Some months ago was called to attend a lady OF
Williamsburg, n. Y. who had long been suffering
from troublesome uterine disease. Its presence was
marked by constant vaginal di charge, sometimes
OF watery consistency and sometimes OF epeamy and
muco-puruent. She hal besn un" er treatment for
some time, but constantly grew worse. Vaginal ex-
animation disclosed extensive nduratlon nd ulcer
alton of the cervix uteri. The uterine Inflammation
which was evidently assuming chr onic firm, was
aso aggravated by lone-standng constipation, pal
ptatlon OF the heart night weats cough. poor an
petite, and almost 0aily Paintings. She tainted to
entire lnsensibty during one of my first visits /
commenced, OF course, by such active local u eat
ment as the liberation demanded. and then anplieh
was incoDvenient to her frequently, and except
to mark the healing OF the ulcers the early stages
visited her only every other week. For tonic and
constitutional invigorant Dodd's Nelvine only was
prescribed. 1 had some time before become ac-
quainted with its properties, and knew of nothing
more safe or satisfactory in its probable effects And
the result completely justified my expectation. In
less thar fortnight the bowels had become Tree and
regular in their movements the night sweats disap-
peared, and appetite began to grow The fainting
Spells became less frequent, and soon ceased alto
gether. In another for night there was no more
cough the vaginal discharge was sensibly diminish
ing, sleep was normal and refreshing, and the gen.
eral health decidedly improved. What rema rs is
soon told. The patient continued the use of the
Nervine, land no other mediciue) for some weeks
longer, when my further attendant was not re-
CURED. Since her recovery have seen her but once
She seems perfectly well. Her Joy over restored
health is naturally enough most enthusiastic She
never before had medicine Give her such comfort
and such appette-and such sleep-and such cour-
ase-and such strength. She wouldn't try to keep

Poetry.
Rea R:aiasEo1d,


When will the oueint old story lose its charm?
The story of the little artless maid
Who, all too innocent to dream Of harm,
Met danger unafraid.
FAIR as we fancy angels, and as good,
Who has not seen her in youths fairy land,
Wrapped in her scarlet cloak, and dainty hood,
A basket In her hand?
Who has not followed her. as thus she al Pc
Along her way with careless, HAPPY ieet5
With merry songs upon her rosy lips,
Or laughter gay and sweet?
Intent on ministries of love and eheefI,
Her eager thoughts fly, birh-hkt, on pcloLe
To where the lonely grand-dame waits TO heai
Her light touch at the door.
AGAINST her cunning foe she asks no shield,
Ills spares excite no terror nor surprise;
Alike are shadowy wood and open field,
Beheld with guiieess eyes:
AS on she goes unmlndful of the gloom,
Such heavenly graces all her ways endue,
sTwould seem that flowers beneath her steps Nigh
bloom,
OF beauty strange and new.
Immortal type of innocence and truthi
Long as affections gather round the good,
The jewellers IN the fairy land OF YOUTH
