A LETTER FROM
NORTH CAROLINA
Warrrnton, N. C.—I was nearly dend
with kidney affection for six months,
growing worse nil the time. My case
was bo|teless—was unable to get about
but little. I had tried everything with
little benefit. I took three bottles of
Stunrt’s Duchu nnd Juniper nnd was
perfectly cured. Am now well nnd all
rigid. 1 owe my life to Stuart’s lluchu
and Juniper.—11. T. Macon.
O THER things cure Fever besides Johnson’s Tonic, but nothing else can
make the same splendid cures that the Tonic makes. It is one thing
to be cured in TEN DAYS and quite another thing to be cured in ONE DAY.
If you suffer with Imckaebe, dull bend-
ache, swollen feet, stiff joints, nnd have
no energy and sec imaginary specks in
the air, you hnvc symptoms of kidney
trouble.
Stuart’s Duchu and Juniper will relievo
I you. All druggists, $1.00. Write for

The one fish medicine of which mod
ern science thoroughly approves Is cod
liver oil, «nd this, though In fnr less
nauseous form than formerly, Is swal
lowed in tons every year.
In old days a much wider use was
made of fish as cures for various evils,
nnd some of these practices have sur
vived to the present day. Borne little
time ago a boy died of epilepsy In a
north Wales parish. The doctor, called
In too late, Inquired if the deceased had
been given any medicine. “Oh, yes,"
was the naswer. “We caught a trout,
drowned It in new milk and gave It to
the boy.”
Eels are supposed to possess nil kinds
of virtues. In the dark nges of medi
cine a powder made of eels’ liver wns
considered an absolute specific for deaf
ness and was also employed In cases of
aguo or fever. A decoction of eels’ fat
Is still used by Dutch peasants ns n
remedy for falling hair.
But the most valuable part of the eel,
according to popular superstition. Is Its
skin. Mnny an old fnrmor wears n
belt of eelskln as a preventive against
rheumatism, and some believe thnt a
garter made of the skin of this snake-
llke fish worn next to tho human skin
ns a preventive not only against rheu
matism, but also against sprains or
similar Injuries.
Another cure for rheumatism, which
finds favor with salt water fishermen,
Is a red herring. The herring being the
most plentiful of all tho sen fish, a
number of superstitions have attached
themselves to It. For luck through tho
ensuing year one must be sure to eat
n herring on, New Yenr's day.
Fishermen believe thnt ench shoal Is
headed by a king herring, which Is
more thnn double as large ns any of Its
followers. They believe thnt when one
of the "kings” comes up tn the net It
should bo thrown overboard; otherwise
the next day's fishing will be a failure.

’Vhe Hair.
A single hair, which cun support a
weight of two ounches. Is so elastic
that’ It may be stretched to one-third of
Its entire length nnd then regain its for
mer size nnd condition. Dr. Plncus
has measured the growth of hair bj
cutting off circles about one Inch In
diameter from the heads of healthy
men nud so comparing tho growth of
the patches with thnt of the rest of the
hair. He found that the growth .rate
generally became slower after cutting;
that lu some cases the hair on tho
patches grew at the same rate as the
rest, but that It never grew any faster.
The ordinary length of the hair on
the head ranges between twenty-two
Inches and about forty-five Inches the
latter being considered unusually long.
