NO CATCHING AT sTRAWs.

Drowning men, they say, will catch
at straws. Naturally enough, because
they see nothing better to catch at.
1t is the principle Of any port in
storm. All the same the straw does
not save the drowning man, nor is the
tempeSt-tossed mariner likely to find
safe harbor every time he runs for
the shore. The scientifically con-
structed life preserver is better than
a straw, and to know how to ride out
a storm is better than to trust to luck
in finding port in time of need. Just
so it is in disease and all manner of
sickness. When your life is threat
ened by disease you naturally desire
mode Of treatment founded on alb
solute knowledge-a treatment that
has proved effective in other cases
like your own. This is the common
sense Of the subject and no one will
dispute it. And tits because the we'll
