Beware
OF Mercury!

Whenever 4 doctor is called upon to
treat blood disease, the result nine
times out of ten is that the treatment
is worse than the disease, and in a
short while the patient finds his
condition far worse than it was at first
The reason of this is that notwith-
standing the great progress made in
surgery, and in some branches of med
icine, the doctors have failed absolute
ly to discover 4 cure for blood diseases.
Whether in the form of pill, powder or
liquid, their treatment is always the
same potash and mercury which
temporarily dry up the poison in the
system and no sooner has it taken on
the full effects of these powerful drugs,
than that suppleness and elasticity of
the joints give way to 4 stiffness, fol-
lowed by the racking pains of rheu-
matism. Then follows loss of hair
and finger nails, and even decay of the
bones-a condition most horrible.
Mr.. Henry Roth, of 1848 South Ninth
street, ST. Louis, Mo-, was d victim of
contagious blood poison-that worst
form of blood disease, which has always
baffled the doctors. He was treated
by physician, and in due time pro,

The Live Sponge.

When the sponge is III the sea alive,
the inside of the pores is covered with
soft substance like the white of an egg.
This appears to be the flesh Of the ami
mai, and currents of water may be seen
running into the sponge through the
small pores and out of it through the
large ones, and it is supposed that while
the water is passing through tho sponge
the nourishment for the support Of the
animal is extracted from it.

Grand Millinery Opening.

The opening of fancy fall and winter
millinery goods which began yesterday
and will continue over tomorrow at the
large millinery establishment of F..
Walters & Co., far exceeds anything of
the kind ever attempted in the past by
these energetic young business women.
The display of trimmed hats is certainly
beautiful, and the most fastidious ''fe-
male woman" in Forest county certainly
ought to be able to make a selection.
The large store room is elegantly deco
rated with evergreens and various color
ed ribbons, and as you enter the place
seems a veritable fairyland. There are
hats and hats--hats large enough to hide
the stage OF the largest opera house in
America, and hats so small that you
could hardly find them on the head of a
woman who had a large crop of hair,
cooked hats and hats that are not cooked,
hats that have been set on, jumped on
and kicked all to pieces (at least so
the reporter thoughtl and then pinned
up again and trimmed with everything
from a humming bird TO an American
eagle. But we can't tell you all about it,
go and see for yourself.
