
to be alone, and take women into theil
/ political association as a matter of eterna
| Justice and sound policy. She concluded
/ by presenting the resolutions of the Woman
| Suffrage Association, which, on motion o
! Mr.. McClernand, Of Illinois, were referred T.
the Committee on Resolutions, for respectful
consideration. A Committee on Resolu
tons was appointed, consisting of one fro1
each State. Mr.. Miller, of Nebrasks
presented petition from his constituent

Romans used to have! 1t wasn't paper
at all, Pm told, but pair of ivory leaves,
held together with hinges, like the states
some of our school boys carry. The inside
was thinly coated with wax, and the
letter was written with some sharp i'm
plement. One could write a letter on
the wax, tie it up, seal it, and send it to
a friend. When it was read, the writing
could be rubbed out with a knife, or any
smooth, fat thing, and then it was ready
to use again. l fancy people didn't write

a natural healthful activity of the system, we must
resort to artificial means For this purpose Schencks
Sea Weed Tonic is very effectuaI. few doses will
create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the
enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose The
Sea Weed Tonic its nature is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acds in fact it assists the regular operations of Ea-
ture, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its
nature so much resembles the gastric juice that is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition

THE YOUNG FOLKS.


Fots1ittle imps and four little birds
Lived up in the self-same tree;
And the kindly ways Of those four little imps
Was a beautiful sight to see.
They fed and tended those orphan birds
All through the blossoming days;
And never were tired Of sitting around
And watching their comical ways.
Their pitiful squeak they took for a song
As sweet as they ever had heard;
And they sometimes laughed, and oftener sighed
In feeding each motherless bird.
So, gently they tended them, day by day,
Till their four little pets had grown,
And, longing to go to the beautiful sky,
Each bird from the nest had flown.
And when all were gone, the four little imps
Did wipe their eight little eyes,
Add scamper away to assuage their grief
Which seems to me rather wise.
