GEN. BUTLER's BRAIN

Four Ounces Heavier Than Webster
and Perhaps the Heaviest on Record
The autopsy of Gen. Butler showed
that the brain was four ounces heavier
than that of Daniel Webster. DIR. Gil
ley, the generals physician, made the
autopsy. He refused to give the exact
weight, whether il was sixty-two or
siXty-eight ounces. Webster's brain
weighed fifty-eight ounces, but physi-
clans estimated that six ounces had
been destroyed by disease and the use
of alcohol. If compared with the
weight of Webster's brain at death,
Gen. Buffers brain is next to the
heaviest on record. Ifeompared TO the
estimated normal weight of Webster's
brain, Gen. Buffers would be first
among the brains whose weight has
been recorded. Cuvier's brain, the
heaviest on record, weighed sixty-fve
ounces.
The average weight of the brain in
men is about forty-nine ounces. The
brain of Edward II. Ruloff, the CLASH
cal criminal, who was hanged on May
10, 1871, for one OF his many murders,
weighed fifty-nine ounces. Its great
weight was due to an enlargement of
the lower part, the upper part, where
the moral qualities are supposed to re-
side, being very deficient. Rulof is
the man who united a love for phil
ology, an intimate knowledge of Greek,
and not a little learning of various
sorts, including acquaintance with law,
with a propensity to kill people who
stood i'm his way. Criminals ordinarily
have small brains, but RulofFs was
next to the heaviest on record at the
time. Gen. Buffers brain now takes
the second place, and possibly the first. |

Lord Bacon gave the world some ex-

Patent medicines differ-One has
reasonableness, another has not. One
has reputation, another has not. One
has confidence, born of success-an-
, other has only dhopes."
Don't take it for granted that all
patent medicines are alike. They are
not. Let the years of uninterrupted
success and the tens of thousands of
cured and happy men and women,
place DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription on the side of the comparison
to which they belong. And there isn't
a state or territory, n0-nor hardly a
country in the world, whether its peo-
pie realize it or not, bat have men and
women in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and their
effects.
Think Of this in health. Think of it
in sickness, And then think whether
you can afford to make the trial if the
makers can afford to take the risk to
give your money back, as they do, if
they do not benefit or cure you.

CONFIDENT RESEMBLANCE.
A Remarkable Case Which Has Developed
in the Search for a Boy.

hemarkaDle Ease which Has Developed
in the Search for a Boy.
An extraordinary fact, and which for
want of a better title l have decided to
call a case Of "coincident resemblance, +"
has developed at Salt Lake City. About
1880 Bryce r. Blair, whose parents are
prominent people of Carbondale. Pa,
event west" to seek fame and fortune.
He wrote home regularly until about the
spring of 1884, the last letter bearing the
postmark Of Marysvale, U. t., the con-
tents stating that he was at that time on
the eve of departure for Idaho. Since
that time, for more than eight long and
agonizing years. nothing has come to the
Blair family which told them aught of
the whereabouts Of the prodigal.
During all this time the father has
hoped and the mother has wept for the
sons return or some tidings from the
missing one, but no tidings came. FL
nally, more in order to be doing some
thing than anything else, the elder Blair
inserted notice in one of the Salt Lake
papers. This advertisement infinitely
described the missing "boy," even TO his
age, size, weight, bodily peculiarities,
such as his being left handed. etc.
Within the following fortnight the
Carbonate people received a letter from
a man residing in the Mormon Mecca,
stating that he knew one Bryce r. Blair,
who answered the description of the
missing Pennsylvania in minutest de-
tails, and that said Blair was a resident
of Lander, Wy. For once in the eighth
of century the broken hearted Blair
family breathed more easily. A second
letter from the Salt Lake informant men
toned the left handedness of "Blair, of
Lander" and also stated that to his per-
sonal knowledge the young man had been
in Wyoming about eight or nine years.
So far the descriptions tailed to T,
but Blair, ST., was unable to account for
his sons long continued silence. The
clew was followed up, but judge of the
surprise created when Blair found that
the Wyoming man was a perfect coun-
terpart Of his son in every particular,
except that he was another man! The
Lander Blair said that his parents lived
in Nebraska, and That he was in weekly
communication with them. Taken all
in all it is doubtful if a parallel for this
remarkable case can be found in the an
mails Of the world.
Here are two men, or would be, if the
missing Pennsylvania could be found,
both named Bryce R. Blair, Jr., both
left handed, both born on the same day
and each the bodily counterpart of the
other in every thinkable way, and yet
neither is in any way related, as far as
the two Blair families have yet been able
to ascertain.-St. Louis Republic.

Pneumonia


At no time in the history of the
country has pneumonia been so prev
alent as during the winter months of
the last two years. In times past a
common cold was not considered at all
serious, but of late years the great ten
dency of colds to result in pneumonia
has made people apprehensive. The
trouble is that colds are not always
properly treated. No preparation con-
tanning opium, wild cherry or chloro-
form should be used, as they have a
tendency to dry up a cold, whereas it
should be loosened and the lungs re-
lieved. 1t has been observed that
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is used the cold never results in pneu-
monia. The reason is that this remedy
stimulates the mucous membrane
which lines the throat and lungs, to a
healthy action, causes a free expectora-
ton, throwing off the poisonous matter
and cOunteracts any tendency toward
pneumonia. For sale by all leading
