LAUNCHING THE LIFE.BoAT.

There are greater dangers than those of the angry sea. That dread disease-con. sumption, kills more men and women in generation than the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation.
 There is a sure and safe life-boat ever ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this merciless destroyer. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma laryn- gitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood and throat and nasal troubles It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial tubes, throat and nasal cavities. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and as- si1nilation perfect, invigorates the liver, and purihes and enriches the blood 1t fills the blood with the life giving clements of the food that build new and healthy tissues. 1t tears down, carries off and excretes the diseased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. It checks the cough and facilitates approximation until the lungs are thor oughly cleared. It is the great blood maker and flesh-buildef. Unlike cod liver oil 1t does not build habby flesh, but the hrm, muscular tissues of health. 1t does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Thousands have testified to their cure under this great medicine after they were given up by the doctors, and all hope was gone. An honest dealer will not suggest some inferior substitute for the sake of a little extra selfish profit.

Do Not Neglect the Kidneys and

Disorder of these important organs
causes Bright's disease, rheumatism, pain

Disease sometimes gets hold upon your
kidneys and bladder before you realize

Often these organs are neglected until
that awful malady, Bright's disease, has
fastened upon you, and death awaits its
victim. Many miraculous cures have
been wrought by course of treatment
with DR.. Davis Kidney Tablets. These
tablets are put up in the shape Of kid

nounced by the best physicians of mod
ern times to be the most direct in action
on the kidneys of any remedy known to
medical science. You can eat these tab
lets as you would candy. Send for free

GREAT MANY
SUICIDES
May Be Traced to Food and
Errors In Diet.
Self rIurder Increase With clvlIiza-
tion's rIarch.

DIR. Haig, an eminent authority on the
other side of the water, is Of the opinion
that suicides may be traced to error in
diet, the error being the eating Of meat,
the drinking OF beer and Of tea, and the
smoking of tobacco His facts all fall
comfortably into their places in support
OF his hypothesis. Are there not more
suicides among men than among women,
and do not men consume more meat,
more beer and more tobacco than the
women Again, suicide is more common
in England than in Scotland, not appa-
rently because the Scotch are a more
canny race, but because the English eat
more meat and drink more beer, while
the Scotch eat less meat and drink
whisky instead OF beer, says the Hospital
After maintaining that suicide was less
common among the Scotch it was per-
haps hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience, to go on to say that sui
eide increased with civilization. But
the fact was explained on the ground Of
more injurious diet, that OF civilized man
being more productive Of uric acid and
thus OF suicide than that which prevails
where civilization is less advanced. Uric
acid is, in fact, at the bottom Of all this,
and, according to DR.. Haig, the incidence
of suicide tallies with the daily, annual
and life fluctuations Of uric acid in the
blood, being commonest when uric acid
is most abundant, namely in the morn
ings, in spring and summer.
We have no doubt that errors Of diet
are responsible for much, and among
other things, for certain number OF sui
cides, nay, we would go further and
admit that unsuitable diet, arrangement
ofthe proper relation between nutrition
and waste and the consequent loading OF
the tissues and the blood with abnormal
products of metabolism, have much to
do with that ill-temper and discomfort
which lead men to lay their hands vio-
lently often upon their neighbors and
sometimes on themselves. All this may
be taken for granted, but it is at present
far from proved that the peccant material
is in all cases the same, and still further
are we from being agreed that uric acid
is the origin of the evil.

PATHETIC
COINCIDENCE
Serenaders Sing a Dirge While
a Soldier Lay Dying.
His Life Went Out With the Words
"Break the News TO Mother"

The surgeons and nurses at st Mary's
Hospital were unusually distressed over
the death few days ago of private Hen
ry j. Wind, of Company d, Third New
York Regiment, says the Philadelphia
Times. The hospital attaches had taken
an especial interest in Winds case, and
everything possible was done to save
him. The surgeons, after consultation,
decided that his only chance Of recovery
Jay in the performance OF delicate sur
gical operation. The surgeons did their
work well, but the patient collapsed I'M
der the knife. They carried him back
to his cot in the ward, and realized that
he had but few minutes to live. The
soldier, who seemed to understand his
own condition fully, clutched one Of the
doctors by the sleeve and said: "Oh,
just pull me through doctor; my mother
needs me. She needs me bad" He fell
back, breathing stertoriously, and a
nurse passed her soothing hand over his
hot brow. At that moment the occu-
pants of the room were electrified by the
strangely appropriate strains OF song
that hoatpd through the window from
the street. A quartette of young men,
with exceptionally good voices, was pas
sing the hospital singing:
Just break the news to mother, she
knows how love her,
And tell her not to wait for me for I'm
not coming home:
Just say there is no other can take the
place Of mother,
Then kiss her dear sweet lips for me and
break the news to her
Almost at that very moment the suffer-
er gasped and was dead. The singers
passed on down the street, and the quiet
in the ward was broken only by the low
sobbing of the nurse. There we're tears,
too, in the eyes OF the surgeons.
