Against the wall at one side of the room 43 a narrow shelf, or platform, along which runs agroove. At intervals this trough or groove has deep recesses, and at two places these recesses are ot larger size. This trough or groove represents the canal. The recesses are the sidings.

S THEIR UNIVERSAL PREVALENCE, DANGEROUS: CHARACTER, AND HOW THEY LIVE AND ARE KILLED. ‘The Germans consume large amounts of uncooked pork, and often get living animals called trichinew into their blood, which cause the most terrible death. Americans draw in the germs of dissase and death with every breath. Malaria, miasma, sewer gas, and the thousand poisons in the air, in food, and in water are at war with health and life all the while, The blood that circulates ian human veins is composed of num- bers of small corpuscles that resemble animals, and when anything poisonous gets into the blood it be- comes just like stagnant water, full of living animals that feed upon each other and upon the blood itself. And yet not one person in fifty is free from blood. poisoning in some form. Every moment of the life, whether awake or asleep, a million poisonots animals, invisible to the naked eye, are feeding upon the very elements that make and sustain life, ‘These are facts—they are solemn truths~end they demand the most eeriousattention. These germs must be killed: they must be annihilated. But how? Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue Hospital College, New York says: “The judicious use of alcoholic stimulants is one of the striking characteristics of progress in the prac- ticoof medicine during the last half-century”; while Dr. J.P. Gilbert, of Lyons, N. ¥., says: “From my 6x- perience in the treatment of chronic diseases of & wasting and debilitating nature I have frequently found it necgssary to advise the use of stimulants, and in my opinion, Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, for purity and other desirable qualities, cannot be surpassed for such purposes. Its action seems to be that of a pure stimulant, with none of the inebriating effects which ‘sre too often found in so-ea#ied medicinal whiakeys.” ‘When we consider the terrible amount of poison that is in the blood, and the misery and desth it is causing, and when we realize thatits germs can all be driven out bya stimulant (not intoxicant) like Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, we have cause for thankfulness that modern science is doing so much for mankind in removing disease, destroying its cause, and bringing health and happiness, instead of misery and death. Most of the leading people of the land are realising the value of this Whiskey, and many whose prejudices have heretofore kept them entirely from the use of spirits are secing its pure and valuable qualities in warding off diseases, and use it regularly in their homes. DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY Is sold only in Bottles. Price, $1.00.

Thavebeen using Hop Bitters, and have received great benefit from them for liver complaint and mala- rial fever. They are superior to all other medicines. P, M. BARNES. KALAMAzoo, Micu., Feb. 2, 1886. Hor Brrrens Mo. Co.; I know Hop Bitters will bear recommendation hon- estly. All who use them confer upon them the high- est encomiume, and give them credit for making cures—all the proprietors claim for them. I have kept them since they were first offered to the public. They took high rank from the first, and maintained it, and are more called for than all others combined. So long ‘as they keep up their high reputation for purity and usefulness I shall continue to recommend them— something I have never done before with any patent medicine. J. J. BABCOCE, ‘Physician and Drnggist Kanoxa, Mo., Feb. 9, 1886. purchased five bottles of your Hop Bittersaf Bishop & Co, last fall for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.
