DEATH Is AT THE DOOR.

In all these complaints the system evidently
shows u want OF red blood, and Mr.. Churchill,
in his work on Diseases of Females, says
Clearing in mind that the blood is remarkably
deficient in red cOrpusclcs, and the known prop
crty OF iron to correct tets condition, theory sug-
gcsts it NJ the most to be relied on, the best of
which is the Citrate" Citrate of Iron enters
largely into the composition of Female Bitters,
combined with powerful vegetable tonics of rare
qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the pi-
ncy woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard
and tiinty root, which has been in secret use by
some Old midwives for many years, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all Ee-
males suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root we have obtained, gave it fair test in
our practice and ii is now one of the principal
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general tonics also enter into its
composition. We also add Leptandra or Black
root, sufficient to act upon the liver and keep
the bowels open,

FEMALE COMPLAINT,


That claims its VICTIMS throughout the length
and breadth of our land,
Many females suffer in some way Mt each
monthly period some girls are in great peril ut
the commencement of menstruation, while older
ones dread its decline at the "turn of life.''
Sometimes the menstrual flow is too much, or too
little, or may be attended with pain may be
irregular or entirely checked, or changed in APP
pearaucc, attended with other distressing m
toms. Leuccorrhea, or the "Whites, - frequent
ly drains the system, or liberation of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly common
complaint, giving much trouble and distress,
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
womb and other serious and fatal complaints,
follow the female sex throughout life. Lives
there a medical gentleman who has or can relieve
the fair sex of the above troubles 7 Not many.

WESTERN ETIQUETTE.

follows: western people are. death

days ago man was telling one OF
his neighbors,in my hearing, a pretty
large story. Says I Stranger that's a

ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE, II AC-
KNOWLEDGE THE CORN.

This popular phrase, it seems, was
first used in Congress, being remark
made by Hon. Charles A. WicSliffe,
member of Congress from Kentucky.
1t was in acknowledgement of the de-
iuction ofan argument for protection
made by Hon. Andrew Stewart, just
elected to Congress from the West
Moreland District (XXI.) of Pensyl-
vania. Mr.. Stewart was in Congress
when Henry Clay and Daniel Web
ter were there, and advocated pro-
section. He recently made speech,
in which he referred to the fact. At
the same time he related to an incl
dent which gives the origin of the
wel,-anown phrase, 81 acknowledge
he corn"
In 1928 forty-two years ago-this
subject (protection) was before Con-
sress, and we were discussing it. I
was trying to show to the farmers of
he country that they were purchas-
ing foreign agricultural production
in the form of goods, while they left
their own production at home with
out market. I said Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky sent their hay stacks,
corn-feids and fodder to New York
and Philadelphia for sale.
Mr.. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, jumped
up and said:
why, that is absurd. Mr. speaker,
I call the gentleman to order. He is
stating an absurdity. We never send
hay stacks to New York and Phila-
delphia."
"Well" said what do you send p"
"Why horses, mules, cattle, and
hogs"
Well, what makes your horses,
mules, cattle and hogs? Yon feed
hundred dollars worth of hay to a
horse, you just animate and get up to
the top of your hay stack, and ride it
to market. [Laughter.] How is it
with your cattle? You make one of
them carry fifty dollars worth of hay
and grass to the Eastern market"
Then came to the hog question:
Said /: Mr.. Wicklife, you send
hog worth ten dollars to an Eastern
market how much corn does it take
at 33 cents per bushel to fatten it?
"Why, thirty bushels"
"Then You put thirty bushels of
corn into the shape of a hog and
make it walk of to the Eastern mar
ket."
Mr.. Wickliffe jumped up and said ::
" Mr.. Speaker, I acknowledge the
corn" Laughter.]

A WILD romance in St. Louis pa
per comes to'this sad conclusion: SAT
noon she was dying, when the door
bell was savagely rung, the servant
hurried up, three steps at time, en-
tered the room without asking per-
mission, and dropping exhausted i'll
front of her bed, handed her sealed
tin box. The mother rapidly opened
it; it was the chignon. She took it in
her pale hand curl of light brown
hair-the same of which part was
cut and sent to New York as sample
to match the color of the chignon-
hung over the shoulder; she hung the
chignon near the curl, and Whispered,
1t is exactly the shade," and then
she dropped it and was dead.'
