Nevins Prostration

It is now a well established fact in medical science that nervousness is due to impure blood. Therefore the true Way to cure nervousness is by purify- ing and enriching the blood. The great blood purifier is Hood’s Sarsa parilla. Read this letter:

“Yor the last two yoars I have been « great sufferer with nervous prostration

and palpitation of the heart. I was weak in my limbs and had smothered sensa-

tions. At last my physician advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla which I did, and I am happy to say that I am now

strong and well. Iam still using Hood’s

Sarsaparilla and would not be without it. I recommend it to all who are suffering with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart.’”” Mrs, Dauron, 56 Alice St., Toronto, Ontario. Get Hood’ 8, because

CORRECT WAY TO RUN.

NOT ANY EXCUSE FOR GETTING WINDED.

Captain Raoul’s Studies of Running Ivstec

by the Soldiers of France.

Many people are fond of outdoor ex- ercise whose lack of time or money pro- hibits their joining the vast f cyclists. Those who cannot go wheel- ing may comfort themselves with the thought that since the days of antiquity walking has been among the most healthful as well as the cheapest of all recreations. Yet few persons stand how to walk properly, and cer tainly among women it is a lost art.

The people who live in mountainous countries, it has been neticed, walk in a manner quite different from those who dwell where the country is level. The mountaineer’s body is bent somewhat forward and he seems to drag one foot after the other, like a wearied soldie1 after a long day’s march. But his stride is longer, his step surer, and it is easy to see that he can readily leave an ordi- ary walker far behind. Those whe walk in this fashion are able to ran long distances without fatigue, with their bodies inclined forward and their legs somewhat bent. ‘l'o the casual ob-

under-

server it seems as if their equilibrium was continually on the point of being lost and that they would fall face downward.

Yet this method of walking is univer- sal among all peoples of the globe whe go much a-foot, from the Africa to the runners of Japan and the Indians of the West.

A French captain of artillery named Raoul has made an exhaustive study of the various styles of walking to ascer- tain the one best adapted to the army on long marches. He found plenty of young fellows of considerable endurance who could march with great rapidity for a considerable distance, but would then go to pieces. The trouble seemed to be that the lungs and heart gave out before the legs.

A runner puts forth an enormous force. He must lift his own weight from the ground three or four times pet second, which amounts to the develop- ment of one-third of one horse- power. Such exertion is a severe tax of the lungs and heart.

The conclusion of Capt. Raoul wags that the runner should at no time lose his point of support upon the ground ; that he should run without springing through the air, as it were, and with- outone foot leaving the earth until the other is firmly planted; that the gait shaild be practically a walking run, Stringely enough, this is exactly the method that instinct and experience have taught as the best one to those whese only method of making long and rapid journeys is afoot. It has been estimated that in this way less than half the usual amount of energy is ex- pended,

“T can take any man between twent ¥ and sixty vears of age, in good health.” says Capt. Raoui, ‘‘and ina little while he will be able to run as long as his legs will carry him without his feeling the least discomfort in his respiration. Some men I hi ave seen who were ps Ar ticularly apt were able at the first trial toeasilv get over about seven miles, whileinthe ordinary way they could not comfortably have run more than about two-thirds of a mile.”

Capt. Raoul’s method, briefly stated, isas follows: The upper part of the body should be held straight, the head well in air and the shoulders thrown back sothat the breath comes easily.

savages of

jof the

The elbows should extend a little back hips. Commence with short steps say a foot in length, raising the feet ‘ust sufficiently to clear any irreg- ularities in the surface of the ground. The upper part of the body should be inclined forward as much as possible, so as to make it necessary to run or walk rapidly to keep from losing equi- librium. Plant the feet firmly yet with the suppleness and agility of a cat. In other words, one should seem to run after hiscenter of gravity. which threat- ens continually to fall foiward. The first exercises should not be hurried, but the speed and distance traversed in- creasal gradually.

The utility of this method was put to

So excelient were the results that other bodies of men were trained in the same lwey: One of the soldiers, after a course of training, accomplished nearly twelve and a half miles without a sin- gle step in two hours, and at the end of his route was not the least out of breath.

*T think it is time for me to be go- ng.”

‘Don't say so,” said Rubinstein ; “stay a bit longer, it is so nice to talk to you.

Sullivan remained, went on rocking himself and smoking into the small hours, when he at length got up and said:

“TI must really be off now; I think we have chatted long enough.”

Counterteits

A few years ago agreat discovery was made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treaynent.

Some of the methods adopted Ly ors are as fullows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell them by count.

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney’ in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best. And ought not to be the subject for any trick.

So beware.

Tt is like tempting Providence for con sumptives to ignore the remarkable rem- edy known as Miller’s Emulsion of Nor- wegian Cod Liver Oi'. For any person to die of consumption without trying this remarkable flesh and blood maker, after knowing of its existence, is suicide pure and simple. All that the consumptive patient needs is new blood with which to battle against the destructive forces of the disease, Millei’s Emulsion provides new blood in abundance. It is a combination of Norwegian Oil and hypophosphites of lime and soda—a triumph of science. Miller’s Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Scrofula and all Lung affections. In big bottles, 50c. and $1, at all drug stozes.

Strength and good health restored.

Iwas subject to frequent attacks of nervousness that seemed to sap all my vitality and left me in a state of weak- ness and misery. I could not relish food and such a thing as a good night’s rest was unkgown. ncapable of any exer- tion and with an ever present tired and despondent feeling. Medicines that I took did not do any good ; of gradually becoming w eaker and weak- er. Hearing of Scott’ s Sarsaparilla and its success with similar cases to mine, I used it, and from the first few doses began to get better, appetite returned, got natural and refreshing sleep. I grew stronger, in fact life seemed to be fanned into activity,—Lottie Graham, 174 Craw- ford Street, Toronto.

his lifeto the labor of reading for and writing the ‘‘Decline and Fall.” It is

one of the most stupendous literary feats ever accomplished by the one man.

Johnson commonly required three or feur months for the composition ofa drama. He generally revised it after the rehears: als had begun, adding here and taking away there as his judgment and fancy dictated.

Emerson is reported often to have spent from six months to a year in the composition of one or two short essays. His object was the condensation of the greatest possible thought into the few- est number of words.

Congreve would prepare a drama for the stage in a week or ten days, though fouror five times of this period was given fio the work reyision and re- construction after the play had been given to the actors.

Irving wrote the first 120 pages of 169 jracebridge Hal)” in ten days; the **Alhambra” was mostly written dur- ing the three months he spent in that palace ; his ‘Life of George Washing- ton” required nearly five years.

Scoti is said to have written ** Waver- ley” in less than six weeks. He wrote very rapidly, seldom revised, and, as a consecuence, his novels are full of blunders, inaccuracies and anachron- isms.

George Eliot is said to have written **Middlemarch” in four months. Some doubt is thrown upon thisstatement by the fact that she commonly worked slowly, writing with great care and deliberation and making few erasures after her work was done.

Crucen labored nineteen years on his concordance to the Bible, and immedi- atelv after its publication was sent toa lunatic asylum. He never entirely re- covered from the mental disease induc- ed by this gigantic undertaking.

Burns committed his poems to mem- ory as he composed them, and when he sat down to write he had before him no labor cf composition but only the task of writing down what he had already tinished.

Dickens says in the introduction of “David Copperfield” that he spent two years in the composition of that novel. He did not usually require so long a time, many of his novels being finished inless than a year, and most of his shorter stories ina few days.

Froude passed seven years in collect- ing materials and in writing his history of England. He was very careful in the selection of data, and spent whole days in tie effort to verify a single fact or citation.

Bancroft devoted nearly thirty years to his history of the United States, which is nota history of the United States at all, since it ends where the history of the country Had the work been continued on the same scale down to the present 75 or 80 volumes would have been required.

A Raft of Rats Drawn by Fire.

“Tt isan indisputable fact that tire will draw fats,” said Louis Simonds, of St. Louis. ‘‘During a recent big fire near the river bank in St. Louis a fire brigade acted the part of Pied Piper of Hamelin, and, with the assistance of the flames, drove out of their hiding places into the Mississippi as many rats as did the mythological masician. While che water was lighted by the reflection of the conflagration, a black mass was seen floating toward the east shore ef the river. This proved to be some thousands of rats.

‘They were neaded by their chiefs tain, an extraordinary large black fel- low, and finding their quarters attack- ed by the flames had taken to the river for self-preservation. The current carried them a considerable distance out of their and during their passage some hundreds of them were drowned. Spectators on the made bets on the race, but they all declared off, because, on the Illinvis side, there was no landing place handy for the iatigued rats,and as far as could be seen, with the exception of the stronger fellows, the whole bunch perished in the river.”
