HIGH LIVING AND BANKRUPTCY.
There is no telling nowadays
whether men are men of means, or
the money of their creditors. There
seems to wide current of cor
ruption running through the COM
mercial sea, and as it now and then
drags along it's headlong course, one
or another of those who fling them
selves in it's way, bids us to stand
back for moment and contemplate
the wreckage, so that we may draw
a moral or adorn a tale; but all the
morals that are drawn and all the
tales that they adorn do not seem to
narrow the current, and it goes on
widening and increasing in it's de-
structive force as it surges along.
Men who have been in business for
scores of years, and who seem to have
enjoyed the implicit confidence of
those with whom they have made
their credits, as we'll as junior con-
Germs, are dropping pell nell into the
raging current of bankruptcy.
Many of them, after their down
fall, are discovered to have been in
a semi-bankrupt condition for years
prior to the announcement of their
insolvency. Yet most of them, aye,
nearly all of them while in this con-
dition, and with the inevitable col
lapse staring them in the face, have

Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev

habit was placed on the shoulders OF
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting OF druggists here TO
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail OF any preparation con.

upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed PRIMARILY
at paregGric and at stomach remedies
according to members OF the board OF
health who We're instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo
one of the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims OF
drugs formed the habit as a result OF
using prescriptions given by physi
clans and only s per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

II have suffered from the same trou-
bic (painful finger nails) at different
periods OF my life. The first time of

years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, i asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers We're we'll The infamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base OF the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that l had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted in the
loss of the nail / had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again | tried various remedies, among
friend oil mine, who had suffered
from like trouble This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that could not use it.

Ointment. / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's

nails were better, and in a short time
