A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.

BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., of the WORLDS
DIsPENsARY, Buffalo, N. Y.
Knowing that you are subject to great
amount Of suffering that delicacy on your
part has n strong tendency to prolong, and
the longer it is neglected the more you have
to endure and the more difficult of cure your
case becomes, |, as physician, who is daily
consulted by scores OF your sex, desire to say
to you that ] am constantly meeting with
those who have been treated for their ailments
for months without being benefited in the
least, until they have become perfectly dis
couraged and have almost made up their
minds never TO take another dose of medicine
nor be tortured by any further treatment
They had rather die and have their sutferings
ended than to live and suffer as they have
They say they are worn out by suffering and
are only made worse by treatment. Of any
thing more discouraging we certainly cannot
conceive, and We're there no more successful
mode of treating such difficulties than that
the principles of which teach the reducing
and depicting of the vital forces of the system,
when the indications dictate a treatment di-
rectly the reverse Of the one adopted for
them, their cases would be deplorable
indeed. But, lady sufferers, there is a
better and far more successful plan of treat
ment for you; more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system.
and strong medicines viii never cure you. If
YOU would use rational means, such as COM
mon sense would dictate TO every in
telligent lady, take such medicines as embody
the very best invigorating tonics and nervines,
compounded with special reference to your
delicate system, Such happy combination
you will find in my Favorite Prescription,
which has received the loudest praise from
thousands Of your sex. Those languid, tire.
some sensations, causing you to feel scarcely
able to be ON your feet or ascend a flight OF
stairs, that continual drain that is sapping
from your systems all your former elasticity
and driving the bloom from your checks; that
continual strain upon your vital forces that

overcome and subdued by a persevering use
of that marvellous remedy. Irregularities and
distractions of the proper workings of your
systems are relieved by this mild and safe
means, while periodical pains, the existence
of which is sure indication of serious dis
ease that should not be neglected, readily
yield TO II, and II its use is kept up for rea.
sonable length of time the special cause OF
these pains Is permanently removed. Further

Plaster as a Manure.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Maine Farmer
writes: There seems to be little doubt
but that plaster, or, as it is called by
chemists, sulphate of lime, is on some
soils an efficient and cheap manure !;
while on other soils it seems to be of lit
tie or no value, as no difference can be
detected in the crops following its use
Now in order to tell the soil on which it
will pay to use it is a question that we
shall have to decide for ourselves, for l
am not aware that any man can tell by
looking at the soil where it will pay to
use it, or where it will not pay There
fore, if we would know for certainty it
is best to try small quantities on differ
ent parts of the field, either by sowing on
grass lands as a top.dressing or by using
as manure for field crops in different
ways, and the answer that you may get
will likely be true one. After you have
found where it will pay, then use 1t liber-
ally, and it may be well to say here that
if the crops are all consumed upon the
farm there need be no fears of running
your farm by using plaster in judicious
manner.

Remedy for Bites of Mad Animals.

THE Norristown (Pa.) Independent says:
" In 1919, one Valentine Kittcring Of
Dauphin County, communicated to the
Senate of Pennsylvania a sure remedy
for the bite of any mad animal He
said that his ancestors had used it in
Germany $50 years ago, and that he al
ways found IL to answer the purpose dur
ing residence of fifty years in the
United States. He only publishes it from
a motive of humanity. This remedy
consists in the weed called chick-weed.
1t is summer plant, known to the Ger
mans and Swiss by the names of gduch-
nell rOther mayor, or TOth6r huebnerddyTR.
In England it is called red pimpernel,
and its botanical name is An9elicdl pho
niced. 1t must be gathered in June, when
in full bloom, dried in the shade, and
then pulverized. The dose of this for n
grown person is small teaspoonful, or
in weight dram and scruple at once, in
beer or water. For children the dose is
the same, yet it must be administered at
three different times. In applying, it
must be used green, cut into pieces, and
mixed with bran or other feed. For
hogs the pulverized weed is made into
little balls by mixing it with flour and
water. 1t can also be put on bread and
butter, or in honey, molasses, etc. The
Rev. Muhlenberg said that in Germany
thirty grains of this powder are given
four times day, the first day, then once
q day for the whole week; while at the
same time the wound is washed out with
a decoction Of the weed and the powder
strewed in it. Mr. Kittering said that hC
in all instances administered but onC
dose, with the most happy results Thi!
is said to be the same remedy through
which the late DR.. William Stoy effected
so many Cures.N

AConarmed Grumbler.

Some time ago there lived in Ed
inburgh well known grumbler,
whom we will call Sandy Black,
whose frequent fits of spleen pro
duced some amusing scenes Of
senseless irritability, relished by |
all except the brute's good, patient |
little wife. One morning Sandy
arose bent on a quarrel; the fish
and eggs were excellent, done to a
turn, and breakfast passed without
a cause for complaint.
"What will you have for dinner,
Sandy 7" said Mrs. Black.
"A chicken, madam" said the
husband.
Roast or boiled ?" asked his wife.
"Confound it, madam, if you had
been good and considerate wife
YOU would have known before this
what | liked"
Sandy growled out, and, slamming
the door behind him, left he house.
The dinner time came, and San
dy sat down 10 the table. The
fish was eaten in silence, and, on
raising the cover of the dish before
him, in towering passion he cal
led out:
"Boiled chicken! ! hate it, mad,
am \ chicken boiled is q chicken

Immediately his wife raised Z
cover from another chicken, roasted

Madam won't eat roast chick

how il should have been cooked :"
At the instant broilei chicken,
with mushrooms was placed on the
table.

the grumblcr.

Black.
How dare you spend my money
in that way -

wife.
