Rheumatism and the Ewes.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1Sth.-Mr. r. A.
Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city whose opinion on legal
matters is unquestioned, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
matter of medicine. Mr. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight, and further that
there is no case of the kind that can
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for both
statements have a living and indis-
putable proof in the person of the
great lawyer himself, who as a result

PEOPLE AND
EVENTS
PROF. SMEDLEY AND SPELLING

Professor Smedley and his assistants
In the department of child study Of the
Chicago public schools are trying to
find out why so many children do not
learn to spell. That they do not is ad-
mitted by the fact of the investigation.
And this admission is doubly interest
Ing because it comes from Professor
Smedley. Professor Smedley's investi-
cations so far seem to be confined to
physical conditions. He suggests that
improperly fed children have weaker
memories as we'll as bodies. Defective
eyes are also suggested as another rea-
son for bad spelling. The theory is that
the child, not seeing the word correct
ly in the first place, is unable to re-
produce it correctly. In this latter the
DRY there seems to be a point which
the lay mind concerned with results.
and observing that the spelling results
Of Chicago school training are decid-
edly poor, may reflect upon with prof
it. The old system, by which children
were taught to spell by steady prac-
tice in vocal combining of letters into
words, is regarded as very crude and
bad by the apostles Of the new meth
DDS" For it has been largely super
seeded by what is called "the visual
method which seems to be that a
child shall first be taught what word
looks like as whole and then shall
learn to spell it by taking it to pieces
and trying to put the pieces together
again.

St Jacobs OH for Chest-Colds, Bron-
chitis, Group and PIeurisy.

An outward application for bron-
chial difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix
ture, cod liver oil, &C., simply because
it penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is, as rule, an accumu-
lation of matter or growth tightly ad-
hered to the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables it to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration. Cases
have been known where eXpectorations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir-
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the broncha is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties Of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases
OF croop and whoOping cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found su-
perior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not at
all greasy or oily, as its name might
imply. For rheumatism. govt. sciatica,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,
sore throat bronchitis, soreness, stiff
ness, bruises, toothache headache,
backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoul-
ders, pains in the limbs. and all bodily
aches and pains it has no equal. It
acts like magic Safe, sure, and never
failing.

What the World OMeA Asia.

On the whole. when the continent of
continents is fairly viewed in her
length and fullness of history as in
her breadth and wealth of land, Asia
must be held at once the cradle of hu-

nursery of the worlds religions, and
all right-thinking men must hope that
the debt of the western world to the
queenly continent will be paid in full
measure, and in pease and good will

The maiden. IN memory of the great
event OF the evening. forgot the cause
of fear that had been with her. 1t
was a secret she could not keep-a Sc
