Oddities of ZOOLOGY,

Zoology has it's Oddities" said
John Lover, the Zoo keeper, land
hat is why I study it at night, after
my regular work is done.
There are certain animals whose
circulation reverses its direction Eat
short intervals. The blood flows one
way in them for a while, then it turns
and flows the other way.
There are insects that have their
Ears on their legs. Others have their
ears on their tails. AS for the eyes,
well, they may be found on the back,
IN the shell, on the limbs, practically
everywhere.
There are animals that lay two
and three different kind Of eggs. and
there are eggs thai each produce
rom two to eight young.
There are Siamese twin animals,
with two bodies perfectly united
There are males that live in the gul
let's of females. There are animals
that commit suicide rather than BIZ
slain.
Altogether zoology is odd and in
teresting. l would rather study it a
night than 60 to the play."-Philadel

An eminent physician say that
"Women are not truthful: they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, ven by her family physician.
This is especially the eas& with IN
married ome
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on
This is the eas why thousands and
thousands of women r now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they al and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any formo OF trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham,, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol
lowing are, constantly pouring in.

VEGETABLE JUICE
CURE FOR
CONSUMPTION.

~A(1N - ~ AVA i x0ANs
The newspapers announce
that all the prominent physi-
clans Of New York have re-
ceived a circular from the
New York Post Graduate
Hospital giving an account
Of the wonderful cures of con-
sumption through the use Of
the juice Of raw vegetables
and fruits. 1t seems that the
treatment began by the use
of potatoes, onions, beets,
turnips, cabbages and celery.
Later there were added sweet
potatoes, apples, pineapples,
carrots and parsnips, and still
later rhubarb, summer squash,
tomatoes, spinach, radishes,
string beans and green peas
IN the pod.
It would seem to be absurd
on its face that such treat
ment could be used to eHectu-
4 ally combat consumption, yet
SO high an authority as DR..
Russell Of the above-named
hospital, who seems to have
made the discovery and de-
veloped the treatment, states
that eleven cases Of well-de-
veloped pulmonary tubercu-
losis have been absolutely
cured while fifty others are
under treatment and progress
ing satisfactorily.
# is to be hoped that the
long looked for cure Of this
dread disease has at last been
found in this treatment, but
the medical profession will,
doubtless, be sceptical, as they
are and should be on all new
treatments until more than
eleven cases have been cured
BY a combination Of simple
vegetable juices that contain
little, if any, Of the nourish-
ment required BY the con-
sumptive. AS Dr.. Russell
says he has been the principle
advocate Of nutrition as op-
posed to medicine in the
treatment Of tuberculosis, he
seems to contravert his own
theory in the, use Of these
vegetable juices that possess
such 4 small percentage Of
nutrition.
Hygiene and nutrition Of
the best sort are absolute re-
quisites in the treatment Of
consumption. II the laws Of
health are carefully observed
and the body is sustained
with nutritious, wholesome,
easily digested. food. the raw
ages Of the disease may be
arre.ted. even when the lung
tissue is involved. There IS
little question that the best
nutritionsin the world in such
cases IS the old and much
abused cod liver oil; not in
its raw state but in the form
best adapted for its immediate
absorption into the body, as
found in SCOTS Emulsion Of
pure Norwegian cod liver oil
which contains. in addition,
the valuable hypophosphites
Of lime and soda and glycer-
inc. We hesitate to say that
It will cure consumption, but
after thirty years experience
with it, the medical profession
knows that it will arrest the
progress Of the disease and in
its earlier stages generally eff |
feet a permanent cure. So
certain are we of this that
we challenge a comparative
clinical test in any hospital or
sanitarium where there are pa
tients afflicted with this mall
ady. If it will not cure more
eases of consumption, if the
same rules are observed, than
the vegetable and fruit juice
treatment we will agree to
the institution making
the test with SCOTS Emulsion
free for a year. There is no
doubt that SCOTS Emulsion
IS the most concentrated form
