Diet and Cancer.
From the London News.

From the London News
OF the 81 4s7 who died of cancer in Eng
land in 1901 probably the majority were
operated upoI. by cutting out the diseased
part. The expectations from radium and
the X-rays will end in disappointment, be-
cause the sources and maintenance of can
Ger lie in the impurities of the blood and
can only be contended against by process
of publication. Cancer Is not formed when
the blood is pure. and will wither away
when it's impure sources are removed. Pure
diet and not too much of it will cure can
Ger. This assertion is sustained by case
described by Mr. Sidney Beard of L>aignton,
Devon. of lady who eighteen months ago
was seen by two consulting surgeons, who
declared that she was suffering from typ-
cal undoubted cancer of the breast An
operation having been declined the patient
was induced to adopt an exceedingly Inn
tied and frditarian diet. Gradually the
activity of the growth ceased. absorption
and the wasting of the tissues slowly &C.
Cured, and today its site is marked by a
scar-lke nodue of material presenting none
of the signs of an active, Malignant
growth. The surgeons are of opinion that
these results are due TO dietetic treatment

Sacred City of Lhassa.

From the London Telegraph.
Very little of the world remains unknown.
Tibet will soon be as well known as China,
the sacred city of Lhassa as little of a
mystery as Picking. A Russian traveller,
NJ. Tsybikof, communicated to the
Geographical Society of ST. Petersburg a
pretty full account of Lhassa, where he
stayed for over twelve NOTWITHSTANDING an
oriental scholar and professedly a Lamaite
by religion. He found the land far less
populous than is commonly supposed, and a
most intolerable proportion of its people
monks. Lhassa, he reports, has no more
than 10000 inhabitants, and two-thirds of
these are women. NJ. Tsybikoff made q
great number of observations on the eli

of prayers and lamentations, written by re-

Spencer No Linguist.

From the London Chronicle.
AS every one knows Mr.. Herbert Spencer
was no linguist. His ill-health-partly as
ISOLATED in large measure with eye strain
prevented him from mastering German He
was similarly ignorant of Greek, whilst his
Latin was of the scantiest. Nevertheless,
his work did not suffer so much as one
might expect from these disabilities He
was so entirely a pioneer-anticipated only
by the Icnian thinkers of twenty-five CEN
turtles ago-that i reading acquaintance
with German would have been of little use
to him. On the other hand, his works
have been very widely translated the won
derful little pamphlet on education being
obtainable in some fifteen languages, in-

What You Will Get,

At any one of these places a man who
has frequented them a little can take
girl to supper for two louis, say IS. For
this he will have bottle of champagne in
a pail, some oysters on the half shell, one
hot dish and one desert.
Principle q Order things that show.
Hunger is not always the sole motive for
supping in restaurants. There Is that so
natural desire not to go to bed yet, not to
quit the person, not to go into the dark out
of the lights and music.
Women in particular appreciate the at
tention of show. 1t is doubtless fact that
a woman who cares a rap for you cares
lot-they are a race of extremists; and
when one of them cares lot for you she
does not give a cuss for what is on what
table, wherever and whatever.
But there are so few who care for you.
And we have such an idiotic tendency to
leave them and invite some girl who does
not care to supper!
Therefore. the champagne In the pail. If
they won't give 1t in a pail, do not return

TrIamphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins:
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
Iuries before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment, Chamberlain S
Pain Balm acts ON this same principle.
1t is an antiseptIc and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
Druggists.
