As a result of personal experience,
I may state that some years since I
lived for period of forty days, so far
as what if called solid food is con
cerned, solely on fish, with, of course,
the addition of bread (no potatoes were
eaten during the period); but L cannot
recommend that mode of living. I
discovered before the forty days had
expired, that fish was not the staff of
life.
In the course of my experience not
only lost flesh but also energy, nor did
feel my head clearer or my thoughts
and feelings more alert than when sub
sisting on more varied food. While
living upon fish only, one feels "a
want" a craving for something you
don't know what" is to say, you
cannot give a name to your desires
nor does the feeling wear off as you
continue the dietary; at all events, in
my case custom came not to the res
cue;" 50, after forty days had expired.
I returned to the hesh-pots. not all at
once, though, being convinced that eau
ton was necessary.
One popular fallacy in connection
with fish may be noticed, namely, the
oft-repeated assertion that the eating
of that particular food increases brain
power. No one who has studied the
subject can possibly believe the asser-
ton. A man might eat huge portion
of fish every day of his life, and on the
day of his death, if the quantity OF
phosphorus (the brain invigorator)
consumed were to become visible, ii
would not amount to more than nigh
probably suffice to tip a couple of luci
fer matches. Communities have ex.
listed that lived almost solely on fish
but these ichthpophagists were GER
tainly not famous for intellectual at.
tainments. Nor are our fisher villages
in many of which much fish is pre-
sumably consumed, the seats of any
great amount of brain-power. None
of our fish-folks are remarkable fol
| genius, or even what is called common
sense; their views of life and its re
spOnsibilities being shrouded in a haze
of superstition, which they lack suffi
cient strength of mind to see through
No fishing community, so far as /
known to the writer, has given to the
world a great man. Men of mark -
poets, preachers, lawyers, warriors
| philosophers and physicians - hav,
emanated, in Scotland at any rate
from all classes except the fishing
class.-Tenlple Bar.

Il soonadss sohO can see.
She's the woman who gets well.
It's the woman who Sooas't see. and
won't believe who has to suffer.
And it's needless. There's a
medicine-a legitimate medicine
that's made to stop wonan's suf-
fering and cure woman's ailments.
It's DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless "a powerful
general, as well as uterine, tonic
and nervine, imparting vigor and
strength to the whole system. For
periodical pains, weak back, bearing
down sensations, nervous prostra-
ton, and all female complaints"
it's positive remedy. 1t improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and
nervousness brings refreshing sleep,
and restores health and strength.
No other medicine for women is
guaranteed, as this is. If it fails to
give satisfaction, in any case, the
money paid for it is refunded. You

these terms it's the cheapest.
But more than that, it's the best.

Review referring to the subject says:
"Mr. Wyman and Mr.. Wallace

ton which is a very wealthy one, is
on the eve of building q handsome
new church, and is very desirous oil

of St, Paul's church of this city, as
well as q vast number of other people,
have become deeply attached to Rev.
wilkins, and should he be induced to
leave the city it would be a matter Of
sincerest sorrow to many. His elo
