ONE GREAT DISCOVERY
Follows Another. Read and Keep
Posted.

The advance in medical science is
sgreater than in any other branch The
discovery of the X rays and the finding
! of malaria in the blood by analysis are
THE most ecent discoveries, but not the
greatest by any means. The discovery
of remedy or medicine that will in
stantly bring relief to almost any form
)of disease we think is beyond concep-
ition. A remedy that does not require
hours and hours of patience and pain
before relief comes has been discovered.
POOH you say. Would you have be-
lieved few years ago that the tele
jphone is such great invention as it is.
just so it is with the great disc very of
Lightr ing Hot Drops, a remedy that
stands today without an equal, without
"a parallel for the cure of all stomach
and bowel troubles, caused by over
eating. indigestion, dyspepsia. Relief
comes go quickly you will be astonish-
ed, and the fact that it leaves no bad re-
suits is the beauty of il. The action of
Lightning Hot DroCs is marvellous, yet
harmless, and you will be surprised to
know how many different kinds of all
jments you will tind it good for, and If
.you once use it you will have no occa.
sion to keep cupboard full of different
kinds of bottles, for Lightning Hot
Drops will do the work of plasteSs,
<pills. ointments, tonics, etc, and save
you lots of money, for it costs only CSC.
and the soc size holds % times as much
as the 25c size. and it is sold with the
positive understanding that if it gives
no relief your druggist will give your
money back. Made by Herb Medicine

MulIraII on the South.
from the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Prof Mulhail, the British statisti-
clan. has contributed to the North
American Review an interesting sta
tistical article on the Southern States.
According to his classification, the
South embraces the virginias, the
Carolinas, Georgia, Florida. Alabama,
Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
It covers an area Of $40. 900 square
miles, more than one fourth Of the
Union There has been since 1880
an increase of $50 per cent in the
population. The woman has evident
~ better chance for marriage in the
South, where there is a male surplus
of per cent, than in the Middle
States, where the sexes are equal,
and in New England, where there is a
surplus Of ) per cent of females. A
gratifying feature of the report is the
progress it shows in the agricultural
and industrial conditions of the South.
The improved area has more than
doubled since 1850, the total area be-
ing 1903, 79o, 900 acres, or FIVE and one
half acres per inhabitant, against two
and one-half acres in the Middle
States. Kentucky and Tennessee are
the only Southern States which raise
enough grain for home consumption,
the others depending upon the prairie
States. There is, however, large
meat surplus. Texas alone which is
the banner State of the Union, pro-
ducing 500, 900 tons.
The cotton crop covers an area
equal to the combined extent of Hol-
land, Belgium, and Denmark. Ken
lucky produces one-half OF the tobacco
crop of the United States. The total
value of the crops is estimated by Mr..
Mulhall at 81, COS, 900. 900, and he be-
lieves that farming is more profitable
in the South than in the Middle
States. Mr.. Mulhall then discusses
financial and educational institutions,
concluding that what the South now
needs is more schools. more railways.
and more banks.

Democratic Testimony
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
To the encouraging reports of the
city's manufacturing and mercantile
institutions as to the present state Of
trade and the outlook for the future
may be added the improved showing
in clearinghouse transactions, a
gratifying percentage Of increase
being reported by the commercial
agencies for the first time in many
months. These local signs of lift
ing up in business correspond with
the cheerful predictions of authorities
whose survey covers the whole coun-
try, and there must be something in
all this talk OF better feeling and
strengthening hopes. The country's
resources are too vast and varied and
its reserve power too great for it to
remain long an invalid.

Prosperous Texas.
From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Texas will raise this year over 81
900, 900 bales of cotton, the corn crop
will be the largest in the history OF
the State. while the wheat crop is
already harvested, is large, and being
sold at profitable price. This is an
object lesson which will be far from
pleasing to Populists and free silver
ties, who are still contending that the
country is on the road to ruin.

Americas first discovery. peculiar to its
own sell. was found about forty years ago
on Isle Royal In Lake Superior. This stone
was called the chlorastrolite. The little
island is inhabited only by the lighthouse
keeper and is visited only occasionally by
curiosity seekers and mineralogists. This
stone is Opaque and of greenish color,
with white starlike spots scattered through
it. 1t attracted a great deal of attention
when it was first discovered and gave no
little fame to Isle Royal. On visit to
Europe Mr.. Smith was once visited by a
bI other expert, who told him that he had
at last found a new stone for him. When
the stones were brought in for inspection
Mr.. Smith smiled and said: "Oh, yes, 1 used
to play with those when l was a small
boy"
The second stone, which was a native of
America only, was found about fifteen
years ago in North Carolina. 1t was found
by a man named Hidden, and after him
was called the "Hiddenite." The hiddenite
is lfthian emerald and is somewhat SIM

the wcrd "Free" popular because his
use of 1t was honest. His offer to
treat patients for $3 n month WINS be-
lfeved by thousands because they
knew Doctor Mccoy told the truth.
1t 10 not enough that this be once

protected from any methods that are
not sincere. The sick ones I'm any
event deserve protection, SO Doctor
Mccoy teaches this lesson. giving the
people again his offer of S3 n

such an offer could not be main
