practice Of medicine and in the treatment of
human ills. Instead of undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality
is now sustained in every possible manner.
Instead of tearing down we seek to build up.
Instead of increasing misery We seek to create
happiness.
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford to endure the ridicule of the
world for revealing to it the grand discovery
of the circulation of the blood. Jenner might
be ostracised, but millions have benefited By
his discovery of vaccination. Pasteur lived in
a more enlightened age and escaped ridicule,
while the world received the benefit which his
discoveries have brought. Koch, although
forced to reveal his discovery before its perfec-
ton, will be revered by future generations.
The discoveries OF these great men have been
of untold benefit to the world. and yet they
were not in the line of the worlds greatest
need. Mankind has been suffering, enduring,
dying from a cause far greater than smallpox,
more terrible than hydrophobia and more

and told her all. He told her how he had
found the boy dying in the mountain, and how
he had done all he could to soothe his last
hours, and how, instead of giving her back her
living child he was compelled to surrender him
dead.
She listened without word. She reached
up and took the body from Sandy Morgan's s
arms and slowly turned back. She could have
run the distance in few minutes, but she
walked as slowly as possible.
She was giving the scout. who had been kind
to her child. all the time she could. Morgan
knew this and made the most of it. He went
off like an arrow shot from an Indian bow. He
rode like the wind down the trail made by the
troops, and knew that no redskin could over
take him.
And none did. They did not even follow
him. He had outwitted Spotted Tail, and
when, some days later, he rode into the new
camp of the soldiers, he was received as one
risen from the dead, and told his story to q
group of breathless officers.

subtle than consumption. The habits Of modern
life, the very inventions which have made
civilization so great. have drained the vital
forces Of life and undermined the organs that
sustain life. Ten years ago this great truth
was realized by gentleman whose own life
was in sore jeopardy. and the discovery which
he has given TO the world has dore and is
doing more to day to strengthen the vitality,
lessen suffering, preserve the health, and
lengthen life than any of the discoveries OF
the other great men above mentioned. The
discovery referred to was made by 1fr. Fl. II.

Europe, in America. and throughout the world
as Warmers Safe Cure.
1t may perhaps be thought that the above
assertion is an extrsyagant one, and so il would
be were not the unquestiouable proofs present
to verify it, Within the past few years the
claims made more than ten years ago have
been admitted by the highest scientific authori-
ties. both in Europe and America, and 10 is

remarkable reproduced statements, together

One which affects our very lives and happiness
Formerly the treatment of human ills was
made matter of superstition, of incantation,
tho same as it is by tho medicine men of tho
Indians to-day. Gradually emerging from
such blindness, it was still a matter of bigotry,
of folly. What people must have suffered in
those days can scarcely be imagined. They
were bled. they we're cupped, they were leeched,
they were subjected to every device whereby
their vitality could be reduced and their lives
endangered. 1t is almost wonder that the
race survived.
