Commissioner Warner for the

Cure for Intemperance.
A southern doctor in at'.eud
ance at a recent medical conven
tion at a dinner at which the
luestion of intoxication and its
cure was discussed made a state
ment which was regarded by
some of the physicians and lay
men who were listening to him
as remarkable.
He said that he had given a good
deal of attention to the question
of inebriety and its prevention or
cure, and stated that he had tound
that the creating of an appetite
for fruit was the best, and in fact
the only remedy for the disease.
Fruit he said will destroy entire
ly the tato fo liquor, and in his
experience he had never lound a
mm that was fond of fruit; who
at the same time had an appetite
for drink. On the contrary he
said, nobody ever saw a drunkard
who cared for fruit.
The remedy is so simple, that
it is worth considering, and ex
perimentation is within reach of
everyone.
A SCIENTIFIC WOINDER.
The cures that stand to its cred
it make Bucklen's Arnica Salve
a scientific wonder. It cured E.
R. Mulford, lecturer to" the Pa
trons ol Husbandry, Waynesboro,
Pa., of a distressing case of piles.
It heals the worst burns, sores,
boils, ulcers, cuts, wounds, cliil
blaius and salt rheum. Only 25c
