A long season of hot weather has used
up the strength and pulled down the
flesh of many people. Their stomachs
have become week and tlaccid.
This is noticed especially in the case of
children whose digestions seem to be par
alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is
also true Of grown people, who are sur
prised that the cool days of approaching
fall make them feel worse, instead of
better. They have increased appetites
perhaps, but their enervated digestive
organs are unable to properly assinilate
their food.
The time is coming for cold nights and
mornings and warm moons. The clothing
that is needed for the proper protection
of the vital organs in the early morning
becomes burdensome in the middle of the
day. 1t is the season of drafts and sud
den changes, which find the system but
poorly prepared to stand such strains.
Many deaths will result in this season,
but the chief effect will be in the general
loss of public health until the people in
the community have been enabled to ad-
just themselves to the new climatic con-
ditions.
All doctors agree that great care is
needed both in food and clothing. I'm
necessary exposure should be avoided, and
especially should the stomach be given
every possible assistance in its important
functions. If the stomach is toned up
and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys
are kept in good working order, the
whole machinery of life is given strength
and renewed energy. The stomach is the
power producer of the human body, and
80 per cent. Of all sickness comes from its
failure to do its proper work.
Physicians, chemists and practical
druggists who have administered and in
vestigated Puritana, the prize-formula of
DR.. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College,
have publicly and privately stated that it
is the one safe and effective stomach rem

A BOSTON LAWYER.
What Mr.. John P. Wyman Says Of
Puritana,


Puritana.
The duties of his law practice make
Mr.. John p. Wyman an exceedingly busy
man, and yet, when asked by an ac-
quaintance what he knew about Puritana,
he took time briefly to recount his ex-
perience. Mr.. Wyman writes:
81 have long been subject to severe
headaches and to other symptoms which
seemed to indicate nervous affection of
the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred
to me that there might be virtue in
Puritana, which | was informed was the
formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby of Darth-
mouth College. AS it gave evidence of
being thoroughly good preparation, and
as there was a chance that it might bring
me the relief which earnestly desired,
tried it to the extent Of several bottles.
81 am not enough Of medical man
technically to diagnose my own case, or
absolutely to measure the benefit derived
from the use of Puritana, but l know, as
u fact, that after had been using Puri-
tana, ! had a better appetite, a better
nights sleep, and, practically, freedom
from headaches, which had previously
caused me much suffering
1.-The result is that feel sure the credit
can fairly be given to Purtara, and,
Willie l am not licensed to prescribe any
medicine, am willing, on the basis of my
own experience, to express the opinion
that Furitana is an important remedy for
troubles of the stomach and nerves.

Ancient and Modern Athletes.

We do not know with any scientific
accuracy what the Greek athletes
actually did, what weights they
hurled, at what pace they ran, how
high they leaped, or what were the
helghts, weights or ages of those who
sought the wreaths. There are some
lies, we believe, recorded, but they
are too clearly lies, says the Spec
tator. Nobody, for instance, ever
jumped forward ffty-fve feet any
more than he jumped 500 feet. We
know of some feats of endurance
which the athletes performed as SOL
dlers; we know that they were 1.-the
and slight and we'll formed, and we
know that they thought each other
physically matchless among mankind,
and that is nearly ali that we do know.
1t is extremely probable that, if the
old vlctors in the games could be
made to live again for a day, we
should find that the English and
American athletes beat them with a
certain ease, for Northerners are
stronger than sESoutherners, and
equally 1.-the and we'll trained. The
Greeks may have had more endurance,
as some savages have still and Japan
csc coolies. but even that is doubtful.
for the Greeks thought swimming
across the H%ellespont a wonderful
feat, and an Englishman, Captain
Webb, performed one at least thirteen
times as noteworthy without danger
GUS exhaustion. He swan from Dover
to Calais.

A Lizard That Hances.

One of the interesting little animals
That live in far-away Australia is the
dancing lizard. This curious chap is
about three feet in length and wears a
pretty collar made for him by Mother
Nature. Ylis collar Is OF bright red,
yellow ga blue mixture and is big and
full&Gills. lie gets his name from
his collar and is called the frilled
lizard. He's not q bit pretty and he
has q way of jumping around that
gives N a peculiar fright if one hap
pens upon him suddenly. Although
this frilled chap has four legs. he
to like walking and dancing on
his hind legs better than travelling on
all tours. He's as quick as LIGHTNING
in his movements, and lives on the
insects that inhabit the trees of the
thick woods. He could become a
dancing master if he was bigger and
would conduct himself with greater
ease. We can forgive the frilled lizard
almost any of his pranks, but we can't
forgive him his long name, which is
chlamydosaurus kingi. Now, what do
you think of that?

e Georria side. With the

Island, on the Ge0rgiaside. With the
aid OF q good pair Of marine glasses
the tower can be described as built OF
stone and apparently hoary with age.
Indeed, the native Georgian has no
greater pleasure than to pour into the
astonished ears Of Northerners the
tale that it was erected by the Spanish
about the same time as the structure
at st. Augustine. But the hard and
rather unpoetic facts Of the case are
that the United States Government
built the place IS q defense against
the British in 1872, tome eighty-four
years ago.
1t is termed, in military p%arlance, a
Martello tower. being copied from
similar defenses erected along the
English coasts when Napoleon was
threatening to invade Britain. The
tower saw some little active service in
the Civil War, but, of course, was even
then not moro dangerous or stronger
than q stone dwelling.
At present it is used as q reporting
and signal station, and during the
bathing season it is a favorlte visiting
place for the guests of the fashionable
hotels at Tybee Beach, the noted
Southern seaside resort. There are
few objects on Il coasts more strik-
ing and picturesque than the tower at
Tybee, and it onlv lacks a few legends
of Spanish possessions, sieges. ETC., to
make it famous.
