1t is not considered impolite when a
woman comes late into church on Sun
day, if two or three men are already
seated in the pew she enters, for them
to move quiet y along and make place
for her at the head of the pew. instead
OF rising and Ostentatiously filing into
the aisle. kicking over foOtstouls and
stepping on each others heels. to allow
her to pass to the farthest sitting in the
pew. The old custom yet prevails in too
many churches. 1t is ii relic Of the past
ages, when the men of the congregation
were momentariIy liable to be called to
take up arms againt their crafty foes,
the Indians. and it was important that
the men should sit where they could the
most quickly answer to the summons

A Few Words to Feeble and
Delicate Women.

By II. V. Pierce, NJ. D., Of the " orils
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y
Knowing that you are subject to q
great amount of suffering, tina, delicacy
on your part has q strong tendency to
prolong, and the longer i, Is neglected
the more you have to endure and the
more difficult Of cure your case becomes,
/, AS . physician, who IS daily consult.
ed by scores Of your sex, desire 10 say
to you, that l am constantly meeting
with those who have been treated for
their ailment for months without being
benefited IN the least, until they have
become perfectly discouraged and have
almost made up their minds never Ia
take another dose of medicine, nor be
tortured by any further treatment They
had rather die and have their suiferings
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 anything more dlscour-
aging We certainly cannot conceive, and
were there no more successful modes of
treating such difficulties than that, the
princiles Of which teach the reducing
system, when the indications dictate a
treatment directly the reverse of the one
adopted for them, their cases would be
depiorabe indeed. But lady sufferers.
there is better and far more successful
plan of treatment for you; one more IN
hrrmony with the laws and requirements
OF your system A hash irritating caus
tic treatment and strong medicines will
never cure you. Ii you would use IA
tional means, such as common sen sc
should dictate to every Intelligent lady
take such medicines as embody the very
best invigorating tonics and nerylnes,
compounded with special reference to
your delicate system. Such a happy
combination you will find in my Favor
lie Prescription which has received the
loudest praise from thousands Of your
sex. Those languid tiresome sensations
causing you TO feel scarcely able to be
on your feet or ascend flight Of stairs,
that continual drain that is sapping
from your system all your former elias
ITCHY, and driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon your
vital forces that renders you irritable
and frettul, may all be overcome and
subdued by a persevering use of that
marvellous remedy. Irregularities and
distractions to the proper workings of
your So stems are relieved by this mild
and safe means, while periodical pains,
the existence Of which is sure indica
ton Of serious disease that should not
be neglected, readily yield to it, and il
its use is kept up for reasonable length
of time the special cause Of the pains j.
permanently removed. Further light
on these subjects may be obtained from
