THE VIRTUE OF MEDICINE rs
TESTED BY ITS EFFECTS.
MODESTO. Cal. Nav "a 1890

MODESTO, CAL, May "a 1890.
DR.. j. Eugene Jordan. Seattle, Wash.
DEAR SIR: hope you will not consider
me tedious if 1 tell little experience,
such as may not have come under your
observation. About fifteen years ago a
bright red spot. about the size of a pea,
came on one side of tn end of my nose.
It was a source of great annoyance to NE
and great anxiety to my friends, who
feared the spot might be a cancer. It
seemed strange such thing would come
on my face, for my health has always been
good and never had so much as pimple
on my skin did not know what to do
for the trouble. There was a throbbing
pain all the while and last fall, when the
cold weather set in, the spot became fam
ing red and hard, and r. manned SO. 1t be
came very sore to the touch and hot. The
pain was throbbing, severe pain. Then l
became truly alarmed, for the thing was
becoming worse, and some time in Febru.
airy remembered that you recommended
M water for the eyes when they were in
famed; so | applied this to my nose one
evening and was sure that with this one
application the inflammation was lessened.
l kept up the treatment a week, aud my
nose seemed well. / continued taking the
medicine for six weeks, and at the end of
that time the purple spot was entirely
gone, and there is no trace of the thing
left. The redness has also entirely disap-
peared. l could not be thankful enough
that l had heard of your medicines and
knew what to use. Respectfully.
Mrs. 81. PURvIs.

A THANKFUL PARSON.

A pious parson, good and truA
Was crossing DER the seas,
When suddenly there flercely blew
A wild and sweeping breeze.
He feared the storm the ship would wreck
His heart was sore afraid.
He sought the captain on the deck
And found him undismayed.
The captain saw his awful fear
And led him up to where
The servant of the Lord could hear
The sailors roundly swear.
''You clearly see,'' the captain said,
IF danger lowered nigh,
They'd ell be on their knees instead
And asking grace to die"
The parson felt his words were true,
And when the skies grew fair
He marveled how the sailors knew
just when to pray or swear.
But when the seas which wildly flowed
Had ceased to plunge and spout,
Unto himself he said: 'Tt showed
They know what they're about"
But later OH another storm
Came f1ercer than before.
The parson heard with wild alarm
The oceans angry roar.
He sought the deck in awful dread
To near the sailors get.
He listened-then he bowed his head
''Thank God, they're swearing yet"

John Gardner, M. D., is London Ply
stefan who makes specially of the treat
ment of diseases of elderly persons. In
recent book upon this subject, DIR. Gard
ner says:
"a healthy and vigorous state of every
part and every organ is essential to the
health and well being of the whole system
TO grow old gracefully is not the COM
mon lot Of all. With advancing years
come increased infrmities they are by no
means inevitable, and their presence is due
to the failure to keep up to their work the
various organs of the body. The study of
the body by scientists furnishes unques-
tionable evidence that the duration of
human life may be prolonged to hundred
years."
Why, then, do so few live to that age;
and why after middle life-and often be-
fore-is there SO much suffering from ner-
vousness, rheumatism, feebleness, lack of
appetite, sleeplessness, and debility? Be-
cause long life or overwork has weakened
the nervous system. Rev. T. Williston,
the famous author of "Christ's Millenial
Reign" when eighty four years old, suf-
fered with indigestion and rheumatic af-
fections. His attention was called FORUM
ately to Paine's Celery Compound. A free
use of that great medicine for the nerves
cured him, and made great improvement
in his general health.
This grand discovery is an unequaled
medicine for the aged. 1t produces life
and energy and is marvellous preserver
of the fire and vigor of youth. There is
nothing like it forstrengthening the nerves,
and curing the diseases to which old folks
are specially subject. 1t is truly called in
valuable by those who have made special
study of diseases of elderly people.

flJiAN BREAD.
How the Natives Manipulate the Fruit of
the Breadfruit Tree.

How the Natives Manipulate the Fruit of
the Breadfruit Tree.
The first mention of the breadfruit re-
calls the mutiny of the Bounty, whose
mission was to transplant this tree from
Otaheite, as the early navigators called
it, to Jamaica. In his dangerous voyage
in an open boat Bligh sailed athwart
this Fijian group with gale raging at
his back. He passed canoe filled with
warriors, and as he hurried by the ma
tives stood up and pointed to the loom
OF land to the southwark and shouted
''My-wollah,' but what in the world
this may mean the man does not live
who can tell Baked or boiled, the fruit
is starchy, somewhat sticky vegetable
with no earthly resemblance to bread
It differs from the yam in that it may
not be preserved for future use, but in
it's natural state must be eaten at once
Yet, preserved, it is, after a peculiar dis
tressing fashion, not at all pleasant to
the civilized taste.
The ripe fruit is stripped of it's sticky
rind and is grated on blocks Of coral
and when reduced to a shapeless mass is
vigorously pounded with a pestle in a
mortar. While some are thus preparing
the pulp others are engaged digging pits
on the pebbly beach about half tide
level, each pit Of about bushel capacity
and lined with banana leaves. Each of
these pits is then filled with the pulped
breadfruit packed hard, the stones are
thrown back upon it, and little heap
marks the spot where the dainty is pre-
served. Twice every day the tides come
in and salty saturate the buried food
twice every day for at least four months,
for short of the expiration of that time
the preserve is not considered at it's best.
the limit in the other direction being
certainly not less than year.
AS need for the food arises the pits are
opened, and then the reek of rottenness
spreads down the wind. The process of
preserving is but that of decay aided by
the sea water, and it naturally results
that the preserve smells to the skies
when its repOse is disturbed. Little do
the Fijians care for this smell, on which
they have been nourished, though to the
last man their gorge would rise at cavi-
are OF high cheese such as is in favor
with us. The fruit that went into the
pit as pulp comes out as thick custard
and is nodded into little cakes of the size
of mans hand and, each wrapped in
banana leaves, is put into a pot and
steamed. After cooking the distinctive
odor appears to be redoubled, but the
cake is sweet and extremely pleasant to
the taste if only the nose can be coerced
into giving over its lively repugnance to
that which goes beneath it to the mouth
This is the madria nj viii, the Fijian
bread, which is everywhere eaten and
reliShed. Star.
