It is thus that in all the walks of life and in all occupations, times change and knowl- edge and efficiency increase, In this re- spect medical science has kept pace with the advance in other lines. Physicians and chemists have grown rapidly more skillful.

There are medicinal preparations now-a- days that cur eases that were a few years ago considered absolutely incurable,

The final triumph in this respect is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It was first given to the world thirty years ago, and has stood the test ever since that tme. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred affections. Thousands who were hopeless sufferers, and had been given up by the

“You are an admirable diplomate after’ the knock-me-down Bismarckian school, Mr. Dargan,” said Beaton, leaning back in his chair and eying the little guardian through half-closed lids, “I cannot ad- mire your cynical frankness sufficiently.”

“It’s all very fine talking,” returned Dargan. “But have what you want, and if you awe in earnest you must come to erms.”

After some further fencing, Seaton, who was extremely impatient to finish

the enterprise, he had undertaken, to be legally master of Miss Vivian’s fortune, and to ‘be delivered from his dependent

“Why, I have been here nearly an hour,” cried Beaton, at last looking at his watch, “and it is such a fine day. My time is nearly up. Let us come to some conclusion

“Ah, don't you be too mistrustful: it is a bad sign, my dear young friend.”
