DEATH IN HISTAvORITE ROBE:

7: The mortuary statiatics of the whole civil:
lied world show that about One-fifth of oil
mankind die Of Consumption alone; and the
number Of deaths due tolconsumption bears o
OF any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. It's increasing prevalence
has led to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable.- Everv year hundreds Of these
sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats OF Florida
or the dry atmosphere Of Colorado, for health
and find only grave. The influence Of the
either Florida or Colorado can afford the con-
sumptive-is at best only palliative. The cure
of consumption depends upon two essential
conditions: LIST, the arrest of the abnormal
breaking down of the tissues, which prevents
emaciation, and I'd, the restoration of healthy
nutrition, in order to stop the formation of
tuberculoua matter. Fulfill these conditions,
fulfil these conditions the required remedy
must increase the appetite, favor the assimila-
ton of food, and enrich the blood, thus retard-
ing the development of tubercles. To accom-
plish this, a more powerful Alternative than DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has never
been discovered. At the same time, it soothes
the irritation of the nervous system produced
by violent coughing, which in its turn SO often
leads to more'serious results. The use of Tex
pectorants" in consumption is absolutely sui
cidal. For while removing the tutercles al
ready formed, they produce yet more serious
results by inaaming and destroying the sound
and healthy tissues. Consumption requires 4
remedy that will so0the while it relieves
harsh medicines, but add fuel to the flame that
already threatens to consume the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery fulfills these condi-
tons, and has been pronounced the best RENE
dy yet discovered to aliay and arrest consump-
ton. -

Treatment OF SPavia in Horses.
EDITOR OF PRESBYTERIAN WEEKLY: The en-

Dr.. B. j. Kendall, of Enosburgh Falls, VT,
some time since, in treating horse for SPAWN

the application produced SO much soreness
and pain, and apparently no good, determined
to Investigate the matter in order 10 find q
remedy il possible, that would produce the de-
sired effect, aud In a more rational aud hui
name manner. go.
This result he finally succeeded in accom-
plishing and the ''Kendall's SPAWN Cure,": as
it is called, is proving all that could reasonably
have been expected of it. I have interested
myself particularly in the matter in order to
get at the facts, and find that the remedy will
etfectualy remove SPAWN and Splint in from
five to six weeks time, causing no blistering

This is truly an important discovery in
medical science and the ease with which itcan
be applied and absence Of suffering to the AMI

attention of all. E. r. TowLE

Three Literary Fellows.

At the Atlantic Monthly banquet to
the poet Whittier, given in Boston the
other evening, Mark Twain made the fol-
lowing speech:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: This is an occasion
peculiarly meet for the digging up OF
pleasant "reminiscences concerning literary
folk; therefore will drop lightly into
history myself. Standing here; on the
shore Of the Atlantic, and contemplating
certain of its biggest literary pillows, I
am reminded Of a thing which happened
to me fifteen years ago, when I had just
succeeded: in stirring up little Nevadian
literary ocean puddle myself, whose
spume flakes were beginning to blow
thinly California-wards. I started an in
spection tram p through the southern
mines of California: I was callow and
conceited, and I rerolved to try the vir-
tue of my nom de plume. very soon

he looked more detected than before.

beans, black coffee and hot whisky, l
took pipe. This sorrowful man had
not said three words up to this time. Now
he spoke up, and said in the voice of one
who is secretly suffering: :"You're the

Gcorgo Peabody and Socialism.

Some people imagine that rich men are
bccomming more welded TO riches, more
aggressive in the acquisition of wealth,
at the expense OF the working classes.
Hence The agitation in favor of Social

aginatiOn, but we have yet in our midst

in extending good to AZ many as posi-.
bic in their declining years. One Of
those is an old retired physician by the
name of J. II. Mountain, whose address
is Ogdcnsburgh, y Y, who has placed
in his hands a simple cure for consump-
ton, catarrh, asthma, headache and

has now distributed over one million OF
those recipes. aud in this part may have
