To Harness Victoria Falls.

Consul General Washington of Cape
Town thinks that South Africa is on
the eve Of introducing vast changes in
its industrial life. He looks for the
transmission of electrical power that
is to be generated by the mighty rivers
of the interior. The question of the
development and transmission of cleo
trical power from the Victoria Falls,
the consul general says, is to be con-
sidered by committee of experts
Two engineering specialists to the
Victoria company are inspecting water
power installations in European coun-
tries with a view to their application
to Rhodesia. Americas supremacy in
the electrical field should secure the
orders for machinery and supplies
that will be needed to develop this
vast water power.
An electrical engineer from New
York has been visiting Europe in con-
nection with the project of supplying
electrical power to the Rand from the
Victoria Falls. He and the highest
European authorities whom the char
tered company consulted in the matter
were unanimous that the scheme was
not only possible, but was payable.
The experts regarded the climate OF
South Africa as the most suitable in
the world for the transmission OF
power, because, apart from its dry
ness, there Is no ice or snow to inter
fere with the working OF the plant
The distance over which transmission
would have to be made presents. they
declare, absolutely no difficulty.

Habit-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published In some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been Of great interest in arousing needed
attention to this subject 1t has, in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected Of containing the Injurious ingre-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, ''took time by the forelock," as 1t
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines eontain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths OF our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
tionable from its tendency to produce
craving for .stimulants, DR.. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple-refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being q superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
1t enhances the curative action Of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery" in all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings Of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coo, Of New York; Bartholow, Of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila. Scudder, of
Hale, Of Chicago, % and others, who d stand
as leaders In their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that DIR. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his IA
nous Discovery for the cure Of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all
its various forms wherever located

In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness They had
four children, three sons and .

In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained q won

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just rs nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest

all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs

pressly designed to cure the various
