Prof. Mostig, who was drowned a

country as the discoverer Of the use
of iodoform in medicine. He was
without doubt one of the greatest sur

parents. he practically educated him

poverty in his early days made him

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties It was usually the
duty Of practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
nund Of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
splendid medical training in one Of the
best medical colleges Of that day was &C
customed to ride ten, twenty, thirty miles
or more visiting the sick and afflicted.
His success was soon phenomenal. Doc
tors and families called him for consulta-
ton to towns at considerable distances
by rail. His speciality was the cure of
those common and distressing diseases
Of women. He had early discovered that
by combining the extracts Of the follow
Ing medicinal plants, in just the right
proportion, without the use Of alcohol his
Prescription almost invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in shape easily
to be procured, he established a labO-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, where regu-
larly qualified chemists were put in
charge to accurately prepare his UPre-
scription and put it in shape for ship
ment to all parts Of the world. This
remedy, which he named DR.. Pierce S

SUGAR MAKING.
The Hfndoos Probably Learned the

The Hfndoos Probably Learned the
Art From the Chinese.
The Chinese, who invented almost
everything before anybody else heard
of it. claim to be the original discover
ers of the process of sugar making,
and it is said that sugar was used in
China as long ago as 1900 years. This
is misty, but the fact Is well establish
ed that 1t was manufactured in China
under the Tsin dynasty 200 years at
least before the Christian era began.
India has put forward a claim for
priority of invention, but the probable
ity is that the Hindoos learned the art
of sugar making from the Chinese and
that through them the knowledge final
archus, when sent by Alexander on an
exploring voyage on the Indus, brought
back reports of "honey" which was
made by the Asiatics from cane with
out the help of bees.
At this time neither the Greeks nor
the Jews nor the BabyIonans had any
knowledge of sugar. but later the art
of making the artificial honey be-
came known and practiced. though its
progress and development were ex-
ceedingly slow. 1t was prescribed as
a medicine by Galen in A. D. $50, and
up to the seventeenth century it had
become nothing more than a costly
luxury. to be used only on special occa-
sions. Even as late as the beginning
of the eighteenth century the annual
consumption of sugar in Great Britain
had reached only 100000 pounds.
whereas it is now more than 100000
600 pounds.
Refined sugar was not made in Eng
land till 1863. The art of refining was
learned by a Venetian merchant from
the Saracens, who sold the secret to
him for 100000 crowns.

The Story of q Medicine.

Its name-rGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients = Golden

Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use OF pure,
triple-refned glycerins, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed wGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol in its makeup.
A glance at the full list Of its ingredi-
ents, printed ON every bottle wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on MdtegtG
Medicd who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
vGoden Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book Of these endorsements has
been compiled by Dr. H. " flerce, OF
Buffalo. N. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
emit schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the rGold-
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on-c coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
In consumption. Take DIR. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
until you give it fair trial and it is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it. 1t will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
in It's advanced stages. No medicine will.

OLD VIOLINS.
The Best Method of Finding Ou
Their True VaIue

The Best Method of Finding Out
Their True Value.
Very often somebody thinks that he
or she has small fortune locked UP
in a fiddle case. The somebody does
not know much about violins, but has
heard or read that an old violin is a
very valuable thing, and because
grandfather happened to leave a VIC
lin, to assume duties upon the harp,
somebody Immediately believes that
grandfathers violin is a treasure. AS
a matter of fact, ninety-nine times
out of a hundred grandpa invested in
a ten dollar fiddle and played "Suwa-
nee River" and Annie Laurie" When
he bought it the violin was worth $40,
but since then it has been depreciat-
ing in value at the rate of about 10
cents year. From the mere fact
that most of the varnish is scratched
off and there are several cracks in the
instrument it does not follow that it is
an ''old one"
If violin is good to start with II
will improve with age and good care,
but, on the other hand a poor fiddle
is not benefited to any extent if it sur
wives century or two.
Don't judge violin by the label
inside of it. Anybody can copy an old
name and date and paste it in. If all
the violins bearing Stradivarius la
bel We're his, poor old Antonius would
be working yet. More than half of the
cheap, worthless violins bear copies of
his or some other masters label, and
even some real old and good instru-
ments have been passed off as the
work of Amati, Guarneri, Magini and
other famous makers.
Any one having a violin with the la
bel of a comparatively unknown maker
is likely to be the owner of a more val.
liable instrument than the person
whose fiddle is marked "Antonius
Stradvarius."
There is only one way to find Out
whether or not a violin is living up tc
its name, and that is to get the judg
ment of a good dealer If he tells you
that your violin is no good, but still
offers to buy it, you may be quite GER
tain that you have good fiddle. But
don't sell it. Take it to some Other
authority and see what he says. but
don't make a bargain. You will heal
from him If your violin is genuine, fol
the supply of valuable ones is small
/ and great rivalry exists among dealers
to secure masterpieces.

He is neither nondeyeloped nor Made

The Sable

Early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded it as
effeminate to ride in a saddle. The
modern saddle. with pommel, crupper
and stirrups, was unknown to the an
clients. Nero gave out fancy coverins
to his cavalry. and the bareback riders
of the German forests used to laugh at
them Saddles with trees came into
use in the fourth century, stlrrups
three centuries later.
