 I will write dull but instructive para graph. It begins with list of bad things, to wit: rheumatism, gout, bronchitis, liver complaint, kidney complaint, affections of the skin, asthma, all forms of nervous ail- ments, pneumonia, epilepsy, insanity we'll, that will do. The question is, what is the real cause of these ailments? As the children say, what ''na0kss'' them? The answer is, >Poisons manufactured in the di- gestive system. Cure the indigestion and you cure the fruits of it. That is the truth, and it is common sense also. Fail to cure the cause and you may doctor any of it's consequences through pain cursed lifetime, always in vain. All con- tagious or infectious diseases select their victims from people weakened by bad digestion, or by insufficient nutrition. If you don't believe me ask the plague and cholera experts. At present the lead. ing medicine for indigestion, chronic dys- pepsia, sluggish liver, incompetent kid neys and slow cell Transportation is Calcura Solvent, discovery from the medical workshop of Dr. David Kennedy, of Kings ton, N. Y. It is tremendous fighter oi disease, and usually conquers. It is one oi the neao things that make men wonder The sick praise it with open mouth and thankful hearts, Tell the druggist to give you a bottle of Calcura Solvent, Dr. Ken nedy's new medicine else.

THE AUTOS DUST
A French Savant Who Says It Is
b. Deadly Because There's So
Much of It.
Health Commissioner Hall Says the
Bubbles" Are Too Few to
Create Danger Here. y.

Another class of public guardians is
after the deadly automobile. This class
is made up of those who are interested
in preserving the public health through
the prevention of disease. Dust from
streets and roads, they say, is full of
germs, germs that prey. Automobiles
are great dust raisers, especially the
scorching type so common in France. A
voice has therefore been raised in Paris
against the "auto" as foe to the pub
lie health. 1t is the voice Of DR.. Gugliel-
minetti Of Monte Carlo, who has writ
ten at some length of his studies In La
Slubrite. a Paris publication, in which he
says:
Dust Is partly organic, belonging to
the vegetable and animal Kingdoms, as
the debris of silk, wool or coal; partly
both organic and living, such as germs,
or microbes, of all kinds floating in the
air or spread over the ground; and partly
mineral, the debris Of stone and pave
ments. Particles of this kind, which have
all at first sharp edges or points, cause
actual wounds to the mucous membranes,
| which, without regarding the resulting in
hammation, are veritable open doors for
! microbic incubation" DR.. Guglielminetti
remarks that the use of automobiles has
caused an increase, not of the quantity
of dust, but Of the quantity raised and
| suspended in the air. 1T is estimated that
| an automobile stirs up more dust than
| twenty carriages, especially because the
motors exhaust perpendicularly to the
ground, and blow violently on the dust.
which, together with the speed Of the
vehicle, causes the dust to float higher
than it otherwise would. We must not
forget that a gram Of dust contains about
2,4O0. 900 microbes
! Health Commissioner Hall Is keenly
alive to the dangers and discomforts at
tending the raising Of large quantities OF
dust in the city, but has not yet found 1t
practicable to take any action. Regard
ing the use of automobiles, he says that
| he realizes the force Of DR.. Guglielminet-
| tbs argument, but does not believe that
these vehicles are sufficiently common in
| this city to cause any considerable in
crease in dust. He says that the dub
bles'' are more amenable at present tt
police regulation than to control by the
| health department.
