TREATING WRONG DISEASE Many times women call on their family physicians sutlcring, as they irnagIne, on^from dyspepsia, another from j heart disease, another from .iver or kidney disease, another from nervous 1 exhaustion orprostratior, another with pain here and there, and in this way thay all present alike to themselves and the easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only Symptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suttering, encourages biaprac tice until large bills aie made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse l y reason of the delay, wrong treatment and conseauent. complications. A proper medicine lUe Dr. Pierco's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling nil those distn-erii g symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a rtiaebhc known is bail cirrd " Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful phj'Bican and adapted to woman's delicate Byatem. It is made of uative medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. Qot Another Copy.

The Exeluslveness of Casta. An English officer who some years i ago was wounded in a battle in India i aud left lying all night among the na- ( i tire dead and wonnded tells this story: i "Next morning we spied a man and an j ' old woman, who came to us with a ; i basket and a pot of water, and to every wounded man she gave a piece 1 of Joaree breadvfrom the basket and a ' i drink from her water pot. To ns she - gave the same, and 1 thanked heaven and her. But (he Soobabdar was a high caste Rajput, aud. as this woman was a Cbumar. or of ths. lowest " caste, he would receive neither water 1 nor bread from ber. 1 tried to per- . > sunde him to take It that he might , live, but be said that in our state, with ■ but a few hours more to Unger, what 1 was a little more or less suffering to 1 us— why should he give up his fate for' such an object? No; he preferred i to die unpolluted." Ths Origin of Oxygen. That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin ' ' maintained -hat oil the oxygen In the atmosphere probably originated from : ihc action of sunlight upon plants. When our earth was a globe of hot ' liquid It contained no vegetable fuel J and probably no free oxygen. But as ' It cooled off plains apix-arcd od Its ' surface, and these begau to evolve oxygen through the- medium of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus derived we depend for the maintenance ' of life fay breathing. When we burn I coal or other vegetable fuel we use up oxygen, and It Is to plants again that we owe the restoration of the oxygen thus lost to the air. if they failed to keep up a sufficient supply the atmosphere would gradually part with its oxygen, and the Inhabitants of the , 1 earth would disappear In consequence ! | of aspbyxlatioD.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Bulletin JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is | j no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those inland seas which i | form the border line between the United States and Canada. And j June is one of the most charming months in the year in which to ! take the trip. For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial ocean j greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view in daylight the mostjfl distinctive sights of the lakes, and the scenery which frames them. | The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake ■ St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer through ' * the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the Portage Entry, I lake? and canal, across the upper end of Michigan are novel and f interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the steamships juniata. Tionesta and Octorara, make stops at Erie. Cleveland. Detroit, Mackinic Island, the Soo, Marqnette, Houghe ton and Hancock, and Dnlnth. 1 The iqio season opened on May 31, when the Steamer B Tionests. made her first sailing from Buffalo, t The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high standard set by the "Standard Railroad of America." n An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers, £ rates of fare, and other information is in cours.' of preparation. * and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book passengers who may ' desire ho take this trip through the Greet Lakes and beck.
