New York now has it's almost daily il- lustration of the deadly dangers that threat on every one passing along the streets. At an early hour last Monday Herald deliv- cry wagon, on the way to the cars, drove upon newly fallen telephone wire, which had made, in falling, connection with another wire, producing an alternating cur- rent. The horse was thrown upon the ground, the driver was thrown out and knocked senseless and when, on recov- ering, he went to help the horse, he was again knocked senseless into the gutter. He was helped away, and everybody now, realizing the nature of the trouble, kept at respectful distance from the horse. The poor horse was literally burned or roasted to death. From all parts of him issued jets of blue flame. The crowd looked on in horror, awe-stricken and helpless in the presence of g power over which our prac- tieal science has not yet acquired control, while the horse was roasted. Later, came inemen clad in rubber, who extricated the rights. But how long will it be before there is another ''acoident"

will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean

in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from q
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it canno. dispose
