It s fact which all leading physicians admit. that nine times out of ten a patient will recover without the assistance of a doctor. With the advance of general knowl- edge people understand better what to do Tor themselves. Medicines in themselves can not cure: Nature alone can cure but medicines help Nature. Take an illustra- ton. Let us say you have sick headaches occasionally. with dizziness. sour stomach and loss of appetite. You do not need to % to doctor. for every one will tell you it is biliousness. and that what you need is a liver pill to clean out the bowels and arouse inc torpid liver to action.
 In this case you can buy many different kinds of liver pills. but the best course is to secure the liver pills and also some TONIC PELLETS for purifying the blood and toning up the system, so that you will not be troubled again.
 You can get both of these medi. cines, in separate boxes, for one price (2s cents) if you ask your druggist for RamOn'e Tonic Liver Pills and Pe1let0. Together they cure biliousness and constipation.

NEW YgAa's AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

There was no lack Of merriment and
rejoicing at Washington yesterday. and
the White House was IL scene of more
than usual brillianCy at the New Years
reception given by the President and
Mrs. Cleveland. One feature of the cere-
mony was the presence of a large mum
Der of handsomely dressed ladies' who
filed In the background behind the
President and his wife and made II
splendid display OF costumes, Jewels and
beauty. Nothing of the hard times We
hear so much about, especially from the
politicians, was discernible at the White
House gathering.
1t was democratic, too. quite demo-
cratic In some things. The President
was glowing with good humor and jovi-
atty, and people noticed how bronzed
his good-sized solid hand was from his
few days outing, as he greeted his
visitors. male and female. and passed

Paul World reporter. "He falls down
when it comes to ordering a dinner. The
great majority Of people in this country
are brought up frugally at home, and
do not know anything but the common
est dishes. The consequence is hat
when a man goes into a restaurant for
dinner or to a hotel he gazes helplessly
at the bill of fare, and sees many things
Of which he does not know the COM
pcnent parts. He dare not order any,
thing that he is not sure Of for fear Of
ridicule, and he falls back en- roast
beef and mashed potatoes. The fact
!s, he doesn't know anything but roast
beef. Now, sir. my children are going
to know what's what when 1t comes to
eating. No roast beef ~dominationt'

How to Ascend Stairs.

The manner in which people 80 up
stairs is productive of many ailments;
and a careful observer who understands
the anatomy OF the body would not
wonder that 1t Is so. Notice how much of
the dead lift" there is about It; the
feet and legs are made to act as levers,
not only to force the weight of the
body up, but also the additional weight
which is the result of inertia. Instead of
raising the chest and animating the
body to lift It's own weight. we bend
the body nearly double, cramping the
organs, hindering free circulation and
consequently easy breathing. Painting
for breath we reach the top, but in the
effort what a spectacle We present! Go
Ing upstairs Is easy and healthful when
properly done. We shall not say that
1t will not quicken the pulse, for in this
case, as in any other exercise, the rapid
ity and force of muscular action deter
mine the rate with which the blood is
forced to and from the heart.

CORRECTING A BLUNDER.

The police of New York were naturally
surprised n not a little startled when
they heard that a w~ell-known Socialistic
agitator. Hugh O, Pentecost, was to be
appointed Assistant District : Attorney
by Col. Fellows.
1t was no secret that MI. Pentecost
had been associated with the radical
ideas Of those who are opposed to law
and order. 1t was felt that 1t was an
unwise and inexpedient policy at this
time to appoint as a public prosecutor a
man who had openly ~sympathized with
h criminals who paid the penalty OF
h law for the Haymarket murders in
Chicago.
Yesterday when the change was made
in the District = Attorneyship and Col
Fellows took the place so well filed for
the last three years by Mr.. Nicoll. Mr.
Pentecost was present and was NOT

office. II was supposed from this tha,
