Not Necessary to Suffer From
That Affection.
Oh. Ploufs Rheumatism Cure Speedy and
Positive Destroyer Of the Disease.

The reason DR.. PLoUF offers a re-
ward of $500 for any case he cannot
cureis because his RHEUMATISM CURE
is dead shot for that painful malady.
1t is positively unnecessary to longer
suffer from rheumatism. The sufferer
who does so inflicts cruelty upon
himself. He can just as we'll be
cured as to suffer on. Without going
into details it is only necessary to say
that DR.. PLoUF's RHEUMATISM CURE
will cure any case of rheumatism on
earth, if the patient will only take it.
Sent to any address, So per bottle,

Wits of some of those the remedy has
cured.

Before You Consult a Physician,

Consult common sense, and, II you make
an attempt to think once, the process will
be less painful the next time You try. 1t
will lead you to the irresistible conclusion
that things and institutions and professions
are not necessarily good because estab-
lished in the remote past. They did not
know everything in those days. They are
monuments of ignorance with their faces
turned to the past and their backs to the
future. You cannot stay the hands of
time. He who hesitates to advance with
the worlds progress in thought and action
is hopelessly left behind. Doctors form no
exception to the rule; the old schools of
medicine belong to the dead, buried past;
all hope is centered In the new Histoge-
netic System of Medicine.

SEATTLE, June q, 1891.
My mother was taken with la grippe last
spring in its most violent form which
rapidly developed into consumption. She
had most terrible cough, raised pus con-
stantly and we despaired of her recovery.
We sent for my brother in California as we
did not know how long she might live.
When We realized her condition we sent
for DR.. Jordan and at once began giving
her his prescription. In two weeks she
was out of bed, greatly to the surprise OF
everyone who was acquainted with the
case. In two months she is better than
she has been in two years. This and other
experiences with the Histogenetic Medi-
cine, convinces US that it is the only medi-
cine to use. Anyone wishing to know
more of this case may inquire of

Rare Old MANUSCRIPTS.

Christopher Columbus wrote a letter
to Luis de SAINT Angel, Escribaao de
Racion, of the Kingdom of Aragon, and
it was dated February Is, 1893. 1t told
all about the discovery of America and
was penned by the discoverer oc board
his ship when it was off the Canary
Islands. At that time Columbus had no
idea copy of it would be worth $3.50,
but that is the price Bernard A. Qua
rich holds it at to-day, aud he has the
original copy that was found in Spain
eighteen months ago by Spauiard. 1t
was sold to q French bookseller for
small sum and then passed into the hands
of the bibliophile, Bernard Quaritch, of
London. Its great value lies in the fact
that it is the first document in existence
that tells of the discovery of America.
There have been Latin translations found
twenty-five years ago, but it was not
known until two years ago that a Span
ish translation was ever printed.
In 5000 words he tells Of the strange
country he thought was Asia, the natives
and their habits, both in trade and man
ner of living, Of the great riches, and he
signs himself 1.-The Admiral" The copy
has been preserved in an old manuscript.
bearing the date Of 1896 The transla-
ton is by Michael Krarney. Among the
other rare books Mr.. Quaritch now has
in his room at the Auditorium Hotel is
an Aztec picture chronicle of Champo'
allan. 1t was written on leaves of
coarse paper, made from the maguey
fibre at TezcucO in 1929. 1t is thought
to have been prepared as an assertion Of
the claims of Emperor Ixtilxoch H., the
last King of Texcuco, who lost his king
dom just before the arrival of Cortez,
and by whom he was established.
This copy was preserved in Mexican
convent and passed into the hands of
Brasseur de Bourbourg, and later to Al
phonso Pinot. It's commercial value is
$1,000. Another rare book is the deed
of Nobility" printed in Granada in 1898.
1t contains a striking likeness of Philip
H., painted by the hand on vellun. The
original manuscript now iu the city Is
worth $3.50.

An Immoral Flock.
certiser.

A pigeon-hying experiment at Tours
has ended in a most remarkable man.
ner, proving the shocking fact that the
useful birds, IN addition 10 being ex-
cessively greedy, are also given to an
over-indulgence in strong drinks. Four
hundred and twenty-nine pigeons we're
conveyed by train from Tours to La
Behalle, and there let loose. To the
establishment of the various societies in
terested in the experiment, only forty
returned home, and these were in a
dazed condition and quite incapable of
finding their respective quarters.
An inquiry resulted in the discovery
that at a roadside station a large con-
signment of black currants had been put
in the same van as the birds. The
inebriating qualities Of the currsnt juice
proved too much for the little travellers,
and they we're quickly in such a con-
dition that only small proportion we're
sober enough to find their way back to
Tours.-LOndop Times.
