lief that if a man inherits weak lungs from
his parents he is pretty sure to die of con.
sumption. The actual fact is that if such
man will only take proper care of himself
he will really be safer from consumption
than a careless person who has no inherited
weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye.
Carelessness will develop a tendency to
consumption in any body
The lungs are composed of very delicate,
sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per
son; that is why they yield so quickly to the
attack of tainted blood. If the blood is al
lowed to get impure and impoverished, and
bile-poisoned, the seeds of consumption
will spring UP in the best kind of a consti-
tuition. The real consumption -taint is in
the blood.
Hundreds of cases of so-called "heredi-
tary" consumption have been completely
and permanently rooted out of the system
by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
simply because it gives the blood making
glands power to pour fresh abundant sup
ply of rich, red, healthy, blood into the
circulation. This drives out all poisonous
and unhealthy germs. 1t stops the waste of
tissue and the formation of morbid deposits
builds up fresh, normal, healthy lung tissue
and solid, muscular strength.
In all the weakened debilitated conditions
which are the forerunners of consumption,
Dr. Pierce's Discovery is the most per.
feet nutritive and strength builder. 1t is
Rssimilatcd by the weakest stomachs.

He Ate oabba;g;e and Lived.

Wonderful are the whims of the hu-
man stomach. What kills one man gives
another; life. One of the strangest cases
of craving for food on the part OF a
sick man is narrated by Mrs. Hazen in
"Our Army Nurses" She was at the
time (1864) nurse in the Columbian
hospital at Washington. Among her pa
tients was "boy"-though he was
veteran of four years standing-who
had come to the hospital several months
before with wounded knee. This is
her strange story:
The surgeons had held many exami-
nations. He was failing rapidly; could
not retain anything, even cold water
causing hemorrhage of the stomach.
''What is the verdict, doctorf" asked
one morning
He can live but a few days at the
longest" was the answer, land may
die in few hours.
'Then, doctor, please let him have
what he wants while he does live
81 give him into your hands, Miss
Titus Do what you please for him. ="
The bandages were at once removed,
as he had complained that they were
uncomfortable Then, as soon as the
other patients were cared, for went to
market garden and bought a head of
cabbage. He had often said he wanted
something green, if only boiled grass. :"
When the cabbage was cooked, carried
him some, with cider vinegar, and fed
him.
He ate all there was on the plate,
asked for more, which was brought,
and still third and fourth plate, till
he had eaten the whole cabbage.
From that dinner, in May, he began
to improve, and ON the 18th of June l
started with him on a stretcher for his
home i'll Pennsylvania, as his life even
then depended upon his diet, and such
meals as he ate would have made well
man sick.
He recovered, but had stiff knee.

ably fast run last week, between Cape

The distance is 22O miles and the run
was made in 24O minutes. When it is
taken into consideration that engineers
were changed at Delmar and Wyoming
and four minutes were consumed in
meeting other trains, besides the sew

ceedingly fast

A TIME FOR BOoKs.-If you see

"With $4,000, 900 bales of cotton, "
