MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the &c., rious Consequences of Neg IeCt.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor," remarked sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent" replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- tion by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times a week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping tine bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickiy Ash Bitters Is the best sll-around past ten years have always kept it in my house. Whenever any of my family show signs of mala- ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation . few doses is all that is needed to make hem well and hearty again.-w, II. McWIU asas Pickering, La.

The Jurys task was a severe oac. the tests of each beer extending over . con- siderable time Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. along with all the others. was for weeks alternately subjected to extreme degrees of heat and cold. Of all the beers SO tested Pabst "Blue Ribbon beer was the only one found upon examination 10 retain all the properties originally contained In the brew. It was finally determined that the Blue Ribbon" beer took first place among all the other varieties submitted by American and European breweries. Consequently the highest possible honors of the exposition were awarded.
 The fact that the American beer took first place was all the more remarkable from the fact that 1t was necessarily transported a great distance. a factor that might ordinarily have been . decided handicap as against other beers sent to Antwerp. The time that the beer was in transit from the brewery In Milwaukee was something like four weeks. and tt is a generally accepted theory that beer ioses through transportation. The Pabst beer apparently was unaffected. Its durability and pureness were found upon examina- ton to be without fault.
 The exposition at Antwerp this year was held during the months of June. July and August. the months in which the tourist travel is largest. It was opened by King Leopold, under whose protectorate tt was held. the various monarchies and the French republic appointing delegates to represent them in the interna tional show. The exhibits wore placed in the great building erected several years ago at Ant werp and designed especially for large en- positions of the nature of the pure food show.

Others on the fury were men of undoubted ability in their line. The fact that the host of exhibitors In the department of brewing unanimously approved of the membership of the jury bespeaks their ability.
 II Is probable that the awards now ia the care of the Pabst Brewing company will be placed on exhibition at an early date, 1t being the desire of the officials to permit the public at large to examine the medals and diploma signifying the par ex- cellence of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

 Exposition at Antwerp.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Oct. 5.-Valued above the other hundreds of awards voted to the Pabst brewing company by na- tional and International expositions held at various times in the past few decades a collection of awards which was received by Col. Gustave Pabst from Antwerp will occupy higher place in the esteem of the company than all the other medals in the Pabst collection.
 The awards were brought to Milwaukee by special emissary from the Interna tional Hygienic and Pure Food exposition at Antwerp, Belgium. and include the cross of honor of Belgium. known as the grand prize of the exposition, a gold medal and a diploma elaborately studded with seals of noted Europeans. and setting forth that Pabst Blue Ribbon" the beer of quality. received the highest award for purity and excellence at the great expo. sition held in Antwerp. The awards were made only after the severest tests known to enlightened science. and demon strate. under the signatures and seals of the jury and commissioners. that the product of the Pabst Brewing company stood alone among hundreds of other beers submitted at Antwerp for the ex- haustive tests of experts
