GOOD HEALTH.
Various Causes, Susceptible to Cure, Which
Make Jack Dull Boy.

In the case of child that learns with
difficulty and is backward in his Glasses,
the usual assumption is that he is natu-
rally dull and lacking in understanding.
In order TO have sound mind one must
have sound body. This is a simple rem
dering of truth which scarcely re-
quires emphasis in so far as it bears
upon adults, for all have doubtless noted
that when suffering from disease, and
even when but slightly ailing from an
attack of indigestion or common cold,
for the time being mental activity was
more OF less impaired and coneentra-
tion, as in writing an important letter,
difficult if not quite impossible.
But the fact needs to be urged that
children feel the force of this invariable
law with far greater intensity, aud that
their brain, developing, weaker and
more sensitive, is easily overwhelmed
by disturbances that might not have any
appreciable effect upon their parents
A physician, writing in The House
wife, would impress upon parents the
fact that when their children are back
ward in learning they should assume
that the chances are many that there is
some physical defect or ailment to ae-
count for the mental sluggishness, and
it is their duty to have IA thorough ex-
animation made by the family physician
and treatment promptly applied if nee
essary.
Perhaps the influence of affections of
the upper air passages best illustrates
the importance of pursuing this course.
Consider the trouble known as nasal
oatarrh, which is very common among
children and deemed comparatively
trifling by the average patient. Now, it
is a fixed fact that there is very close
intimacy between the nose and some
other very important parts of the sys-
tenn, and when it is unpleasantly affect
ed those parts sympathize with it and
are more or less disturbed. For instance,
person who has cold in the head is
not capable of nearly as good mental
work as he would be were he not vic
tim of this trouble.
A child that has "catarrh" to such
degree that respiration through the
nose is difficult is unable to fix his at
tention on his books as perfectly
healthy child can do. Moreover, his
memory is feeble, he is subject to head
aches, and oftentimes both his sight and
hearing powers are more or less impair
ed. In this condition he is the victim of
what is known as aprosexia, and, judg-
ing from the results of Investigations
that have been made, it would seem
safe to assume that of all school chill
dren between the ages of 8 and IA near
ly 10 per cent suffer in some degree
from it.

The average age of the 3 new sena-

For beauty, brains and brightness the

Consumption and Right Breathing.

1t is stated that more than half the
consumption in the world is due to
wrong breathing and disuse of one lung.

the right method of breathing has been
taught.

new engagement may we'll DO regarded
as such, partly to an accident, but main
ly to her we'll earned reputation as a
successful teacher of children. She first
met Mrs. Cleveland at Marion a few
years ago while taking summer yaca-
tion. The presidents wife was attracted
by her cheerful, winning ways and when
she wanted an instructress for her chill
dren she sent for the Boston girl.
Miss Barthman comes naturally by
her talent for teaching, for her mother,
Mrs. Emile Barthman, is one of the
foremost of the pioneer kindergartners
and has been employed in tho Boston
school ever since the inception of the
Froebel system, having been the first
teacher selected by Mrs. Mary Quincy
Shaw when she inaugurated kindergar-
ten teaching is years ago as a purely
philanthropic venture.
Miss Barthman is rather pretty
young lady of about 25. She began teach
ing eight years ago as an assistant to her
mother. She is of German extraction
and comes OF an excellent family which,
previous to reverses, was wealthy. She
is well prepared for the instruction of
the first children of the land, for she has
passed through the several grades of the
public schools in Boston as we'll as the
girls high school, and has taken
course of special instruction in private
schools, including a course under the
noted Kindergarten, Miss Lucy II. Sy-
monds.
At first she was engaged to teach only
the presidents two older children, Ruth
and Esther, but the wives of some of
the cabinet officers wished to take adj
vantage of the opportunity, and a class
of about ten children, representing Un-
Gle Sans official family, was made up,
and Miss Barthman will have them IN
der her charge in the White House nurs-
cry for three hours day for the next
few months. She will tell them pretty
little stories, teach them cute little
songs, show them how to make mud
pies of artistic design, and generally
prepare their young minds for the more
serious instruction which is to come
later.

Under this treatment, it is but short
step from vigor and health to a pair
of crutches. With this wreck of the
system often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of finger nails,
and decay of the bones-a condition
most horrible. This is no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full Of
these hobbling mercurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. Until the discovery of S. s. s.,
it was incurable. 1t has always baf-
fed the doctors, and ii is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to counterfeit the
poison. While they succeed in bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
break forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. S. $. S. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
1t is the same in other diseases of
the blood. Scrofuia, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in its effect, yet harmless in
every way. For fifty years S. S. S.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the mildest case,
after all other treatment failed. 1t is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof TO the contrary. 1t is a real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,
and never fails to cure Contagious
Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu-
matisn, Cancer, or any other disease
of the blood. If you have blood dis
ease, take a remedy which will not
injure you. Beware of mercury don't
