Lake CRYSTAL MINI .Julv ala

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 5th, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such manner that he re.
mained doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care OF our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores, We're indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant, My
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once. 1t at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu.
lated a healthy discharge. We kept the.
boys strength up with a preparation OF
beef's blood and wine, and in. about two
months he was well on the road to recovery.
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. It
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and. the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. | believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced it's use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment. 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be-
gan to use the Salve. Signed, H. Z. WOODS,

RATHER SWEET.

Sugar is craved by people belonging
10 nation of energy and dash. Great
mental eXertion and high spirit create
the demand.
Medical authorities believe that q
given quantity of sugar is necessary to
health, especially if a person is ener-
getic. 1t is claimed no substance re-
stores muscular waste so quickly as
sugar.
The United States and England con-
sumo enormous quantities of sugar,
England using Sc pounds year per in
habitant. In Denmark the consump-
ton of sugar is 45 pounds to the indi-
vidual; in Holland, 81; in France, 30;
in Sweden and Norway, 25; in Russia,
ten; Turkey and Ita.y, seven; Greece,
six; Servia, four.
A fact not very well known is that a
little sugar, taken with water, not too
cold, in case food is not obtainable, will
relieve the feeling OF exhaustion and
sharp hunger. Some business men
keep loaf sugar in their desks and when
they are detained from luncheon sat
urate the sugar with water and slowly
eat it.
1t has long been thought that sugar
is injurious to the teeth, but ii is no
more so than cake OF preserves. II will,
Of course, iniure the teeth if allowed to
remain in contact with them for any
length of time. People of average
health who are in the open air great
deal may eat all the sugar they crave
without injury.

IT is estimated that within range
of 600 yards the small caliber rifle of
to-day will kill as many men as it
wounds, and beyond that range the
numbers wounded will exceed the num-
ber killed. With killing range OF
three-quarters of a mile, with smoke
less powder, and firing ten shots for
every shot fred by the old-tiHe rifle,
the slaughter in modern warefare will
be infinitely greater than any yet
recorded. Happily, surgery has also
made great strides and the skill that
heals can compete better than ever
with the skill that wounds.

THE Krag-Jorgensen rife with which
the United States soldiers are armed,
appears to be a remarkably destruc.
tive weapon. Its caliber is only so,
and the long, steel-cased bullet, of the
thickness of an ordinary pencil, will
penetrate mans skull at the thick
est part at a distance of half mile.
At very short range it bores hole
through the stoutest bone, as clean
cut as if it were drilled, but beyond a
range of 100 yards it assumes a lateral
motion, which makes it as terrible as
if it were an explosive bullet.
