speed is the saving grace, if there is
only enough of it. Our first aim,
then, is to have all our brood mares
as strongly saddle-gaited and as full
of the fastest and most fashionable
pacing blood as we can get. l say

friend at our elbow suggests that

painful impression that the poor
creature with outstretched neck, was

looking ahead what of the future?
Just here the speed records prove
we have laid the surest foundation
for future success in breeding the
trotter, the fastest trotters, of all
ages, being out of pacing bred dams.
This fact is universally admitted.
Our next aim, with such a collection
of brood mares at our command, and
VIC would now be in po-
sition to justify it, would
be to secure the services of the
best trotting sires within reach, and
they are coming among US in goodly
and well-bred ones at that.
Then as wealth accumulates in our
section, roads become improved,
driving parks abound and million

As no one seems inclinedsto break

ly prevail with your horse team to
take their time, to moderate their
ardor, it might be all right, but you
can't, and it stands out an undisput-
able fact, that the hotter it gets. the
fastcl they want to pass into the
shade beyond; the deeper the hole
they are in, the more eager they are
to get elsewhere no matter what
cracks. Fred Douglass once re-
marked, that the greatest obstacle
in the way of the progress of occu-
pying the land of the negro in the

rate every year, until even now, in
summer afternoons, along our high

don't think exaggerate when state
that at least ten times as many pri-

inland centers as In our cotton ports

reason is not for us TO seek perhaps,
and does not necessarily indicate a

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery of the Cause of Most
Untimely Deaths That Come Upon
the Community.

The Discovery of the Cause of Most
Untimely Deaths That Come Upon
the Community.
The official returns Of the city of New
York show that nearly three-fourths of all
deaths are from consumption. When we
stop 10 calmly think over tins fact, 1t is
really awful. And yet every case without
exception started from small beginnings.
A cough in the morning; tickling in the
throat; thick phlegmy discharge chilli
ness ut night difficult breathing tight
ness across the chest; these and many more
symptoms indicate the presence of that
terrible disease which, unless checked,
means certain death with long and painful
suffering.
In view of such serious and eyer-present
facts the suggestions aud advice Of the
most eminent physicians are of the great
est value
DR. John Gardner, one Of the most emf
nent physicians in London, says; "Science,
common sense, Holy Scriptures and all

Pule Malt Whlskey Is, without doubt, the
inyalids drink when stlmulants are lndi-
Gated, and find all chronic cases require
stlmulants, and a large per cent of the
acute ones also
These truths, from the lips Of the lead
ing scientific men OF the day, and CON
irmed by the experience of men and
women well known in the community
should serve as a guide for all who feel the
approach of consumption, no matter by
what path II may come. We do not hesi-
tate 10 assert that any man or woman who
will use Duiiy's Pure Malt Whiskey ac-
cording TO directions can defy consump.
