About 'Blood Purifiers and 'sTonics."
Every drop of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed in but one way. and that is,
from wholesome food properly digest
ed. There is no other way and the idea
that a medicine in itself can purity
the blood or supply new tissues and
strong nerves is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia
or indigestion is germ disease, Or
that other fallacy, that a weak stom-
ach which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so by irritating and IN
flaming the bowels by pills and ca
thartics-
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-
ing after meals, because they furnish
the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and, unless the de-

stomach trouble by the OF

Food Value Of Eggs.

Eggs are very nourishing food
and represent two important ele-
ments, fats and proteids, in an easily
assimilated form. A single egg
weighs about one and one-half
ounces, of which one ounce is white.
or pure albumin, and one-half ounce
yolk. The nutritive value of the yolk
is greater than that of the white,
though it's bulk and weight are small
err. It's solid constituents are about
one half of its fat. Fresh eggs, prop
erly prepared, are readily digestible.
The best mode of preparation Is
whipped raw, or cooked for twenty
or thirty minutes at temperature OF
about 1902 (curdled). The yolks are
more easily digested when boiled
hard, and the whites are also easily
digested when hard boiled, providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated
white to minute particles which may
readily be dissolved by the gastric
juice.
A single egg is equal in value to
dozen oysters.

A Substitute for Leather.

An English inventor has devised a
perfect substitute for leather which
can be used for boots, shoes and for
every other purpose for which leather
is employed. The new tissue is called
wolff. 1t is being extensively used
in England, having been adopted by
the London Shoe Company especially
for walking shoes on account Of its
GOODNESS and its lightness. Wolff Is
more durable than leather and is
much more waterproof, while at the
same time more porous, which makes
II nonconductor, and to large de-
gree obviates the necessity for wear.

Japanese use of the word, illustrated

They are telling in Boston of two

who have been in the habit of dining
each Sunday at the residence of one
of the prominent citizens of the Hub.
On a recent Sunday one was absent,
and when the host asked why one of
the guests said solemnly: oh, he

pated!' The host thought it best not
to make any further inquiry at the
time, but after the meal he ventured
to ask the same young man in pri-
vate. You say Mr.. MIN Shi is not

No. he not very well-he very dis

West Pembroke, Me-, April a.
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and 1t is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass on. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites of
her eyes would be yellow.
'The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her After taking one box OF Dodd's
Kidney Pills. she has not had one bad
spell. or course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith. for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy. happy
future for them.

Airs. III. WriQhf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is .
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by =
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
As proof of this theory we call at-
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which 90 degenerated my entire system that I
was unable to attend to my daily duties I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance In my
stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me- I was ad-
vised to give Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that 1t acted like fine tonic, and In q
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and In
five weeks was a well woman 1 have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsements or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

s FOOD VALUE OF FRUIT s
1 Prejudice Against Its Liberal Use Is Result
of Erroneous Notions. q

There are many popular but I'M
use OF fruits. 1t is generally sup
posed, for example. that fruits are
conducive to bowel disorders. and
that they are especially prone to pro-
duce indigestion IL taken at the last
meal. The truth is the very opposite
OF these notions. ~ exclusive diet
OF fruit is one OF the best-known rem
edies for chronic bowel disorders.
During the late war, large numbers
OF the soldiers suffering from chronic
dysentery were in several instances
rapidly cured when abundantly sup
piled with ripe peaches. Fruit juice
may be advantageously used In both
acute and chronic bowel disorders.
Care must be taken, however, to
large amount OF cane sugar. Juices
OF sweet fruits should be employed,
or mixture of sour and sweet fruit
juices. or acid fruit juice may be
sweetened with malt honey or mel
tose, natural sweet produced from
cereals. Raisins, figs, prunes, sweet
apples and pears may be mixed with
sour fruits.
Indigestion sometimes, results from
the use OF fruits In combination with
variety of other food substances;
but fruits taken alone constitute the
best possible menu for the last meal
OF the day. The combination of fruit,

Ing. The use of fresh or stewed fruit
alone without any addition whatever
Will produce no disturbance, and will

acid fruits sometimes disagree with
persons who have an excess of acid
and those who are suffering from |
chronic Inflammation of the stomach; |
but with these exceptions. there is al
most no case in which fruit may not |
be advantageously used.
The notion that acid fruits must be
avoided by rheumatics is another err
ror which is based on inaccurate OBJ
servations. The fact is, rheumatics
are greatly benefited by the use of
fruit. At the same time they should
abstain from the use of flesh foods of
all sorts, beef tea and animal broths,
and all meat preparations, also tea
and coffee, as web az alcohol and to- |
Dacco. 1t is, OF course, possible for
one to take an excess Of acids, as one
nay take an excess OF starch or any
,ther food substances. Vegetable
acids differ from mineral acids in the
act that they do not accumulate in
he body, but are assimilated or util-
zed In the same way as sugar and al
led substances.
