LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.

1 have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in Of female irreguarity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases il never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
ers, indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emi-
nent physicians in France and England, as we'll
as in my own practice, over ten yeais, and have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure.

ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over 100,
000 bottles have been sold the past year, and
hope aQd trust as many sufferers have been bene-
fitted. | am we'll aware teat remedy so potent
to remove all obstruetiers, may be used for a bad
purpose. but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used, may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers. ..-.z. ..-.. ass s..#.t .-..-.--- e. =

1.-THE Press objects to anybodys throwing
dirt at Thad. Stevens and Charles Sumner" So
says the gallant young Colonel who uses the

The Press objects to no such thing. 1t only
objected to certain Republican editors doing so
1t would prefer that Copperheads should fling
at the devoted heads of these statesmen all the
dirt at their command. It's their vocation to
throw dirt at their betters. "We," says the gal

question triumphantly, as follows;
At our meeting on Tuesday 1878 votes were
thrown. For the loan 1878, against the loan,
1875 Two thirds of 1878 votes are 1852, which
would have carried the meas ure. But there
were 1878 precisely 96 over and above what
were needed. 1t does not look particularly "ab-
surd" to say SO, which we did then and do now,
and put oursef upon that portion OF the coun-
try where the analysis Of Colburn's Arithme-
tic is familiarity understood.
Suppose the whole 1773 votes had been TOR
the loan, and there had been none against it,
according to the Stars rule the majority would
have been no larger than it was! To our weak
comprehension, it does not follow, because two
thirds of all the votes cast must be in favor of
the loan in order to carry it, that the majority
is only the excess above the two-thirds Sup
pose there had been 81 votes less for the loan
one more than the Stare admitted majority
would the loan have been defeated? Would
there not still have been majority for the
loan? .rF a.I.. - ..l. Il Dr. s..r.. ri.' iH
