Of all cases of consumption can, if taken III
the earlier stages OF the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in Use for its treatment as, nasty cod

of malt, whiskey, different preparations OF

living witnesses to the fact that, III all its

disease. Not every case, but a large per-

and extreme elu~aciatiou and weakness.
DO vou doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance. been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them. and who were often

SoUA5BLES IN DISTRICT COURTS.
Application for - Perpetual ~yniunctton TO
Prevent % Foreclosure.

Some idea of the queer squatbles in
which the tradesmen of the east side are
continually INDUCING can be obtained
by visiting a district court, says the n.
I. Hsrdid.
A peculiar condition Of afairs was re-
vea!cd recently when Il lawyer made ap-
piicatiOn To restrain the foreclosure or a
mortgage on his clients drug store.
The client and the man who held the
mortgage had been partners in the
ownership OF the place up to last Janua-
ry.
Then they dissolved partnership.
When al accounting was lad it was
found that the client, who may be called
Brown, was indebted to Smith in the
sum OF 81, 100. So Smith assigned his
interest in the establishment to Brown
and the latter thus became sole owner
after executing in chattel mortgage, for
the amount OF his debt to his former
partner.
1t was also agreed that Smith should
act as a drug clerk for Brown at a
stated salary. The druggist was also
to pay a certain amount per month to
his clerk toward the settling of the
mortgage. Should Brown violate the
agreement ia any way it was the drug
clerks privilege TO foreclose the mort
gage at once.
Now comes the odd condition of af-
fairs. Smith, who had been a model
clerk when he was part owner OF the
drug store. started in to show by his
actions that his employer wasn't in it,
He refused TO serve customers, told those
that he did serve that the store did not
contain what they wanted, even when it
did, and when told to GO on errands TO
wholesale houses for drugs absolutely
declined to do so.
There were several other ways in
which he, according to ~afiidavits sub
mitted by Brown, attempted to injure
instead of benefit the business. and at
last Brown could stand it no longer, so
he threatened to discharge the clerk.
This was the latter's opportunity. He
told his employer that his discharge
would be equivalent to a violation OF
their agreement and that he would at
once foreclose the mortgage if such an
affront were put on his dignity.
In despair the druggist hurried to
his attorney and the result was an APP
plication in due fora to the court. asking
that Smith be perpetually ~enjoined and
restrained from foreclosing the mort
gage he held. Before the hearing was
had, however. the trouble was amicably
adjusted.

BILLIARDS AS AN EXERCISE.

Many women who are in need OF
daily pedestrian exercise find il diff.
cult to obey the injunctions of their
medical men. This is particularly true
In the case Of invalids whose condition
may be such as to make it dangerous
to brave the peril of an outdoor walk.
For these billiards at home forms an
agreeable and ready means of securing
needed exercise, while at the same
time distracting the mind from bodily
ailments. A daily walk and recreation
may in this way be secured, no matter
what the weather. Billiard and pool
were never SO popular as at present,
particularly the latter game, and pool
parties" with prizes for fine playing,
will be one of the features of society
this winter. a cue, prettily inlaid and
marked with the date of the entertain
