Female Complaint,

That claims its victims throughout the length
and breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great peril at
the commencement of menstruation, while older
dread its decline at the 'turn OF life" Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, too lit
tie, or may be attended with pain; may be ir-
regular or entirely checked. or changed in ap-
pesrance, attended with other distressing symp-
toms Leucorrhea, or the az hitss," frequently
drains the sy ten, or liberation of the womb
may create pain aud cause rapid prostration-
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly com
mon complaint, giving much trouble and distress
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
Womb and other serioss and fatal complaint
follow the female ses throughout life. Lives
there a medical gentleman who has can re-
heve the fair sex of the above troubles? Not
many. Is there no combination of remedial
agents that will come to her rescue? We an
swer, Yes.

agent was at first greatly astonished at the
sight of so much glittering currency, and in
timated to the gentleman wishing the tickets
that probably he had made a mistake.
The gentleman assured Mr.. Brooks that he
was not mistaken, that he was lifetime
Democrat, and always paid his way in solid
metal Finally, the agent passed out the
desired tickets and received the gold pieces
in payment, giving the latter close in
spection to assure himself that the money
was really the precious stuff represented.

There is a very valuable farm in Harde-
man county Immediately on the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, consisting of the
very best cotton lands of the State. The
farm is well improved, the buildings are
new, having been newly inclosed last year.
There are two mineral springs on the
premises, and fine orchard. 1t is valued
at SO, 900, and is offered at that sum by
drawing, the tickets costing s. each. The
owner Mrs Florence S. V. Davidson, q
worthy lady, and the widow of COnfede-
rate officer, has adopted this method OF
selling the farm. She wasfor eightmonths
a prisoner at Alton, H., during the war,
and has three orphaned children. This
property is all that she possesses and she
desires to convert it into funds that viii
enable her to raise and educate her chill
dren. Mrs. D. is a lady of culture and re-
finemeIt and of the very highest character,
bearing with her letters of Endorsement
from the first citizens Of Memphis who are
well known here. Over half Of the tickets
have been disposed OF, and as soon as the
residue are sold the drawing will take
place Majors NJ. J. Wicks, John P.
Strange and Phil. 7. Allen are the mana
gers of the affair, which is a sufficient
guarantee that it will be fairly conducted.
We trust that every facility will be afforded
the lady in furthering the disposal of the
remaining tickets.
