TRANSMISSION of Blood,

A lawyer, it seems, has come to the aid Of
the medical fraternity, judging from the re-
port of what are described Us successful OK
periments carried on before professors of the
Michigan State university medical depart
ment, with an instrument for the TRANSMISSION
of blood directly from one animal or person
into another A correspondent declares that
it bids fair to overcome the only heretofore
existing obstacle to the success of this opera
tion-the CLOTHING Of blood, and dangers fol-
lowing from injection of such clots In the
experiments, sick sheep was placed at one
end of the instrument and healthy one at
the other, and n very visible change for the
better was the result in the sick one. The
other was then allowed to bleed as long
as blood would flow, and was rcsusci-
tated by blood taken from calf. The in.
ventor is said to have been successful law
yer, whom ill health compelled To abandon
his profession. Boston Transcript.

YOU sAlDl

You said that you would come again
When winters storms were DER,
When hawthorns blossomed in the lane,
And spring was green once more;
But now the ripening corn is high,
The hawthorn bloom is shed,
The golden summer days pass by, -
And all my hope Is deadl
You said, where Ter your steps might range,
Your heart would still be mine;
You said true love could never change,
For 1t was made divine.
But now I've learnt that lovers VOWS
Are changeful as the moon;
Truth falls like May bloom from the boughs,
And love is dead too soon!
You said, though other lips should smile,
'Twould be In vain for you
That rarest charms could ne'er beguile
heart SO firm and true.
But now my tears, like falling rain,
Blot out the dying day,
And you will never come again
To kiss my tears away

That rheumatism and neuralgia are &C
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem TO be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form OF neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incIrable but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but safe remedy. IT, III the use
OF AthlophoroS, the bowels are kept freely
oDsa, its success is certain, and 10 aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found 10 he valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for Use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation. loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles For
diseases Of women they are invaluable
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, l12 Wall St, New York. will
send either carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is S100 per bottle

THE SECOND HAND SHOE TRADE.

How They Are Made Over and sold-Se-
crcts of the Trade.
Said the shoemaker: you would be sur
prised to see the class of men who purchase
second hand shoes. I have among my Gus
toners an elderly gentleman who comes here
regularly every three months and buys pair
Of shoes for $50 He is wealthy, but
miser. Many men whom might name and
who are well able to buy new shoes prefer
second hand ones for economys sake When
pair of shoes are cast off they are worthless
to the original purchaser and can be bought
for song. When business is dull | some
times go out on a collecting tour, and in
couple of hours will obtain enough shoes and
boots to keep me employed for month.
Boots are much more valuable than shoes be-
cause they contain mote leather. l find
that they are not worn much nowadays,
and those occasionally cone across are made
of the finest leather"
what means are taken to bnrnish up old
shoes was asked.
The upperS of second hand shoes are always
good, whether the lowers are worn or not. If
the body of the shoe is not III patchab!c con-
| dition must put on an entire new lnstep.
Usually the upper part of the heel to the curve
of the foot remains in good condition. Some
| times it becomes necessary to entirely reno
| yate old shoes, so that when finished they are
| like new ones, with this difference, that the
| leather used is not so good Is the original.
Soles and heels always bave to be rebuilt and
the toes capped. In all these repairs the
| cheapest of sole leather is used. When finished
| the shoes can be sold from seventy-itve cents
| TO sl.50. 4 shoe must he of the finest leather
| and he but little worn to bring e.
Who are your customers

little for their shoes ] supply whole families
with shoes. from the father and mother to the

| Women usually wear their shoes in the street
| until they become shabby, when they are cut
| down and used in the house As slippers. And
| then, besides, women's shoes are now so chcaT
chat it would not pay to make them over"
While the reporter was listening to the cob
bler's chatter there entered the store q labor

pair of brogans three sizes too large fol

Rheumatism

IL is an established fact that Hoods Sar-

will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
