PEAR BLIGHT,

Pear blight is due to the attacks of
a microscopic parasite, It is purely
n local affection. II does not enter
into the sap circulation Of the tree |;
il has no effect upon the tree beyond
the parts attacked; it never extends
through the organs or sap OF the tree
from the effected parts TO other por-
tions of the tree, but develops only
by the extension of the local election
the microbes work in the inner bark
only, and they continue to work until
sometimes large areas are involved,
but they do not pass from one part OF
the tree to another except by pushing
out through the inner.bark from the
point of first attack; the injury lies
in the destruction of this inner bark.
Thus, by cutting off beyond the limo
of election the effected part, that
particular attack is forever gotten rid
Of In handling blight intelligently
the above facts as to the nature of the
disease should be kept in mind, and
nlso the further fact, that the disease
enters the tree only through tender
growth and blossoms The greatest
danger lies in the disease getting in
upon and destroying the trunk or
main branches; this can be prevented
by keeping them free from new
growth and small branches. BY keep
ing the trunk and main branches free
from new growth by cutting off all
small laterals, twigs and spurs, the at
tacks will be confined to the terminal
branches, and can be kept in check
by removing those affected. The
most effective method known for pre-.
venting the spread of blight is cutting
off and destroying the affected parts
as soon rs signs of blight appear. C.

Tonight It enters an humble home to

tomorrow 1t challenges this Republic In the
halls Of Congress.
Tonight II strikes n crust from the lips of
a starving child and tomorrow levles tribute

1t comes TO ruin, and II profits mainly by
the ruin OF your son and mine.
1t comes to change the wife's love into
despair and her pride into shame.
1t comes TO still the laughter on the lips o.

1t comes to stile all the music OF the home
and fill 1t with silence and desolation.
1t comes to ruin your body and mind, to
wreck your home, and II knows It must

certainty with which II wrecks this world.
1t Is the mortal enemy OF peace and order,
the despoiler OF men and terror of women,
the cloud that shadows the face of children,

God sent the plngues TO Egypt, and all wars
since Joshua stood beyond Jericho.

ternally, Is safer and far more effective. II

In reference to pneumonia and typhoid

holics. Their employment here is positively
hurtful, and, we can not doubt, has cost
many patient his life.
In regard to pneumonia, II is now well
established that with alcohol IN the blood
less oxygen is carried from the pulmonary
to the systematic capillaries, or, in other
words, the oxyyenation of the blood Is less-
ened by 1t when Il ought TO be increased. II
also lessons the molecular changes IN the
tissue cells, and thus retards those processes
which are essential to the re-establishmsnt
OF health.
With reference to typhoid fever the al
ministration OF spirituous liquors is abso-
lutely dangerous. Any physician can easily
demonstrate the superiority Of the non-alco-
holic plan In these cases by trial, without
danger aud with ABSOLUTE benefit to his pa
tients. We have yet to learn OF one who has
made IA fair and faithful trial of the non-alco-
holic treatment In typhoid fever who re-
turned to the old plan again. Here is a fact
worthy of the attention OF our alcoholic
friends and the public generally; In non
alcoholic hospital at Chicago the actual ratio
Of mortality for the whole number Of cases
Of typhoid fever treated; moro than one
thousand, was 1veper cent; or one In twenty
cases, while in the reports Of the principal
hospitals OF Europe and America in which

ment OF typhoid fever, the ratio OF morta itJ
is from sixteen to twenty-five per cent, or
one death In from four to seven cases.
