The advance In medical science
is greater than In any other branch.
The discovery Of the X rays and
the finding Of malaria in the blood
by analysis are the most recent dis
coveries, but not the greatest by
any means. The discovery of Ii
remedy or medicine that will in
stantly bring relief to almost any
form of disease we think Is beyond
conception. A remedy that does
not require hours and hours of pa
tience and pain before relief comes
has been discovered. P0oh! you
say. Would you have believed u
few years ago that the telephone is
such a great invention as 1t is
Just so IL is with the great dis
covery of Lightning Hot Drops, u
remedy that stands to-day without
an equal, withouta a parallel for the
cure of all stomach and bowel
troubles, caused by over-eating, in
digestion, dyspepsia. Relief comes
so quickly you will be astonished,
and the fact that it leaves no bad
results is the beauty Of 1t. The
action of Lightning Hot Drops is
marvellous, yet harmless, and you
will be surprised to know how
many different kinds Of ailments
you will find it good for, and IL you
once use It, YOU will have no occasion
to keep cupboard full of different
kinds of bottles, for Lightning Hot
Drops will do the work of plasters,
pills, ointments, tonics, etc, and
save you lots of money, tor 1t costs
only 25c, and the 50cisize holds q

NJun,cipal Time Mt Glasgow.

One of the most interesting of Glas-
gov enterprises is what may be de-
soribed ns municipal time for the entire
city. Some years ago the experiment
was tried of placing municipal clocks
in prominent positions all over Glasgow
and regulating them by synchroniza-
ton. The present scheme is much more
elaborate and is nothing less than the
establishment of a system of standard
time, by means of electrically controlled
clocks, regulated every second from the
stellar clock at tho observatory. A reg
ulating clock, directly controlled from
the observatory, has been placed in the
city chambers, and this in turn controls
three circuits of public clocks at vari-
ous points in the city. In the meantime
only about dozen clocks have been
provided, but il the trial proves sue
cessful the corporation intends to erect
from 200 to 300,1S inch dials, thus pro-
viding reliable system of standard
time for oil parts of the city. This ex-
tension of the circuit will involve the
laying of OF miles of wire. 1t is hoped
also to include time keeping in private
houses. Westminster Gazette.

to read the wall in his last issue
about decent newspapers, would

whose family it was that he said
the good wife was not clean, and
enjoyed the crawling of bed bugs
in her home, which dirty assault
caused the good woman many days
and nights of tears. He does not
remember in later years of assail-
ing Dr. Dollison, an aged and re.
putable physician of Logan, who
has no more to do with any news

zen, maliciously hurling at this re-
putable gentleman that he ought
to take medicine that would cure
