show man the way to long and healthy
life.
Common sense teaches that man should
not oveT-work or over-worry; that he should
take ample time for his meals, for resting
and for recreation and sleep; that he should
not neglect the little ills of life because
they are the precursors of serious and fatal
maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to
make com binations of drugs that were i1r-
possible in the days of the alchemists.
Medical science has taught when. how and
why these combinations of drugs should
be used. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is the most valuable of all health
restoring medicines, and the most effective
Its first work is upon the fountain head of
life-the stomach. A man who has weak
and impaired stomach and who does not
properly digest his food will soon find that
his blood has become weak and impover-
ished, and that his whole body is improp-
erly and insufficiently nourished. This
medicine makes the stomach strong, facil-
hstes the flow of digestive juices, restores
the lost appetite, makes assimilation per
feet, iuvigorates the liver and puriies and
enriehes the blood. 1t is the great blood
maker, hesh- builder and nerve tonic. 1t
makes men strong in body, active i'll mind
and cool in judgment
It does not make habby Eat, but solid,
muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en-
ergy. All medicine dealers sell it.

A Recent Egyptian Discovery.

1t has hitherto been supposed that in
Egypt the practice of embalming the
bodies of the dead and forming them
into mummies was the most ancient
method of sepulture; but Prof. Film
ders Petrie, the well-known Egyptolo-
gist, has, by recent excavations, thrown
quite a new light upon this question
of the ancient method of disposing of
the dead At Deshasheh, place about
so miles south of Cairo, he has discov-,
cred series of tombs in the coffins of
which he has found complete skeletons
from which the flesh has been carefully
dissected, evidently previous to burial.
The coffins are of admiral BILE workman
ship, are made of sycamore and are in
perfect preservation, Notwithstanding
their 5000 years burial in the sand.
1t remains to be proved by further ex-
cavations whether the mutilation of
the bodies was performed as a cere-
monial rite or whether. his removal of
flesh from the bones points to cannibal-
ism on the part of the ancient people.

Women -or= ~ Old,

The medicur PROFESSION, it may not
be generally known, has had many
skillful women practitioners since re-
mote antiquity. Women practitioners
have been practicing in Europe
since the third century before
Christ, and their genius has done
much to develop the science. The
first regular qualified woman physi-
clan in Europe on record was Agnodice
a native of Athens. At that time it was
against the law for woman to study
medicine. Agnodice succeeded in pass
ing through the college, however, dis
guised as a man, and graduated with
honors in 300 B. G. After receiving her
degree she practiced among the women
of Athens with extraordinary success.
In time, however, her secret leaked out,
and she was arrested and imprisoned.
The women of Athens upon hearing
this raised such storm of protest that
she was finally released Chicago
