A MARVELLOUS MACHINE.

The human brain is the most marvellous machine in the world; It occupies less space in proportion to its capabilities than any machine it ever invented. It sends a special nerve to every ultimate fibre'of some five hundred muscles, to many thousand branching twigs of arteries, to every pinhead area of the numerous glands which keep the machiue properly oiled, heated or cooled : to some sixteen square feet of skin, which is the outpost guard of its castle. with sUch completeness that the point' of a. pin cannot find an area unguarded. It possesses special quarters for tho reception and translation of a constant stream of vibrations that are the product of all things movable or still iu the outer world On the retina of the ooen eye is a picture of the outer £iew, a fjocussed imprint of every ray of light and color; and in the visual chamber of the mental palace stands a vibrascope, a magic lantern that receives the retinal picture in its billion speeding series of light waves and throws them upon its mental screen as a living-, moving picture of lMit and shade and color. In the chamber of sound is a vibraphone, over whose active wires passes every wave of sound, from the dripping of the dew v to the orchestral fortissimo, from the raucous screech of the locomotive to the sighing of the wind through the meadow grass. In the chambers set apart for scent and taste and touch are the secret service guards to report upon the air and food which give sustenance to the palace and upon the solid qualities of the tactile world.

You frequently hear of cases of chronic constipation—cases that havo existed for years. In nine cases out of ten the trouble has become chronic through improper treatment. The patient has formed the habit of taking the work of the bowels for them, weakened the bowels that they will not act naturally. Chamberlain's Tablets curs constipation, and cure it permanently, because, instead of doing the work of the bowe.s for them, Chamberlain's Tablets simply stimulate them to perform their own functions.
