ADVICE TO CoNsUMPTIvEs.--No man,
however uncleanly, would drink muddy,
dirty water. A party which occupies q
room for hours, breathing the same air,
might be compared to a party of bathers
drinking the water in which they battle.
The patient must keep the window Of his
bed room open. Night air is fresh air
without daylight. In close, crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung complaints
breathes consumptively, BY taking these
precautions and using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases of lung
complaints would be cured in six months.
For cough and irritation of lungs do not
always indicate the presence of consump-
ton although itmay result in that disease,
and if consumption has already become
deeply seated in the system, this is the
most efficient course of treatment that can
be pursued outside of any institution that
provides special facilities for the treatment
Of this disease. DR.. Pierces celebrated In
valids' Hotel is such an institution. Send
stamp for descriptive pamphlet containing
also complete treatise upon consumption,
explaining IT'S causes, nature, and the best
methods of treating il, together with valua-
bic hints concerning diet, clothing, eXer-
else, etc, for consumptives Address

VINO Is MRs. WINsLow.-As this ques-
ton is frequently asked, we will simply
say that she is lady who for upwards OF
thirty years has untiringly devoted her time
and talents as female physician and
nurse, principally among children, She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants Of this numerous class, and, as re-
suit of this effort, and practical knowledge,
obtained in lifetime spent as nurse and
physician, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup, for children teething II operates
like magc-giving rest and health, and Is
moreover, sure TO regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article Mrs, Winslow
is becoming worId.renowned as benetactor
of her race ;children certainly do rise up and
bless her; especially is this the
case in this city. Vast quantities Of the
Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used
here. We think Mrs. Winslow has minor
talized her name by this lnyaube article
and We sincerely believe thousands Of chill
rem have been saved from an early grave by
its timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share rs benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed. No mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given il the benefit of,
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it

A Rapid Ride.

A miner who has returned from Colo
rada to Pittsburgh says that he knew
some fellow gulch men who were cross
ing the Continental Divide when it was
covered with snow. Three miles below
them, down decline of forty-five de-
grees deeply covered with frozen snow,
lay the spot they desired to reach, while
tog go around by trail was fifteen miles.
One of them took tin pan, used for
washing gold, spread his blanket over
1t, got in himself in a squatting position
on his launches, tucked the blanket
around, held his rifle and other traps
over his head and got one of his COM
panions to give BIN push. He slid
down at at frightful speed, and shot far
out into the valley at the foot of the
mountain. When he stopped he found
the soldering of the pan melted from
friction and his blanket on fire.

10 a Bad Fix.

A Democrat of Jamaica, Long Island,
attended rally under the auspices of a
Democratic club in an old theatre in
Brooklyn, While there he was struck
with paralysis. This was Saturday
night. When the meeting adjourned,
the rest went out without noticing him,
as he sat still and helpless. In fact, he
was unconscious,a and sat there all night.
He recovered consciousness Sunday
morning, but could not move or make a
noise loud enough to be heard outside.
At eleven o'clock Sunday night he had
recovered enough to groan, and a letter
carrier heard him from the street and
notified the police, who broke in and
took the invalid home.

Captain Eads' Ship Railway.

The Scientific american of this week
contains two full page illustrations Of
Captain Eads' proposed railway for
transporting ships with their cargo
across continents.
Captain Eads' claims by his plan to be
able TO lake loaded ships of the largest
tonnage from one ocean to the other
across the Isthmus of Panama, as readl-
Iy as can be done by an actual canal af-
ter the Lessup plan, and at much less
cost for engineering construction.
The project is certainly bold and inge-
nious, and the protector anticipates no
serious difficulties In carrying forward
his enterprise. The engravings. referred
to In the Scientific american show the
proposed construction of not only the
railroad, but the appliances for transfer
ring the ships from the water to the rail.
In addition to the large number of en-
Cravings, illustrative of engineering
works, inventions and new discoveries
which appear weekly, the Scientific
american has, during the last year, de-
voted considerable space to illustrating
and describing leading establishments
devoted to different manufacturing in
dustries.
This feature has added very much TO
the attractiveness and usefulness of the
paper. More than fifty of the most i'm
portant industrial establishments of our
country have been illustrated, and the
processes of the different manufactures
de scribed in its columns, The Scientific
american has been published for more
than thirty-fou years by MUM & Co.,
81 Park Row, New York, and has at
tained larger weekly circulation than
all similar papers published in the coun-
try. The publishers assure the public
that they have not printed less than 5O,-
copies week for several months.
