Diseases are more prevalent than generally
supposed, and among them all none is more
horrible than Syphilis. Indeed If not checked
in time, it becomes even more horrible in it's
secondary and tertiary stages than leprosy
itself. Many doctors suppress this terrible
disease by filling their patients systems with
mercurial poison, with that damnable curse
from which your children as well as yourself
will suffer, but DOCTOR SWEANY warrants

out injurious drugs. He also effects a speedy
cure in all cases OF elect, Gonorrhea, in1am-

Dr.. Dangllsk, an Edinburgh ply
sician, discovered q way OF making
bread without the use Of yeast In
1850. II soon became known -
aeratsd bread, and the new process
OF bread making became more or less
common. Aerated bread Is made
from dough that has been raised BY
the mechanical Introduction Of car.
bon dioxide. DR.. Danglisk's process
consisted In using water charged
with carbon dioxide In place Of yeast,
and in mixing the -four and water by
o mechanical continuance instead OF
by hand. BY doing away with the
use Of yeast the evils Of mentation
and deterioration IRE avoided, and
the aerated bread Is said to be more
nutritious and more digestible than
ordinary yeast bread. Another I'D.
vantage Is that II can be made In one

FRANKLIN Invented Iron ceai Stoves

One OF the very first attempts d
making an iron stove was by Count
or Cardinal Polignac, Of France, early
in the eighteenth century. The 70.
suits OF his efforts were simply iron
fireplaces, constructed with hollow
backs. hearths and iron jambs; the
only improvement 1t showed over the
old fireplace was in a slight saving Of
heat. In the year 1916 DR.. Desaug.
liers, OF London, improved the Polig.
nae fireplaces to such an extent that
they could be used for burning coal
rs we'll as wood.
DR.. Franklin's stove, invented in
the year 1745, was great improve
ment on everything In the stove line
that had preceded 1t. The principles
upon which IL was constructed were
similar to the alright stoves intro
duced many years later. Indeed, 10
is believed that had 1t been possible
at that time for founders to make
tight.ftting castings the Franklin
experiment would have been alright.
About the year 1875 (there Is some
dispute about the exact date) DR..
franklin improved his stove so rs to
make II suitable to the consumption
OF common bituminous coal. In 17S2
Benjamin Thompson Count Rum

Frankiin's designs. In 1898 J. j..
Mott made the first stove that would
burn anthracite coal. Since the last
named date hundreds Of inventors
have taken part in bringing the stove
up to It's present perfection.
