lief that if man inherits weak lungs from his parents he is pretty sure to die of con- sumption. The actual fact is that if such man will only take proper care of himself he will really be safer from consumption than careless person who has no inherited weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye. Carelessness will develop a tendency to consumption ill any body.
 The lungs are composed of very delicate, sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per son; that is why they yield so quickly to the attack of tainted blood If the blood is al lowed to get impure and impoverished, and bile-poisoned, the seeds of consumption will spring up in the best kind of a consh- tuition. The real consumption-ta n-taint is in the blood
 Hundreds of cases of so-called "heredi- tary" consumption have been completely and permanently rooted out of the system by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, simply because it gives the blood-making glands power to pour fresh abundant sup ply of rich, red, healthy blood into the circulation. This drives out all poisonous and unhealthy germs. Ikstops the waste of tissue and the formation Of morbid deposits; builds up fresh, normal, healthy lung tissue and solid, muscular strength.
 In all the weakened debilitated conditions which are the forerunners of consumption, Dr. Pierce's Discovery is the most per feet nutritive and strength builder. It is assimilated by the weakest stomachs.

Medical Science Records Instances OF the
Combustion Of Flesh From Within.
When Dickens used SO effectively the
spontaneous combustion of the human
body as climax for q novel, he had
back Of him great deal Of evidence
that such miracle had actually taken
place.
In an article on "Ihe Pathology Of
Man," in the old French Encyclopedias
Methodique, D'Azyr gives the ease of
woman so years of age who had made
practice Of going to bed drunk every
day for many years Her bones were
finally found in the bed with the flesh
charred from them, US scientists sup.
posed, by spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case Of Grace
Pitt is given in the transactions Of the
English Royal society. She was the
wife Of fishmonger who lived at Fps
wich, and she was found stretched on
the kitchen floor by her daughter, burn
ing, the girl said, without flames. -
, Her body and legs resembled smoldering

smoke. The girl ran from tho house and
called in the neighbers, who found
nothing but bones and charred flesh left
OF the woman. She, too, had been q
hard drinker.
A third case, given in n French essay,
is that Of Mime. do Boiseon, 80 years
old, who lived near Dol 1t is said
she was very lean and that for several
years she had drunk nothing but spirits.
Her waiting maid found her burning
in her room, the fire in her case, as in
tho others, seeming to originate in the
flesh itself and not in the clothing.
Water thrown on her failed to check the
fire. and she burned until nothing but
