Not the wealth of J. Pierpont
Morgan or of John D Rocke
feller, but several large fortunes
have been spent in bringing to
a point of perfection and de
veloping the product known as
| “Bromonia.”
P The present company, after a
| long and tedious litigation, has
acquired all right and title to
the trademark, “Bromonla,” as
sets and good will, etc.
In a comparatively short time
"Bromonia” will be known
everywhere—even to the re
motest parts of the civilized
world.
^ The p'oof of the pudding is in
™ he eating. The mere state-
nent that “Bromonia” is of
such tremendous efficacv and so
beneficial that it should be in
he home of every citizen in the
. vilized world is not enough
, iwadays to convince the skep-
- al public, deluded as it has
‘en in the past by the myriads
takers and heartless charla-
who have taken the pub-
' money in exchange fordan-
■JS, insidious and habit-
ng drugs. The invalid in
enlightened days wants
evidence of sincerity on
irt of the owner of a pro-
ary remedy before invest*

We propose to see that every
ilized human adult who de-
■s to try our remedav at our
ense can do so without one
A of cost. We are capital
ized at Fout Millions of dollars,
this amount being thought nec
essary in order to carry out our
plans.
Read the following carefully:
If you have consumption or
some of the contagious forms
of blood poisoning we cannot
cure you. We don’t pretend to
cure you You need the indi
vidual treatment of some
skilled specialist; but if you are
run down in general health, if
you have dyspepsia, are subject
to fainting spells, a victim to in
somnia, biliousness, kidney or
liver trouble, catch cold easily,
if your system is in that condi
tion that you may become an
easy prey to the disease germs
of pneumonia, la grippe and the
various epidemics, if you are
bothered with constant head
ache, loss of memory, generally
impaired vitality, we can help
you, and, if you follow our di
rections, render you immune
against sickness. Most skin
disease can be cured by the use
of “Bromonia.”
“Bromonia” is to the human
system what the scrubbing
brush and soap are to the dirty
washbowl. It aids Nature to
resume normal action. It in
creases the strength, the fight
ing ability of the phagocytes of
the blood; it promotes the
healthy flow of the salivary and
gastric secretions. If vour stom
ach is in good condition, you
are well. The Chinese are a
wise people. They accost each

THE SLIME ON FISHES.
Special sde now being held by
Dr. Paul Penibton,
Newnan, Ga,
Common to All Spi'clci nnil EinrntUl
to Their Existence.
A tish just taken from the water, if
handled, is found to be slippery and
coated with slifne. All tlshcs, the
meanest and the noblest, killitish and
shark, shad, salmon and trout, wear
this slime. They could not exist with
out It.
The slime is secreted usually In a
continuous series of ducts, with numer
ous openings arranged In a line extend
ing along the side of the tish. Some
fishes have one line on a side, some
have five or six. The lines may be
plainly visible, and in some cases ap
pear to be a marking on the fish. More
often they are not observable at all.
Some fishes store tills secretion In pores
distributed over the whole surface of
the body, the larger number, however,
in pores in lateral lines. There are
also pores for the secretion of mucus,
or slime, in the fish’s head.
The slime is exuded through the di
visions between the scales to the outer
part of the body, over which it spreads,
forming a sort of outer skin or cover
ing. transparent and having elasticity
and tenacity and often considerable
body. It would not be remarkable for
a fair sized fish, say a fish of two
pounds weight, to have a coating of
slime a thirty-second of an inch In
thickness. Fishes vary greatly In the
amount of slime which they secrete.
The eel will suggest itself as one that
Is very slimy.
The- fish’s slimy coating reduces Its
friction when In motion and helps to
Increase its speed. It aids In protect
ing the scales from injury, being of
sufficient substance to serve In some
measure as a cushion. The slimy
covering makes the fish hard to hold
and so enables it the more readily to
escape from its enemies, it Is some-
; times repugnant to other fishes, which
I are repelled by its odor. It Is the slime
; from the fishes handled that makes the
! angler “smell fishy," us the expression
| goes.
i A most important function of the
fish’s slimy coating Is to protect It
from the attacks of fungus, a form of
plant life found in all waters, salt and
fresh, including the purest. The slime
covers the entire exterior surfuco of
the fish, including the fins. Fungus
does not uttuch to the slime, but if the
fish were to bo injured so that there
was upon it some spot uncovered by
the slime upon that spot some minute
fragment of fungus, so small us to be
scurcely more thun visible, would be
likely to lodge. Once lodged tho fun
gus is reproduced very fast.
Fish sometimes recover from at
tacks of fungus, but much more often
they do not. The fungus displaces the
skin, intlnmmntlon is set up, and the
place attacked becomes practically a
sore. With Its continued growth the
fungus may cover the side of the fish
and extend over the gills and finally
kill It.

LAPLANDER STYLES.
Vker Haven't Chnntrrd An?
l.aNt Tlinuxuiid Year*.
There Is one corner in the world
where the fashions of the people have
remained the same for the last thou
sand years. The Lapp lady Is not con
cerned about the latest toipie from
Paris nor is she subject to that soul
harrowing experience, the bargain
counter crush. However, she may
properly lay claim to having been the
original bloomer girl, for the nether
garment worn by her today is of the
same design as that worn by her an
cestors of a thousand years ago.
The summer garment of the Lapland
er is usually of coarse woolen goods
and has something the cut of a shirt
with a high collar. Among the sea
Lapps it Is for the most part undyed.
Among the other Lapps usually blue,
sometimes green or brown and even
black smock frocks have been seen.
Pound the waistbands, along the
seam In the back and on the edges this
smock Is ornamented with strips of
red and yellow cloth. Fntler this gar
ment is a similar one. either plain or
figured, worn next to the body, for the
Lapp never wears linen underclothing.
Tho trousers are of white woolen
goods, rather narrow and reaching to
tho ankles, where they are tied Inside
the shoes with long slender shoestrings.
Over these drawers are usually worn
leggings of thin, tanned skins, reach
ing from the ankles to the knees.
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
tills the upper curving tip of his shoes
with a sort of grass, which is gathered
in summer and beaten to make It soft
and pliable. The winter costume only
differs from that worn in summer In
that every piece Is made of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock is somewhat longer and Is
ipade without the big standing collar,
instead of which a kerchief or cap Is
worn about the nook. To the woven
and often silver ornamented girdle
hang a knife, scissors, key, needle and
thread. The head covering is not only
different In the two sexes, but also
differs according to (he locality.

TRAINING DOGS.
Poodlex the P.nalrm to Teach, Onehi-
III) mix (lie Most Difficult.
A poodle is the easiest of all to train,
and the dachshund Is the most difficult,
the latter not because he Is too stupid,
but because lie is too smart. A dachs
hund readily understands what you
want him to do, and he can do It, but
he thinks lie knows a better way, and
he Invariably tries his way first. As
a result, he is never trained in any- '
thing that Is really difficult. A dachs
hund seems to lie always linking fnn
nt one and getting no little amusement
out of it for himself. Collies are easily
trained, but they are more or less un
reliable. and they are such flatterers.
They make you think things are all
right and t^ien they run away at the
very first opportunity. In preference
to other dogs, collies are trained al
most exclusively In the militia of Vi
enna for carrying. In time of war, mes
sages and medicine to and from the
camp and the sick soldiers, but they
ore chosen more for their speed than
their faithfulness. Fox terriers are
natural acrobats. Within a few weeks
one can be trained to turn a somer
sault. A few weeks more and lie will
do a double turn. To teach him to do
this the trainer calls (lie animal to him,
and as he comes jumping playfully
against the trainer he Is caught and
turned quickly In the air, much to Ills
surprise, lie thinks It Is play, and he
comes jumping up again. After each
turn lie Is given a small piece of meat.
In a few weeks lie will run up and try
Independently to do the turn over In

FIRST CARRlAdi,
How n Minister Cease is
Why He IsM It.
The Rev. Francis Winter was a na
tive of Boston and a graduate of Har
vard college. He went to Bnth early in
1707 and, after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church, was Invited
to settle, which invitation he accepted.
He was ordained in the autumn of the
same year, lie went to Hath on horse
back In company with Lemuel Stnn-
dlsh. Mr. Winter came from Boston, ;
where he had associated with such em
inent men as Adams, Otis and Warren, |
himself becoming an ardent patriot,
taking the lead in the Revolutionary
measures adopted in Hath during that
memorable period.
Mr. Winter married Miss Abigail Al
lien In 1708. and It is through her that
the Winters of today trace their an
cestry back to tho -"Puritan Malden of
Plymouth."
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back. but Mrs. Winter boon mo so fa
tigued that Mr. Winter sold one of the
horses for a carriage and harness. It
was tin* first carriage that ever came
Into Maine and was called a chaise.
Traveling was so difficult that two lie
groes were employed to accompany
them with shovels and axes to clear
the road. Several times the chaise had
to be taken apart and lifted over fallen
trees. The minister's parishioners
thought that It was putting on too
much style for their pastor to ride in a
carriage, and In consequence Mr, Win
ter sold it. This was In 1771. it was a
two wheeled chaise, the body resting
on leather braces, which were attached
to wooden springs. Lewiston .lotirnnl.

John Oxenford was for years the
leading theatrical critic of London.
Mr. Oxenford was troubled with a seri
ous bronchial affection, which occa
sionally disturbed the audience, for ho
refused to give up his beloved theater,
although desperately 111. A certain ris
ing young actor was aery anxious to
obtain Oxcnford's valuable opinion on
Ills work, and the tender hearted old
gentleman literally left his bed nnd
came down to the theater on a bitter
cohl night to do a good notion to a
clever youngster. In the middle of one
of the actor's finest scenes on came tho
cough from tin* Oxenford box. It con
tinued so long that It unnerved the
actor, and lie came to a dead stop. To
the surprise of everybody he ndvancetl
to the front and said. "Ladies and gen
tlemen. I am sorry to say that unless
the old gentleman with the Irritating
cough retires temporarily from, the
theater 1 really cannot go on. 1 forget
everything, it is painful so to address
you, but I am powerless In the matter
and place myself in your liundn."
The disturbance at once ceased, and
the box was empty. When the cur
tain fell a friend rushed around and.
breathless, said to the distressed actor:
“Ho you know what you have done?
Do you know who it was that you turn
ed out of the box?" “I neither know
nor care." was the reply. “Why, It
was John Oxenford-!" The actor was
paralyzed, but lie got Ills good notice all
the Milan. The veteran critic went
home coughing to praise the young
actor who lunl turned him out.
