SEEKING A LOST ART.
Modern Scientists safsIsd In Efforts
to Temper Copper.

to Temper Copper.
Fame and fortune await the lucky
Individual who can rediscover the COM
bination Of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas
Of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each Of these nations reached
a high state Of civilization. none Of
them ever discovered iron, in spite of
the fact that the soil Of all these coun-
tries was largely impregnated with 1t.
Their substitute, for 1t was . combina-
tion of metals which had the temper
of steel Despite the greatest efforts
the secret Of this composition has bai-
fed scientists and has become . Lost
art. The great explorer Humboldt
tried to discover 1t from an analysis
OF chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could
hnd out was that 1t appeared to be !
combination Of small portion Of tin
with copper. This combination will
not give the hardness Of steel. 30 1t
is evident that tin and copper couli
not have been its only component
parts. Whatever might have been
the nature OF the metallic combinR-
ton, these ancient races were able
so to prepare pure copper that 1t
equaled In temper the finest steel pro-
duced at the present day by the most
scientifically approved process. With
their bronze and copper Instruments
they were able to quarry and shape
the hardest known stones. such as
granite and porphyry. and even cut
emeralds and like substances. A re-
discovery Of this lost art would revo-
lutionize many trades In which steel
at present holds the monopoly. II COP
per could thus be tempered now Its
advantage over steel would be very
great and 1t would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter In numerous indus
tries. 1t is curious fact that though
this lost secret still bafies modern
scientists 1t must have been discov-
cred independently by the three races
which made use OF It SO long ago.

the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out sickly existence.
When the stomach is diseased, and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The storn-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality. What is known as "weak
heart or rweak" lungs, vweak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by vweak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by a diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. DIR. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
