A Young Man Who Mis?
takenly Believed He
Had Hpart Disease.
He Simply Scared Himself to
Death, for His Heart Was
Sound?What a Pity He Did
Not Take Proper ^dvice 1
A dramatic story is told of a young man
In Chicago who believed he had heart dis?
ease. Ho abstained from exercise and he
avoided excitement. Ho dosed himself iicr
sistently and imagined that only by lending
an invalid's life coidd he hope to keep death
at arm's length. One day lie suddenly met
a woman who had been associated with a
discreditable chapter in his history.
"My God! my heart!" cried the young
man, and ho fell nt her feet stone dead.
An autopsy showed that his heart was
absolutely sound. It was the opinion of
(lit: physicians that lie might have lived to
a ripe old age if he had taken the precau?
tion to consult a competent specialist.
The time when a physician was laughed
at for devoting himself to one brunch of his
profession is past. So broad is the field of
medical knowledge that no one man can
hope to cultivate it all. The seven great
men whose portraits accompany this articles
have earned the. undying gratitude of the
world by their work ns specialists.
Notice that the frame of the pictures is a
"5" preceded by a dollar mark. Five dol?
lars is a great or a small sum, according to
circumstances. One thing is certain : a IIve?
il ollar hill never looks quite so small as when
it is considered as the price of n complete
diagnosis and full treatment by medical
specialists of the highest rank.
Do you think Hie tiling is Impossible?
The Warner Nazaro Medicine Co.. of New
York City, has made it possible. At the bead
of tin-company Is Mr. H. II. Warner, wdio
made himself famous several years ago by the
perfection of a remedy for discuses of tlio
kidneys. ITe hns enlarged tlir sphere of Iiis
usefulness i?y organizing n staff of specialists,
whose services tire placed within the reach
of a vast public who otherwise would have

physicians includes authorities on diseases of
the blood and the nerves ; of the heart, liver

OURFEW FOR WASHINGTON7.
Bell to Warn Congressmen it Ib Time tu
Retire.
%
So Washington, the <-"ty <>f lawmakers,
Is to have the curfew! At the hells
nre to loll, sending to lied all except
tlvse who must be sleepless guarding
tine great nation.
The curfew was flrat known In Eng?
land "as couvre-faii, or "cover the fire."
It was then called the "cover-lire bell,"
and it was a signal to put out the
fires
A hell lolled at evening for the In?
habitants to put out Hies, extinguish
lights and re?tirc to rest. It was Institu?
ted in England by William the Con
nnervir as an arbitrary bit of tyranny.
Thompson tells us:
The shivering wretches at curfew
sound
Dejected sank into their beds.
Previous to l-hat time, however. It was
known in England and on the continent,
and was rung even as far back as tin*
days of King: Alfred. Hut i't was Dhcil
a pleasant summons, cheerfully obey?
ed. It had been m-glected for a r >ng
time until Williams' edict rendered It 1
compulsory to many hundred towns and
villages.
iL has continued 'to toll and still tolls
K?Hlier all the year round or from Sep?
tember to April, from the Isle Of
Wight in th south, through. Kent. Sur
ry. Middlesex. Suffolk, Norfolk. Lincoln.
York, Durham and Northum.fr tiand,
and, in short, all over the kingdom.
When'the Pilgrims and Puritans came
over here Dry brought it to New Eng?
land, where it is still carried out tu
many towns and villages.
In "!'l th tre was a popular uprising in
the seaport town of Portsmouth, N. II.,
when the most) progressive residents
sought lo abolish tie- ringing "of Ihe
Old North Church bell al ? o'clock every
night.
Hut it had rung when George Wash?
ington pass, d the night Sa town a:id
wh r.' Daniel Webster was reading law
cas s in i law olllce obere; and the icild
Inhabitants would not |i t it be silenced
This old bell has sent generali ma to
bed.
In "M the habit started in the West,
at Siillwnter, Minn., and by ISii? twenty
other towns in the State had passed it
Critics in Oregon, Idaho, Washington.
South Dakota. Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan, Missouri, Indiana and Geor
gie have since adopted it
In Minneapolis all under sixteen must
be al homo at n p. m. Nine strokes of
Hie lire bell are sounded and the pen?
alty of disobedience is severe,
In most Western cities the bill Is
rung earlier?from S to 8:30. At Chan
Hie, Kan., it. Is rung at 7 o'clock. The
bell ;u Warrensburg, Mo., penis at
7::t0, giving the children no evening at
nil.
In Topekn it is for children under six?
teen and in Wallace, Idaho, for chil?
dren under fifteen years.
At Pierce, Kan., a unique addition to
tin- curfew makes it, unlawful for a
hoy, when spoken to, to return an un?
civil answer.
The penally as a general thing,
wherever the curfew is adopted, fol?
lows the Minneapolis law. Here the
curfew rings at '.? o'clock, anil any child
found on the street after that time, un?
accompanied by a guardian, will be ar?
rested and taken to parents and eau
lioned- Second offense: Pine 83 p.
$10. or three to tori days in jail, at the
discretion of the magistrate.
An hour later Is allowed to the chil?
dren in summer than in winter, and in
moat towns exceptions ate made i '?
messenger boys, children sent pn er?
rands and newsboys.
Maya- Graham, of Lincoln, says It is
surely n success, for it surely reduces
crime. lie has had a decrease of 75
per cut. in arrests sine. Us adoption
in his city.
Colonel llonglnnd, president .if the
Hoys' and Girls' National Home and
Employment Association, predicts that
Chicago, St. I/0iils, Cincinnati, Phila?
delphia ami Greater New York "will
adopt the curfew at once."

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT HACK PROM tub GRAVJJ.
Last November Mr. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 W. Pearl St., Indianapo?
lis, Intl., was nt death's door with quick
consumption. Wasted to n skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulcerntion; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
iiid family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
lo relieve his terrible cough, gave hiina
bottle of Brazilian Balm, Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr. James soon a/te'r
dismissed his doctor, anil depended
on the Ralm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, anil in February he
returned to work. His ilinga tire sound,
and his weight grenter than nt any time
in Iiis life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
COMMA IIACII.I.U8.
In consumption beware of cough mix?
tures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
ami gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain :t trace of any opiate, but stimu?
lates nie nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lurgs to a.
sound ami healthy state which no. other'
remedy has ever been known to accoin1-'
