Within two days, in theclties of Chicago and Indianapolis, two lives have been sacrificed to anesthetics given by surgeons while preparing to perform an operation. One was a prominent woman of Indianapolis about to undergo a very minor operation, but who -sank away almost from the first after chloroform was given. Another was a man in Chicago, and the most disgraceful feature In this case was that the surgeons and operators did not know that the man was dead when the operating table was wheeled from the room. - This seems to be a newly dcyeloped danger in the application of the knife, and the worst of it is that.it seems to betoken a lamentable amount of ignorance or carelessness 00 the part of the physicians.

Foes and Allies. Life in in great danger when threatened by foes that have allies in the very elements; when attracted by them, it is a struggle for existence. Among these foes at this time of j the year are the grip, pneumonia and diphtheria. At tbe risk of telling our readers what they may already know, we will say that as a guard against these foes, these diseases prevalent now, Hood's Sarsaparilla is entitled to the greatest confidence. It builds up and fortifies the whole system. "If Yo's Only htten." Prof. Thwing, of Western Reserve university, says football is a perfectly safe game, provided the players on both of the opposing sides are well trained, physically perfect, and able to stand up under all sorts of rough play. Which reminds us of tbe hard; headed negro's declaration that there was no danger in being hit on the head with a ball bat, if yo's only fitten." What's In a Name. Everything ia in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. u. DeWitts & Co,, of Chicago, discovered some years ago, how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is i. specific for Piles. For Blind, bleeding, itching and protruding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin diseases De Witt's Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits. Ask for De Witt's the genuine. J. W. Hess.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last f ew jears was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it alo-' cal disease and prescribed local remedies and ;by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires coDStiiutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only coostituut'onal cure on the market. It is taken internally in doeea from 10 drops to a teaspoonfal.
