- A DANGEROUS EMEYY.
We cannot too earnestly urge the neces
sity of using the new VitalizingTreatment
of Urs. Starkey & jraien, nuy uiraru
street, Philadelphia, in the very com
mencement of Jf ulmonary trouble ana De
fore the disease has made any serious in
roads upon the system and reduced its
power to contend with so dangerous an
enemy. Too many of the cases which
come to them are of long standing, and
the. chances for a radical and permanent
cure just so far remote. That their Treat
ment benefits or cures so large a propor
tion of these cases is often as much a
surprise to themselves as to their patients.
If your cough i3 becoming troublesome,
if you are beginning to lose flesh and
strength, and have night-sweats, don't
wait a day before sending to Drs. Starkey
& Palen for such documents and reports
of cases as will enable you to understand
the nature and action of their new 'lreat-
ment. Take your enemy in time, and tne
chances are all in favor of your dislodging
him.
All orders for the Compound Oxygen
Home Treatment directed to H. E. Math
ews, 606 Montgomery Street, San Fran
cisco, will be filled on the same terms as if
sent directly to us in Philadelphia.

THE STAGE-DEIVEE'S ST0SY.
How General Scott's life was Saved
and How His Driver Twice
Escaped Death.
The traveler of the present day, as he is
hurried along by the lightning express, in
its buffet cars and palace sleepers, seldom
reverts in thought to the time when the
stage coach and packet were the only
means of communication between distant
points. It is rare that one of the real old
time stage drivers is met with now-a-days ,
and when the writer recently ran across
Fayette Haskell, of Lockport, N. Y., he
felt like a bibliographer over the discovery
of some rare volume of "forgotten lore."
Mr. Haskell, although one of the pioneers
in stage driving (he formerly ran from
Lewiston to Niagara Falls and Buffalo), is
hale and hearty and bids fair to live for
many years. The strange stories of his early
adventures would fill a volume. At one
time when going down a mountain near
Lewiston with no less a personage than
General Scott as a passenger, the brakes
gave way and the coach came on the heels
of the wheel horses. The only remedy was
to whip the leaders to a gallop. Gaining
additional momentum with each revolu
tion of the wheels the coach swayed and
pitched down the mountain side and into
the streets of Lewiston. Straight ahead
at the foot of the steep hill flowed the Ni
agara river, towards which the four horses
dashed apparently to certain death. Yet
the firm hand never relaxed, its hold nor
the clear brain its conception of what
must be done ia the emergency. On
dashed the horses until the narrow dock
was reached on the river bank, when by a
masterly exhibition of nerve and daring,
tne coach was turned in scarce its ow n
length and the horses brought to a stand
still before the pale lookers-on could re
alize What had occurred. A purse was
raised by General Scott and presented to
Mr. Haskell with high compliments for
his skill and bravery.
'Notwithstanding all his strength and
his robust constitution the strain of con
tinuous work and exposure proved too
much for Mr. Haskell's constitution. The
constant jolting of the coach and the ne
cessarily cramped position in which he
was obliged to sit. contributed to this end,
and at times he was obliged to abandon
driving altogether.
- Speaking of this period he said:
"I found it almost impossible to sleep at
night; my appetite left me entirely and I
had a tired feeling which I never knew
before and could not account for."
- "Did you give up driving entirely?"
-"No. I tried to keep up, but it was only
with the greatest eltort. This state of
things continued for nearly twenty years
until last October when I went all to
pieces."
"In what way?"
"Oh, I doubled all up; could not walk
without a CTJie and was incapable of any
ellort or exertion, i had a constant desire
to urinate both day and night and al
though I felt like passing a gallon every
ten minutes only a tew drops could escape
and they thick with sediment. Finally it
ceased to now entirely and l thought death
was very near.
"What did you do then?"
"What I should have done long before
listen to my wife. Under her advice I be
gan a new treatment."
"And with what result?"
"Wonderful. It unstopped the closed
passages and what was still more wonder
ful regulated the flow. The'sediment van
ished; my appetite returned and I am now
well and good for twenty more years
wholly through the aid of Warner's Safe
Cure that has done wonders for me as
well as many others.
Mr. Haskell's experience is repeated
every day in the lives of thousands of
American men and women. An unknown
evil is undermining the existence of an
innumerable number who do not realize
the danger they are in until health has
entirely departed and death perhaps
stares tnem in tne lace. To neglect such
important matters is like drifting in the
current ot JNiagara above the Falls.

REPORTS OF GOVERNMENT CHEMISTS
As to Purity and Wholesoineness of the lioyal Baking: Powder.
" I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in th"e
open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream
of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or
phosphates, or other injurious substances. j E. G. Love, Ph.D."
" It is a scientific f acWhat the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
" I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in
the market. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub
stance. Henry Morton, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology."
" I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which
it is composed are pure and wholesome. S-Dana Hayes, State Assayer, Mass."
t
The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at
the Vienna world's Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at the
American Institufe, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni
versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of
Health all over the world.
Note The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking
Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler.
A pound can of each powder wa3 taken, the total leavening power or volume in
each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by
Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound
more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant
age of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any
fair minded person of these facts. -
While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree
of strength than other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indicat
ing that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength,
are to be avoided as dangerous.
