From NJ. Topinard's observations on
the color of eyes and hair in $50 900
persons in France many interesting re-
suits have been deduced. One of the
epost curious is that race formed from a
mixture of blondes and brunettes shows
the hereditary blonde element in the
eyes and the brunette in the hair, this
tendency accounts for the rarity Of a
combination of Light hair and dark eyes.

The principal was 50 pleased at the re
suit that he made special mention of Miss
Dash's proficiency as teacher in each of
the class rooms that he visited. Probably
envy was caused by the fact that in NO
other class room did the pupils seem to
be as well up in their studies. One of
the teachers, whose pupils did not &C
quit themselves very creditablY, made an
investigation, and by judicious use of
candy succeeded in gaining the conf
dence of one of the boys under Miss
Dash's care.

WHAT IS NEEDED.

The great public desire medi-
cine that is an absolute specific
for cough or cold, that allays
inflammation, restores the tone to
the system and acts as tonic
and stimulant, while it is harmless
and can be given to children with
impunity. These qualities are all
contained in Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure. 1t is
composed of simple ingredients,
which combined in one prepare
ton form the most effcacious
remedy yet tried for coughs, colds
and kidney complaints. No one
who has ever tried it has ever re-
GREETED it. 1t is an absolute cure
for these diseases, as can be prov
en- by the testimony Of thousands
Of reputable witnesses. 1t is pc
culiarly efficacious in old age
The dry, wheeling cough, the
tightness across the chest, the
tendency towards pneumonia, the
throat troubles that are the
scourge and affliction OF old age,
are all relieved, and, in most cases,
cured by the use of Reds Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure.
Many cases that were pronounced
incurable, and that manifested
unmistakablc signs of consump-
ton, have been not only relieved,
but the patients have been re-
stored to health and were able to
resume their occupations, which,
before taking this great prepare
ton, they had been obliged to
give up. In this particular Reds
German Cough and Kidney Cure
has never been excelled by any
similar remedy. People who
are racked by dry, hard cough
at night are enabled, by the use
Of Reds German Cough and
Kidney Cure, to obtain a most
refreshing sleep, and to arise in
the morning on the road to re-
covery, and from simple dose.
This is not in solitary instance
but in repeated cases. For sale
