Taken in time,
even Consumption yields to the
y
wonderful effects of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It
won’t make new lungs—bnj it will
make diseased ones healthy when
nothing else will. There’s reason
for it, too. Consumption is Lung-
scrofula. For every form of scrof
ula, and all blood-taints, the “ Dis
covery’’ is a positive cure. It’s
the most potent strength - restorer,
blood - cleanser, and flesh - builder
known to medical science. For
Weak Lungs, Spitting of Bloqd,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and
all lingering Coughs, it’s an une
qualed remedy. It’s a guaranteed
one. If it doesn’t benefit or cure,
you have your money back. You’ve
everything to gain from it—nothing
to lose.
It’s especially potent in curing
Tetter, Salt-rhcnra, Eczema, Erysip
elas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes,
Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged
Glands, Tumors and Swellings.
Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal
under its benign influence.

In every wte prolonged struggles have
been made against deafness; there have
been special physicians, special instru
ments and special remedies for the ear.
The acoustic comet of Dr. Larrey, in
tended to he concealed in the hair; the
acoustic bell of Dr. Itard, acoustic tubes,
dilating tubes, artificial ears of metal,
silk and guttu percha. andiphones, auri
cular microphones, conches, artificial
tympanums, even acoustic fans for the
use of ladies, have bad at divers times
a reputation more or Jess deserved. Fi
nally, tne announcement was made a
few daya ago that a new acoustic horn
had been found which not only enabled
the deaf to hear, but which diminished
and even conquered deafness.
The apparatns is composed of a large
bell of enameled metal, united by
gutta percha tube, about fifty centime
ters in length, to a little bone tube cov
ered with gu‘tu percha, which extends
somewhat beyond it. The tulie is cov
ered outside by a light stuff intended to
arrest all foreign vibrations. The little
tulie penetrates into the auditory pas
sage and touches the tympanum.
Thanks to this, not a sonnd, not a breath
is lost on the palient. and no matter how-
little hearing remains to the subject he
perceives sonnds and noises: that is to
say. vowels and consonants, and finally
beeven bears words. The sonnds are
clear, without buzzing, without reso
nance uinl with a remarkable intensity.

want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and

Comfort isn’t all of it

“bones” that can’t break or

both of these.

One «f Perry's Vessel..
An imjKirtant relic of the war of 1813
has just been unearthed at Ferrysburg.
It is the lower portion of the hull of the
sloop Porcupine, one of the nine small
vessels built by Commodore Perry on
Lake Erie, and with which ho achieved
his great victory over the British squad
ron, known in American history ns
Perry's victor)’. Perry's nine vessels con
sisting of the Lawrence, his flagship, of
twenty guns; the Niugara, twenty guns
the Caledonia, three guns: schooner
Ariel, four; the Scorpion, two: the Som
mers, of two guns and two swivels; the
sloops Trip, Tigress and Porcupine, one
guu each.
The Porcupine was taken to Detroit,
where, in 1880, her upper works were re
built and her name changed to Caroline.
Eventually she was brought to Grand
Haven and sailed by Captain Harry Mil
ler. In the early fifties she was set
adrift in Grand river near the mouth.
The current carried her out into Lake
Michigan, hut a west wind blew her
back in a day or two, and she was after
ward refitted and sailed a season or two.
Finally, about the year 1855, she was al
lowed to siuk, head ou, at Ferrysburg.
Her reiuuins will be taken from the
water and proiicrly cared for.—Grand
Rapids Democrat.
Looking fur Ilattlora.
“The King Snake Story” is tho head
ing under which an Alabama contempo
rary printsthe following: “We have been
informed that about one month ago, in
Morgan county, while a man and his
wife were sitting ont oil the veranda
late in the afternoon, their uttentiou
wa3 attracted by the appearance of a
large king snake on the steps a few feet
away. They wore perfectly quiet, and
the snake crawled np the steps until it
reached the top; then it held its head
np, as mncli ns to say, ‘Can I come in?’
They remained perfectly still, and the
snake took it for granted that the silence
gave consent, so it proceeded to enter
the hull and crawled leisurely along
until ft reached a bedroom where the
door stood ojien. It entered the door,
mitlring its way under the bed.
“Here the king snake pounced on a
large rattlesnake that had coiled itself
around the bed springs. After a deadly
struggle with this monster rattler the
king snnke went ont in the yard nnd got
some kind of weed to kill the poisonous
bites. After taking the medicine the
king snake returned to the honse and
continued the battle until the rattlesnake
was dead. It wus live feet in length and
had nine rattles.””
Opening of the Dulse Hminon.
Wlmt ho, ye epicures of Irish birth!
Listen to the gladsome tidings that the
first crop of dulse for the season of 1891-2
has arrived and is awaiting your eager
purchase. Fresh from the rocks of Ban-
doren ami ull along tho Galway ami
Sligo coast it comes.
The dulse, or dillfsk as the real Hi
bernians call it, is unusually plentiful
and of extra fine flavor this fnll, and
when stewed with, plenty of milk and
butter it will make a dish fit for n king.
A quart of it looks like a choice assort
ment of faded morocco leather scraps,
bnt it is like the proverbiul singed cut,
and no one who knows its taste minds
its looks. The stew or broth it makes is
a general tonic for the system, and espe
cially good for dyspepsia; hut men from
the “ould sod” say further that It en
larges the heurt, enriches the brogue and
enlivens the feet of all whopartake of it.

Recent experiments as read before the
lost Congress of Surgeons at Berlin, leave
no doubt that the true way to CLEAR
THE SYSTEM OF MICROBI is
through the pores of the skin. It has been
found that a remedy which kills the Hi-
crobi will also destroy the life of the
patient; but it has also been found that the
Microbi can be forced out through the
skin, and it is in this waythat Q i
relieves the system of poison. Si

An Improved Shirt.
An idea as old as the hills is gaining
recognition now, after having failed
persistently. I speak of the idea of the
coat shirt.” This is a garment which
in most respects does not differ from the
ordinary dress shirt. It has no claim to
novelty in ap|iearauoe when it is worn.
The advantage is in the putting on. The
garment does not go over the head, bat
is adjusted in the same way as an or
dinary coat. It is closed behind and en
tirely open in front. It is being pat
apon the market this year, and its future
looks brighter than ever before. In
swelldom it is not unknown already, bnt
it has never gained wide popularity.—
