He paused a moment, watching the dazzling scene. Here were diners repreâ€" senting nearly every large city of the world. Some were giving the dinner for the sake of their fair guests, and some were dining selfishly for the dinner alone. There were lovely women in satin and gorgeous gems, with conscious halfâ€"grown upnderâ€"graduates up from Harvard and Yale. A company promoter with blatant laugh was entertaining & possible subscriber, and next to them, all ‘ aware of the attention she was attractâ€"| ing, was a famous prima donna of the musie halls, whose blonde beauty was alone well worth the two dollars one paid to see and hear ner. Edgerton half turned to give his hat to the man at the door, and then he brought himself abruptly to a halt. For there, not five paces away, sat the girl of Paris, of BRaden, of the Kaserâ€"Withelm.

Diphtheria is a widespread which is perhaps more prevalent towns than in country districts. Diphtheria is a widespread discase, which is perhaps more prevalent in large towns than in country districts. It is to be classed among the infectious fevers, and it cersainly is one of the most fre quently met with among children, but adults are by no means exempt. The real cause of the disease is now known to be a minute germ somewhat resemâ€" bling a rod in shape when seen under a very high magnifying power. This germ causes severe inflammation ‘of the lining membrane of the throat, nose, ey@, OT indeed, any part of the body with which it com@ in contact. It has als‘t: h 1 411000 000 M audans . Rbcnliinintcanr es tande retrny s the special power of forming a tough and very adherent membrane. It is this membrane whwich causes 80 much of the danger connected with the disease, as it blocks up the windpipe and so prevents the natural ingress and egress of air to and from the chest. Thee germ of diphtheria is exceedingly diffiâ€" cult to destroy. It is therefore very virâ€" ulent, and no ordinary disinfectant has the power of completely exterminating it. This. fact must carefully be borne in mind, as on it depends the great imâ€" portance of exercising the most strinâ€" gent measures with regard to disinfecâ€" tion, both during the course of and after recovery from an attack of diphtheria.â€" The Scotsman.

The reason is plainâ€"close confinement _ in overheatâ€" | ed, impertectly ventilated homes and work places, have clogged the blood with impurities. The liver is sluggish; the kidneys fail to perform their work properly. The impure blood is shown in a score of ways. You may only feel a little tired, or easily depressed, but these are mere symptoms from which imore serious trouble wil follow. . In other cases impure blood makes itself manifest in pimples and disfiguring erupâ€" | tions, occasional headaches, a variable appetite, attacks or indigestion or rheuâ€" matism, pains in the back and loins. But whatever the trouble, there is only one sure way to get rid of it, and that is through the rich, red, new blood which comes from the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. Every pill you take makes new, rich blood, braces the nerves, overcomes all weakness, drives the germs of disâ€" ease from the body and gives yOu vim and energy to resist the torrid heat of the coming _ summer.
