'■'V Lk THE aMERICUS DAILY TIME8-RE tHijrsda B 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. * OratMnln Hmle In Bnr. 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. —New York Telegram. This is the wap •with the Bali corset: if you 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 have your money.

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. —New York Herald.

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.

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.— New York World. W.
