They Are Reliable.

The American Farmer is sincere In
what it says and whenever 1t endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand Is true. For year or more
there have been endorsements of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know IL this company is responsible,
and If its remarkable remedies, for the
cure Of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
sia, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
" had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement Of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect In fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But. it is case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman Of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer Of this article.

tie of "5 Drops" for 25c or a large
bottle, 300 doses, for 81, prepaid by

Physician Thinks He Has Discovered tho
Reason Of self-Destruotion.
DR.. IIaig is OF opinion that suicide
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 by
pothesis. Are there not more suicides
among men than among women, and
10 not men consume more meat, more
,eer and more tobacco than the wom-
en-? Again, suicide is more common In
England than in Scotland, not appar-
emily because the Scotch are 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. After
maintaining that suicide was less COM
mon among the Scotch, it was perhaps
hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience, to go on to say that
suicide 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 ad-
vanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the
bottom Of all this, and, according to
DR.. Haig, the incidence of suicide al
lies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations of uric acid in the blood.
being commonest when uric acid is
most abundant We have no doubt
that errors of diet are responsible for
much, and, among other things, for
certain number of suicides, nay, we
would go further and admit that IN
suitable diet, arrangement Of the prop
err relation between nutrition and
waste, and the consequent loading OF
the tissues and the blood with abnor-
NAL products of metabolism, have much
to do with that i'll temper and discon-
tent which lead men to lay their hands
violently, 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 pee
cant material is in all cases the same,
and still further are we from being
agreed that uric acid is the origin OF
the evil.
