So powerful is human instinct, that some of its suggestions become em bodied in social and house-hold cus toms. The people know and feel that at the beginning of the spring season the system needs an alterative and a purifiying tonic and stimulant. In all parts of the country it is the custom for the housewife to dose her brood with sassafras tea. Among the simple remedies that our ancestors employed, this decoction has continued to hold its own. The demand for a spring alterative and tonic, however, is filled more efficaciously by S. S. S., which is itself as simple as nature's remedial medicine should be. It purifies the human machine to stand the wear and tear of the summer months.

PIZZAEO'S REMAINS REMOVED- IS A REMARK AlilX STATU OF TRESER TATION A ITER I1E1NO HL'RIKD $$0 YEARS. Lima. Peru, Aug 10 Elaborate ac counts have been made public of the removal of the remains rf l rancisco Pizzaro, who led the conquest of Peru, from a vault tinder the altar of the cathedral at Lima to the c hapel of the viceroys in the same building. The remains were subjected to a careful examination and the body was found to be admirably preserved although it is 350 years since Pizzaro died. The two hands and all the toes with the ex ception of two are missing; but this is evidently due to peculations by visit ors to the cathedral, which were facil itated by the body having been kept in an open coffin. All the signs of wounds received by Pizzaro during his lifetime are distinctly visible. The body is one metre and seventy-five centimeters in length. The doctors in charge of the body are of the opin ion that at the time of his death Piz zaro was at least seventy years of age. The Noccion of Lima, commenting upon the state in which the remains were discovered, after referring to the fact of their having been found in an open coffin, says it is well known that Pizzaro was buried in complete armor and wonders how the authorities can consent to receive the remains in their present condition. The Diario, of Lima, explaining the absence of the armor, says, that it was taken out of the coffin and put on ex hibition in the museum formerly exist ing in the headquarters of the artilery of Santa Catalia and was stolen by the Chilians when they entered Lima. On the other hand, Ricardo Pal ma, in the GWumodeclares that Pizzaro was buried without his armor, his as sassins not giving him time to put it on. Palma adds that the remains were given sepulchre in great haste, in order to prevent the body being dragged through the streets. The ceremony of transferring the remains to the chapel of the viceroys was very im pressive. The big cathedral was filled with visitors, and speeches were made by Senor Manuel A. l'uentcs, Mayor Revoredo, the Spanish minister, and Monsignor Tovar.
