A Musical Bed.

! A Bombay man has constructed a
bedstead priced at 10000 rupees. 1t is
thus described: "It has at its four cor
ners four full sized, gaudily dressed
Grecian damsels-those at the head
holding banjos, while those on the right
and left hold fans. Beneath the cot Is
a musical box which extends the whole
length Of the cot and is capable Of
playing twelve charming airs. The
music begins the moment the least pres
sure has been brought to bear from the
top, which is created by one sleeping
or sitting, and ceases the moment the
individual rises. While the music is in
progress the lady banjoists at the head
manipulate the strings with their fin
gers and move their heads, while the
two Grecian damsels at the bottom fan
the sleeper to sleep. ....-.

the slow shutting tread of age, and sub
ordinate duties and pleasures to the
capricious whims Of second childhood.
The difference in these two old men is
simply difference of health. The one
old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his
food, sleeps soundly, and keeps his grip
on public affairs. The other old man is
weak and feeble, his appetite and diges-
ton are poor, his sleep is unsound, he
has no interest in life or affairs save as
his personal comfort may be affected.
Healthy old age, whether in man or
woman, is largely question OF sound
stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre-
serve this condition nature generally
needs some assistance, in order to get
rid of the accumulations of waste, effete
and poisonous substances which tend
to clog the body and impede the circu-
lation. 1t is also needful to keep the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts in healthy condition, in order to
properly nourish the body.
HEALTH IN OLD AGE
can, therefore, best be enjoyed by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This medicine cures diseases of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. 1t enables the per-
feet digestion and assimilation of the
food upon which physical strength de-
ponds. 1t cleanses the blood of clog
ging and poisonous matter, and by in
creasing the activity of the blood-tnaking
glands, increases the supply of pure,
rich blood, which is the final form of
nutrition and the life of the whole phys
ical man.
