ISN'T IT STRANGE?

Did it ever occur to you that the rea-
son medical doctors have so little success
in curing tuberculosis, is because they
really do not practice medicine?
Toasay that specific exists for the
cures of Consumption is perhaps too
strong a statement. but In Eckman's
Alternative. we have a medicine that has
been the means of saving many life to
wears of usefulness and in permanently
curing large number of 'consumptives.
Telling every sufferer to gorge himself
with eggs and milk is apparently the
limit of modern treatment. Certainly
person afflicted with a wasting disease
should be well fed with wholesome
nourishng food; but frequently raw eggs

down and then no food nourishes AS

A CENTENARIAN.
kinsman of Gen. Israel Putnam is Well
at One Hundred and Three.

New Salem, Mass, Nov. 11-samuel
Putnam, kinsman of Gen. Israel Putnam
and so far as is known the only man ever
elected to the Massachusetts legislature
who lived to become a centenarian, cele-
brated his 1O3d birthday Tuesday.
Mr.. Putnam is in good health, consid-
ering his years. and takes short walks
'tous Importance which his elders at
tached to the battle of Waterloo. He re-
members also the departure of the SOL
derS from his town to defend Boston
from possible attack by the British in
the war of 1872. He cast his first presi-
Dental vote for John Quincy Adams.
When Zeppelin III made the fight
from Dusseldorf to Essen last month
it was observed that horses and cattle
ran wildly about the meadows as 1t
approached, and sheep crowded with
loud bleating around their shepherd.
From these facts Count Zeppelin con-
cludes that the employment of air
ships of whatever type will have
disastrous effect on furred and fea--
thered game. All animals show fear
at their approach; cartridges quail and
other game birds cover and hide them
selves, and domestic cocks utter warm
ing crows as if they perceived some gl-
gantic bird of prey. Van Hofken, the
Swedish aeronaut, when at moder-,
ate height watched elk, foxes. mares
and other animals take to flight, ana.
dogs rushed bowling into the house.
