THE BIGGEST TURTLE KNOWN.
Weighs 500 Pounds and Supposed to
Be 300 Years Old.
From the Philadelphia Press.
A tortoise weighing 500 pounds and
measuring twenty-seven Inches from
the tli of its tall to the end of Its
nose has just crawled Into the light
of publicity from tho island of Mau
ritius, its sponsor being Wnlter Roths
child of the zoological garden In Lon
don, The Mauritius owner of the tortoise
in uuthorlty for the statement that It
was In the possession of his family for
150 years, and experts who have exam
ined it declare that It li not less than
300 years old. Think of the events
that havo occurred during tho life of
this tortoise.
However old It may be. there Is no
symptom of decline either In Its np
penranco or actions. The tortoise nev
er vns notable for love of rapid move
ment or movement of nny kind that
could be avoided but this one is par
ticularly remarknblo for the lack of
desire to exert Itself. Still. In hot
wenthef It is always alert and animate,
responding pmmptly to a sharp tap
on the shell, which It evidently recog
nizes as the signal tor feeding.
Like the rest of tho genus, these
large tortoises apreur to be totally
deaf. Although popularly known as
tho "Alduhru tortoises," from their
sole habit, a small group of uninhabit
ed Islands between the most northoi
ly point of Madagascar untl Zanzibar,
the name Is yomowhnt misleading, as
popular nomenclature Is apt to be.
There are four species of lortolse be
longing to tho Aldnbran group, of
which the new arrival Is one, but not
the InrgeM. The Aldnbran tortoises
exce?d the better-known reptiles of
the Galapagos Islands In size, but, like
the latter, nro so highly esteemed as
food that they nre likely to become ex
tinct. The number still surviving on tho
low, bush-clad Islnnds of Aldnbra Is
very email, and the fact that there Is
no permanent population on tho Isl
ands leaves the creatures at tho mercy
of passing crews. That they continue
td exist Is chiefly due to the difficulty
of penetrating1 tho tangled thickets In

SENSELESS SACRIFICES TO
SUPERSTITION,
The Human Sacrifices of the
Nineteenth Century
It wns tho custom ot the ancient
Britons to honor Woden with a glgnn
tic holocaust. A huge figure, bearing
the rude outlines of n man. wns fash
ioned of wicker work, nnd Into this
figure were thrust tho struggling forms
of men nnd women. Then tho priests
applied fire to tho structure and the
miserable victims ot human super
stition wore roasted to death We
shudder as wo think ot such bnrlmrlsm.
We give thanks that we live In tho
nineteenth cei(tury nnU In free Amer
ica. And yet, in this free land, super
stition has Its votaries nnd Its victims.
Stntlstlcs prove that each year one
sixth of all the men nnd women who
die uro victims of u. disease popularly
regarded as Incurable the dread dis
ease, consumption. It would bo absurd
to deny that In certain stages the vic
tim of consumption is beyond the help
of the scientific knowledge of the pres
ent day, though every year science
grows stronger to aid tho consumptive.
It is equally absurd to deny that there
Is abundant evidence that bronchitis,
obstinate, lingering cough, bleeding of
the lungs, and conditions In general
which terminate In consumption, nre
being cured dally by the use ot Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
FACTS ARE STl'BBORN THINGS.
There Is no getting past a fact. You
may refuse to noeept It. but there It
stands, challenging doubt and denial,
nnd Inviting Investigation. The fact
that "Golden Medical Discovery" does
cure bronchitis, does cure hemorrhages
of the lungs, does cure obstinate, ling
ering coughs, does build up the emaci
ated and enfeebled body Into health,
is a fact as undeniable as thatthe sun
rises and sets. The proof does not rest
on a single euro, but on thousands of
cures. Suppose a man lost on the
trackless prairie stumbles suddenly
upon a path, tramped hard by' the
passage of thousands of feet. Will he
sit down and say I am lost? Or will
he take the one chance of help that
opens to him, nnd follow the trail which
points to safety? Every time ho will
strike Into tho trail and go on. stag
gering and stumbling, to where he may
find the help of human hands, the suc
cor of human hearts. There is sucli a
beaten trail to health marked for the
man who Is coughing his life away. It
has been trodden by thousands who
had given themselves up for .lost, nnd
who have found In It n way to henlth
and long life. Why, then, are men will
ing to accept tho theory that they are
lost to health and happiness? Why do
they accept a horrible doom with
scarcely a struggle? Because
THEY .HAVE BEEN ROBBED
of hope by superstition. Tho priests
of this superstition, tho medical men,
have said "Nothing can be done for
you." and they accept the dictum and
sit down and nwalt their fate. The
general attitude of the average medi
cal practitioner toward the suffiror
from lung disease Is cruel to the ex
treme. Havlmv no help to offer him
self, ho denies that there Is nny help
to be found. He pooh poobs a relia
ble remedy and says don't waste your
money, or, as Mr. McCawiey's physi
cian said of "Golden Medical Discov
ery," "You may as well take so much
water."
Yet Mr. McCawiey took "Golden
Medical Discovery" nnd was cured. He
saw n testimonial from n man who
had been cured of a diseased condition
similar to his own. The doctors
couldn't help him; they said it was "a
case of die anyway," a Mr. McCawiey
looked nt It. But he was a cautious
man. He wrote to the man who claim
ed to have been cured by Dr. Pierce's
medicine beforo he wrote to Dr. Pierce.
That wns business.
These testimonials are genuine and
honest, and one fact will be noted In
almost nil of them -that tho use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
wus not begun until the dor4.rs failed
to help or pronounced tho doom of
duath.
The one vital question to you If you
are sick will bo
WHAT IS MY CHANCE?
Can 1 bo cured' Look at the facts.
Read over the testimonials given be
low, and then answer that question
in tho light of common sense. These
people who were cured had lungs Just
like your lungs, nnd blood Just like
your blood. That's the main point t
remember. Tho symptoms may vary,
but tho body Is tho same always, nnd
tho work of healing to be done In that
body Is the same In every case At
tlio leapt your "chance" of cure Is as
good as any of those whose testimon
ials Lave been given. But there's a
blighter word of encouragemont for
you yet, In tho fact that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medleul Discovery has cured
ninety-eight per cent, of all who have
given It a fair nnd faithful trial. Now
read these testimonials until you get
the facts by heart;
"Twenty-llvo years ngo when I was
thirteen yenrs old. I had. what tho doe
tor called consumption," writer, Mrs.
l'illa Tnylor Dodge, matron of tho
Homo for Missionaries' Children, Mor
gan Park, HI., Box lf,5. "He told my
mother that nothing could bo done for
mo excepting to make mo ns coin-
fortahleos pbst'lote. Tile pajdpk-litttH
M.E, church In the plnce where I lived
hoard' of fay. r'ondlUtii.'.'iind, although
ho Was nbl ucqtmlnteA 'with our fnm
lly, he called, nnd during the call ask'
.cd my mother If she -M-ould,,low ma
to take n medicine If he won hi send "it
to mo. She thought that It could do
no harm If It did no good, so lie sent nv
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden .Medical
Discovery. Before tlio bottle witK
empty my friends saw a little Improve
ment In my henlth, whereupon another
bottle was bought. I can't say now
Just how much I took, but r Improved
steadily, nnd today nm a well woman,
as you may Imagine I mutt bo to hava
tho enro of thin Home. I havo un
bounded faith In "Golden Medical Dis
covery.' "
"About live years ago," Writes Cor
nellus McCawiey, esq,, of Leechburg,
Armstrong Co,, Pa.. "I was taken with
hemorrhages, and I had elghty-ono of
them In nil; sometimes spitting five
pints of blood nt one time. It brought:
mo down so low that I could .not walk;
nor get any sleep. I'trled a great marly
things nnd went to doctors in Pitts
burg, but got no relief. My friends
SKc
gave me lip to die, nnd Indeed gath
ered two or three times to see mo die.
My doctor did all he could for me, wns
very attentive, but could not stop tho
hemorrhages and all gave me ud to
die. with consumption, I got a llttlo
book of Dr. Pierce's and while looking
over the names In tho pamphlet of
those who stated that they had been
cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery I found one case that seemed
to be exactly like mine tho case of
Mr. C. H. Harris. I sat down nnd
wrdte to him, describing my case. In
about one week I got an answer from
him, telling mo that Dr. Pierce's Gol
den Medical Discovery saved his life,
and he advised me to try it. I told my
doctor 1 would try It, and he said 'You
may as well take water,' but I thought
It was only 'die' anyway, so I wrote
to you and commejiced tho use of the
'Golden Medical Discovery' and Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. When I had taken
six bottles I bad eight bad hemorr
hages: wrote to you andj'ou sent mo
word to keep on with tho 'Discovery'
and the hemorrhage would stop nfter
a while. I thank the Lord It did. That
was over two yenrs ago and I havo not
had any bleeding since."
