FRANCES WILLARD HOSPITAL
USES PE-RU-NA FOR CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
-
The Frances Willard Hospital, Chicago, 111.
Miss Georgiana Dean was for three
years missionary in Liberia under the
M. E. Church from the training -school
in Chicago. After her return she stud-
ied nursing, graduating from the pres-
ent Frances E. Willard National Tem-
perance Hospital of Chicago. She is an
enthusiastic friend of Pe-ru-na, as is
evident from the following letter:
Chicago, 111., Jan. 20, 1899.
Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co.. Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen—You will be glad to
know of the happy results obtained
from the use of Pe-ru-na among the
patients under my care whenever pre-
scribed by the ph ’’cian. I have seen
some very remarkable cures of cases
of very obstinate catarrh of the stom-
ach, where Pe-ru-na was the only med-
icine used. I consider it a reliable
medicine. GEORGIANA QEAN.
The symptoms of catarrhal dyspepsia
are: Coated tongue, pain or heavy
feeling in the stomach, belching of gas,
dizzy head, sometimes headache, de-
spondent feelings, loss of appetite, pal-
pitation of the heart and irregularity
of the bowels.

General Manager Underwood of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has is-
sued the following general notice to
station agents and trainmen: “Your
especial attention is directed to the
treatment of patrons by employes of
the company. Complaints have been
made from various sources of discour-
tesy to freight and passenger patrons
on the part of our agents, or then-
representatives, at several of our sta-
tions, and also inattention of conduct-
ors and brakemen to properly care for
the comfort of passengers. There
should be no cause for such com-
plaints. It is a part of your duty to
see that our patrons are treated at all
times with politiness and courtesy, not
only by yourself but by employes un-
der your charge. One of the valuable
assets of a railroad company is uni-
form politeness and courtesy *”om all
of its employes to its patrons, and
this capital must not be encroached
upon. It is proper for you to under-
stand that advancement does not de-
pend wholly on your efficiency, but in
other directions also, and will be
measured in a great degree by the
treatment accorded to patrons.”

By means of a photograph, made
with a vibrating lens, scientists have
calculated the time of lightning flash.
It comes out one-nineteenth of a sec-

the multiple image in the photographs
and the rate of vibration of the lens.
The time applies, of course, only to
the particular flash that was photo-
graphed.

A ful old lady in good health!
Mrs. Mollie Barber, St. James, Mo., writes: “I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound during change of
life, and have passed through that
critical period safely. I suffered for
years with falling of the womb and
female weakness. At times could
hardly stand on my feet, also had
leucorrhoea. I tried several good
doctors, but instead of getting better, grew worse all the
time. A friend advised me to try Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound.
I did so and after taking six bottles, was cured of both
leucorrhoea and falling of womb. I am now enjoying good
, At, health and feel very grateful for
the good your medicine has
done me. I would recommend
it to all women suffering as I
was.”
Mrs. N. E. Lacey,
Pearl, La., writes:
“Ihave had leucorrhoea
for about twenty years,
falling of womb by spells
for ten years, and my
bladder was affected, had
backache a great deal.
I tried a number of
doctors. They would re-
lieve me fox a little
while, then I would be
•worse than ever. I
then thought I would

Vegetable Compound.
Eleven bottles of Com-
pound and one box of
Liver Pills cured me
and I am now sound
and well. It helped me through the change of life period. I
am fifty-five years old.”
The women of advanced years who are healthy and happy
are invariably those who have known how to secure help
when they needed it. Mrs. Pinkham will advise any woman
free of charge who writes about her health. Her address is,

A wild duck killed by a farmer,
brought in and sold on tlie streets, was
dressed in the restaurant of French’s
saloon a few days ago, when a fish
measuring twelve and one-half inches
long was found in its inside, as perfect
as if swallowed only a short. time be-
fore the duck was shot. It had gone
down tail first, and while the head was
in the duck’s craw, the tail was at the
extreme end of the bowel. But what
bothered those who saw it was how a
fish three and one-half inches wide
could go down the duck’s throat when
its throat apparenty was not large
enough to admit of the passage of
one an inch wide. The fish was of the
tooth herring or “smpjack” variety,
but what family the duck belonged to
no one seemed to know.—Frankfort

Reginald de Ivoven was born in Mid-
dltown, Conn., April 3, 1859. He en-
tered St. John’s college, Oxford,’in 1879
and was graduated with high honors.
He studied music under many of the
best teachers abroad, and, returning
home, began composing songs. His
first opera, “The Begum,” was pro-
duced in 1S87, and since then he has
produced quite a number, among them
being “Don Quixote,” “Robin Hood.”
‘“The Fencing Master,” “The Alger-
ians” and “The Tzigane.”
People feel their corns ache and
their bones rheumatic when rainy
weather is at hand because of the
dampness of the atmosphere upon the
body, and causes a temporary disturb-
ance of the system. All general dis-
turtaances of the body manifest them-
selves in those parts which are in a
morbid state—as in a corn, a rheuma-
tic bone or a decayed tooth.

liberal ever made.
