It's proved by statistics. although
it seems perhaps hardly probable,
that more deaths and serious acci-
dents annually occur from the use of
burning fluid in the United States
than from steamboat explosions and
railroad accidents combined. Prof.
Silliman says that, if his word were
law, thero should never be another
drop Of it used in the ordinary lamps
now kept in shops and families.

The peculiar maades to which females orc
subject, commonly produce groat bodily ex.
haustion, accompanied by depressed and OF.
ten gloomy stale OF mind. AS the system de-
clines in strength, there is loss OF nervous
power, and this very naturally impairs the eli.

Of the temper. Every candid woman who has
suffered from female complaints will admit this
to be the mourntul truth. Now, to obtain re-

to depletion and debility. This is done by re-
