HONEST PRAISE.

Kickapoo Indian Sagwa Does Good Work in Maine.

Karnest Fnudorsement of Kickapoo Rem- edies from the Extreme North Eastern Section of the United States. Merit Alone Could Have Made These Remedies so Widely known and Universally Indorsed by the People.

MONTICELLO, Aroostook Co., Me. Oct. 16, 1892.

I wish to tell you What your great med- icine Kickapoo In- clan Sagwa, has done for me and my family.

My wife was very sick and had been failing fora long time, and her @ld family yuywician said ghe could not tive.

We tried another doctor, and he told the same story, said she could not live three months. She

John S. White. had been confined to her bed for almost two years and was now almost bed-

fast. The doctor said she had Cone sumption complicatet with Heart Dise ease °nd Liver Trouble, and we were about discouraged.

I then heard ef your remedy and told my wife about it,

She decided to try it, and before she had taken half a bottle she felt better. When she had taken two bottles she was gaining fast, and before the third bottle was fin.

; and my trouble was

and has been a well woman ever since, and her cure isa wonder to all, Some time after this

I was taken sick

get rid. of it. Every

completsly used up, At my wife's sug: gestion I tried Kickapoo Indian Sag- wa again, and after using less than two bottles I considered myself entirely well I think I can say that Sagwa is the best remedy that a family can have. In case of Colds there is nothing bet- ter that I know of than taking a good dose before going to bed, and my wife says she would not think of keeping heuse without! a bottle of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. She says it gaved her life with the help o!

Providence, and I can say that under the |

hand of Almighty Cod I owe my life to the wonderful medicine of all medicines the great gift of nature, Kickapoo In dian Sagwa, and all the world should know of its intrinsic worth. Its value as a family remedy is beyond comparison. ~ JOHN 8. WHITE.

THE VENICE OF THE EAST.

Bangkok, the City of Smelis, Where the Death Rate is Appalling.

Bangkok, the capital of Siam, has been termed very unhappily the Venice {ofthe east. The New York Tribune thinks that perhaps as regards s:nells ; (in which alone there is any comparison between thei) it would have been juster to call Venice the Bangkok of the west. But even tien an

frightful calamities. A weak monsoou

crop. The cool season, November to January, is followed by the terrible hot season, during which never a drop of rain can be looked for. The River Me- nam—‘‘Mother of Water”—polluted by every conceivable and inconceivable

inatter, the rotten corpses of men and carcasses of beasts, is very iow; it is, moreover, tidal at Bangkok, and its pestilential waters, flotsam, are driven back every high tide by the waters of the sea and ren- dered dangerously brackish The stream is the color of soup. Fill the jar and the water with a piece of alum, and in ten minutes it wil beas clear as the purest spring water ; all its suspended matter will have sunk to the bottom into a thick gray stratum. But woe io the stranger mad enough to taste the glassy poison! Let him first say his prayers and then ‘“‘good-by.” If it be considered that the natives drink this fetid liquid without any such precautions as even the clearing alum it may be imagined whata cholera outbre: means, The vultures and pariahs cannot devour the bodies fast enough ; the river cannot carry thein down against thé tide, A truly terrifying picture is that of an eastern city in a cholera epidemic. As a matter of fact, cholera is always an

apathetic native until it be apon him.

Or all outgrown some vanished thought, Back to your mind to make its home,

An interesting exhibit at the National Museum shows the physical ingredients which go to make up the average man weighing 154 pounds. A large glass jar holds the ninety-six pounds of pure water which his body contains, In other receptacles are three pounds of white of

g, & little less than ten pounds of pure giue—without which it would be impos- sible to keep body and soul together— 48} pounds of fat, 8} pounds of phos-

hate of lime, 1 pound of carbonate of ime, 2 ounces of sugar and starch, 7 ounces of fluoride of calcium, 6 ounces of phosphate of magnesia, and a little oxdinuty table salt. Divided up into his primary chemical elements the same man | is found to contain 97 pounds ef oxygen

Calcium, at present market rates is worth $300 an ounce, so that the amount of it contained in an ordinary human body has a money value of $18,300. Few of our fellow-citizens realize that they are worth #0 much intrinsically, — Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Mr. R. L. Allan, of Ottawa, writes: “Having been troubled with weakness of the lunge and general debility the past two years, I concluded to give Putner’s Emulsion a fair trial. I have taken seven bottles, and find my health much improv- ed, my lungs stronger, my weight increas- ed twelve pounds.”
