IF YOU s'To KNOW
WHAT AIS YOU
the U. S. mail will bring yoA the best medical
advice for only the cost of writing
materials and stamps.

Many people owe their present good
health TO the fact that they consulted Dr.
Pierce by letter, giving him all possible in
formation about their condition, symptoms,
etc, and received in return good medical
advice U2Iich cost them nothing Write to
DIR. r. Y. Pierce, founder OF the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
DR.. Pierce by no means confines himself
to prescribing his well-known medicines.
He tells you in the most common sense
way what ails you, what you ought to do,
what line of treatment should be followed
out in your particular case, and if your case
does not indicate the need for this proprie-
tary medicine, he tells you plainly and
frankly z0hat .1,oH do need, and the best
possible method of improving your health.
DR.. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a
distance, through the mail and all You have
to do is to write him your symptoms.
Mrs. John Burge, of Mofr, West Va, writes
"When I began taking your medicine / was
suffering from female weakness which had run
on for five years. Took three bottles of Favor
lite Prescription three of Golden Medical Dis
covcry' and two walls of DR.. Pierce's Pellets
and have been entirely cured. Before began
taking your medicine it seemed to me would
never another we'll day but since then have
enjoyed the best of health and happiness /
also took one bottle of Favorite Prescription
before confinement and got along the best I
ever did at such time, and our baby is the most
healthy one of them all. i think your medi-
cines are the best in the world.D

Take care of the stomach and the health
will take care of itself. If people only reall-
zed the soundness of that statement the ma
jority might live to good old age like
Moses, sthe eye undimmed, the natural force
unabated." 1t is in the stomach that the
blood is made. 1t is from the stomach that
nourishment is dispensed to nerve and
muscle If the stomach is weak" it can't
do its whole work for each part of the BODY.
If it is diseased the disease will taint the
nourishment which is distributed, and so
spread disease throughout the body. 1t was
the realization of the Importance OF the
stomach as the verycenter of health and the
common source of disease, which led DR..
Pierce to prepare his "Golden Medical Dis
covery.' Diseases which originate in the
stomach must be cured through the stom-
ach.r The soundness of this theory is prov
ed every day by cures of diseased organs,
heart, liver lungs, blood,-by the use of the

The Cabbage Snake Scarce.

The sensational stories with regard
to the so called Cabbage Snake" and
the scare which seems to have preyad.
ed all this section of the State have
caused many enquiries to be sent in to
the Virginia Experiment Station, to
gether with many specimens OF worms
with the request for information. 1t
has, therefore, seemed timely to give
through the papers of the State greater
publicity to the truth, to set public
minds at ease and to prevent the
growing prejudice to cabbage, which
threathens the loss of an important
crop.
OF the various specimens of worms
which bave been sent into US. one or
two were young earth worms, but the
greater number seemed TO be species
of Nematode worm, belonging to the
family Mermithidae, and known as
Mermi. albicans. These are genuine
worms and not snakes at all, and
though allied to the Trichina, Filaria,
and other worms parasitic on man,
are either found in vegetable matter
or in the bodies of insects, from whence
they escape into the damp earth where
they attain sexvat maturity. The fami
ly is also closely allied to the Anguill-
ulide OF Horse hair'' Worm, often
erroneo usly called Horse hair
Snakes" These Nematode Worms are
free living in earth or water, though
some specimens are parasitic in plants;
others live in fermenting matter. Of
this latter group is the Anguillula
aceti, known as the Vinegar Worm.
some species live in Mildewed wheat
grains, some in heads of tnistles, on
roots of moss and grass; others are con
slant inhabitants of the Beet-rOOt, also
of Cabbage, Barley. Wheat. sc. 1t
seems almost needless to say that none
possess any poisonous qualities what
ever. Since the recent scare, chemI-
;al analysis carefully conducted, has
failed to reveal any toxic qualities.
Cabbage cooked in certain ways is apt
to produce acute indigestion in some;
Or it is possible that in some cases Paris

and carelessly sprinkled on
the young capbages to kill the cater
pillars of the Cabbage Butterfly. These
both contain arsenic, and if any trace
illness or even death would
ensue from eating such cabbage. Some

the dish of cabbage which produced
the evil effects, has enormously jump
ed at conclusions and imagined a new
thing, not knowing that the worm mot
snake) has long been known to natur-
alists, and is harmless, and SO the tale
has grown and magnified, and profit

thrown out of the market in some sec.

has no real foundation in fact whatever.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. ''Eat plenty of
pork" " was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
IeLIled OF IatS, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
