was OF the kind known among medical men as
PttngUe Hdepotfdes As 1t enlarged, lgatures were
applied, but 1t still continued to develop Hypoder-
mic injections were resorted to- and chlOrat opates
were freely used. The patient was, in spite of all
that could be done for her relief rapidly losing
strength, and after consultation, an operation was
decided upon.
1t was agreed that this should be me by syme's

The woman never breathed again. Those who had

Mnd'IIe NiIssOn's Fourth Concert.
Madlle Nilsson appeared for the fourth time
in concert last evening at the Academy of Music
and attracted as large an audience as on former
occasions The fine qualities of this singer grow
more apparent upon acquaintance, and the dra-
matte power which she displayed last evening
in the "Miserere" scene from 7roUatore made
her admirers more than ever anxious that she
should appear with all the accessories necessary
for the full display of her dramatic power.
Mad'lle Nilsson is singer of rare aud peculiar
gifts, and it will not be justice to the American
public if she leaves our shores without appear
ing in some of those operate roles in which she
has gained much of her European celebrity.
Tomorrow Mad'lle Nilsson will appear at a
matinee performance, when she will repeat the
mad scene from Hamlet.

A CROSS HUsBAND.-Mrs Smith-The fact is, my

nervous tbat there is no living with him. He pre-
tends ons day that he has got the dyspepsia; the
next day liver complaint; the next is sick, with no
appete-declares that there is nothing the table
1T to eat, and on. 1t is all nonsense and nothing
but his confounded ugliness, From the very bottom
of my heart, believe he wants to worry me to
death.
Lady Friend-Mrs. Smith, think you are wrong
No woman has kinder or more indulgent husband
than you l must confess that l have noticed a
change in Mr.. Smith but inclined to think that
all he wants is tonic; and If were you, would
not be day without PLANTATION BITTERs in the
house. Make him take them moderately three
times day, and in a short time think you will see
change My experience is that Plantation Bitters
is one OF the best and most delicious tonics in the
world; and that for nervousness, loss of appetite,
dyspepsia, and all kindred complaints, there is
nothing so good
SEA Moss FARIEE.-Tnis is a new article OF food,
