WHAT CURES {?
EDITORIAL DIFFERENCE OF OPINION on AN
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.


What is tho torce that Gusts disease and

applying is? How far is the regular
physician useful to us because We beloTe
in him, and how far are his pills and pow-
ders and tonios only tue material repre-
sentasives OF his personal influence on our
health?
The regular doctors cure; the homeao-
pathio doctors cure; the Hahnemannites
cure; and so do the faith cures and the
mind cures, aad The so-oalled Christian
eoisntists, and the four-dollar-and-a-half
advertising itinerants, and the patent
medicine men. They ell hit, and they all
miss, and the great differeDce-one great
difference-iG the result is thas when the
regular doctors lose patient DO one gruu-
bles, aud when the irregular doctors lose
one the community stands on end and
bowls. -Rochester Union and Adreftiser.
Nature cures, but nature can ba aided,
hiDde ed or defeated in the curative
process. And the Commercials contention
is that it is the part of rational beings to
seek and trust the advice of men Of COED
character who have studied the human
system and learned, as fer as modern
science lights the way, how far they can
aid nature and bow they can best avoid
obatrucsing her.-Bgfalo Commercial.
It is not our purpose to consider the evil;
that result from employing the unsorupu

than the physician who knows nothing, o.

How Girls Can Be Pretty.

You come back to town richer in flesh,
more determined to SUCCESS, but just won
dering little bit at tie way the kisses of
the sun and the browning that flashed
from the waves have affected your skin.
There is no use in telling you that freckles
and suuburn are becoming; you do not con
tradict your brothers when they tell you
this, but in your heart you do not believe
they quite know.
The trouble having been STATED, the reno.
dy must be found. First, your blood must
be gotten into good condition by using a
tonic for it. This may be little eat de-
cologne Or some alcohol in the water 10
whicn you bathe your face, neck and arms;
it will have an almost instantaneous effect,
and you will be conscious of glowing, ex.
hilarated condition.
Then at night use some fine cosmetic.
There are many perfectly harmless ones
that are more pleasant than vaseine or
olive oil, though both of these are equally
good.
Drink milk twice day, and remember
that it must be ordinary milk, not cream.
1t is said to be more whitening to the skin
than anything applied on the outside, and
surely it is at once pleasant and healthful.
Elder-fower water, lemon-juice and rose
wafer are all simple remedies IOr 1recKieS,
and will undoubtedly remove them if they
are regularly used and allowed to dry on
the skin. A famous beauty is said to keep
her hands white by always using the half
of lemon in washing her hands, exactly
as she would piece Of soap; and, although
freckles come, still nothing is so>>good for
the skin as sunshine; 1T makes the under
skin flush, and delicate pink and white
is the result. A little care about broad
brimmed hat, and good-sized sun.um-
brella will give you all the good desired
from sunshine and keep away its defects.
Keep on the sunny-side of the street in the
winter. You know that is the place chosen
by Englishmeu, Southern women and dogs,
80 the friends will look at the good skins
of all three, and use the proverb to point a
moral and adorn tale.-Ladies' Home

Languor, Dull Headache,

sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,

dose of Regulator will
give felle1. 80 perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or

do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

Cold gleam the evening stars, and from the lu-

Grim shadows haunt the strees, that gnarled

Tomb at their roots, blood d-stained. the dead

And where the brooklets leaped, the marshes

Until their sheaves of barren stalks are tied In

Look Before You Drink.

The shocking mistake made by a Reading woman who swallowed crys- talized white vitrol under the impress sion that it was a dose of Epson salts has many parallels. Hardy a week passes that the newspapers do not chronicle some blunder of the kind, and yet people continue to do the very thing they know by the experience of others to be fatally dangerous. To take medicine without looking at the label on the bottle, or to drink from bottle or glass in dark room, is like tri- fling with death, and while some are fortunate enough to avoid fatal er- TOT many become victims of their own heedlessness. Unfortunately the sui ferers fail to serve as a warning to their careless fellow crea ures. Like the woman who continues to kindle her fire with kerosene because nothing has yet happened to her, the people who swallow supposed medicines blind ly will not be frightened by accidents to others because they had never had anything happen to them, and have an idea that escape from the perils of the past furnishes immunity from the dan gers of the present.
