ANO hOoAehJ pOioOu HCCO lear any
dangerous consequences from an
attack of la grippe if properly
treated. 1t is much the same as a
severe cold aud requires precisely
the same treatment. Remain qui-
city at home and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy az directed
for a severe cold and prompt and
complete recovery Is sure to follow.
This remedy also counteracts any
tendency of la grippe to result in
pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it during
the epidemlcs of the past two years
we have yet to learn of a single
case that has not recovered or that
has resulted in pneumonia, rs and

A Chicago paper makes it point
of keeping tally of homicides, sui
cides, legal executions and lynch
ings in all the States. The muir
der record rose to the frightful
number in 1891 of 5000, or 16 for
every single day of the year, against
4, 200 in 1890. OF course many of
these in both years were justifiable
homlcides, or of less grade than
wi full murder. Justice claimed as
its reprisal for the 5,907 killings in
1891 no fewer than 1913 legal exc
cutions, of which only 50 were
white, 65 negroes, and 8 Indians.
Judge Lynch was responsible for
taking of 1875 victims. The South
practices the lynch cult to far
greater extent than the North, and
Louisiana leads the Union in the
practice of the art with 20. Ofthe
lynching 121 were negroes, 70
whites, 2 Indians and 2 Chinese.
The suicides of the year are also
given at 1881, of which 2,64O were
males and 691 females. OF these
1,149 took their own lives through
dependency, 449 of insanity, 254
of liquor, 220 of domestic infelicity,
1876 of disappointed love, 1875 of i'll
health and 81 of business losses.
Not only has Mountain Lake
Park gained reputation as a sue.
cessful summer resort. but it is
rapidly taking a position as one of
the most favored health resorts in
the Allegheny mountains. Among
the letters received by the Park
management, we find the following:
"Last January l had a severe at
tack of la grippe followed by re-
lapse. In March had second at
tack, which left me with a very
badly congested liver. As time
passed on, l grew worse. Medicine
did me no good. l became very
weak and emaciated. About the
first of June my physician advised
a change Of air. On account of
my physical condition, friends were
afraid to have me undertake jour-
ney, but as the d ctor insisted that
the only chance to save my life was
to go away, and even that might
fail to effect cure. it was decided
that l should be taken to one of
the mineral springs in West Vir-
ginia. June 10th | was carried
down stairs and to the B. & o. R.
R. depot and placed on the train to
60 to Mountain Lake Park, in
charge of DR.. Baird, where | was
to rest for few days, and then
continue my journey. l reached
the Park in decidedly weak con-
dition and unconscious of the trip.
| refused to take medicine and in
about two weeks l was able to be up
and walk around. | rapidly re-
gained my health. The invigorat-
ing atmosphere, the pure water and
my general life for the following
two months made me a well man.
| am now enjoying excellent health,
which | attribute to my visit to
Mountain Lake Park. 1t is need
less to say, that I did not 60 to the
mineral springs of West Virginia"
