that it ought to be true, although 1t
Is by no means new.
"Therc was, in the early part Of

cannot shut our eyes to the truth that
q great deal of an apparently admira-
BILE metal is quite unsuitable for this

When the contents of the ladlc are un-

A singular discovery was recently
made in a cemetery at Newburgh, N.
Y. A number of trees were being
fellcd, and in the roots of one, q large
willow, Embedded to t;ic depth OF
twelve or eighteen inches, two foot
stones from graves were found, about
which the tree. had grown. When
the men engaged in the work were
cutting up the trunk to take it away,
about fifteen inches from the surface,
at a point about three feet from the
ground, the saw grated against somc-
thing hard. They then split the
stump, using powder and ak, until
they reached the curiosity, which
proved to be a marble foot stone, in
the heart of the willow tree. The
fibre or grain of the tree had grown
around it, and evidently had been too
powerful for the stone, for it had been
broken in two pieces, and the top
leaned considerably out of its place.

A Great Revelation.
Some Valuable Thoughts Concerning Iiu-

gestiOn About SeeuriRgiL

The free and independent thought of
this age accepts statements only where
they are proven to be truth, while the
development of mental power seems
equally great in every other department
of life. The valuable inventions of the
day are counted by thousands. The in
crease of scientific study is universal.
The spirit of inquiry in all fields is so
marked as to cause
COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE,
while people seem investigating and
advancing in every direction which can
help them morally, mentally or physi-
cally. This is specially true of the hui
man body and everything which con-
Germs it, and the truths which the peo-
pie have found, even in the last fifty
years, are simply marvellous. How re-
ally ignorant some cultured and suppo
seably scientific people were only a few
years ago, as compared with the pres
ent day, may be better understood from
a few illustrative facts. A prominent
writer prepared an elaborate essay to
prove that steamships could never cross

that if a person felt a pain in the back,

known that a pain in the back indicates
diseased kidneys, while troubles in the
lower chest arise from a disordered liver
and not imperfect lungs. A severe
pain in the head was once thought to
come from some partial arrangement of
the brain; it is now known that trouble
in other parts of the body and away

HISTORY

that Gen. Washington was bled to death.
His last illness was slight, and caused
principally by WEAKNESS. A physician
was called who 'bled him copiously.
Strange to say, the patient became no
better. Another doctor was called,
who again took away a large amount of
the vital fluid. Thus in succession four
physicians drew away the life of a great
man who was intended by nature for an
old age, and who p%rematurely died
murdered bymalpractice-bled to death.
That was the age of medical bleed
ing''
After describing at length the Offices
of the kidneys and liver, and their i'm
portant part in life, the doctor went on
to say:
"Having found this great truth, l saw
clearly the cause OF my recovery. The
simple vegetable leaf l had used was a
food and restorer to my well-nigh ex-
hausted kidneys and liver. 1t had come
to them when their life was nearly gone
and by its simple, yet powerful influ-
ence had purified, strengthened and res
tored them and saved me from death.
Realizing the great benefit which a
knowledge of this truth would give to
the world, L began in u modest way to
treat those afflicted, and IN erery case l
found the same
