Pleasant Ship's COMPANY,

We have received a communication
from a Scottish physician stating that
1t Is proposed to attempt a new de,
parture in the treatment of tubercu,

vessel will leave this country about
the end Of January for long voyage
In warm ATTITUDES and will be prepar,
ed to convey number Of consump'
tives, limited to fifty, of inebriates and
of other invalids." It is intended that
the patients suffering from tuberculo-
sis shall live on deck day and night
whenever the conditions of weather
permit, so that they may have the
advantage of constantly breathing alb
solutely pure air containing much
ozone. During the voyage the vessel

Doing Great Work.

Ward, Ark, March 6th.--(Special.)
From all over the West reports
come OF cures OF different forms OF
Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this place is not without
evidence of the great work the Great
American Kidney Remedy Is doing.
Among the cured here Is Mr.. j. v.
Waggoner, a well known citizen, who,
in an interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done wonders for me- My
kidneys and bladder were badly out
of order. | used many medicines, but
got nothing to cure me till | tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Two boxes OF
them fixed me up so that have been
we'll ever since.
"Tell the poor kidney and bladder
diseased people to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and get we'll"
No case of kidney complaint is too
far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has ever cured Brights Disease.

Cost of tuberculosis.

Dr. Harmon Biggs of New York
(American Medicine) after a careful
estimation. places the annual expense
of tuberculosis to the people of the
United States at $33O,000,00000. He
first calculates the loss TO New York
city by putting value OF 81 500 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives total value of the lives lost
annually of $1,000 100000.
But this is not all For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss of service
at one dollar day, together with food,
nursing, medicines, attendance, etc.
at one and one.half dollars a day. re-
suits in further loss Of $4,000 100000
making yearly loss to the nunici
pality of $4,000 00.G0. For the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
culosis represent in the same way a
loss OF $3.50 ,000,00000
Dr. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure III the Guy VI view ioi N
for the care Of tuberculous patients Is
not at present over $500, 100000 year;
that is, 1t does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death, etc. "lf
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebed 1t would mean a saving of
several thousand lives annually. to say
nothing of the enormous saving in sui
fering." Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number OF
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead OF increasing.
although there has been an increase
OF 20 per cent in the general popula-
ton

The Older Folks.

Gods blessing on the older folks!
Youth Is not all of life,
Nor mid age, though the arms are stronl
To meet the daily strife.
There's living yet for older folks
Fine loving work to do.
Faint hearts to cheer, uncertain feet
To guide in pathways true.
Gods blessing on the older folks,
The veterans who have spent
Their strength on llfe's stern battlefields
And walked the generous length
OF years in splendid loyalty
To that which seemed the right,
Undaunted by fond hopes deferred
Or by the foeman's might.
Gods blessing on the older folks!
Sometimes the tear drops start
When, looking backward, old-time Joys
Come Juggling at the heart.
But age has compensations and
Its own peculiar bliss:
Peace presses on the aged brow
Its softest, tenderest kiss!
Gods blessing on the older folks
Who, looking forward, see
The larger life not far ahead.
Clear of all mystery.
Come, winds OF heaven, while earnes.
souls
Are bowed in solemn prayer,
Search out the older hearts, and drop
Thy benedictions there!

HISTORIC TOWER OF CANTON
10 Eight Stories High and Base Gov
ers Seven Acres,

Canton has been called the city OF
pagodas," since so many are to be seen
Of various sizes, but perhaps the most
remarkable one is that located on the
Island of Honam Its tower alone Is
composed Of eight tiers or stories. and
rests upon foundation which covers
no less than seven acres of the island
Although the exterior walls of the
base are worn and dilapidated by time
and the elements, the tower points
far heavenward, terminating in 3
point, or minaret, which is the admira
ton of the artist, but every feature OF
the tower is artistic, even to the
gracefully curved cornices which mark
each story. Chinese legends have II
that this structure is fully 1000 years
old and engineers who have examined
it are of the same opinion. yet the
tower is composed almost entirely OF
brick and tile and is apparently as
solid to-day as the year it was built

err
People who are very susceptible to
cold, should be rubbed with oil after
each bath. Oil rubbing is especially
needed in cases in which the skin is
dry, through deficient activity of the
oil glands of the skin. Great care,
however, should be taken to avoid too
vigorous rubbing in the application of
the OIL as sweating Is very easily pro-
duced. to the disadvantage of the pa
tient. In the treatment of infants and
children, marked and most favor
able effect upon nutrition Is produced
by oil rubbing. Application OF oil
after cold baths encourages reaction.
In most cases of chronic dyspepsia
when accompanied by emaciation, In
diabetes, and in most cases in which
malnutrition with dryness OF the skin
is a prominent feature, oil rubbing is
a valuable curative agency.

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.

The following illustration of bad ad-
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case. A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called it one of the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience of its
good effects, and advised the class to
test it personally in debility and ex.
haustion. OF class Of thirty-two who
listened to this advice, five became
cocaine takers within two years. Ten
years later thirteen Of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use of cocaine was the
starting point of their additions
Four died from the direct use OF this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice Of the
teacher and were wrecked A few
years after, the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profess
sion, a victim Of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine.

first discovered, lived the natural, orig

Quently described in ancient histories,
before laws, or property, or arts made
entrance among men. The BraZiltans
lived without business or labor, fur
Their than for their necessary food, by
gathering fruits, herbs and plants;
they knew no drink but water; were
not tempted to drink or eat beyond
common thirst or appetite; were not
troubled with either public or domes'
tic cares. and knew no pleasures but
those simple and natural in character.
Many OF these were said. ut the
time the country was discovered by
the Europeans, to have lived as long
as two hundred years
This was without doubt an exagger-
alton, but that they were very long
lived is evidenced by the fact that
within the last quarter Of a century
there was an old woman living in Rio
