pirical compounds OF those who are al
most wholly ignorant OF Materia Medica
and Utterly inexperienced In adapting
medicine to the cure OF disease.
Many of Dr. Pierce's prescriptions nave
become standard remedies througout the
civilized world. His "Favorite Prsscrip-
ton" for the cure Of woman's ailments
IS recognized as the most effective specihc
of It's kind ever invented; and his Hleas-
ant Pellets" for the relief and cure OF
obstinate constipation are universally ac-
cepted as the most perfect remedy for
this complaint.
1t Ia well known that certain druggists
who think more OF their own profit than
OF their customers health are quite ready
to substitute some other remedy in place
Of DR.. Pierce's medicine. This sort OF
imposition is justly resented by intelli-
gent people as a reflection upon their
own judgment and knowledge Of what
they desire.

The scientific world is wild over the
mysterious new light which penetratcs

in glass tube like an electric light. IT
IL composed u beautiful violet-colored
rays. which, being unknown, are called

are they? What will they DO? What
will they not do?" Edison believes they
will kill the germs Of disease. At Colum-

were even asking: "Will these wondarous
Y rays rstore life?"
YET all this mystery is only the A. r.

little FREELY has been carrying about with
him a light which the nineieenth-century
scientists cannot duplicate. The climbing

the result The suspicious quietness in the
balloting is believed TO be the calm that
precedes the storm. Every one seems to
be holding back to see if his or her favorite
needs help and how much. There is no
lack of interest in the contest, but each
faction seems to be waiting for the other
to move.

this city, is in correspondence with the
Veteran Fireman's Association of San

will accept the invitation.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, March o.
The people of Chino are enraged because
of the death of a child under Christian
science treatment, and 1t is intimated that
DR.. Mrs. Viola Brown will be asked to
leave the town at once. Coroner Keating
was summoned to Chino on Tuesday to
investigate the death of the 13-month
old daug hter of Mr.. and Mrs. o. Sedgwick,
who was taken i'll ten days ago with a bad
cold. Neighbors visiting the parents, and
seeing the condition oil the child had pro-
tested that physician should be called in
to attend the little sufferer. but as the
parents had been i'll a week previous, and
had become well presumably through the
efforts of DR.. Brown, she was sent for to
pray and administer to the baby.
AS the days went by the babe grew
worse and still the parents refused to call
a regular physician until the little girl
was beyond earthly aid. At the inquest
held yesterday the Coroner called the
father to the stand and in the course of
Sedgewick's testimony he said:
81 believe if Christian science could not
cure the child it would have died any
way"
After hearing all the testimony the jury
rendered the following verdict: "Died
from pneumonia through the willful
neglect OF the parents"
TIE feeling against DR.. Brown is very
bitter and it is said that she will be COM
PEELED to leave Chino if she does not go
willingly
