The best disinfectant of all is sunlight
It destroys by its very brightness all sorts
of germs and at the same time helps the
growth of plants and animal life. Doubt
less all have noticed that mould grows
during the night and in dark, damp cellars
Bright sunlight quickly destroys germs,
mould or other organisms That is why it
is best to let the sunlight into your houses
for its purifying influence.
At the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, Buffalo, N. V, DR.. Pierce, chief cor
sulting surgeon, started experiments, some
three years ago, with the Finsen light in
conjunction with the X-ray in the treat
ment of diseases He got excellent results
therefrom, and was among the first to adapt
this remarkable cure to many cases which
it was formerly supposed must of necessity
be treated by the knife.
Not only is Dr. r. V. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospital in
Buffalo, but nearly a third of a century ago
he discovered certain roots and herbs
which were natures remedies, and sue
ceeded in putting them up in a form that
would be easily prcSured and ready to use.
This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, It maintains the patients nu-
triton by enabling him to eat retain, digest
and asSimilate nutritious food. 1t over
comes gastric irritability and symptoms of
indigestion, and in this way fever, night
sweats, headaches, ETC., are done away with.

consumption, grip and malaria, it builds

US evangelists here from Japan in order

yourselves turn right about and pay
other countrymen of ours to oppose us

Neglect Always Dangerous.-To the
average man it SENS childish to doctor
a cold, and unless it becomes particu-
larly annoying to him, little or no at
tention is given it. Often a cold con-
tracted in the winter is allowed to run
until the opening of spring. This is a
grave mistake, as even though the
warm weather may bring relief, the
System is thereby weakened and rend-
cred susceptible to disease. A cold
should never be neglected whether it
be a child or an adult who is afflicted
as health and often life is risked. A
