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
a 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 in any body.
The lungs are composed of very delicate,
sensitive tissue, even in the healthest 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 consti-
tuition The real consumption-taint is i'll
the blood.
Hundreds of cases of so-called "heredi-
tary" consumption have been completely
and permanently rooted out of the system
by DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery,
simply because it gives the blood-making
glands power to pour fresh abundant sup
ply of rich, red, healthy, blood iIto the
circulation. This drives out all poisonous
and unhealthy germs. 1t stops 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,
DIR. Pierce's Discovery is the most per
feet nutritive and strength builder. Il is
assinilated by the weakest stomachs.

TOLD FOR WOMEN.

Tho bicycle wedding which recently
electrified London, as the bride wore the
regulation white satin and veil, has had
rival in the marriage of the young
Partisan who went to the church in a
carriage propelled by an electric motor.
The woman who wants to make herself
famous now seems to have little else left
her than balloon in which to tuck her
happy lover, the minister and q couple
of witnesses.
Nine. Adam, the prominent Partisan
journalist, was driven into the work by
the unhappiness of her first experience
as q wife. Her parents married her
when she was a girl of Is to a notary in
provincial town. She left her hus-
band, and with the aid of George Sand
wrote herself into fame in Paris. Her
second husband was Il senator and left
her fortune at his death. This enabled
her to found La Nouvelle Revue and to
establish the salon to which all the
celebrities of the French capital crowd
when she receives.
In trying to make a point against veg
etarianism a member of the Ethno-
graphical society in Paris read paper
Before that body a short time ago in
which he insisted that cannibals are ex-
ceedingly strong and vigorous, far ex-
cccding in strength those tribes not ad-
dicted to such food. He said that the
savages who abstained from human food
rarely ate meat of any kind and were
Puny lot. The most curious part of his
argument was that the flesh of women
was much more dipestible and far mora
nutritious than that of men; many
tribes recognize the fact and eat only
women, until the supply gives out.
