Horse Shoes Without Nails.

A Yankee by the name of Short has in-
vented horse shoe which requires no nails.
He makes the whole two pieces, employing
In addition, two small screws to aid in screw
ing the parts together. But are made of
mallable iron-the lower portion, or sole
being very similar to the hcrse shoe ordi-
narily employed, but with groove around
It's exterior, and without nail holes. The
upper portion or, 'yamp,' is thin, and has a
fange projecting inward from its lower edge
to match the groovein the sole. The parts
are SO arranged as to secure tight and
firm connection, and the whole is made addi-
tionaily secure by the aid of the set screws
before mentioned at the heel. A shoe of
this kind once fitted the vamp rnay be made
to wear out q great number of soles. Tho
exterior may be highly finished and plated
with silver. which gives very fashy ap-
pearance to team of lively horses, or the
shoes mas be enamelled jet black when in
tended for white or gray animals. One
practical advantage to be derived from this
style of shoes is the facility with which they
can be removed or exchanged, so that a
skillfull hostler may exchange the shoes,
or rather the soles, on every occasion when
the presence of ice or the like renders it
desirable, and it may even be expedieut in
extreme eases of exhaustion, as with race
torses, to remove the shoes altogether for
time, and allow a more refreshing rest.

Nervous and Constitutional Disea-

These pills possess specific actor on the
nervous system, and although they are prepa-
red especially for the purpose Of curing Fits
they will be found of especial benefit to III per-
son afflicted with weak nerves, or whose ner-
vous system has been prostrated or shattered
from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost
impossible TO convey an adequate idea of the
peedy and almost miraculous results which
these pills effect in the diseased, broken down
ir .-arostrated nervous systems. Persons who
were all lassitude, weakness and debility be-
fore their use, at once become robust and full of
energy. No matter whether the constitution
has been broken down by excess, weak by ma
ture, or debiltated by sickness, the,r effect on
the unstrung and shattered nervous organiza-
tion is equally certain and apparent. In cases

STRATLING, BUT TRUss
Warning to Every Sensible Woman
why Females sufrer i'm Health.

No woman of delicaoy is willing to disclose
the peculiar ailments incident to her sex, even
to most intimate family physician.
This modesty and delicacy is implanted by
nature, and neither should nor need be subject
ed to the rude shocks inevitable in making
known to the other sex those ailments belonging
exclusively to the female.
Except in extreme cases, her sensitivenss
will sacrifice her health rather than her delicacy
The consequences are serious, lamentablh
and lifelong.
Thus what at first could have been easily rem
edied, or perhaps better still, not Incurred, be-
comes complication of diseases, not only ru-
ining the health of the mother, and embitterin-
her days by sickness and suffering, but entailing
broken constitutions upon her children, ang
embarrassing, If not distressing, the business and
pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let eve
