The Use of Quinine.

There is no questioning the fact
that quinine is a valuable medicine as
a tonic, anti-periodic and anti-pyre.ic,
and that its discovery has greatly
helped the cause of medicine. Still
in majority of cases its use is not
altogether satisfactory as it frequently
deranges the system, producing head
ache, dizzy feelings, convulsions and
sometimes even paralysis. 1t was the
endeavor of the eminent DR.. John
Bull of Louisville, KY, to invent a
substitute for quinine, something that
would have all the good qualities of
auinine, and yet be entirely free from
its evil tendencies. How admirably
he succeeded is evidenced by the esti-
nation in which his remedy Smiths
Tonic Syrup is held by the people;
where it is best known everybody uses
it in place of quinine and it never
fails to give the very best of satisfac-
ton. In cases of chills and feyerit is
absolutely safe and certain cure.

interest Schiaparelli, the eagle-eyed
astronomer OF Milan, the discoverer OF
tho double canals on Mars, has turned
his eager gaze ON Mercury, and made
an astonishing discovery. lie announces
that the suns nearest neighbor turns
once on his axis while revolving round
the sun, Just Rs the moon turns once on
her axis while revolving round the
earth.
AS 1t takes Mercury elghty-eight days

auiros the same time for his rotation on
his axis. 1t follows that he turns always
the same face toward tho sun. as the
moon turns always tho same face TO the
earth. completing hcr rotation In about
twenty-seven days
Schiapavclli not only makes this an
nouncement, but confirms 1t by what to
him seems abundant proof. lie has
been observing the planet for seven
years-since lsse-making his observa-
tions by daylight, and has obtained ono
hundred and fifty drawings Of the

Every noted physician in our section
was tried or consulted. When | came

medical men, but was not benefited.
After that, under the advice of not

Clifton Springs, New York, without
any good results. When all things
had failed determined to try S. s. S.,
and in four months was entirely cured.
The terrible Eczema was all gone, not
