The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The DOCTORS treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state OF
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
s. So goes down to the very bottom OF
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
MI. E. K. s. olinkenbeard, promi-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes:
Two years ago was great sufferer
from Rheumatism. 1 had tried every
remedy could hear of except s. S. s.
I had been to Hot Springs, Ark, where
l remained for twelve weeks under
treatment, but experienced no perma-
nent relief, and returned home, be-
ieying that would be sufferer as
long as lived. At a time when my
pains were almost unbearable,

FINGER FOR A NEW NOSE.
The Remarkable Operation of London
Surgeon ION a Noseless Man.

The Remarkable Operation of London
Surgeon ion Noseless Man.
The achievements of American sur
geons in bold and extraordinary opera
.tions have long been the wonder of the
world. But now from the other side
of the Atlantic comes n story which
shows that the old country is waking
up bit in the art of ENGRAVING human
flesh. A young man has put his finger
to his nose, and it remains there per-
manently.
A few months ago, says the New
York World, youth whose nasal or
gan was missing, as the result of an
accident, called at Charing Cross hos
pital, London, with the request that
the surgeons would supply the de-
ficiency, artifcially or 9th erwise. He
expressed himself as willing to under
go any sort of treatment by which his
disfgured face might be made fairly
presentable, and not absolutely re-
pulsive to his best Sunday summer
girl. Mr.. Bloxam, the senior surgeon,
took the interesting case in hand.
First, the amputated finger of an
other patient was carved and fash
toned to the semblance of a nose, and
then securely grated on the face. But
it was found that this muti1ated digi-
tai appendage had not survived its cut
ting up. 1t was ''dead," and failed to
take fresh root.
The noseless man, nothing daunted,
thereupon agreed to the surgeons sug-
geStion that one of his own (the pa
tient's) fingers should be cut off to fur
nish nasal organ. But in order that
the finger should not be wasted in the
event of this operation being unsuc-
cessful, it was only half amputated.
The patients arm being encased in
plaster, for four weeks he held his own
live finger to his face in the hope of its
taking root. This it did. The portion
which was still attached to his hand
was then cut through and soon joined
the rest in adhering firmly to the face.
Although minus q finger, the young
man now has a new nose of his own
flesh and blood.
The transferred cartilage has been so
manipulated by clever Dr. 'Bloxam that
its original identity is entirely lost,
and the further. process of shaping it is
now being proceeded with. 1t is not
known whether the plucky young
Briton prefers the ''nez retrousse" or
the aquiline. He will doubtless he in
a position to take his choice. He is
certainly not the sort of man to be con-
tent with any sort of nose that hap
pens to turn up.

Southern Forests Disappearing.

Southern ForesIs Disappearing.
In Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
other southern states the grand old for
ests of pine are rapidly disappearing.
The destroyers seem to have no thought
for the future. They take no steps to
replace that which they take away.
The influence of forests upon rainfall,
moisture and, seasons is pretty well
understood. The point has about been
reached at which it is necessary that
something should be done to put a stop
to forest destruction. If steps to that
end are not taken it will not be great
while before this section will suffer q
succession of droughts, floods and severe
storms. There should be some way of
preserving the forests for the general
good. Our people are selling their birth
right for q mess of pottage. 1t is well
enough that lands should be cleared up
for settl ement, but millions of acres Of
forests are disappearing every year.
