COMMA BACILLUS,

In consumption beware Of cough NIX
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium PARALLELS the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t IS
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stl1nu-
1ates the nerves with new life and power,
DESTROYS the 1nicrobe, and restores ali

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph, James,
painter, of SIS w. Pearl ST., Indlanapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
CONSUMPTION. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A FRIEND thinking
to relieve. his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His hangs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

THE FESTIVE BANANA PEEL.
Remarks About the Position ~ Places

Some People in Society In.
Mr.. EDITOR-If there be one cOHdi-
ton more than another thoroughly
destructive to the moral as we'll as the
physical weil-being Of the unfortunate
person, who may inadvertently become
victlm to the act, it is the ruthless
and reckless throwing of banana peel
ings on the sidewalks. There is scarce
ly any deed of otherwise well meaning
persons, SO. fraught with dire disaster,
as this same careless finging away of
the outer covering of this highly priced
fruit.
1t seems as though it evidenced the
most sublime Selfishness; insensate in
difference, involved ignorance in short
an entire ignoring of any and every one
else on this sphere, which has been
apparently built. made and arranged
fer the one purpose Of one person hav-
ing his fling at banana peels. This
untowaTql condition was forcibly
brought TO the attention of the writer
by an incident that happened before
his eyes ON the day of writing. which
gave rise TO this philippe. -
A nurse girl going along pushing %
baby carriage with another child walk
ing at her side, peeled one Of these
species of fruit particularly peddled by
the dark eyed Italian, and earelessly
threw the discarded peeling onto the
edge OF the sidewalk. a slight glance
at where it was going. would have
eaused it to be delivered in the GUTTER
where 10 belonged.
A moment later a delivery boy came
cut FROM a. store with packages for the
delivery wagon, along side the curbs
Little ree4Eed he of the danger that
lurked in the quiet, green-hued' peel
ing with its slippery tace. In second
he was s9pawled out Oveg' the edge Of
the curb, part of his anatomy an the
unsymp abhetie cement walk one leg
down in the wheel of the wagoB,. and
narrowly escaped striking his head on
the tire of tbs wheel.
