SOME MEDICAL FA11.Ac1ns.

A doctor was pointing out medical fallacies-the wrong ideas about things medical that many people hold.
 "One fallacy," he said, lis that beef tea is nourishing. It is nothing but water in which certain pleasant and exhilarating meat salts are dissolved. You would starve to death on beef tea, the same as on whisky or on coffee.
 Another fallacy Is that alcohol whisky-warms the body. Alcohol lowers the temperature. It chills, in- stead of warming, Hence it is of no use whatever as guard against cold.
 "A third fallacy is that one egg con- tains as much nourishment as a pound of meat. Sick people without appetite think complacently that if they take an egg or two a day they are doing well. As a matter of fact, they are doing anything but well, They must re- member, if they are substituting eggs for meat, that eight eggs, not one, are required to equal one meat pound.
 Then, there's the liver fallacy. Many as soon as their stomach get out of or der, begin to treat their liver. But the liver is a dangerous thing to treat un- less one understands it, for there are over ninety distinct liver troubles, and what is good for one of them may be bad for all the rest,

It will be combination of moving pictures and minstrelsy in a way that will be both pleasing and unique.

The scientific deductions made by the observers there have oft en been the means of warning the peo- pie of impending eruptions and doubt less have resulted in the saving of many lives, At the entrance to the observatory was a tablet erected to tho memory of the tourists who lost their lives in April, 1872, while watching the eruption from the Atrio del Cavallo cra- ter.
 Dispatches from Naples Saturday night mentioned an American engineer named Ferret as being with Observer Matteucci.
 The city of Naples bears an aspect of desolation, everything being covered with ashes from the volcano.
 The lava destroyed a few houses in the suburb of Torre Annunziata and also the cemetery there. Then, fortu- nately, the flow ceased, as it did also at Torre Delgreco. At Pompeii the rivers of lava are less rapid.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and 8 daughter.
 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 won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkhsm took . great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and 1t was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi- pines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was rare combina- ton of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia B. Pink. hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this so far was done freely, with. out money and without price, As 8 labor of love.
 But iu 1873 the financial crisis strucl, Lynn. Its length and severity were toe much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkhsm family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen. nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham'. Vegetable Compound was made knowr to the world.
