the medicine he prescribes is
not the medicine which your

thing the druggist thought
would do just as well ! Who
is going to regulate the bal

will offer you something else
when you ask for Scott's
Emulsion will do the same
thing with his prescriptions.
Get what you ask for!

Last Friday evening an excellent con

Raedom Remarks on
Health aed Hygiene
Discussing the hcalthfulness of cy
cling the Lancet sensibly says: "Cy
cling Is not good for everybody, and If
nbused Is good for nobody. Within the
last two years people of all ages have
rushed into cycling In the most hap
hazard way. They have regarded
neither ngo nor previous hnblts, nor
their physical condition. Small wonder
then that many have found evil rather
than good come from an exercise which
Inevitably demands a heavy expendi
ture both of nervous nnd muscular
force. Probably just tho same outcry
would have arisen if the same class
had suddenly taken to running or row
ing, or mountain climbing, without any
previous preparation. It is easy to
preach modemtoin, but it must be re
membered, that moderation is a term
varying with the Individual, and every
one finds for himself how much he can
do. With regard to the strain Involved
In keeping up a bicycle and keeping a
lookout, It is probably no more than
that Involved in walking down the
street without 'cannoning' against oth
ers, but many of us have done the one
from childhood, while the other is but
a newly acquired accomplishment.
There is no need to make a bicycle a
very wheel of Ixlon, especially with a
'safety,' for It Is easy to get off and
equally easy to remount; therefore the
cry ou must go on or you will fall,
seems to us to Ignore the fact that wo
are reasoning animals."
o
A person subsisting upon a lean-meat
diet, while he may manifest a greater
amount of strength than upon a more
natural dietary, and may be uncon
scious of any abnormal condition, is
like a person in a powder magazine
he Is in constant danger of vital cat
astrophe. The poison-destroying func
tions of his liver, nnd the polson-ellml-nating
capacity of his kidneys, aro
taxed to their utmost to keep the pro
portion of ptomaln and leucomalns In
the tissues down to a point which per
mits of tho performance ot the vital
functions. The margin of s-afety.which
nature has wisely made very large In
order to provide for emergencies, is re
duced to tlic narrowest possible limit,
so that anything which temporarily in
terferes with the functions of the liver
or the kidneys, or which Imposes addi
tional work upon them, may bo sum
clent. to obliterate tho safety margin,
and produce an attack of grave dis
ease. Pub. Health Journal.
o
Overfeeding Is the most frequent
cause of all gastric troubles. Tho stom
ach of an Infant Is very small and
should bo nursed at two hour intervals
and In small amounts. Too early
weaning and tho substitution of solid
for liquid food often causes Indigestion,
The pancreas does not secrete Its spe
cial ferment until the fourth month,
the salivary glands begin to furnish
diatnso about tho ninth month, and
their full power Is attained only at the
eleventh month. Starchy substances,
therefore, cannot bo digested at all be
fore the fourth month, and nitrogenous
matter before the tenth month. Vom
iting is the characteristic symptom ot
Infantile dyspepsia, but should be care
fully distinguished from a mere regur
gitation, which latter occurs Imme
diately after nursing, the former about
nn hour later consisting of acid smell
ing clots.
o
Some women spoil their teeth by
their neglect to have them attended to
directly the least speck of decay is ap
parent, and thus ono tooth after an
other becomes affected, for the disease
Is very Infectious and soon spreads,
The neglect In the majority of cases
arises from the dread of going to a den
alst, but provided you consult a skill
ful operator the pain resulting from
having a tooth stopped is nothing in
comparison to the aching which will
surely come at slme time or another.
Decayed teeth are not only unsightly
but iney impair tho digestion and In
jure the general health. All acid bev
erages, If frequently taken, are very
harmful to the teeth, for by degrees
they destroy the enamel, and the Ivory,
nn longer protected by this covering,
is very liable to bo injured nnd then
decay soon sets in.

DULL VICTIM'S RGSCUE.
Cycler Snvcs u Parmer from Dcnth In
nn Kxciting Buttle.
Philadelphia, May 9. A dispatch to
the Record from Shamokln says: Near
PaxInos.Fnrmcr Wesley Newberry was
leading a bull along tho highway when
the animal lccaino fractious and at
tacked him. In the first onslaught the
bull gored Newborn' in tho thigh nnd
tossed him Into a pond nt the road
Bide. Not content with this vicious net, tho
bull pursued tho mnn into the pond,
and, catching the farmer helpless there,
again lifted him on Its horns, went
nshore nnd carried him SO feet, after
which Newberry was given a violent
toss, and alighted in a clump of bushes.
Bleeding from a score ot wounds, and
almost exhausted from his struggles In
the unequal battle, tho man crawled
behind a stump, and with the prongs
ot a stick tried to blind tho bull as the
latter again rushed townrd him.
At this stage of the combat a passen
ger train on the Northern Central sped
past. Taking1 In the situation at n
glance, Engineer I'mpleby, who hud
but a few hundred yards more to run
to the stntlon, pulled out the throttle
and hurried on to Paxinos station.
There the alarm was given, and sever
al citizens hastened to Newberry's res
cue. John Heck, a storekeeper, armed
himself, and with a bicycle reached
Newberry as the latter fell exhausted
at the bull's feet. Heck fired a few
shots and diverted the bull's atten
tion from Newberry to himself. Tho
bull rushed at him, but Heck on his
wheel was to licet. He tantalized tho
angry animal by waiving a red hand
kerchief, thus drawing the beast from
Newberry.
Finally a crowd of men appeared nnd
the bull was lassoed, while Newberry
was removed to his home. Ho wns
frightfully gored nnd lacerated from
head to feet nnd will scarcely recover.
Nervura, 17.2. Malt liquors contain
from l.C to 8 per cent, of alcohol, wines
from S to 20 per cent., while ardent
spirits, of which whisky Is a type, con
tains from 45 to CO per cent, of alcohol.
Among the wines It Is only old Port
that contains more than 17 per cent, of
alcohol. It Is therefore aparent that
these "nerve stimulants" and "blood
purifiers" outrank wines in the

Why Is it, asks the Medical Record,
that people will keep various poison
ous drugs about the house in close
proximity to harmless medicines? Why
is it, furthermore, that persons know
ing suoh facts get up at night and
drink something out of an unindentllled
bottle? Is It so much trouble to light
the gas and be sure what one is doing?
Day by day the newspapers recount
deaths resulting from such careless
ness, and It Is hard to feel much sym
pathy with people so reckless of com
mon sense.
According to Flebert, a mustard
plaster made according to the following
directions will not blister tho most sen
sitive skin: Two teaspoonfuls of mus
tard, two of Hour, two of ground gin
ger. Do not mix too dry. Place be
tween two pieces of old muslin and ap
ply. If It burns too much at first, lay
an extra piece of muslin between It
nnd the skin; ns the skin becomes ac
customed to the heat, take the extra
piece of muslin away.
o
Selft treatment is never advisable
for the removal of moles. Tho follow
ing Is a "sure cure" for warts. The
skin surrounding the warts ehould be
covered with absorbent cotton; then,
by means of a glass rod, liquor carbolic
acid may be applied to each wart and
allowed to dry. It causes no pain. In
a few days a portion of the wart will
tail off; renew the application, until
all has been removed.
To relieve lla.tulence, shortness of

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.
New York iMny 8. Considerably over a
fourth of tho dealings at today's short
session of tho Htock Exchange wcro In
Chicago Gas and when tho sales of Sugar
wero ndded about half of the total sales
wcro accounted for. Tho dealings In Chi
cago Gas consisted for tho most part ot
qulto heavy realizing sales and tho loss
amounted to 1, New Jerseyl Central
was subjected to special pressure and lost
I'd. Sugar also sold oft i and Western
Union . Tho losses wero restricted to
lesj Important fractions In other stocks.
Tho strength developed by Omaha sug
gested that tho recent selling of that stock
was probably by tho shorts who found
themselves compelled to cover. Missouri
Pacific was steady nnd was not heavily
dealt in. A light demand for the Gran
ger shares developed after the llrst hour,
nnd this, cottptod with tho demand from
tho short;, was sufficient to check the
downward course of prices and bring
nbout a slight rally In the narrow mar
ket. The resulting gains, howover, did
not extend beyond fractions and tho net
changes In all cases wero quiet unimpor
tant. Tho total sales of stocks today wero
70,817 shares.
