The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass in thousands of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, a weakling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters of thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fly have
never been conquered. 1t is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, SO that they will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies Of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house.
fly spreads germs of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find place in our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR.. R, Y. Pierce, chief consulting physi.
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says: "There
would be no grip epidemics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; to be safe it is best to take gentle
laxative at least once week" Such a
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as
tissue-builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarri, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use of alcohol.

on receipt OF stamps to pay expense of

In these weird caverns one may descend

enough to lie down on, and we were

cavern sloped steeply and led down to
an ugly opening Of unknown depth be.

the life line was stretched across the
