Do not allow a crowd to form around the person who has had an ac- cident. He needs air first of all. If the accident was a severe one, send for the doctor immediately, and in the meantime do what you can to make your patient comfortable. Re- member that some injuries that seem slight if not treated promptly by a doctor may have very serious conse- quences. Loosen the collar and belt and any- thing else that is tight, as tight cloth- ing interferes with breathing. 1f there are no injuries that need special attention, get the injured per- son into a safe and comfortable posi- tion. The best position is perfectly flat on the baci: with the head low. If the face is red, put a pillow or coat Thompson in the Public under the head; if it is pale, do not raise the head at all. If he is vomit- ing, turn his head to one side so he will not choke. Unconscious persons (which means that they lie white and still, with closed eyes, hardly breathing) cannot swallow, so do not give them water, as this will choke them. Hold the smelling salts or water of ammonia under the nose so that the fumes may be breathed in. Hurt persons may be given water with perfect safety, but give it slow- ly so that they can swallow between sips. The first aider must use what he can find near at hand and explain clearly to helpers what he wants them to do. When there are several inju- ries care for the most serious first. EAST BRUSH VALLEY.

In the hunt for new sources of leather strange things are turning up. Thus, for instance, it has been as- certained that the skins of frogs and toads can be tanned and turned to ac- count for card-cases and other fancy articles. The Government Fisheries Bureau says that the skin of the codfish fur- nishes an excellent leather, tough as parchment and very durable. The same is true of salmon skin, which the Indians along the Yukon river, in Alaska, have long utilized for cloth- ing. Eel-skins are employed in Europe for binding books, and in Egypt shoe- soles are made from the skins of cer- tain fishes caught in the Red Sea. Sturgeon skin affords a handsome ornamental leather, and the hide of the armored garfish is much valued in Europe being covered with horny plates that can be polished to an ivory-like finish. The skin of the wolf-fish—a fero- cious little creature that often attacks persons who venture in wading along the rocky seashore of New England, biting them severely—is now being used for card-cases and shopping bags. The green leather called “sha- green,” remarkable for its wearing quality and imperviousness to water (on which latter account it is exten- sively employed for instrument cas- es), is made from the hide of the “angel shark” of the Mediterranean. In Tartary dried and oiled fish- skins serve as a substitute for glass in windows, being sufficiently trans- lucent for the purpose. Woman’s Case Startles Bellefonte A business man’s wife could not read or sew without sharp pain in her eyes. For years her eyes were red weak. Finally she tried pure Lavop- tik eye wash. The result of ONE ap- plication astonished her. A small bot- tle Lavoptik is guaranteed to benefit EVERY CASE weak, strained or in- flamed eyes. ONE WASH will startle with its quick results.

Would Bellefonte people recom- mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their ex- periences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. J. C. Johnson, 365 E. Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I was a great sufferer from backache and pains across my loins. I could hardly get about the house. Dizzy spells would come over me and I would nearly fall. 1 got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Green’s Pharmacy Co., and two boxes did me more good than anything else I had previously tried. The backache and pains disappeared and my kidneys be- came normal. I now feel better in every way. THE CURE LASTED. Over six years later Mrs. Johnson said: “Time has proven that Doan’s Kidney Pills are reliable. The cure they made for me has been perma- nent.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Johnson has twice publicly rec- ommended. Foster-Milburn Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Half Sick, Half Well A Condition That Will Not Improve Upon Itself. In the Spring the depressing con- dition that many call Spring fever often runs through families and neighborhoods. This indefinite, hard to describe state of poor health probably means that you are thin-blooded and anemic. Exhausted thin blood gets thinner, low vitality falls lower, poor appetite becomes poorer. Then the thorough- ly exhausted system can no longer re- sist, and on comes the prostrating ill- ness or serious disease. Treat the half-sick, Spring-tired condition with that splendid course of medicine—Hood’s Sarsaparilla, to for- tify the whole body; Peptiron, to iron- ize and make rich red blood; Hood’s Pills to rouse the liver to its regular daily duties—and the half-well re- vives to perfect health. Each medi- cine is valuable in itself but is trebly so when used in this combination. 63-15 sm FINE JOB PRINTING o—A SPECIALTY—0 AT THE WATCHMAN OFFICE.
