rlPH'IHE:RIA

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases Diphtheria.
It is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners thai nine out of ten
eases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Bovinine.
This great blood generating, life-main-
tanning, strength-developing and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat,
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, it becomes an absolute neces-
sity. In the worst cases. where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Boviniae
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine is in itself a germicide. and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilli.
Bovinine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of a speedy recovery. To neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Bovinine is sold by all Druggists.

Liberal Catholicism.

In the archdiocese of st. Paul a Catholic
is now at liberty to become member OF
the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythlas,
or any other secret society, the Masonic
excepted. We suppose that Arch bishop
Ireland's continuance of the inh1 bition
against the Masonic order rests upon the
tradition that in certain countries of
continental Europe it has been used as
u revolutionary or anti-Papal force We
know nothing as to the truth of the ira
dition, but we do know that in England.
America, and in all the English speaking
countries the Masonic order is a non par
tisan, non-political association of very
respectable gentlemen.
However, it is long step forward that
and government inspector of HulIs for
the district of Duluth.
The syndicate offered to insure his life
or $40. 900, pay him 81, 500 in cash before
one-half of the net returns from the
wreck if he would make the effort to
recover the cargo on the sunken Pewabic.
Diver Chalk is a widower, and has one
child. He refused the offer of the syn
dictate.
But the matter was not dropped. The
spot where tine Pewabic went down was
marked by the buoy, and the syndicate
awaited events. Now comes George W.
Brooke of Harrisburg, Pa, a diver, who
has invented an apparatus for deep water
diving and a method of raising sunken
huIls. He has made contract to dive
for the Pewabic wreck, on the basis of
one-haIf the value of the value of the
cargo, and an assurance of $50 600 to his
family if he loses his life. He Will un-
dertake the work next spring.
