Another great discovery has been
made by an agricultural scientist
named Dunbar. It is called the
"sneeze germany thing which ir-
ritates the olfactory nerve, and makes
the victim sneeze his head off. |"
Capsicum or red pepper is an excellent
example of this germ; so is snuff, and
many other things which may be
named. Also certain pollen grains in
flowers will produce sneezing if they
reach the schnideriau membrane germ
in the interests of science. 1t is called
the ''toxaalDuminis," or poison albu-
men. 1t is the same as the. shay fever
germ" To escape this dreadful germ
plug the nose during the autumn
months with cotton which has been
sprayed with a weak solution of CO.

worn over the end of the nose.

Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan enjoys the

Democratic ticket and platform with

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. Y, DIR. Pierce, chief con-
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 DIR. r. V. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospital in
Buffalo, but nearly 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 procured and ready to use
This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t 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.
II fortihes the body against the germs of
consumption, grip and malaria, it builds
up the tissues and puts on healthy flesh.
Those desiring to know something about
the body in health and disease, also medi-
cine and surgery, without technicalities,
should read the "Common Sense Medical
Adviser, which can be had for Al cents in
one-cent stamps for the cloth bound book.
