WEEDS
Consumption is a man
weed flourishing best i eak
lungs. Like other we it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes im-
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear. -
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt 'pork
is good too, but it is very` hard
to digest.
The time to treat consunlpe
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
tion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat-
ment you will win.
Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment. and
that's the best treatment.

1O SHARKS KE LY BITE ?
Some Emile to Show Th t They Do

been made necessary by a ahark Be,
In which the entire lose of the eft
log and p quantity ed muscular d
.other tissue of the thigh was
roved, 'eating the tgwer ex.tseml
Li tlto femur exposed.
The man .was, at the time et the
accident, swimming with a firing
party which had encamped about
three miles from Iloilo ; tide parl,4

of tho v. S. 8. Auuapolls. Similar
tiring parties are regularly taken

drill and exercise in /swimming.

while swimming near the boat, he
rvddenlr felt himself dragged under
water by ensue powerful force. Not
realizing ,what It was, his first im-
pulse was to resist and swirl to the
sur:ace. lie then felt a terrible
crunching at his left knee. but he
states that, owing no doubt to the
excitranent, he did not think of pain
or ceperlenee any. %a Unexpectedly
aa tho onset, he felt himself released,
and then he imam with all his re-
maining wtrength W the boat. some

understood that his leg was gone.
but dauntlessly keret up hie one and

stile. He was honied aboard, and his
compat11one, by pressure on the
femoral artery, temporarily con-
trolled the hemorrhage.
The patient was rowed In this
condition a dietnnco of ahoat two
miles to the ship, and 1000 after
his arrival the surgeon amputated.
The next case occurred In :he
middle of October, 1,01. A 56aluewa

This shark' that Mt Deblois was
caught by the other flskier m111

eye witnesses, In addition to which
there were prints of tenth that
proved their statements. i men-
