SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by one Bottle OF ChamberialN's

vile, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by TAX
ing teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would
come on at night I would take a
dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would
pass off and I would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its
accompanying pains. To say that
the remedy acted as a most agree.
able surprise is putting it very
mildly. I had no idea that 1t could
or would knock out the grip, SIM
ply because I had never tried it
for such purpose, but it did, and
it seemed with the second attack
of coughing the remedy caused it
to be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and /
had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me

Beauty and strength

Are desirable. You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood is
pure. Many-nay most women
fail to properly digest their food
and SO become pale, sallow, thin
and weak, while the brightness,
freshness and beauty of the skin
and complexion, depart. Remedy
this unpleasant evil, by eating
nourishing food, and taking a
small dose of Herbine after
each meal, to digest what you
have eaten. IkeIman Bros.

THE HOME CIRCLE
Beautiful Love-

1t is something sweet, when the
world goes i'll,
To know you are faithful and love
me still;
To feel, when the sunshine has left
the skies,
That the light is shining in your
dear eyes
Beautiful eyes! more dear to me
Than all the wealth of the world
could be.
1t is something, dearest, to feel you
near
When life, with it's sorrows, seems
hard to bear;
To feel, when I falter, the clasp di-
vine
Of your tender and trusting hand in
mine
Beautiful hand! more dear to me
Than the tenderest things of earth
could be.
Sometimes, dearest, the world goes
wrong,
For God gives grief with his gift of
song,
And poverty, too! But your love is
more
To me than riches and golden store
Beautiful love! until death shall part
1t is mine-as you are-my own
sweetheart!

lessons between the matters eyes: the
chicks can run barefooted and pet
acquainted with the green old earth:
and life is worth while. And this
brings me to my moral, which, as
every one knows, in most well-rcgu-

the motto, my friend, and I hope you
will place it where your eys may light
upon it many times during the day:
"There is no sorrow known but out

This is no hasty generalization no
aphorism put in to pad the paper, no
trick Of words to- attract the careless
reader; but the philosophers stone
which has tremendously risen to me
from a deep well of years. After the
just mentioned deep well of years

convictions I possess, but this is one
I hold to with strong faith:
There is no sorrow known but out

boxes. shook out the clothing and
hung it around the room 1t is eV1-
dent that it would have been impos-
sib1e in a small room of 14x2O feet
to have hung clothing from three
large boxes in any way SO that the
inmates could avoid constant con-
tact. These men lived here for twen-
ty days. At the end of that time
they were placed In quarantine for
five days, but they did not develop
the disease. Further experiments
went on for sixty-three days, and
conditions were made still more try
ing, but not a single individual de-
veloped the fever.
To settle the question, How does a
house become infected with yellow
fever? a second house was built, dl-
vided into two rooms separated by
wire screens. Everything in this
house was carefully d~isinfected by
steam, and then into the large room
a number of infected mosquitoes
were introduced. A susceptible in
dividual entered this room and per-
mitted himself to be bitten a number
of times and after three days deyel-
oped yellow fever. Two non-im-
munes slept in this house for eigh-
teen nights in the part of the room
which was screened from mosquitoes
and did not develop the disease.
Of eleven conclusions which the
commission formulated as a result
of their Investigations, four are of
immediate public interest.
CD Yellow fever is transmitted by
means Of the bite of a mosquito. %
Yellow fever cannot be conveyed by
contact with articles of clothing sup
posedly contaminated, and disinfec-
ton of such articles is therefore I'M
necessary. 90 A house may be said
to be infected with yellow fever only
when there are present contaminated
mosquitoes. ca The spread of yell
low fever can be most effectually con-
trolled by measures directed to the
destruction of mosquitoes and pro-
lection against the bites of these in
sects.-Dr. A. T. Bristow in the

A HIGH FORM OF HERoIsM.

lingly n Deliberately CnaL Tue WOAAu
Might Learn to Conquer the Yellow
Feve.. Scourge.
The story of medical investigation
tells of self-sacriice and courage
that transcends the bravery of the
soldier on the battlefield. The eX
element of battle buoys the soldier
up so that he forgets danger, and he
remembers the old adage, every bull
let has it's billet" But when a man
in cold blood deliberately allows a
mosquito, which has fed-en yellow
fever patients for days, to bite him,
and this with the full knowledge that
he may become infected with n of
the most rapidly fatal of all the
tropic fevers; when men wrap them
selves in the clothing taken from
yellow fever corpses, and so clad lie
down to sleep on beds covered with
filthy blankets and sheets from vel
low fever hospitals, with soiled tow
els from yellow fever patients spread
on their pillows, and so spend their
nights for three weeks, we can call it
real heroism, courage or sacrifice. 1t
is all three. Briefly told, the story
of the investigation of the United
States Yellow Fever Commission in
Cuba is as follows:
As the cause of yellow fever is un-
known, and as animals are immune
to this disease, it was necessary that
all experiments be conducted upon
human beings who, never having had
the fever, were therefore susceptible,
In order to test the thory that mos
q%uitoes convey the fever from sick
to healthy individuals, it was neces-
sary for the investigators to submit
themselves and their volunteers to
the bites of insects known to have
bitten yellow fever patients. The in
vestigation went on, and these men
exposed themselves to certain infec-
ton until they had proved beyond
reasonable doubt that the mosquito
was-a conveyer of yellow fever.
An important question still re-
NAMED unanswered: Could the fever
be conveyed by contact with cloth.
ing, or contracted by sleeping in q
house in which yellow fever patients
had died, provided mosquitoes were
excluded? This question was tested
in the following way: A small house
was built, consisting of one room
14x2O feet. It was tightly ceiled anC
we'll battened on the outside. It was
provided with two small windows
26x34 inches, so placed as to prevent
any thorough ventilation within. In
fact, everything was done to invite
infection, if this were possible, with.
out the aid of mosquitoes. Entrance
to the house was effected through q
vestibule arranged after the manner
of an airlock in a caisson, the vesti
bule being divided in it's middle by g
screen door protected without by 8
solid door and having a second wire
door across the inner entrance. The
windows were also carefully screened
