Of more than Three Millions Of persons who
have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect
health by them, it is believed that their repu-
tation Is the best vegetable medicine now be-

Few people are convcrsant with lhemanuer in
which the blood is created, or that the stomach
with the gastric juices the secretions of the
liver and the action of the lungs arc the chief
agents for converting the food we eat into blood,
hence the great necessity for preserving the
stomach in sound and healthy condition.
Nothing hNs yet been discovered more eiiectual
for this than noloway's famous Pills, which act

The Washington correspondent Of Tie
Springfield Repu6ticdR makes the follow
ing good naiured comments, upon power
in the land which is not provided for IN
the Constitution, but may be said in some
sense TO hold sway even above the Consii-
tuition -
We have for the first time in the his
tory of presidents, presidents wife who
seems 10 be ambitious Of having finger IN
the government pie. Her friends compare
Mrs. Lincoln TO Queen Elizabeth in her
siatesmanlikc tastes and capabilities. She
is by no means simple, domestic woman,
but was evidently intended by nature TO mix
somewhat in politics. That she does 50 is
undeniable. She has ere this made and un-
made the political fortunes OF men. She
is said TO be much in conversation With
cabinet members, and has before now held
correspondence with them on political top
les. Some 90 SO far MS 10 suggest that
the president is indcpted to her for some
Of his ideas and projects. She is very
active woman. Nothing escapes her eye.
She manages the affairs of the White
House Il do not mean State ahairs) with
ability and will see to il that the "old man'
does not return TO Springfield penniltss.
In foreign countries her turn for politics
would not subject her 10 edyersc criticism,
but the American people are so unused TO
these things that il Is not easy for tliein to
like it. Mrs. Douglas was agood deal OF
politician, though she never injured her
husbands position, but rather improved il,
by her social alliances. Miss Lane never
alluded 10 politics, and Mrs. Pierce knew
nothing about them. She was probably
the most supplemented woman that ever
presided at the Presidents table. Tie
simple is not used in n depreciaiiSe sense.
She was a pure-minded, unselfsli, Christ
ian woman, and knew nothing at all ofthe
world
