and dying. The horrors OF war are no
greater than the horrors of disease. If all
the nations of the earth were az war against
each other there would be no such carnage
wrough within the year as that which is
accomplished annually by one dread disease
consumption
And vet this most fatal of all diseases is
not without its remedy. 1t is no longer the
irresistible destroyer that it was considered
thirty years ago. An entirely new aspect is
put upon the possibilities of this dreadful
malady by the astounding remedial action
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which cures consumption by nourishing the
lungs with an abundant supply of pure,
highly vitalized blood.
This stops the formation of tuberculous
matter. and builds up fresh tissue, muscular
flesh and vital energy. IL gives digestive
power to the stomach which IS too weak to

Fewer Narcotics and Sti.nulants.

Fewer Narcotics and Stimulants.
"These three-norphine, chloral, CO.
caine, mainly morphine-are the triple
feature in the great wave OF narcotic
inebriety that has rolled over this land
in the last 40 years, J." writes DR.. j. B.
Mattison in The North American Re-
view. He now finds that the wave has
spent itself and that the ebb tide has be-
gun. The causes that are contributing
to what DR.. Mattison justly calls this
glad end'' are various. For one thing
the medical profession themselves are at
last awakened to the dangers OF pre-
scribing the drugs named. Cocaine was
used for years recklessly and with terri
BILE results under the mistaken impress
sion that it was harmless narcotic. Not
till some of the most gifted and skillful
members of the medical profession then
selves fell victims to cocaine did doc
tors become alive to the peril III its use.
Another cause as potent as any is the
employment of electricity as a remedial
agent. DR.. Mattison pronounces the gal
vanic current especially power
against pain" " 1t is safe to suppose that
as time goes OH and as the beneicent pow
or Of electricity is better understood it
will still further drive out the deadly
drugs which merely paralyze the per-
ception of pain instead of stopping the
pain itself
While the use of morphine and other
! narcotic drugs is undoubtedly on the
wane we have the cheerful assurance
from statistics that alcoholic drunken.
ness is likewise steadily diminishing.
| The faithful figures show that in pro-
| portion to the population there are less
| wine, whisky and even beer consumed
than there We're 20 years ago. One rea
son for this may be the popular belief
that beer has been drugged and doctoree
with foreign substances to realize great
er profit on it till it has become un
wholesome Certainly many beer drink
ers do not find it SO palatable as they
formerly did. Whisky distillers say
there is no longer money to be made IL
| their business because of the diminished
consumption.
These cheering signs indicate that th'
race is growing healthier and finer, ap
proaching a stage in its development
| where it does not crave the coarse ant
fiery stirnulants, the deadening, crud'
narcotics Of the old times.
