DEATH BY STARVATION.
How 1t Feels to Go, Day After Day, With
out Anything to Eat.

For the first two days through which q
strong and healthy man is doomed to exist
upon nothing his sutferings are perhaps
more acute than in the remaining stages.
flc feels an inordinate, unspeakablo cray
ing at the stomach night and day. The
mind runs upon beef, bread and other
substances but still, in a great measure,
the body retains its strength.
ON tho third and fourth days, but espe-
cjaliy on ,ho fourth, this incessant cray
ing gives place to a sinking and weakness
of the stomach, accompanied by nausea.
The unfortunate sufferer still desires food,
but with loss of strength he loses that
eager craving which is felt in the earlier
stages.
Should he chance to obtain morsel or
two of food he swallows it with a wolfish
avidity. But five minutes aftorward his
sufferings are moro intense than ever. He
feels as if he had swallowed a living lob
ster, which is clawing and feeding upon
the very foundation of his existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly ap-
pear hollow and sunken, his body attcnu-
ated, his color is ashy pale and his eyes
wild, CLASSY and cannibalistic. Tho differ
ent parts of the system now war with each
other. The stomach calls upon the legs to
go with it in quest of food; the legs, from
weakness, refuse.
The sixth day brings with it increased
suffering, although the pangs of hunger
are lost in an overpowering langour and
sickness. The head becomes giddy; the
ghosts Of well remembered dinners pass in
hideous professions through the mind.
The seventh day comes, bringing in
creased lassitude and further prostration
Of strength. Tho arms hang listlessly; the
| legs drag heavily The desire for food is
still left, to a degree, but it must be
| brought, not sought. The miserable rem
| nant of life which hangs to the sufferer is
| a burden almost too greyous to be borne.
Yet his inherent existence induces desire
| still to preserve it if it can be saved with
| out tax on bodily eXertion.
Tho mind wanders. AT one moment he
| thinks his weary limbs cannot sustain
| him Il mile; tho next he is endowed with
unnatural strength, and, if there be GER
tainty of relief before him, dashes bravely
and strongly forward, wondering whence
proceeds his new and sudden impulse

A PEOPLE QE FEW WORDS.

"Let your speech be yea, yea and nav. nav >,
says the Good Book, "for whatsoever is more
than these cometh OF eyil.'' The Shakers
abide by the spirit of this rule. Their word, ,
are few, simple, sincere and direct They
waste no energy in idle talk; they use il in
thinking and doing. And whatever the . the ?
do with their might. They are content with
nothing short of the essence and principles of
the things they investigate. They take pains
and are patient. And thus the doors of MANY
strange truths open to them. In this way
they discovered what may almost be Gale 1
the unity of disease. venerable Shaker
says Of it: 1T is said that one mans meat is
another mans poison. That is but half the
truth. InB mans meat is dag mans poison,
under certain conditions. If the grain
never got further than the hopper we
should never have bread; and il bread
never got further than the stomach we
should never have strength. When the stom-
ach IS torpid, helpless and iniamed the food
lies in it and rots. This fermentation prod ices
poisons which may, and often do, disorder
every other organ and function of the body.
This is dgestIoa or dyspepsia, with many
symptoms and disguises. Cure it and you
cure nina -tenths of our CONF aints." These
words were uttered many years ago. Since
then they have found a remedy, now known as
The Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by them. 1t
IS TO I'd and digests other foods. Taken while
Eating it rests the stomach and nourishts the
system. The pains and dstresses o. dyspep-
sia disappear before it, 1t prevents ferme pta-
zion and soon restores fail power TO the

AN HONEST DOLLAR.

The following striking letter Wae
published IN the Chicago InteG- Ocean
three or four days ago. The man who
signs it Is many times a millionaire

firms in the world:

1t is that money which has intrln-
sic value, measured by labor in its
production, which is the ultimate test
of cost or price.
In that sense both gold and silver
are by nature adapted for money uses
by the Creator. This is proved by
actual test of all ages, until 1872 and
1873, when the United States and
Germany elected a new element in
the relation of money and commodi-
ties by the force of law, viz: giving
the gold only the money function,
and putting silver in the list of com
modities to be exchanged by and in
civilized nations by the amount OF
silver in the world, and to decrease the
medium of exchange for all by the
same amount-puttlng more than q
double burden upon gold as the only
money to settle balances of trade.
Right here it is pertinent to enforce
our inquiry with another us thu

years had his regular interest on his
bonds, and when paid in gold can
turn round and tuy twice as much
property Of all kinds with his gold as
he could have done il silver had been
retained as money. He has had his
increment in the increased value OF
gold also, and the United States is
the loser by that increment in value
caused entirely by the decentralization
Of silver,
There is no escape from this prop
osition as the result Of law. Who
made this law and why?. Honest
men wanting to pay honest debts in
the same money they were contracted
for, or deluded men, not to say dis
honest, who planned law to pro-
duce such result2
Would Germany and France, who
owned the most Of that large United
States debt, have demonetised silver
as holders of our bonds if we had not
done it first?
Would any honest American ask it,
after the burdens Of the war had been
oorne without u murmur, knowing
that such would be the result?
This Is an object lesson, from ma

Thirty years Of law has made one

This is another OBJECT lesson as tt
