Just as II matter Of curiosity the cap

evidence of the mans Innocence.
The convict was called In and lndig-

evidence in getting new t'ial.

PERFUMES OF THE EAST.
The Crusaders Brought Them From
The Holy Lnmd to Eurone.

inc AfhHnuerH brought IhCm From
the Holy Land to Europe.
During the dark ages and in early
medieval times perfumes, with the ex-
ccption of incense for ecclesiastical use,
We're almost unknown, and the rude
Saxon thames and Norman barons and
their spouscs were quite content with
the smell of wood fires and huge
masses of roast or seethed meat and
We're not ut all soicitous to enjoy the
pleasure of sweet odors 1t seems To
have been the crusaders who brought
from the Holy Land into western Eu-
rope the perfumes for which the east
has from time lmmemorlal been re-
nowned The original home of per-
fumes WAS either china or Egypt. In
the last named century the priests of
the temple of IIellopolis used to offer
every day TO their divinity three kinds
OF perfumes one in the morning, one
ut noon and the third at night, the last
being II scent composed of sixteen In

One of the greatest American millionaires
once said to his physician, "a million dol
lars Doctor, for a new stomach, and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One of mans greatest pleasures is that
born of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs 10
many good fellow who IL living on small
wages, but the rich man without a stomach
has to forego the good things of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without II
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action Is weak, our liver does not do its
duty, and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man Is prey to the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature az possible.
DR. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan of the Invalds' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago I'M
derstood this disease, and after long pc
Rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up i'll a
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called Dr.. PieTce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because II contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required fol the blood.
instead OF Goa liver oil, against whlCh
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion this tonic has a pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives TO the blood the food elements the
tissues require. II maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimilate nutritious food. 1t
overcomes gastric irritability and symp-
toms OF indigestion, and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches, etc, are done
away with il foTti6es the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and 1t builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh,
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is Just as good" az Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be-
cause he hopes TO make a better profit,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor had the success
that DR. Pierce'B medicines have had.

A physician points out that Several
fallacies are common with regard TO
the weight of the human body. The
man who congratulatcs himself on his
gain of several pounds in weight In n
given period may have no cause for
rejoicing for he may be under delu-
sion. Very few persons, says the In
Vestigntor, have any correct idea of
their own weight. AS matter of
fnct, the weight of the body Is continu
ally changing owing to innumerable
influences. ON warm day, after
breakfast, II man will lose more than n
third Of II pound per hour. Seventy per
cent of the body contains water, and
Its weight vnrlcs constantly. The in
ference to be drawn from the loss or
gain of II pound or two may be mis-
trusted. Fluctuations of few ounces
IRE II sign that the body Is In healthy
