AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.

People who lose flesh are in danger Of
consumption. Light weight is too often
n sign of some wasting disease" which
gets its start from indigestion. Cure the
indigestion and health is rapidly re-
gained
Paskola, the pre-digested food, prevents
indigestion by it's wonderful invjgorating
and nutritive properties. For loss Of
vigor, dull feelings, headaches, constipa-
ton, sour risings and other symptoms Of
dyspepsia it is a sovereign cure.
Paskola rapidly increases the weight.
Under its nourishing power the hectic
flush soon leaves the consumptive's cheek,
the skin assumes the hue of health, the
night sweats cease the cough dies away,
aud the emaciation is lost under coating
Of solid, warm and normal flesh.
Paskola is not a medicine but a food,
pleasant to the taste and agreeable to the
weakest stomach. Being pre-digested it
is absorbed by the system the instant it is
swallowed.
A pamphlet giving full particulars
about Paskola will be sent on application

ii flung Changes staff On a recent in.
spection tour the viceroy referred the ap-
plication to the emperor The latter found
himself unable to refuse, but he insisted
that the minister first pass difficult lit
erary examination which he failed to do.
The emperor then degraded him in the
Han Lin academy, and stripped him of
his official rank, reducing him four
grades, from the red button to the white
button. He was thus punished for crimes
which were not alluded to in his sentence.
The correspondent of The Times at
Tientsin declares that the report that
the rank and privileges of the viceroy, Ii
Hung Chang, have been reducedby i'm
perial command is untirely unfounded.
The report that the Chinese General
Len was killed in battle with japanese
at Yashan is also declared to be untrue.
A further denial is made of the report
that the Chinese steamer hwangui has
been sunk.
The English colony in .Tientsin have
signed a petition to the home govern
ment requesting that British gunboats be
sent to that port to prevent panics.
The Chinese government has ordered
all the authorities throughout the en-
pire to protect foreigners and mission
aries.
The emperor has directed that levy be
made on the various viceroys for war
tribute.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The Times publishes
letter from Pekin which tells in detail
Of the emperor's chatting against the
leading strings of the dowager empress
and of his constant struggle to take the
government in his own hands The writer
says that the emperor's knowledge Of
English leads him to encourage long talks
with foreign diplomats, with the result
that the diplomatic service is becoming
popular. His majesty has taken the mat.
ter of official appointments largely into
his own hands, and is supporting in q
great measure the grand council.
The emperor is very severe on cases OF
official wron0doing. An instance of his
severity is found in the case of former
minister to Washington. The minister,
finding that punishment for his corrup.
tion while in the United States was in
evitable, appealed for an appointment on
