NatroIithic Salts for Alcoholism,

The pleasures of the wine cup have
been imnlortalized in song and story,
but nothing short of sad experience can
paint the unpleasant sequel that follows
over-indulgence. The stimulating eff
fects of the alcohol passing away there
is left O. reaction that in some cases ap-
proac11es physical and mental collapse
The volatile alcohol has found it's way
into the blood to poison and impover-
ish 1T the nerves are relaxed and I'M
strung; the brain is congested with the
alcohol-charged blood, and throbs and
aches; the stomach is demoralized and
infamed so that food of all kinds is re-
jected; this accompanied by a burning
thirst
These symptoms are perfectly famil-
lar to all who make a practice of hard
drinking; but what is not generally
known is the serious effects alcoholism
has upon the great life trinity-the
Heart, Lungs and Liver. The first soon
becomes weakened and enlarged until
fatty degeneration supervenes, and
sudden death is always to be feared.
The poisonous blood circulating thro'
the lungs in its search for publication
by oxygen, distributes it's alcoholic poi
son to the lungs themselves. The portal
circulation through the liver leaves in
that organ much of its accumulation of
alcohol, until that vital organ becomes
saturated and degenerated and unable
to perform it's functions.
NATROLITHIC SALTS contain the
necessary ingredients to meet all of
these dangerous or diseased conditions
They correct the acid and impure gas
generated in the stomach; carry off the
foul accumulations in the alimentary
canal, and by their large proportion of
lithia and restorative salts stimulates
in healthy way the system generally,
and the brain and nervous system par
ticularly. A man who will take a dose
of NATROLITHIC SALTS the next
morning after an evening of excess,
will escape all the evil and unpleasant
effects, and will find himself renewed,
strengthened refreshed and thoroughly
Internationally for work.
Even moderate drinkers. who are
troubled with dull, heavy feeling on
arising in the morning, will find relief
and a general sensation of buoyancy-
mental as we'll as physical.

PEOPLE's Parity IN SHELTON.

Shelton, Feb. 2S.-The peoples party

Muscular Rheumatism.

Probably there is no disease that in
llicts so much continuous pain as rheu-
matism. When it becomes chronic,
there are few so hard to cure, This dis
ease is caused by an impure state OF
the blood. The impurity consists of an
excess of lethic acid, and to drive this
acid from the blood is the object of all
rational treatment.
The medical faculty have found In
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
a certain and positive cure for this ter
rible complaint. Mrs. M, Hill of Gale

Sympathy for Dunraven.

London, Feb. 2S.-The Globe in a
special edition publishes a report of an
interview with Sir George Baden Pow

the steam yacht Otaria, in which he is
represented as saying that he has learn
ed that Lord Dunraven not only sent
his letter of resignation from the New
York Yacht club by mail, but cabled it
as well. The sympathy of English
yachtsmen, Sir George says, is not only
entirely with Lord Dunraven, but they
go further in holding the opinion that
he did not put his case strongly
enough.

Lord Aberdeen to Venezuela's Representa-
tive Ancnt the schOmburgI1 Line.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Associated Press
Is enabled to transmit to American read
ers an important document bearing upon
the Venezuela question-namely, the text
of a letter from Lord Aberdeen, the then
British secretary for foreign affairs, to NJ.
Fostique who at that time represented
Venezuela in London, which was written
at the time the posts which had been set
to mark the SchombWgk line were re
moved in compliance with the protest of
Venezuela The letter says
"The undersigned begs to inform NJ
Fostique that, in order to meet the
wishes of the government of Venezuela,
her maiesty's government will send in
structions to the governor of British Gui-
ana directing him to remove the posts
which have been placed by Mr.. Schom-
burgk near Orinoco. But the undersigned
feels it his duty to distinctly declare to NJ.
Fostique that, although in order to put an
end to the apprehension which appears to
prevail in Venezuela with regard to the
object of Mr.. Schomburgk's survey, the
undersigned has consented to comply with
the renewed representations of NJ. Fos-

ernment must not be understood TO aban-
don any portion of the right of Great
Britain over the territory which was for
merly held by the Dutch in British
Guiana"
The letter is regarded here as an answer
10 the contentious of Mr. Henry Norman
special commissioner of The Chronicle
who first gave the English public docu-
ments which seemed to invalidate the
claim of the Schombugk line as true
boundary line But it is to be observed
that Mr.. Norman and the Venezuelan
government, also have not claimed that
in removing the boundary posts Great
Britain abandoned any portion Of her
rights 'over the territory which was for
merly held by the Dutch in Guiana, but
simply that she had abandoned the Schom-
burgk line as marking the limit Of that
territory.

You, mothers with fearful eyes and sor-

And if you have to add to this sorrow the
knowledge that through your neglect you

But you do neglect your children.
Infants and children are peculiarly liable
to nervous disorders; they become nervous,
restless fretful, cross and irritable: their
nights sleep is not calm and rcstful but they
toss restlessly from side to side, murmur or
talk in their sleep, and wake tired and un-
refreshed in the morning. They have an
irregular appetite grow thin and pale, lool,
slight and puny, and their growth and de-
velopment become stunted.
