while in the country last winter my little
boy. three years old, was taken i'll with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. one of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
WAS tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc

Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from tri1ing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in al cases without delay.

The intensely interesting events taking
place in Africa are a sign that that catastro-
phe for which the greedy great powers Of
Europe have been waiting for fifty years,
is at hand. The Turkish empire is break
ing up, and the covetous powers are be-
ginning to appropriate the fragments.
AS the hungry prairie wolves which fol-
low a wounded buffalo begin to dev)ur
him before he is dead, so the powers have
begun to take their rlorsels of the great
MussuIman empire while it is still alive
The Italian expedite on to the Red sea has
for its object the seizure Of large see
ton of the coast round MassOwah, as part
of Italy's share of the distribution. Tur~
key has protested theoretically against
this invasion of its Egyptian territory;
but who heeds the protests Of dying
man against his dcspoilers? Have not the
British seized Lower Egypt, the Mahdi
Upper Egypt, the French Tunis; and are
not Australia and Russia impatiently
waiting to seize the European part of the
empire?
The only respect the greedy powers
show the Turk IS the courtesy of, for a
time, sparing his vitals. They begin
their repast by devouring his extremities
but every morsel they bite out of him
weakens his powers and hastens his dis
solution. He is dead in Africa, as good
as dead in parts of Asia, and soon his
heart will cease to beat at Constantinoe
pie and be will be dead in Europe. The
mighty barbaric empire that shook the
world with its conquests five centuries
ago and has been such disturbing agen-
cy in European diplomacy, will have per
ished forever and the only question left
behind will be whether the powers Of

THE use of dog meat TO cure Bright
disease has come into notice by the &C
count of the restoration Of the health of
Samuel McGregor, farmer Of St. Clair
county, Illinois, who, after spending
nearly all that he was worth upon physi-
clans and patent medicines, was pro
nounced iucurable, but now is as healthy
man as walks. He traces his present
vitality to feeding upon the flesh of dogs,
according to the advice of an Old German
women who learned of his hopeless con.
dition. She insisted that he should COM
mence feeding on canine flesh and she
would guarantee his complete recovery,
or she would die in his stead. The idea
Of eating dog meat was most uauseating
to McGrcgor, but, ike drowning man
grasping at q straw, he resolved 20 diet
on dog flesh ss a last resort. lie had be
come so fond Of dog meat that he could
hardly give up eating it, but the Juror
that had been produced in the locality
among the people who were missing theiI
dogs and the threats made against the
party who was taking them, warned him
that he must call halt. In all he ate iit-
teen dogs.
Mr.. McGregor is firm in his faith that
he cured his terrible disease solely by eat,
ing dog meat.
