Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelve-months-old child, suffering
from infantile diarrhea, to me. 1t had
been weaned at four months old and
had always been sickly. l gave it the
usual treatment in such cases but with
out benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
l then started the father to giving
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Dr.
arrhea Remedy. Before one bottle Of
the % cent size had been used very
marked improvement was seen and
its continued use cured the child. It's
weakness and puny constitution dis
appeared and its father and myself be-
lieve the child's life was saved by this
Remedy. J.T. MARROW, NJ. D., Tam

The keystone of the Arch

In the edifice of health is vigor, which means
not merely muscular energy, but an active
discharge OF the various functions OF the
body, such as digestion. secretion OF the bile,
the action of the bowels, the circulation OF
the blood. Nothing more actively and thor
oughly contributes TO the united performance
OF these functions than the renowned tonic
and regulator, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The result Of its use is speedy gain In
strength, together with the agreeable con-
seriousness that the tenure OF life Is being
strengthened-that one is laying up store of
vitality against the unavoidable draughts
which old age makes upon the system. The
Certifying influence OF the Bitters constitute
IL a reliable safeguard against malaria. rheu-
matism and kidney trouble. Appetite and
sleep improve through its use, and 1t protects
the system from the effects OF cold nd,damp.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the

Mysterious Poisoning.

The physicians attached to the State
Hospital at Blossburg, Pa, are trying
to solve the mystery surrounding pc
culiar cases of apparent poisoning that
have been brought to their attention.
A few days ago Jacob Rynska of Bloss-
burg, died presumably from the effects
of a bite from some insect, as he stated
that he felt sting under his eye soon
after going to bed. He died two days
afterward. Since that time there have
been three similar cases in that town,
one of them proving fatal. In the
case of Rymska the patients head
swelled to enormous proportions, and
his death was caused by sufocation
occasioned by the terrible swelling
Last week Henry Dyke, of Rich
mond, was taken to the State Hospital
suffering from the effects of apoisonous
bite on the top of his bald head. His
eyes were swollen shut, his head was
greatly swollen and it was considered
a dangerous case, although he now
seems to be improving.
Joseph Wituski, workman in the
Blossburg tannery, thought he was
bitten on the cheek by a mosquito re-
Gently, but the small pimple continued
to swell until the mans head was a
s;o,bt m hebold He suffered terrible
pain, but recovered.
The three-year-old child of Jacob
Losiniecki, also of Blossburg, died Tues-
day from the same cause. A small
pimple appeared under the child's left
eye. Two days later the little one 5
head was swollen to remarkable pro-
portions and death followed in great
agony.
In all Of the four cases mentioned
there was a small pimple discharging
a watery fluid and the head of the pa
tient swelled to a remarkable size. In
the fatal cases the bodies turned to a
dark color almost Immediately after
death. 1t is reported that number
of cattle have died in that region late
ly with the same mysterious symptoms.
The physicians are unable toexplain
the matter. DR.. Crandal, Of the State
Hospital, says he has had considerable
experience in spider bites, but the
symptoms in these cases are entirely
different. The people Of the neighbor-
hood are excited, some claiming that
a poisonous fly has been imported,
while others maintain that it isa plague,
and not the bite of an insect.

GOLD AND GOLD BUGS.

1t may be conceded that if you get
the quantity Of money in the country
down to the lowest amount on which
it is possible to transact the ordinary
business, then as you still further di-
minish this amount you will increase
the purchasing power of what is left.
But there is no accurate means of de-
termining what this minimum amount
of money is, or of stating the proper
ton between the diminution in quantl-
ty and the increase in value The
opponents of the gold standard say
that gold is peculiarly well fitted for
being boarded, whereby the quantity
in circulation is diminished and its
value consequently increased; and that
the gold standard thus places us at the
mercy of "Wall Street. which with
draws money from circulation in order
to make it more valuable; and that
when this is done it steps in and reaps
the benefit at our expense.
Many people believe such assertions
as this because they sound fairly plaus-
ible; but they are not so plain when
you come to consider all that they IN
volve. For example, man who
boards money necessarily loses inter-
est on it. If he could have loaned 1t
at six per cent, then its value must
increase at least six per cent per annum
to save him from absolute loss. Now
Wall Street is composed Of business
men; however great rascals they may
be, they won't put their money into
either stockings or gold bonds unless
they have reason to believe they will
:
make a profit on the transaction. Can
you think of any reliable source Of IN
formation that boarded money will
appreciate at the rate of at least SIX,
OF any other per cent per annum? If
YOU know nothing about it, and don t
know where to find it out, isn't it
little unreasonable to assume without
further investigation that Wall Street
knows how to satisfy itself on this
point?
There is another point to be noticed.
The theory is that the goldbug boards
gold until it has appreciated sufficiently
to crafty his avarice and then he
spends it. For this purpose there is
no difference between gold and wheat.
Do you think that the price of wheat
would continue to 90 up, no matter
how little there was left Ill the farmers
granaries, if every one knew that a
few operators had millions Of bushels
in elevators, ready to unload as soon
as the price reached satisfactory fig
ure? Would not this hoard Of wheat
itself keep the price down? Now the
amount of gold boarded can be de-
termined just as accurately as the
wheat in the elevators, and the gold
can be gotten on to the market vast
deal quicker than the wheat can. The
assumption is that when gold is hoard
ed and thus removed from circulation,
the value of what Is left will advance
to the same extent as if the boarded
gold was entirely destroyed but this
is plainly absurd,
The gold standard has no doubt
many defects and disadvantages. But
the above considerations would indi-
cate that it does not put us so COM
pletely in the power of the gold bug,
Whoever they may be-as many un-
thinking people assume that it does.

George C. Krause. a well-known
citizen of Winsted, Conn, has been
driven insane by the fear of lightning
bugs. He had Authorizations as to
prosecutors who flew through the air
and conspired against him, but he did
not become actually crazy until he
realized that the lightning-bug season
had arrived. He had information
from private sources that his enemies
had hired large number of the bugs,
which at a specified time were to
swoop down upon him and, by perch
ing all over his body, burn him up.
He went into the woods to hide from
the relentless bugs, which he believed
were to mobilize at the town hall. He
ate ravenously of weeds and roots,
which, he said, were an antidOte to
the bites of lightning-bugs. He has
been sent to the asylum for the insane.

PIERCE aS sss,' a CURE
OR MONEY RETURNED.

A cyclone in New York and New
Jersey on Saturday caused the death
of six persons and destroyed a large
amount of property. The cyclone
swept over Cherry Hill, n. j., and be-
sides rendering twenty-five families
homeless, killed FIVE persons outright.
The depot was picked up and carried
nearly 200 feet, and then fell on the
opposite side of the track. The storm
struck the northern portion of New
York city, and the heavy wind, rain
and hail were both appalling and de-
structive, though fortunately no one
was killed. Woodhaven, L. l., suf-
fered severely, thirty houses having
been blown down and one woman
killed. The storm wasa also destructive
in many portions of Connecticut, the
large hailstones doing much damage.

move at an hour notice. The actual
necessity for their presence was never

her children in another room. She
had been sick for long time, and 1t
is supposed she was insane. She sent
her eldest daughter, aged nine, to visit
a relative. Then she hung her daugh-
ter Ella, aged three years, to the bed
post, and tied towel about the neck
of her baby and hung it up on the post
Of its crib. After that she hung her
self. When discovered all were dead
except the baby, and it was chewing
the towel with which it was tied.
