Goldfish andLob.tern.

Goldfish is at the same. price as 81
years ago. But even at this price the
fishermen of to-day are much better of
than their predecessors of 40 years ago,
because food, clothing and all the nee
essaries of life are now from 30 to so
per cent. cheaper than 81 years since.
Take the articles of flour, butter, sugar,
tea, these are 40 per cent. cheaper
now than 40 years ago. Clothing of
all kinds is 30 to 40 per cent. cheaper.
Luxuries and comforts once beyond the
reach of the fishermen are now within
their means. There is another very inn
portant consideration favorable to the
fishermen of to-day. Thirty years ago
the lobster fishery was unknown; now
it is worth 100000 annually, and the
price is steadily rising.-Montreal Ca

E atty who suffers from ILL
health. If it were not for
disorders of the digestive organs, nine.
tenths of the medical books in the world
could be safely destroyed. Not only the
minor maladies, but the majority of serious
diseases have their inception IN disorder
ed digestion. Consumption is undoubtedly
the most deadly enemy with which man
kind has to contend. Like all other vast
ing diseases, it has its origin in disorders
of the digestive organs. As result of these
disorders, the appetite falls off; the life-giv-
ing elements of The food are not properly
assimilated; the blood becomes thin and i'm
pure; and all the tissues of the body are i'm
perfectly and improperly nourished; the
lungs become clogged with inert, half dead
tissues that offer an attractive soil for the
invasion of the germs of consumption. 1t
has been said thousands of times that con-
sumption is incurable. II is not.
Ninety-eight per cent of all cases of con-
sumption are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t corrects all disorders
of the digestive organs, invigorates the liver
and makes the appetite keen and the assim-
ilation perfect; it makes new blood, pure
blood, and lots of it. 1t builds new and
healthy tissue. 1t is the great flesh-builder.
It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all
Impurities and disease germs. Thousands
have testified to its merits. All good drug

Good health is the best endowment
Those who have it cannot be too careful to
preserve it. Constipation is the worst
enemy of good health. 1t causes nearly

gathered just for the mere going after
it, till he had his audiences well-nigh
crazy. At the proper time he sprung
his scheme, which was nothing more
nor less than the organization Of Klon-
dixie clubs for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the colored race. The negroes
had just as much right to the gold that
lay round loose up there as anybody,
and if they didn't avail themselves OF
the glorious opportunity to become rich
they were the biggest fools on earth.
All they had to do was to join the clubs
and get an interest in the profits that
would accrue. The more money each
individual contributed the more would
be his share of the proceeds, and the pro.
moter advised everybody to invest every
dollar that could be raised.
