CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION
The SlOCum System is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths is More Potent
Than Air Alone.


If those Of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see greater or less number of their
friends and neighbors dying of con-
sumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid the refreshing prairie
breezes of summer; in the fair and mel
low days of autumn, and also in the dry
and sunny seasons of southern winter.
ESuch deaths amid such favorable sur
roundings afford positive and convinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption; that neither pine
laden breezes nor bracing mountain air
will restore weak lungs or build up
constitution that is being undermined
and broken down by the insidious germs
OF fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie all over this country, who have been
cured by the DR.. Slocum System of
Treatment, and are today in the enjoy
ment of perfectly restored health and
strength, afford the most convincing
evidence that this treatment, aided by
favorable climatic conditions and sur
roundings, is a positive cure for Con-
sumption and all other chronic diseases
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the seashore or to southern eli
mates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the
full benefits of favorable climatic condi-
tons and scientific medication.
The Dr. Slocum System Of Treatment
consisting of Four Preparations is both
medicine and food. The medicines used
in it allay the cough and lung irritation,
heal the soreness and subdue the pains
in the throat, overcome shortneSs Of
breath, improve the appetite and diges-
ton, and bring comfort, rest and re-
freshing sleep, while its food properties
are building up the constitution, enrich
ing the blood and infusing the sufferer
with new life and vigor.
No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied
In the DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
will. More than quarter of century
has been devoted to perfecting this
System of Treatment; every indication,
every symptom in Consumption and
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
has been carefully studied in the devel-

in the place of worship, to convey
their souls to the world of light or to
the gloomy ream of Erik.
No lot is SO unhappy as that of pa
rents who have no children to pray
for them. Never so long as he lived,
was Tuduc, the emperor of AMMAN,
free from the melancholy caused by
his cbildless old age.
Adoption furnishes substitute at
a pinch. The distaste for emigration,
with the accompanying dread of death
separated from the next kin, is con-
nected with the desire of share in
tn. worship OF an ancestors. Ances-
tors live along with the living, rejoice
and suffer with them. If the son rises
in the ladder of rank, he begs for the
promotion of past members of his fam
lily. The eighteen golden tables of
ancestors in the Hall of Forefathers at
Hue remind US how ancestor worship
makes the cult of the souls Of great
sovereigus sacred affair for the whole
people.
The two great religions of Asia are
Brahminism and Buddhism. In 1891
the former counted 20O,O000O0 ad-
herents in India. To Buddhism be-
long all eastern Asia and half the
south and center.
DR.. Ratzsl tells US that the ancient
Vedic religion of India is preserved by
thousands of monks, who speaks only
Sanskrit, and despise alike Brahmin-
ism, Buddhism and Christianity, or
dinary Hindus and Englishmen.
The study of Asiatc religions Is a
tremendous and fascinating one.
From mountain peaks in the widest
parts Of the continent great monaster-
les and temples look down upon you.
They have stood there since a time
when Europe had not emerged from
the crudest barbarism and remind us
that Asiatic civilization is infinitely
older than European and may be des-
tined to outlIve it.

The Human Body.

Human beings are Of all sizes, but
the tall man is less common than the
short only one man in $50 exceeds
the height of six feet For every foot
of stature a man should weigh from
&c to28 pounds,a proportion that Is not
the lot of all in these hurrying, scurry-
ing days.
An averaged-sized man weighs lao
pounds, woman l25 pounds. Cun-
ously enough, the mean height and
weight of lunatics are below those of
sane people. Another unexpected
thing in this respect is that Negro s
skeleton weighs more than that of an
Englishman.
The vitalizing power is the blood, a
drop of which takes but % seconds to
90 the round of the body. There
passes through the heart once in every
three minutes an amount Of this pre-
cious fluid equal to all that is contained
in the body.
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astonishing and undream-
ed-of truths. 1t is estimated that, as
suming the averaged speed of the
heart to be 90 beats minute, the
blood travels 270 yards in 80 seconds
in other words, seven miles an hour
l6S day, or 81 ,329 year.
Ifa man Of 81 could have one single
blood corpuscle floating in his blood
all his life, it would have travelled in
that period no less than, $3.50, 88C
miles.
The average weight of the brain Of
the adult male is three pounds eight
ounces; of female two pounds -four
ounces. The womans brain begins tc
decline in weight after the age 90
and mans not until ten years latsr
According to high authorities the
nerves with their branches and minute
ramihcations connecting with the brain
exceed 100000 in number.
The palms of the hands and sol.s o.
feet are composed Of cashions Of fat
in order that sudden jolts and violent
blows may be successfully resisted and
no injury done to the muscles and
bone underneath.
The muscles-of which the tongue
monopolizes eleven-and bones Of the
human structure in combination are
capable Of more than l 200 different
motions.
The teaching Of experience indicates
that accidents are far more likely To
occur to the right leg and arm than tc
the left. Further evidence Of thii
fact is supplied by makers of artifcla
limbs; they dispose of many more ap'
pendages to the right side of the body
than to the other. Statistics show
that in ffty-four cases out Of a hun.
