ror Croup, .asthma, bronchitis, or whooping cough, there is no remedy so sure and safe as Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. From the first dose its healing influence is manifest. The sufferer who has been kept awake by the cough falls into a restful sleep, and awakes strong and refreshed. Dr. Ayer’s Cherry SN ie is acknowledged to be a specific for all pulmonary nplaints. Physicians praise and prescribe it. It is now put up in half size bottles at half price, 50c. “One of my children had.croup. One night I was startled by the child’s hard breathing, and on going to it found it strangling. It had nearly ceased to breath. Having a part of a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pevtoral in the house, I gave*the child three doses at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given the child's breathing grew easier, and in a short time it was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved its life.”—C. J. WooupricE, Worthen, Texas. Ayer’s Cherry Pecioral. This Cruel World.

JACOBS OIL c»n=> NEURALGIA SCIENTIFIC POINTERS. |GURRENT NOTES OF DISCOV- ERY AND INVENTION. Joy ‘for the Suburbanite—A Motor Lawn Mower—Steel Casks Are Used Now— A Public Water Supply—The Causes of Cancer. A Public Hot Water Supply- HE question of furnishing to every dwelling a supply of hot. water through pipes in the same fashion as the cold water is furnished is be- ing discussed. The importance of this as a measure of health and cleanli- ness can scarcely be exaggeraed. The extremely poor are not able to buy sufficient fuel to heat water enough to keep up proper sanitary conditions. The supply would be from a central plant, and a most rigid account would be rendered of the amount of hot wat- er used, each family, or persons, be- ing allowed a certain amount, which would have to be duly ascertained. Another idea would be the utilizing of waste heat of the street gas lamps. The heat generates steam and is driven into a reservoir of water which is sit- uated in a chamber below the lamp. There is a penny-in-the-slot machine attached, and by dropping in a small coin a certain amount of water may be secured. The criticism is made on this plan that it necessitates continuous burning of gas, which is by no means economical. The water would be wanted in the daytime, when ordinar- ily there is little, if any, gas consumed in many localities; besides, one must use a common burner, as the incan- descent lights are extremely econom- ical in gas consumption. It would appear that a new system of some sort must be employed. The great profit that would necessarily accrue from the continual dropping of coins in the slot machines would justify an addi- tional consumption of gas and possibly a more brilliant light. It is an un- questioned fact that there are few things more necessary in crowded ci- ties than an ample supply of hot water. There is no better destroyer of germs, and complete cleanliness cannot be se- cured without its use—New York Ledger. J A Mycological Cabinet. So important have mushrooms be- come as an article of diet that the question of deciding upon the various sorts of fungi has been for some time attracting the attention of scientists Educational bulletins are sent out, and a large amount of literature is being distributed with a view to familiariz- ing the public with this product. It is not enough to follow the old rule, “If you live it’s a mushroom; if you die it’s a toadstool;” but the diff2r- ence in the varieties must be clearly understood in order to avoid risk ‘to life. A series of illustrations has been prepared, showing the form, color and general appearance of the specim2ns belonging to this family. In view of the fact that almost everybody is fond of mushrooms, and that they wouid be in more general use if people were not afraid of them, it is suggested that the agricultural experiment statioas prepare colored plates that may b<¢ furnished to the public schools on de- mand, and that whenever opportunity offers lectures on this subject be given. It would also be interesting to start a mycological club in every section of the country where mushrooms abound and to cultivate a taste for this deli- cious edible. Mushrooms are not dif- ficult to grow and they are a most wel- come addition to the table of the rich and poor alike. Steel Casks Are Used Now. A steel cask is being extensively ad- vertised in England, as a substitute for ordinary wooden barrels for ship- ping petroleum, medicinal extracts, es- sential oils and chemicals. It is said that the Standard Oil company’s Ger- man branch has extensively adopted this movel cask. Plain terne coated steel sheets are employed in its con- struction, these being first passed through a corrugating machine, which forms parallel corrugations from end to end and considerably stiffen and | strengthen the cask when completed. In order to obtain the necessary curva- ture to the cask, it is passed through a second machine, which forms the | bilge by taking the corrugations of | different dimensions; in other words, | st opens out the corrugations in the | middle and presses those at the top and bottom together. A number of hydraulic presses are used to cut out the circular ends and to form in them at the same time a raised section, which assists in stiffening the ends. The parts are then put together, the side seam being closed by means of a ; specially made machine that produces a perfectly secure joint, but solder is employed to render all sections auite tight. The advantages claimed for this cask are great durability,strength and exceptionally small repairs. The first cost is greater than that of a wooden barrel, but the extreme length of life, and freedom from loss of con- tents by breakage, leakage, etc., more than compensate for this. There is nc loss by absorption as in the case with wood.—Ex, Death from Chewing Gum, The death of a seven-year-old child in England from chewing gum has called attention to the fact that more or less danger always lurks in the use of such articles. While the gum itselt may not be sufficiently poisonous to cause death or illness, there are a number of cases on record where chil- dren have swallowed the gum, the re- sult being the clogging of the passazé leading from the stomach, followed by inflammation and death. As a gen- eral thing gum of all sorts is a most excellent thing to let alone. Of course this is a warning that is bound to pass unheeded, as gum has its devotees,and they will, under no circumstances, give up what is to them a very great enjoyment. It is, however, of the utmost importance that the hygienic effect of gum be carefully studied. There are persons who seem to have a chronic sore mouth from this pra- tice, and to such people the habit is little more or less than suicidal. Joy tor the Suburbanite. The day long desired by the subur- banite would seem to be at hand. The lawn mower with which he can obey his wife’s weekly behest to cut the grass, and which, nevertheless, will not produce muscular rheumatism, hae been made. The motor lawn mowel has been invented. The chief objec- tion to the hand propelled mower every suburbanite knows. He has felt it in his aching bones often enough to be familiar with it. The horse-drawn mower tramples down the fresh and tender grass, but in the motor mower there is nothing to interfere with the grass before it passes under the cut- ters, and the great weight concentrated on the three rollers of the machine rolls out the imperfections and leaves a solid, even sod—a valuable feature, especially in golf and other recreation grounds.—Chicago News. The Causes of Cancer. There are few diseases tha. afflict the human family that are more to be dreaded than those of a cancerous na- ture. The cancer proper is a most ap- palling foe to life. Whether it can De cured is and always has been a debat- able question. Cases are cited where alleged marvelous cures have been ef- fected, but this does not to any appre- ciable extent alter the facts in the case that the cancer is practically incurable, once it gets any sort of headway in the system. The causes of this disease have been so imperfectly understood that any effort at prevention was worse than useless. A French scientist claims to have discovered cancer germs in wood, and that artisans who work in wood are much more subject to this disease, all things being con- sidered, than those who handle most other materials. Having once started on this line of search, he found can- cer germs in wood and vegetation of various kinds. Elm and willow trees showed a greater preponderance of these germs than other woods. In high altitudes or where trees are not common, very few cancer germs were found; from all of which it appears that we may be at last on the high road to some reliable and conclusive knowledge upon a subject which has baffled the skill of medical scientists for many years. Heart Beats in Sleep. From the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat: Why one takes cold easily ly- ing down with their clothes on and why the necessity of cover during sleep is because nature takes the time when one is lying down to give the heart rest and that organ consequently makes ten strokes less per minute than when one is in an upright posture. Multiply that by sixty minutes ‘and it is 600 strokes. Therefore, in eight hours spent in lying down the heart is saved nearly 5,000 strokes, and as the heart pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke, it lifts 30,000 ounces less of blood in a night of eight hours spe1t in bed than when one is in an upright position. As the blood flows so much more slowly through the veins when one is lying down, one must supply them with extra covering the warmth usually furnished by circulation. An Indian Clartonet. There has been discovered among the Ute Indians of Colorado a sort of clarionet, which has a sweeter and more plaintiff tone than any of our orchestral instruments. The effect of the sound wafted up to the mountains from the Indian villages is described as being magical. Goldfish and Alcohol. A’ goldfish will die in ninety min- utes if placed in water which contains 1 per event of alcohol. In water which contains 20 per cent of alcohol it will die instantly. | __A BOON FOR - SUFFERERS. A Remedy Which Has Cured More Than 1,000,000 People. “5 Drops” is the name of a powerful remedy which is guaranteed to cure rheumatism, neuraliga, catarrh, asth- ma, la grippe and kindred ailments. The company is entirely safe in mak- ing the guarantee, because every month they receive thousands of grateful let- ters from those who were sufferers, but have never received one complaint. The effect of “5 Drops” is felt at once. James Williams of Regent, Ill., writes on November 12, 1897: “My wife has been suffering two years with rheuma- tism. She used about ofte bottle of ‘5 Drops,’ and can now go without her crutches.” To more extensively adver- tise the merits of this remedy the pro- ducers will for the next thirty days send out 100,000 of their sample bottles of this positive cure for 25 cents a bot- tle by mail prepaid.
