Thousands of females suffer from Arrangements peculiar to the sex. First, and most common among these is FEMALE WEAKNESS or WHITES, or LEucoRRnEA with it's constant attendants, LAS sITUDE REGISTRATION, LAME or WEAK BACK, and GENERAL DEBILITY. No one can be entirely well who thus suffers. and in hundreds of cases health is utterly undermined. Old-sehool medi- cines and drugs do but little good-niten much injuIy; but HUMPHREYS SPECIFIC HOMEO- PATiIC FEMALE PILLS are just the thing, re- lirvins promptly, and curing perman ntly.

HORSE HAY RAKE.

N INVENTED by George Whtcomb of Portches- A ter, N. Y. Assignor to himself and to Ell. bert White Of Stamford, Conn.
 Tie above rake is designed for hay raking and cleaning grain fields. As cleaner after the era dle in the wheat field, it will pay its cost in g single days use, and has often done it. By me ans of several holes in the arms, the rake head may be elevated little, so the teeth will pass lightly oyer just above the surface of the ground.
 For hay-raking, having been thoroughly test ed in every val iety of field, and in all kinds o1 glass it is offered in entire confidence to farmer and dealers. In tho department of Agricultural Implements. it is inferior to none aS iaGor sa- wing machine. It is operated with ease by lad twelve or fourteen years of age-ls remarkably simple in its construction and will easily rake 20 acres per day. It can be worked with small expense. as boy or infirm man comfortably seated, with feet upon the treadles, can easily operate it. It makes omusemenn of hay raking, as boys delight to use it. and work it more read- lily than man.
 The Rake-Heal is attached in such a manner to act partial coun'e poss, and assists in el vating the teeth as the hay is discharged, and also serves to prevent the casual rising of the teeth from the ground, at the same time allow ing them to conform to the Irregularities of the ground this with the elasticity of the teeth, th'cs it to pass over stones asll other obsta e.. Horse rakcs with metallic spring tecth, ,cehom wheel have been long ill use, and have an swered useful purpose; but to use them is hard work, and they plough into light porous ground as the weight rests upon the teeth, and collect dirt dust and stones. But the Whitcomb Rake lightly over and places the hay in winross, aethom eo'apressing. like the Revolver in good condition for curing and pitching; it works equally well in rough, uneven, on smooth ground.
 The Rake Head is dcsignedly placed near thc axle otherwise it would not lake clean on rough ground. The Rake is the result of study and re- pcatcd experiments, and its success is not prob lematical, as it is rapidly superceding all other kinds where it is introduced; like other ma chimes it requires q little practice in using.
