A ssPetrifyinS Spring" in Georgia.

The recent accounts Of the wonder
,ul properties Of certain creek in the
Black Hills country, which is said to
transform plants, nuts, leaves, and
sven flesh, into solid stone, reminds
me that there is a spring in Brooks
County, Georgia, which in a very short
time converts wood and several other
substances into hard rock. The peculiar
qualities Of this Georgia fountain have
been known since early in the century,
when an old "b'r hunter" accidentally
lost his knife in the basin, which has
been followed out Of the granite strata
by the ceasele:s bubbling of the water.
4 month later the old trapper again
repaired to the spring and was agree
Ibly surprised to find his favorits
tnife. The water had had no effect
ipon the bright steel, not even to this
,1tent Of leaving a speck OF rust, but

HEALTHY PEOPLE IN NO DANGER
Penusylvunia OMcial's Opinion a
to Tuberc ulosis In Cove.

Penusylvunia OHicial's Opinion as
to tuberculosis In Cove.
Secretary Edge, of the Pennsylvania
State Board Of Agriculture, made, ut
farmers institute recently, state
ment on the subject Of tuberculosis In
cows which is likely to excite surprise.
"In my practical experience Of over fif.
teen years." he said, II have not yet
found case Of tubercular consumption
In the human race which I could, by
any means, trace to tuberculosis In the
animal. At the same time do not wish
to be quoted as saying that 1t cannot
be so transmitted. but I will say that
If 1t Is transmissible the danger Is so
slight and the opportunity so seldom
occurs that it Is worse than foolish to
get up scare on account Of It In our
pOst-mortems, DR.. Bridge (State Vet
erinary Surgeon) and have taken no
precautions against contracting the dis.
ease from the animal, and yet thus far
we have entirely escaped the danger, II
any such exists. But our exemption
does not prove that persons, under pre-
cisely the same conditions, but pre-
disposed to the disease, might not have
been affected otherwise. In one case,
where DR.. Bridge and I condemned fif-
teen cows out Of a herd Of eighteen
for six or seven years one or more cows
in the herd had died each year with
precisely the same symptoms+the true
character Of the disease was not sus-
pccted until n local veterinarian called
in the State officers. The milk Of this
dairy had all been sold for consump-
ton as milk In small town Of less than
1000 inhabitants and there is no tuber-
cular consumption In the town to-day"
Secretary Edge wishes 1t to be distinct
ly understood that he does not take the
view that tuberculosis in animals and
tubercular consumption In human be-
ings are not one and the same thing,
and therefore transmissible, "but," he
adds, II do wish to be very distinctly
understood as believing that there Is
no just cause for any scare or excite
ment In relation to the matter" In fur
ther remarks on the subject Mr.. Edge
expressed the opinion that, while a per-
son In feeble health might be the vic
tim OF tubercular consumption trans
mitted from the dairy COW, a person Of
good constitution would be practically
exempt from 1t, although drinking the

8 a certain indication of impure and
impoverished blood. If your blood
could always be rich and pure, full
of the red corpuscles upon which Its
vitality depends, you would never be
weak, or
iervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt
rheum, would never trouble you.
But our mode of living, shut In all
winter in poorly ventilated homes and
shops, depletes the blood and there
is loss of appetite and weakness;
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the standard
remedy for this condition. 1t puri-
fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood,
overcomes that tired feeling, builds
up the nerves and gives perfect
health. Read this:
