Not only does the wrapper of every bottle
of Dr. Pierge's Golden Medical Discovery, the
famous medicine for weak stomach: torpid
liver or hiliousness and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon it, in
plain English, a full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but a small
book has been compiled from numerous
standard medical works, of all the different
schools of practice, containing very numer-
ous extracts from the writings of leading
practitioners of medicine, endorsing in the
strongest possible terms, each and every ingre-
dient contained in Dr. Pierce’s medicines.
One of these little books will be mailed free
to any one sending address on postal card or
by letter, to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y.,
and requesting the same. - From this little
book it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's med=
fcines contain no alcohol: narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native, medici-
pal roots of great value; also that some of
the most valuable ingredients contained in
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak,
nervous, over-worked, “run-down,” nervous
and debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago, by the Indians for similar ailments
affecting their squasws. In fact, one of the
most valuable medicinal plants entering into
the composition of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription was known to the Indians as
«8quaw-Weed.” Our knowledge of the uses
of not a few of our most valuable native, me=
dicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exact pro-
cesses, the "Favorite Prescription” is a most
efficient remedy for regulating all the wom-
anly functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and- retorversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up the
nerves and bringing about a perfect state of
health. Sold by all dealers in medicines.

1806 the Most Fatal Year.
The year 1906, according to in-
surance company, established the
most fatal record of disasters on land
and sea, of any year in the history of
this country. Motor: cars contributed
to fatalities not quite deaths;
1,184. persons were killed-in burning
buildings, 2,985 were drowned.
Explosions killed 623. Falling and
collapsed buildings cut off 483 lives.
Five hundred and ninety-nine persons
were killed in mining accidents, 760
in cyclone storms, 205 died from
lightning strokes, and electricity
numbered 176 persons as its victims.
Six hundred persons were killed by
the accidental discharge of firearms,
and exactly the number per-
{shed because of elevator accidents.
Seven thousand pedestrians met
death ¢n the public streets.
Teas killed 5.000. The loss of life
by ocean disasters during 1906 was
2.193, and on the great lakes and riv-
ers lives were lost. Deaths due
to hunting accidents totaled 74. Thir-
ty-four thousand were killed while
doing their day's work. Sixty thou-

DOCTOR'S FOOD TALI.
Belection of Food Ore of the
Important Acts,in Life.
Most
‘A Mass. doctor says: “Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con-
trol that the proper selection of food
should be and is one of the most im-
portant acts in life.
“On this subject, I may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is
sufficient for the cereal part of a
meal, and experience demonstrates
that the user is perfectly nourished
from onc meal to another,
“I am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods of
this character would increase the
term of human life, add to the sum
total of happiness and very consider-
ably improve society in general. 1
am free to mention the food, for I
personally know of its value.”
Grape-Nuts food can be used by
dpabes in arms or adults. It is ready
gooked, can be served instantly, either
cold with cream, or with hot water or
bot milk poured over. All sorts of
puddings and fancy dishes can be
made with Grape-Nuts. The food is
concentrated and very economical, for
four heaping teaspoons are sufficient
for the cereal part of a meal. Read

desirable acts impossible.
If I had to speculate on the origin
of these curious antl spuriaus instincts,
for such they may be termed, I should
assign them to the revival of in-
stinets which existed in full force
and had great biological value in our
remote ancestry, but which in most
of us have long been obsolete. When
our ancestors were arboreal in habit,
this habit was their salvation from
extinction. Feeble in body, destitute
of weapons and of defensive armor,
devoid of means of concealment, their
safety from carnivorous. foes lay in
the agility with which ‘they
climb out of reach, and in the accu-
racy with which they could-leap from
bough to bough and from tree to tree.
Whenever they descended to the
ground they were in danger. It is on
the ground that the greater carnivora
pursue their prey, and adapted as our
ancestors were to arboreal life, their
progress on--open ground - Was un-
doubtedly less rapid than among the
tree and most probably less
rapid that of their principal
foes. Among the tree tops . they
were secure. There no enemy could
vie awith them in activity or hope to
overtake them: but on the ground
they were at a disadvantage... On-the
flat they had no chance against the
spring of the panther or the speed and
wind of the wolf; but once let them
attain the security of the forest and
they could grin at their enemies be-
low. The further they ventured
from their secure retreat the greater
the . peril they. were in; the .nearer
their refuge, the more complete their
of security. Sinee instinets,
using the term in the ef -men-
tal-eravings, become adapted to modes
life, which in turn they dictate,
may be sure that in the arboreal
stage of their existencé aversion ex.
isted to any extended excursion from
their places of security and refuge.
Near to trees, they were in safety;
far from trees they were in continual
danger, and therefore in continual un-
easiness. In such a situation they
had an abiding and well founded
dread and sense of impending danger.
This is the state of mind which, as
it seems to me, is reproduced in sim-
ilar circumstances in -agoraphebia.
The craving of the subject of this
malady is to be near, not trees nec-
essarily, it is true, but near to some

such a structure, he has just the feel-
ing of dread, of impending danger, of
imminent disaster, of something
dreadful about to happen that a man
would have who was walking through
a jungle infested by tigers, or that a
child has when alone in the dark.
And this is just such their natural
habitat. I have seen a woman af-
fected with agoraphobia get from
one side ‘of a court to the other by
not only going around by the wall,
and: touching it = all the way, but
squeezing herself up against it, and
clutching at the bare surface. Suffer-
from this malady cannot cross
an open space. They cannot venture
more than a step or two from some
vertical surface. They feel no un-

around them though it be. Their

The opposite malady, claustropho-

of affairs of much later occurrence in
our racial history. When

a conflict between the immeasurably
old, primitive habit of recosting under
the open sky and the modern inno-
vation - of taking shelter from. the
weather. The of confinement
must been very irksome. Wg
nray that there was no sur-

The new. habit ‘was adopted very
gradually. Only in very vio-
lent storm would the first indwellers
creeps into a hole for shelter, and
they would soon find their circum-
scribed quarters intolerable, and brave
the elements as soon as the weath-
er began to moderate.
Perhaps the new instinct was first
implanted in the young by the par-
ents bestowing their tender offspring
in holes during their own absence or
when cold and rain became severe.
It- is not easy to teach an old dog
new tricks; but a young wild rabbit
or squirrel, taken at a very - early
age from the nest, never acquires
the untamable wildness that is so
conspicuous a feature in the charac:
ter of thefiold. In any case, the habit
of taking shelter in more or less
spaces was a habit of slow
and gradual acquirement, and we
may be sure that it was not ac-
quired without many a relapse and
many a backsliding. "We can ahnost

It is to the imperfect acquisition
of this later instinct to seeking shel-

is to the reassertion over
more remote and earlier
craving for the open sky,
someness . of confinement, that the
malady of eclaustrophcbia seems to
me to be due. In the subject of this
malady is revived in its original
strength that craving for open sky
and open air, for possibility of move-
ment in every direction, which were
ingrained in our ancestors Dy their
free arboreal lives, and which were
overcome with such difficulty when
first they descended to inhabit terra
firma. Like the sufferer from ago-

Whole Body Covered With Cuban
Itch—Cuticura Remedies Cure
at Cost of 75c.
“My little boy, when only an infant of
three months, caught the Cuban Itch.
Sores broke out from his head to the hot-
tom of his feet. He would itch and claw
himself and cry all the time. He could not
sleep day or night, and a light dress is all
he could wear. I called one of our best
doctors to treat him, and his treatment did
not do any good, hut he seemed to get
worse. He suffered so terribly that my
husband said he believed he would have to
die. I had almost given up hope when a
lady friend told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies. 1 used the Caticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at
once fell into a sleep, and he slept with
ease for the first time for two months.
After three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day 1 commenced to use the Cuticura Rem-
>s my baby was entirely well. The treat-
nent only cost. me 75¢.. and 1 would have
gladly paid $100 if I could not have got it
any cheaper. 1 feel safe in saying that the
Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is
