SICK WOMEN

are invited to consult Dr. R. " Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N ", by letter, without fee or
charge of any kind. DR.. Pierce is a
specialist in the diseases of women. He
has treated over half-a-inillion women
for diseases of the wonnarly organs and
ninetv-eight ont of every hundred women
he has treated have been absolutely and
perfectly cured. Every letter received
BY DIR. Pierce, is treated as purely per-
sonal and private communication and its
contents guarded as a sacred confidence.
All answers to these letters are sent IN
sealed envelopes bearing upon them no
printing or advertising whatever.
Write to the doctor. 1t is no use for
sick women to write to a man unless he
is doctor. 1t is no use to write to
woman unless the woman is doctor.
Write to woman about cookery or any
branch of housekeeping, because she is
woman and knows. But it is of no use
to write to a woman about disease unless
she has doctors training and diploma.
A woma. who isn't doctor is just as dam
gerous as q man who isn't a doctor, when
she undertakes to treat disease.
There is no qualified woman physician
so far as is known connected with any
proprietary medicine put up for women.
Even the "bearded wornan," the man
who advertises "write to a woman" is
not a qualified physician and stands too
much in fear of the law to claim that he is.
There is no other physician, male or
female, who, like DR.. Pierce has record
of over thirty years, as chief consulting
physician of we'll known institution,
making speciality of the private treat
ment of wornens diseases.
Write to the doctor-Dr. R. V. Pierce,

Marshall Hall. the famous English ply
stefan, made his classical observations on
the phenomena that henceforth were to
be known as reflex action. In 1892 while
experimenting one day with a decapitat-
ed newt, he observed that the headless
creatures limbs would contract in direct
response to certain stimuli. Such a re-
Spouse could no longer be secured if the
spinal nerves supplying a part were sew
cred; hence it was clear that responsive
ccnters exist in the spinal cord capable
of receiving n sensory message and of
transmitting n motor impulse in reply, a
function hitherto supposed to be reserved
for the brain. Further studies went to
show that such phenomena of reflex &C.

are extremely common: that. in short.
they enter constantly into the activities
of every living organism and have n most
important share in the sum total OF vita
movements; hence Halls discovery must
always stand rs one of the great mile
stones OF the advance of neurological sci
ence.-Henry Smith Williams in Har-

40 BuS or Wagon Has Ever TrnycrS-
ed Its Winding Streets.
Eight miles due east, over the moan
tains from Catorce station. on the McXi-
can National railroad. is the city of that
name. a city along whose steep. winding
streets neither wagon nor cart, neither
stage nor bus, nor any other wheeled
vehicle was ever known to pass, al
though it has often boosted of n popula-
ton of 10000 souls. The city takes its
name from once being the stronghold and
the property of band of II of the most
daring, desperate, dangerous and success
full robbers that ever laid tribute on roads
in Mexico. They discovered, and for
many years worked. the rich deposits of
silver that abound in this entire section
OF the country--deposits the value of
which, if current report he true, for hun
dreds of years outrivaled the my thical
riches related of Ophir. Strange to re-
late, every piece of machinery, every
pound of freight and every passenger TIC
and from Catorce is transported today,
of men or mules.
Catorce is one of the most interesting
place in Mexico. Here are found the
customs OF MEXICO Ill lnelr purity, unar-
fected by the influence Of the stranger.
Difficult of access, the town can only be
reached by horseback or on foot. Cutorce
has seldom been visited by any except
those making business trips. The ride up
the mountains into the town is some
thing. once accomplished. always to be
remembered, partly from its element of
personal peril. but more because of the
beauty of the landscape encountered at
every turn. CHANGING down rs you near
your journeys end. you catch n CLEAN of
the white walls of Los Catorce outlined
against the green of the mountain side.
The real Catorce is built on the side
of a ravine near the top of the range. and
has 4 varying population of from 5000 to
10000. as the mines are paying we'll or
poorly. Here are found all varieties of
silver ore, from carbonates to the refac-
tory orc. assayins $4,000 to the ton.
Catorce has fine cathedral. richly deco
rated. and Il pretty plaza. the only level
spot in the place. To use a railroad
phrase. it is combination of cut and
ill, so that to tumble into it on one side
and out on the other would be extremely
disastrous. The streets are neatly paved,
and run up and down hill. many of them
at an angle of 40 degrees.-San Fran

Medical scientists, says science Sift-
ings. have now demonstrated that a brain
cell actually loses part of its substance
during action. The cell of the exhaust
ed brain, instead of being plump and full
of nervous matter, is found to be hollow
ed out, or ''vacuolated," cavity having
formed without its substance, which has
become filled with water. This means
that n part of the cell substance has
been actually consumed. precisely as coal
is consumed when one gets heat from a
furnace.
1t has been found that if an animal
whose brain cells are thus exhausted be
permitted to sleep. its cells readily re-
cuprrate. new material is supplied from
the blood until the cell is as good as new.
The brain of person, therefore. who is
beset by slecplessncss is in the condition
of a locomotive which runs night and
day without going to the repair shop.

MORNING IN THE ALPS.

Upon the distance Of the cast had grown
A light that made the dim horizon blue.
The blue stealing upward through the stars,
But vaguely dark the cloud hung beneath
Within whose silent food the world was drowned.
Beyond the misty sulf, through furthest space
There stretched continent Of snowclad Alps;
10, there was deaths land. grisly white and dim,
With hueless clouds Ike specters guarding it.
We felt the dawn growing, but, alas,
A dawn unreal, dawn without hirn,
Without dewy scent waking sound
Slowly the Alps took densrr white,
With outlines clear emerging into day;
The mists were gently stripped from distant
peaks,
The clouds grew gray with ilmy sprays upcurled
Above, the stars, like Intellectual points,
No longer pierced the deepening blue OF day.
Whittier and clearer grew the Alpine hosts,
The eastern sky famed redder while one gazed,
And faintening purple climbed the zenith's height.
Then suddenly was cast upon the sky
Far in the west glow OF ruddy light,
That settled earthward till jhtting peak
Flushed opaline amid the saze OF white.
Anon another snowcap blushed response.
It was as if torch unseen were swung.
Mount after mount the flying radiance caught,
Flashing it back again from FURNISHED breasts.
As mornings pink down the icy waste
The cast unsheathed dazzling tip of flame.

Siamese paupcrs and criminals are not
cremated when they die. but taken to a
temple, where their bodies are cut in
three places and laid out in the temple
inclosure. where they are drvoured by
pariah dogs and flock of yulturcS kept
there for that purpose.
The Siamese count their years by sets
OF II, each year bearing the name of
some animal. Persons born in years the
animals of which are hostile must not
marry. Thus Il union between man
born in the year of the tiger with Il girl
born in the year of the rabbit would be
very unfortunate for her.
