AN APPETITE.
Druggist Wm. H. Hull Explains How VinOI Creates Desire for Food.

s.The reason Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known" '" said MT Hull, lis because it contains all of the active, tonic elements that are found in cod liver oil, without any of the system -clogglng oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work.
 fThese curative clements, in nat ural manner, strengthen and tone up the weakened nerves of the digestive organs, and when the stomach acts cas- ily and naturally a desire is created for food. The nourishment thus obtained is changed into rich, red blood and every organ in the body is inyigorated and strengthened to do it's work as na- ture intended and a good, hearty appe- tite is the sure result.
 With cod liver oil in it's old form the medicinal elements were enveloped in the obnoxious oil, so that few could take it but in Vinol we have the same me dieinaI clements, separated from the vile-tasting oil, thus producing the greatest tonic strength-creator and body-builder which we have ever sold fin our store.
 Lack of appetite is not in itself a disease, but a symptom of weakness showing itself in the nerves of the stomach. which control the desire fol food. We guarantee Vinol will correct this weakness, or give back your mon- sy." HulPs Corner Drug Store.

poisonous. The natives grind the seed to a fine power, mix 1t to pulp with water, and mould it into sharp pencil like points. These are mounted on the end of a stick, and used to prick the animal, which usually dies within a night Human beings have been known to to have been poisoned in this way. A preparation of these seeds is also used in severe and obstinate cases of granulated eyelids, but the treatment is heroic and is resorted to only as a last means.
 The seed of the castor-oil plant, now quite a familiar decoration of even northern gardens, contains ricin a poison very similar to absin. Ten of these seeds are ordinary fatal to man, Three have beef known to kill, while recovery has occurred after IT were eaten.
 Human beings are frequently pois- oned in India to the extent of render ing them intoxiated or stupid, to fla cilitate robbery. For this purpose stramonium or dtura, here the common W6eu Ol LllG dSll-HGdl) 6tllu WoSlG pll6' is commonly employed. In India a pestle is frequently employed in the preparation of food One with a hol- low handle is used, if the guest is to be robbed. With the hollow filled with stramonium seeds, it Is an easy mat ter to mingle some of them with the food and gring both together, under the very eyes of the victim To rob the guest while in the house would be a breach of Oriental hospitality, but by the time he takes his departure he is in a condition favorable for being fol- lowed and despoied of his property. Belladonna is sometimes used for a like purpose. It may seem a curious coincidence that in the days of a 'wide-open' city, certain keepers of notorious resorts were known to boast that no one was ever robbed in their places, but of course, they could not be expected to guarantee that guests would not be followed and robbed out side
 Jealous women in India poison their rivals with the root of the cleander, a favorite, half-hardy ornament of northern gardens and conservatories. In the same land powered aconite root is used to poison arrows. A paste made from this powder is aplied to the entire head and part of the sL1att so

symmetry. Tn other cases poison is used in very small amount, The woo- rara, used by the Orinoco Indians for tipping the tiny arrows of their blow guns is a noted example, The actioon of this poison is most intense, the mus eles, especially those of breathing, be- ing promptly paralyzed, Monkeys drop dead almost the instant they are wounded with a weapon smeared with it. If an, antidote is quickly applied, they recover and are thus captured alive. Common salt is said to be one such antidote.
 Ordeal poisoning, practiced chiefly in Africa is probably not yet entirely done away with there. Its obpect was either to determine the guilt or inno- cence of a suspected person, or to purify the tribe of sorcerers or witches. supposed to be responsible for drought, earthquakes, pestilence or other eala- mity. In this later case every one in the village, even to nursing babes. was obliged to take the poison. Refusal was punished by death at the stake. Generally the natives court rather tahn shun the ordeal ones prestige and re- pute being proportional to the number of times he has survived the test.
 The poison employed is the sasy bush or the calabar Foean, both members of the bean family, The vegetable Is powdered and mixed with pulverized gIas and powdered portions of previous victims of the poison. The person talk ing tie delectabl compound drinks freely fwater afterward. If it acts as an emetic, and his death is thus avert ed, he is judged innocent. Otherwise he dies within three of four hours, when his body is given to the beasts and his property confscated.-G. G. Copp in New York Evening Post.

USE OF POISON.
How to Fish With It-Not Resorted

How to Fish With It-Not Resorted
 to Here but Used to Kill in India.
 Catching fish with poison is so com- mon, among the Indians at least, that the fruit of the coculus indicus, the substance oftenest used, is best known as fish-berry. Its poisonous constitu- ent is picrotorin, which acts in many ways like strychnine, but does not af- feet the wholesomene,ss of the fish for food. In tropical America many veg etable substances, containing sapronin and tannin are used for the same pur- pose. The sapronin acts somewhat like strychnine, while the tannin is said to act by combining with the free oxygen in the water compelling the fishes to come to the surface for oxygen. In all these cases, the fish are merely intoxi- cated, and caused to founder helplessly to the surface where they are easily caught. Humanity, as a whole, has come to look upon poison as a too cowardly and ignoble weapn for any class to employ, so convicted criminals can now eat their meals with safety and ones enemies feel equally secure at table. Tn India, however poison IS still an approved weapon of revenge, and the cattle of the enemy the most common victims.
 For such work a seed, resembling a small pea, scarlet, with a black eye ss usually employed. Locally, 1t is called love-pea or jequirity. Properly 1t is known as abrus. The seed is very .>uofsonous. if eaten and much more So If it gets into the blood through a wound.

EATEN OUT or
 HOUSE AND HOME.
How a Confirmed Dyspcptic Developed an Appetite Like COrR-husker's and Cleaned Out Everything
 A in Sight,

ln SlRnts
 The wife of leading druggist of Des Moines tells how her brother was changed from a dyspeptic without ap- petite to a prodigious eater.
 My brother, who is a lawyer in Chi cago, came to visit me, and 1 hardly knew him on his arrival, he was so thin and run down. l had not seen him for years and was much alarmed at his ap- pearance, He told me not to worry, as he had been in this condition for years as a result of chronic dyspepsia. l ask ed him what he had done for it, and he said he had done everything taken every remedy he had ever heard of and consulted doctors without number; none of them helped him. 1 asked him if he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and he said he hadn't, and, what was more, he wouldn't. He had sworn off taking medicine of any kind.
 T had my husband bring home box 1 from the store and 1 actually made him take one or two of the tablets after he had eaten. They made him feel so much better that he offered no further objec- tion. He had not taken the one box be- fore he was greatly improved and three or four boxes cured him of dyspepsia and gave him wonderful appetite. He came near eating us out of house and home. My, but it did me good to see him eat. He gained fifteen pounds be- | fore he returned home, and he writes me that he has not been troubled with dyspepsia since."
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them They relieve weak and overburdened stom- achs of their work of digestive action Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach, and they simply take up the grind and carry or
 the work just the same as a good
 strong, healthy stomach would do it. 1 On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets are perfectly natural in theil
 action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance 1T
 the stomach or. bowels. They them
 selves digest the food and supply tn, system with all the nourishment con tained in what is eaten and carry ou

 maintenance of the body.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thu
 relieving the stomach of it's work, ena
 ble it to recuperate and regain its nor
 nal health and strength. Nature re Ipairs the worn and wasted tissues, jus
 as she heals and knits the bone of ;
 broken limb, which is, of course, no
 used during the process of repair.
