CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
A London Physician says the Former WIFI
 Cure the Lattor.


 Dr. Marcel of London recommends bicycle riding as remedy for asthma. Here is what he says about it in let ter to The Medical Record: eff asthma is form of mountain sickness and if that distressing affection of high alti- tudes can be cured by training for the exercise of climbing, why should not asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by praeticing the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs? Of all means of training respiration I think cycling is the best. When person first takes cycling exercise it will bs found, especially on going up hill, that the breath is wanting, the heart beats uncomfortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 l Cycling exercise, first of all, in- creases the depth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic. At the same ''time 1t will accustom the rider instinct lively to take in at each respiration the 1 volume of air required to aerate the I blood. Persons who do not care for oy- cling out of doors can take the same i kind of exercise at home by means of a dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so contrived as to simulate bicycle riding. A strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider, thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case it has proved eminently suc- cessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared <"

Contrary Effects of the Absence of One on
 a Friend of Colonel Calliper.
 ''I knew man once, said Colonel Calliper, "a young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was a pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times in his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression. In one of these on his way home once from Eu- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living, and he made up his mind to end 1t all right there by jumping overboard As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in it without macintosh.
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this ee- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of encountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form. Next morning, with the resiliency of youth, he was feeling bet ter, and he arrived in New York buoy. ant, hopeful and strong.
 "And, curiously enough, while in other respects he remained as punotil- ious as ever about his dress, he never after that wore macintosh, and he went ont in all sorts of weather with out hesitation. It was his carelessness ill this regard that led finally to his death. Out without mackintoeh in 9 heavy rain at the age of 97, he caught Q cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.

Two Irishmen were cleaning a win- dow in a tall building. To facilitate their work they had stuck board out of the window, and Pat stood on the end of it which was outside and Mike on the end inside to balance. Suddenly Pat shouted:

 "Thot's all roight. I'll go down and git it. <"
 When he got to the street, he found Pat in heap on the sidewalk and ex- claimed:

Cork Legs Were Scarce.

One day in 1880 Senator Hampton was going on his crutches from the sen. ate chamber to the house of representa- tives In the middle of the big rotunda he met very large man, also on crutch- es. He was member of congress from Illinois, Republican, whose name I cannot now recall. Hampton stopped him and kindly asked his name and how he had received his injury After giving his name the congressman said amputation was necessary by reason of shot he had received in fight with Hampton's cavalry He did not dream he was talking to Wade Hampton him. self ''I am Wade Hampton, said the senator, 'If you have the leisure, please sit down and let us talk.' Hampton had lost his leg after the war, when thrown from 8 mule while deer hunt ing. The amputation was identical with that of the congressman, and they fell a-talking. Up to that time neither had found cork leg he could wear, and they discussed cork legs for a great while. They parted, after mutual pro- fessions of esteem. The next morning I heard the congressman tell the story in the committee room, and there never was a man who had higher regard for Wade Hampton than he had. I believe Hampton later found leg he could wear.-Louisville Courier Journal

An Effective Cheap Material - How to

Burlaps, once despised as tho most roughly utilitarian of all cloth, has cradu- ally won attention to itself and has now risen to the unquestioned position of an art fabric and factor in upholstery. II is really one of the most effective of cheap materials for curtains, portieres and wall covering, and since the eyes of the public have been opened to its artistic possibili- ties manufacturers bring it out in great variety of eolors, both plain and figured.

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers from Piles.

Dr. Redmond, a specialist i'm the
study and treatment Of piles and rec
tai diseases, recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re-
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect: and that was the
instant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied. This
was the more surprising To him be-
cause he had carefully analyzed the
preparation and no trace of opium. CO.
ca!nc or similar poison could be de-
tccted.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile cure. because
IL is rapidly taking place Of surgical
operations and because II is so simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other pOisons 80 commonly used
In cures
Dr. EsterbrOOk reports that the Pyra :
mid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms of piles, but never fails
to give immediate relief on the first
application, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astOrishCd At the
instant relief experienced from the first
application, Another important ud-
vantage is the fact that anyone car
use the remedy without detention from
business OF interference with daily oc-
cupatiOn. Sold by druggists al 50 cents
