Dangers OF Cocaine.

Cocaine, an alkaloid Of cocoa leaves,
was discovered IN 1859, but remained
In comparative obscurity until 1884. In
minute doses, whether taken internally
or used as spray on mucous surfaces,
its effect Is wonderfully exhilarating
producing for a time the fresh and
buoyant sensations OF youth and per
feet health, that have apparently no
unpleasant reaction, and therein lies
the explanation of the subtle and IL.
resistible power it quickly acquires
over its, Victims carrying them to the
very brink of destruction before they
have dreamed of danger. Being Gu
mulative poison, the first warning
symptom does not appear until the
fatal chains are riveted that shall drag
them, horror stricken and powerless of
resistance, over the precipice to com.
plete mental moral and physical ruin.

The idea is never advanced excepting in
a spirit of kindlinesS and OF the broad
st kind OF sympathy. Her love for
the masses is not simulated: II is the
JOY OF her heart. She has paid the rent
for many widow and orphan, has
helped out so that the little ones may
attend school. and has provided the
mother with employment so that the
home may be kept together.
Mrs. Coxc's home. like her life, is the
paragon OF modCsty; she leads the
simple life" in all its real simplicity.
Her chief aim seems to be To assist the
poor and needy. She has no pet phil
anthropics: there are no endless calls
upon her time from society folk: there
arc no wonderful gowns no costly mil
linery; no splendor of jewels, laces or
sables adorn her person. II is not
after all. the charity which she dis
pCnses that has won for her the love
and admiration of the toilers of the
mines, and that of their wives and lit
tie ones. but II is the purity OF her
character that constantly teaches n
beautiful lesson. not only to the mining
town, but to the world at large which
may study to its own improvement the
generous. unseltsh. sacrificing life OF
this noble woman.
