Statistics compiled for the census of
1890. show that the percentage of deaths
from consumption, in the entire country, is
ZIG; from cancer and tumors. .o2i; total,
IA. The percentage for both, in the New
England States is larger; that for consump-
ton being 1928; for cancer, etc, OBS;
total, .lG3. According TO Webster, "Tuber-
cuIosis il constitutional disease character
lied by the production of tubercles in the
internal organs, and especially in the lungs,
where it constitutes the most common
variety Of pulmonary consumption
Modern Psychologists aver that consumption
is only one form of scrofuls of which tu-
bercle is the essential element. The ten
dency to scrofulous diseases is usually
hereditary, though such disease may be ac-
ouired through the action of various excit-
ing causes, all of which may be classed to-
gether as causes Of debility"
Mr.. NJ. I. Stevens of Northport. Waldo

malignant type of constitutional tuberculosis
originating from external causes. In the
late spring or early summer Of 1889, he be-
gan to suffer from pain in his left foot, at
tended with swelling and slight tenderness,
resembling rheumatism. Despite skilful
medical treatment he grew worse; and. in
the following winter, suspicious looking
swelling appeared upon his left temple.
He finally sought relief at the Massachu-
sets General Hospital, undergoing an ex-
animation by the board of surgeons of that
institution April I. 1890. They pronounced
his disease to be constitutional tuberculosis,
stating that amputstion of the affected foot

Ever Stop to Think

How much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful? 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the old familiar pictures. How
much can be done to beautify them by just
changing their old faded and stained mats
by nice new ones. These can be secured
al Quimby's Art Rooms at a trifing
cost and will do wonders in
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning as complete as possible why
not have fewoftbe old dingy dust grimmed
frames replaced with new ones2 This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come in the low priced grades. The art Of
moulding manufacture has progressed won
derfully in recent years and among the va
riety of late styles that may be seen at
Quimby's art rooms-the largest assortment
ever carried in the Kennebec Valley-are
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices, and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames.
Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until you see his mouldings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think of having new
frame for family portrait. The fiashy frame
that you bought FROM glib-tongued agent,
and thought was such splendid bargain,
has begun to show it's real quality. Its
joints are sprung, it looks old and warped
and dingy, and you feel that it was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
a fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
same amount Of money will buy you a
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade.
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
dingy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
out Of its old frame and place il in one of
these you will add much to the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire moderate priced frame You cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimby has very wide
range of mouldings at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.
