PECULIAR POISONS.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal.
contains within itself the germs Of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death called by scientists
Ptomanes). arc usually the result Of i'm
perfect digestion Of food; the result OF
indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments Uhe first
process Of decay poisoning the blood.
making ii thin, weak, and lacking i'm red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing
headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation, and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Brights disease and diabetes.
And this is so. because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourshmcnt and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss Of appetite and flesh. but In weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start IN life is n sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly. because they lack the

cases of Indigestion, is TO take after each

that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble, except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,

only from wholesome food well dgested.

stration of the doctrine of evolution
before the eyes of the whole world.
In statement regarding this attempt
OF the Frenchman to demonstrate the
theory of evolution, Prof. Joseph LIE
Conte of the University of California,
says:
Il daresay the French scientists
will develop higher and higher ape,
but don't believe they will make a
man out OF him. Men and monkeys
came from the same stock, not one
from the other, and each will develop
in his own direction. | think the ex-
periments useful, but the golden OPP
portunity for such experiments was
when the ways parted in some previ-
Gus geological epoch.
Il believe that life originated on the
globe by the action of purely natural,
chemical and physical force. 1t is so
with evolution. Evolution is like the
branching of tree; once there has
been parting, you are not going to
have growing together again. The
French eXperimenters will get more
teachable monkey, indeed superiority
will, think, be in the monkey-like
direction"
Frank Baker, superintendent of the
National Geological park at Washing
tin, says
"Structurally speaking, there is no
very essential difference between HUI
man beings and apes. Practically, the
brain reduced in size; there is no i'm
portant differences. All marks of
distinction between human beings and
the higher apes, seem to be bridged
ever by races of more or less ape-like
men, which still exist or have become
extinct.
I'VE know that very much may be
accomplished in the way of the struct-
ural modification by selection in
breeding. For example, consider the
dc mesticated pigeons, all varieties OF
which, including such freaks as the
pouter and the fantail, have been de-
veloped artiticially from the plain and
monumental bluerock.
1t is not going too far to say that
81 me apes might be made more human
like physically, as we'll as mentally, by
cimilar methods. We all know that
wonders have been done with the
noble and faithful dog, which has been
evolved by careful breeding from the
savage and comparatively unintelli-
gent wolf What has been done with
the dog ought to be practical with the
ape which is much cleverer beast

TO SUPPLY TIM MISSING LINK.
French Scientises Will Try to Breed
Men from Monkeys.

French scientists, under the direc-
ton of the Paris Museum of Natural
History, are about to try to determine
whether man is descended from the
apes. This is the boldest attempt
science has ever made to unravel the
secret Of the origin of the human race.
Prof. Armand Wire has obtaintd per-
mission from the French government
to carry on a series of experiments,
extending over many years, looking to
the development from anthropoid apes
OF type Of animal identican with, or
closely resembling man--in word, it
is hoped that science may produce
human being by using artificially, the
same methods by which nature is be-
lieSed to have slowly and laboriously
evolved man from the monkey. For
this purpose Prof Wire has obtained
the use OF a considerable section of the
Paris catacombs Prof Wire has OBJ
tanned ample funds from the govern
ment and these will. no doubt, be re-
Moved in the future If the work pro-
crosses satisfactorily.
Already he has installed a large coll
lection of animals in the eatacombs,
and with these he has obtained some
remarkable results. For instance, by
cutting or tho 'ails OF small monkeys.
he has produced tailless breed. What
Prof Wire now proposes to accomplish
is nothing less than a rapid demon
