WHAT 1T REALLY IS.
The Most Dangerous of Modern Dis
orders Clearly De1ned-Pneumonfa.
and What Causes 1t.

The Most Dangerous of Modern Dis
orders Clearly De1ined-Pneumonia,
and What Causes 1t.
There has been a great mistake as to what
pneumonia really is People and even some
physicians, have called it a dangerous disease
Pneumonia is always an after effect If the
system Is run down, weakened, debiIitated if
the life is at low ebb, the lungs may fill up
and the person die suddenly and it is called
pneumonia. No man or woman ever died of
Gus and healthy. 1t comes upon one when
weakened by grip, by a severe cold or over
work and a generally weakened condition.
Such beng the case, how can this dreadful
trouble known as pneumonia be prevented or
warded off? Mani1estly, by Strengthening
and fortlfylng the body by having the health
and strength so secure that pneumonia will
not attack, or If it should, can easily be
warded OIL. This can be done by careful liv-
lng careful diet and q moderate use of q pure
stlmulant. To gently assist nature a stimu-
liant is required, something that adds 10 the
life and vigor. Nothing for this purpose can
equal pure whisky, and it should be borne in
mind that the only pure and medicinal
whisky which has received the unqualified
lndorsement of physicians and scientists is
Duhy's Pure Mali. 1t is no ordinary whisky
but possesses properties known to no other
article. 1t will ettectually ward off pneumonia
and has saved the lives of thousands Of peo-
pie. 1T should be remembered, no Wever, that
it is the only whisky which can accomplish
| tins, and any druggist or grocer who seeks to
convince you TO the contrary is deCeiYing
Insist upon having Dutfy'S Pure Malt.

PATIENCE OF A GREAT ARTIST
Variableness of Public Opinion in Re-
gard to Pictures.

''Corot liked to relate the history of his
pictures. Some of them had very strange
and different fortunes, says Camille Thur
wanger, the godson of the great painter,
IN the Neao England Magazine. Zone ex-
h1blted in the Salon Of 1851 was badly
hung in a room near the stairs; every
body passed it without stopping. One day
Corot, seeing that nobody paid any atten-
ton to his landscapes, had the fancy of
standing and looking at it, thinking to
himself that people are like flies, and as
soon as one lights on dish, the others
VIII follow at once; my presence will per-
maps attract the passers-by.' Indeed, a
young couple approached, and the gentle
man said: That is not bad, it seems to
NE that there is something in it, But
the lady, who had a sweet expression,
pulled him away, saying: 1t is frightful,
come alongr And l said to myself'
added Corot, are you satisfied that you
now know the opinion of the public? So
much the worse for youp That very
picture, after waiting several years in his
studio without tempting buyer, found
an audacious one-as Corot called him
at last, who took it for seven hundred
francs, and the purchaser was so happy
TO have it that he gave fete to celebrate
It's acquisition. L was kindly invited
there said Corot, and received abun-
dance of compliments; still, the painting
was the same as before, when nobody
wanted it'D

''That is precisely where you are mis-

you merely follow colloquial usage in

not accurate to speak of mosquitoes

of food are truly interesting, especially
when he is operating ON some other per
sons epidermis. He carries with him a
remarkable kit of tools, consisting of
two saws, lance and a pump. With
the lance a puncture is made in the skin,
but the perforation is not wide enough
for the insertion of the pump, which is
to transfer portion of your blood to the
insects stomach. So the saws are in
troduced and they commence to widen
the puncture. 1t is the operation of the
saws which causes the irritation to
which you allude as bite. You see,
my dear, how inaccurate it is to talk of
a mosquitoes bite. Don't your
