to say, YOUR lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful
machinery it is. Not only the larger
air-passages, but the thousand of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these arc clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work
And when they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumo-

Still another method, for which | gladly

and mysterious manner, was to weave
the names or dates to be remembered
into a story and then study the story for
several months, after which time, if the

names and dates woven into it could be
recalled with amazing exactness and
rapidity.

Hoods. SarsapariIIa

In the winter Of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravatlng forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally on the recommendation OF w. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the screfulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have an
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming. smaller by degrees and
beautifully less do not know what 1t NAV

my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an

my gratitude send these facts unsolicited

any one who doubts it," CHARLES A ROB-
ERTS, East Wilson, n. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. j. Hunt

cure great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilia.

Dynamite for Laying Foundations.

Paradoxical as it may seem, the latest
thing for which dynamite has been en-
ployed is not the blowing up Of build
ings, but, ON the contrary, the laying Of
foundations. This new development is
due to NJ Bonnetond, a French engineer.
When foundation has to be laid in wet
ground he bores hole from ten to
twelve feet deep and an inch and a half
wide. Into this hole he passes string
offdynaniite cartridges, which is then ex-
ploded. Not only is cavity of a yard
wide produced by the explosion, but the
expansive force of the dynamite drives
the water out far beyond the sides of this
cavity, and it does not, return again for
more than half an hour. In the mean
time the workmen clear the cavity ana
introduce quickly setting concrete, SO
that when the water returns again it can
not injure the foundation. The method
has been put into practice during the
building of an enceinte at Lyons, and a
rapid rate of working is said to have been
attained thereby.--Ch Chicago Times.
