In III these complaints the system evidently

deficient in rcl corpusclea, and the known prop
crty Of iron to correct tets condition, theory sug-
Gcst5 it as the most to be relied on, he 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 flinty root, which has been in secret use by
some old midwiyes for many years, possessing
magic powers IN regulating and restoring all fe-
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 Ditters. 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 tho lengfH
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 mcnstruation, 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
pearancc, attended with other distressing symp-
toms. LeuccorrhTa, or the "Whites," fr%oatient-
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
wonb 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 ? Not many.
Is there no combination OF medical agents that
Will come to her rescue? Weanswer, YES.

while The manufacturers kuop they possess no
medical properties whatever. The are so many

do not, nor cannot possibly cure any one.
Beware of these pleasing bittcrs in quart bot
ties, they contain a sting for your vitals, and no
who buys them carries a ''toper's'' grog into his
house. One man who knows nothing about
medicine, says his big bottle is very fancy, cures
all impurities of the blood, makes old men Young,
casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and
numerous other miracles while yet another,
who presumes every man a drunkQrd, proposes
to cure collie, ingrowing nails, yellow fever, heart
disease and love-sick maidcns /! We know they
make no such cures, we know the people at large
are deceived and swindled, and as we desire to

American VS.. English Longevity.

English travellers in the United States have
often depIOred the degeneracy of the Anglo
Saxon stock on this side of the Atlantic. The
body, they have said, loses in stoutness, the
features grow narrow and pinched and the
vitality Of the whole system is diminished.
English editors and political economists have
made many sermon from this text, and have
argued that in two or three centuries the An
glo-Saxon race In this country may become
extinct
Eminent physicians among us have accepted
the truth OF this statement, Oliver Wendell
Holmes among others, and have attributed the
change chiefly to climatic influences, but in
part also to SOCIAL habits. 1t might have been
well, before investigating the cause, to settle
the facts. There can be little doubt of a wide
departure in form and feature from the English
type, but in the matter of health and longevity
the advantage is on our side. So, at least stats-
tics prove, and there is no appeal from their au-
thOrity.
The records of life insurance companies fur
niSh ample and satisfactory data for comparison
The experience of twenty of the most prOmi
nent English and Scotch Companies, compared
with the combined American experience, is as
follows: Starting with ten thousand lives al
the age of ten, the American loss the first year
is IS; the English 70. At twenty, American
loss is 72; English Sc. At forty, American
loss is II; English 81. At sixty, American
loss is 1856; English 1874. At eighty, American
loss is 209 English 1856.
Thus, at every period of life below eighty
years, with the single exception of the second
decade, which is very fatal among us, American
vitality is superior to English. As the mother
country has always prided itself on the robust
ness of its sons, I will be hard to yield the
palm to the so called degenerate Yankees. Bu
Westward the course Of empire takes it way

BEYOND THE PRESENT.

ave measure life by years aud tears" he said:
ave live little then life leaves US dead,
And the long grass grows greenly overhead"
The years pass on, some swiftly and some slow;
Each takes little from red summers glow;
Each gives a little of white winters snow.
For ever more and more they take and add
We lose the things that used to make us glad
We keep but those that make us slow and sad.
Hot tears we'll mp from out the fountain heart;
We wipe them off with proud resentful start:
Alas, our pride heals not their bitter smart!
The eye is but the surface deep and wide
Abides beneath the source of their salt tide;
The HEART must rest ere that full flow be dried
As on its hinges swings the door of Time,
We catch sweet glimpseS of land sublime,
Filled with the gOidenness of Heavens prime.
And One stands up; oh fair and full in sight
With clear true words He calls us day and night
Help us, . God, to see and her Alright
For five see Him, we shall see Thee too;
And il We hear Him, He will tell us true
And till our hands with some Glest work to do.
With clear true words He calls US day and night
Time to Eternity shall make increase;
And smiles shall beautiiy an endless peace.

A Sensation Story Spoiled.

The role enacted by Dick Radford, alias
Lord Hubert AinSley, has been ecir>ed by the
performances Of Fort Edward, y. T.. bonnet
builder Some three years since Miss Gray,
whose humble sign as "milliner" adorns the
front of a Fort Edward building, started sto-
ry to the effect that large legacy had been
left her in England. The statement was be-
heved, and she became the recipient Of no little
attention. Friends and acquantances c0ngratu-
lated her upon her good fortune, and cherished
the hope that they would not be forgotten on
the arrival of her ducats. \ certain VI. d.,
who had at various times bctrirnded her, was
in turn congratulated by his friends, iuasmuch
as he would undoubtedly be rewarded for value
received. The woman still retained her shop,
and continual to conduct herself with such
modest mlrn as to strengthen credcncc in her
| story. Finally the legacy was announced as
amounting to millions Of dollars, and Miss Gray
gave out that it was necessary for her to pro-
coed to England to look after her fortune. The
wife Of the VI. d., alluded to above was Sc
! ectcd as her travelling companion. Sub>e-
quently the hci!c>s announced that the action
Of the English courts had rendered it unncces-
spry for her to proceed abroad Then followed
the statement, which was copied far and near.
that the legacy was from an English nobeman,
who years ago had fallen violently in love with
her little later public curiosity was still
turthCr Whcttcd by the announcement that 1t
was not the nobleman but his father who had
made the boqucst. and week before last the
villagers OF Fort Edward were assured that the
five millions, the first in>taIlmcnt Of the seven
teen millions had been received BY the British
Consul in New York. simultaneously with
the circulation OF this story, Miss Gray disposed
Of her millinery establishment at auction, with
a view, as she said, Of retiring from public life
She then lett for New York, and OH her return

CoNsoLATIoN.-At the funeral services of a
prominent and very worthy citizen of Northern
New York the clergymen followed that very
questionable old fashion of especially address
ing the mourners. In the consolation admins
tered to the widow he said: ''One word to
you, dear woman. Infinitely better for you to
sit and sorrow by such pure and true man $
grave than to have living husband by your
side, false to God and false to his marriage
vows" 9'hat reminds us of the funeral of a
child years ago in that same town, on which
occasion the cergymen offered consolation to
the stricken mother by recalling an incident
that had occurred in his experience. A child
was very sick, and the mother ardently prayed
for its restoration. Her prayer was heard ; the
child grew up, but was, in manhood, hanged
for murder. The clergyman would have this
mourning mother take comfort that perhaps
her child was saved from like fa;e. Such
kind of consolation is at least in wretched TASTE
