How TO Fight tuberculosis

In a paper read last year before
the Bexar County Medical Society and
published In part in the Louisville
aMedicaI Progress," DIR. }. w. Car
clan who has devoted much time to
the study Of tuberculosis, saidi
"since lime salts constitute three
fourths Of all the mineral substance
OF the human body, they must he
supplied In the foods or supplemented
starvation ensues with tuberculosis
unchecked. The widespread and un-
checked spread Of tuberculosis and
other preventable diseases is due
largely to the decaIcihed Uime lack
ing) conditions Of multitudes through.
out the civilised world.'
Thus from another authoritative
medical sonrce comes justification for
the use of lime in the treatment Of
tuberculosis.
Since this is one Of the ingredients
of Eckman's Alternative, much Of the
success attending the widespread use
of this remedy doubtless Is due to
the combination of this salt in such
a way as to render It easily assimil-
able. 1t causes no stomach disturb
ance. and since 1t contains neither
opiates. narcotics nor habit-forming
drugs, 1t Is safe to try.
Eckman's Alternative has effected
remarkable results in numerous cases
Of pulmonary tuberculosis (consump-
tion) and allied chronic affections of
the throat and bronchial passages. In
many instances such conditions, ap-
parently. have yielded completely to It.

To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic over
the beautifying qualities of mercolized
wax. Perhaps nothing discovered with
in recent years accomplishes SO much,
80 quickly, without harm, without de-
tanning one indoors. and at such small
expense. The principal reason for its
wonderful merit is that it works in
harmony with physiological laws. In
stead of hiding or. curing" complexion
defects, 1t removes them.r The wax
actually takes off the aged, faded, SAL
low or blotchy cuticle, gently, gradu-
ally. causing no inconvenience. 1t is
Natures way of renewing compilations.
When the natural process Is retarded
because Of deficient circulation or nerve
tone. mercolized wax comes to the res
cue and hastens the skin shedding. The
new complexion which appears is a
natural one, youthful, healthy, ex-
quisitely beautiful. If you've never
tried mercolzed wax, get an ounce OF
1t at the drug store, use at night like
cold cream, washing 1t of in the morn
ing.
Another natural beautffying treat
ment-for wrinkled, f1abby skin-is to
bathe the face IN a lotion made by dis
solving an ounce OF saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel. This is remarkably ef-
fective.-Advt.

INTERESTING LETTER

The editor is in receipt of letter
from Silas Moody of Forest Hill, who
left for California two weeks ago to
spend the summer, and in addition to
the following description of part of
his trip, the genial farmer traveller
has promised TO write US many letters
describing his trip and telling Of inter
esting things which occur during his
stay i'm the Pacific Coast state. The
following extract from his first letter
is made.
"We passed into Nevada riding
down along the Humbolt River until
we reached a large plain where the
water sinks into the sand and is lost
to view. Often we looked out and
thought we could see snow, but upon
clossr inspection we saw it was only
Alkali. Often we saw water the color
of lye which would kill stock if they
should drink it. In places the railroad
company draws water for these sta
tions to use but many have artesian
wells. About noon we arrived in Reno,
the capital of Nevada, a fine city.
Along the tracks large piles of wood
were piled. The snow increased in
depth. There were ice houses already
nlled.
1--WE soon commenced to climb the
Sierra Nevada mountains by means
of two powerful engines and in short
time reached the forty-mile snow
sheds which have been built so that
they double back around the canyons.
With our eleven coaches winding and
twisting like a giant snake we reach
ed the summit where one of the en-
gines was discarded. But for those
snow sheds this range Of mountains
could not be crossed owing to the great
amount of snow that falls. The snow
soon left US and we came into q valley
with trees, gardens and flowers in full
Bloom, iE wonderful contrast to what
we had just passed through.
"k@cnC towards evening we came to
Sacremento, where we Stayed all night
at the western hotel, our supper,
breakfast and lodging amounting e
only one dollar. In my next letter y
l&gill tell you of our trip up the Sacre-
mento valley and Of the million dollar
wheat ranch"
