Use it in time for all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Skin. It cures Rheumatism, Malaria, Coated Tongue ana Headache, relieves Constipation, Bilious i A Robust Toothache once moved into the molar of a Cbnstiau Healer nud proceeded to make itself at home. The Healer had spent that day, and ao many days preceding it assuring his patients that their sufferings had uo Real Existence, that he had-come to look upon the physical ills of man kind with Lofty Scorn, and W des pise the weakness which acknowl edged Pain. He therefore calmly continued to treat a case of spinal irritation then iu hand, totally disregarding the none too gentle titillatious which were running through his inferior dental nerve. After a time, finding that his tooth ached 'with a fury that refused to be disregarded, ha proceeded to give himself one of his two dollar treat ments, thus: "Evil doth not exist; pain is evil; therefore pain hath no existence; hence there cau be no pain iu my tooth.' At this logical demon3tratou the Robust Toothache smiled grimly, ami gave the dental pulp o bang so power ful that the Christian Healer was un able to suppress a mournful howl, but he heroically preceeded: "Tho pain I seem to feel in my tooth is not an actual existence; it is merel an evil thought brought about oy an operation oi tue lmeueci; j. win nut a cood in its place aud the dis- oomfort conceived by my mind will cease." On hearing this the Robust Tooth ache rolled up his sleeves aud went to work in earnest. It jumped with both feet upon the quivering nerve ends and stamped, kicked, squeezed and tueeed at them with so savage a vigor that when the blear-eyed dawn began to brighten in the east, the Christian Healor, who had spent the night in walking up and down, moan ing and trying to convince himself that it was only a bad idea he was suffering from, was in a thoroughly knocked out condition. The Toothache, with all the f resh uesa of youth, continued to play a stormv fantasia upon his nerve ends. Suddeulyhe seized his hat and coat with a frantic haste. "Where are you going, Edward?" inquired his wife, who wa3 also a metapysioal healer. "I'm going to have this d d tooth pulled out," he said shortly. "J?am has no real existence, re plied his wife, calmly; "you kuow that. Edwad." "Shut up, woman 1" he yelled. "Who's got the toothache, you or me?" and slamming the front door behind him he made a bpe-liue for the nearest dentist F. 11. S. King, in Medical Visitor. Milton Applegate shot himself at his residence in Yoncalla, Or., Sun day at 4 p. m., June 23. He had been drinking heavily of pure alcohol three or four days, and his mind had be come so worked up that he evideutly knew not what he was doing, (ioing into the kitchen, ho told his wife that he would kill himself, and walking into the next room, he deliberately took a Winchester rille containing two cartridges, placed the muzzle against the left side of his head just above the ear, pulled the trigger and the cartridge iustautly sped on its fatal course, coming out at the crown of his head. He fell on the floor aud oxpired without a struggle. The wound was quite small and it re quired close examination to see where the ball came ont at the crown of his head. Mr. Applegate was buried at the Yoncalla cemetery, Monday, June 21, where a large number of relaives and friends attended. Ho leaves a wife and six small children. Ho was the youngest of sixteen children, Charles aud Melinda Applegate being his parents. He was in his 33lh year, was a very large and remarkably stout, healthy man. He had for years been iu the habit of taking drinking spells, and had often ex pressed to friends his intention to kill himself, alleging as a c-iiise that he was a disgrace to his friends by drinking to such excess. When not under the influence of liquor ho was a kind, genial gentleman, a good citi zen, a generous neighbor, a kind husband and father. Drain Echo. DYSPEPSIA.
