Gregory & Co. 43t2 New surgical instruments operated by electric motors are coming into use. The most wonderful is an electric saw. which cuts through bone and tissue with lightning speed. The machine has already found an extensive use in large hospitals, and has proved of value in severe operations, where the shock attending the use of the slower acting handsaw would have frequently proved fatal to the patient.

Persons who suffer from indigestion cannot expect to live long, because they cannot eat the food required to nourish the body and the products of the undigested foods they do eat poison the blood. It is important to cure indigestion as soon as possible, and the best method of doing this is to use the preparation known as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and restores all the digestive organs to perfect health. Smith. Yager & Falk. ts There is one corner of Central America that is at present a perfect paradise for men who have committed any crime. It is a place where the outcasts of the world’s society rule the land of their adoption, and where the officials of the government protect all thieves that come to them and make it dangerous for any detective to molest them. This is the republic of Honduras, one of the least advanced of the states in South and Central America. A prominent Chicago woman speaks. Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, vicepresipent Illinois Woman’s Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says: “I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia, I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse aud the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at once. lam now entirely recovered, saved a doctor’s bill, time aud suffering, and I will never be without this splendid medicine again.” For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The superintendent of the free delivery system of the United States postal department, has decided that rural mail boxes, when put up with the approval of the postmaster general, come under the protection of the postal laws the same as any other mail boxes.
