Age of London Bridge.

London bridge will be seventy-three
years old on August list, for 1t was on that
date 1881 that it was formally opened by
the King and Queen OF England. The ia
nous American remedy Hostetters Stom-
ach Bltters is now in its 51st year, being
first introduced in 1853, and when you
consider the fact that it has been before
the public continuously all those years
you must realize the merit it contains
without which it would have failed long
ago. Today however, finds it more pop
ular than ever, especially among men and
women who suffer from poor appetite
cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrh9a, dys
pepsia, indigestion, constipation or ma
laria. Don't fail to try it. The genuine
has our Private Stamp over the neck o.
the bottle.

New Light on Cancer.
New York Tribune. ]

4 preliminary report, showing the prog
res5 already effected, has just been made
by the investigators who have been at
work for a year or two under the tndow-
ment known as the British Cancer Re-
search fund. Nothing like a final dis
cussion of the subject is undertaken. 1t
looks as if a direct reference to the many
supposed discoveries of n cancer germ had
been avoided, too for the present. Still,
some of the facts which are LOW made
public have a bearing on the main ques-
ton of causation.
The report shows that many more crea-
lures are afflicted with cancerous growths
than has been commonly supposed Saw
age human races, domestic animals, wild
animals in captivity, wild animals living
in state of nature and even salt water
fishes, are victims of such disorders. 1t
is not yet practicable to show what per-
centage of any one species suffers, or
what is the rate of mortality. 1t has
been shown beyond question, though, that
| the sarcoma and carcinoma to which an
| finals and fishes are subject are identical
| in character with those forms of cancer
| in man. Suspicious that such was the
case may have been entertained before,
but never until now has the demonstration
| been so complete.
From the wide geological distribution OF
cancer which is here revealed number
of legitimate differences may be drawn.
| Foremost among them Is the conclusion
| that malignant tumors are in no way 4
product of civilization. Some diseases OF
the kidneys in man are clearly traceable
to injudcious dietary indulgences. De-
rangements of the nervous system fire.
/ quently result from excuses or overwork
Near sightedness and numerous other or
ganic affections are believed TO be the
products of abnormal modes of living ol
foolish fashions in dress. None OF these
troubles beset the horse, the dog, the
tiger or the salmon. When therefore, Il
is found that cancer exercises a wide sway
| in the animal kingdom, it is safe to sa!
that nothing peculiarly human is RESPONSE
BILE for its development. By thus mar
rowing the limits within which the cause
is to be sought, a successful termination
of the inquiry is certainly promoted.
