Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The wild Men Of RonI.

The Brothers Sarrasin, two Swiss
explorers, who are now travelling in
the little known parts of Cslebes, have
met with wild Jungle tribe in the
mountains of Boni, so shy that they
viii not venture out by day, and will
only carry on trade at night. The ex.
plorers interviewed party made up
of one man, two women and one child.
They live high up in the mountains,
grow maize, are Homogeneous, cannot
reckon. and. strange to say, do not
know what lying is. These specimens
lay under the disadvantage of being
but half-wild. The explorers were as
sured that the wilder ones defended
themselves against intruders by
throwing stones. The explorers were
hindered from further researches, but
intended to return to the neighbor-
hood. Some of the tribesmen would
not let the explorers pass, and had to
be overawed by force.

The Coughing Rean.

Man, or even the animal kingdom,
has no monopoly of coughing. or even
getting red in the face, in an effort to
throw on foreign substances. Before
there was a vertebrate on the earth,
while man was in process Of evolution,
through the vegetable world, Etada
Tussein-that is what the botanists
call him, while we know him as the
coughing bean'-coughed, got red in
the face and blew the dust out of his
lungs. Recently botanists have been
giving special attention 10 this bean,
and tell interesting things about it. 1t

countries, and objects most emphatic

Of getting rid OF Objectionable matter.
When dust settles on the breathing
pores in the leaves Of the plant and
chokes them, a gas accumulates in

sure there cones an explosion, with a
sound exactly like coughing, and the
dust is blown from its Judgement. And
more strange, the plant gets red in the
face through the effort.
