This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease of their patients
The country seems to be filed with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression of spirits
with evil forebodings, whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with a bad taste in the mouth
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colored
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, q distressed feeling at the pit OF
the stomach, food affording no nourishment
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time g
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after q
time with eXpectOrdtion, hands and feet cold
and clalnmy at times, general wasting OF
the body. In such cases we need remedy
that Will act upon the liver, kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such remedy it affords relief. The

A Telling Plea.

Gentlemen of the jury" he said, on
yesterday afternoon, "my client is ac-
cused of having torn this rack from the
wall of the humble dwelling which she
rented, intending to injure the wall
hook upon it, gentlemen" (Here the
attorney, with a grand gesture, drew
from under the table Il strip of inch
board, with two broken hat-hooks at
tached to it, and nails driven in the
place, which more hat-hooks should have
occupied.) "Gaze upon it, gentlemen of
the jury, gaze upon it and then turn
your eyes upon my client. Closing my

at eve in the happy dream of innocent
childhood. Isee her the pet of his mis-
tress and the plaything of her generous
master. Years fly-speeding on their
course and bearing on their wings good

grown. A lovely maiden appears to my
vision. Though 4 slave, yet is she beau
tiful as the first early glancings of the
morning sun-coy, modest, and beloved.
Anon she is wife. l see her handling
on her knee the fruit of virtuous love.
A home grows up around her, and the
matron's grace adds new beauty to her
charms. Here is a picture of peace, joy,
and contentment. A dark and somber
cloud fits athwart the sun-laden land
scape of life. War, hideous, blasting,
desolating war, blows his breath upon
the scene, and all is changed. Years of
blood and carnage go this way and
bring changes. Sheth was the Joyous

A Grateful Chieagoan.

on Sunday last, Mr. Moody told the fol-
lowing anecdote: There was a nice
Christian in my Chicago church-one
of those men who made you feel good
if YOU looked at him, and made you feel
better if you spoke to him. He was the
most grateful man | ever knew. He al
ways had something that he wanted to
thank God for particularly. Well, one
morning he cut his finger-cut it pretty

in some way to return praise for it, but

How She Had Her Picture Taken.

Her "yOung man went West some
months ago, and is diligently growing
up with the country. To exhibit his
progress, in his last letter he sent on
his picture. She supposed she was in
duty bound to return him one of herself,
so She persuaded her dad to bring her in
yesterday and have the likeness struck
off" They went into Atlanta's best
gallery, on Whitehall Street, and the
old man, who had taken several drinks
of enthusiasm in the cause, remarked
to the artist:
"Look 'ere, Mr. Picturesquer, I've
brought our Julie up hyar to hav' her
fack similar tux for her boz what's in
Texas. The ole DOMAINS primped her
up fifteen to give young colt the blind
staggers. She's my brag gal, you bet
your scopes on it! an we want to hav'
a big tin pictur' of her made that'll cost
nine cents postage to kerry it, or we
don't want none at ALL"
All right, my dear sir; have seats!"
replied the polite photographer.
While the artist prepared the work,
Julia redisposed her crimps and worked
her face up into a gorgeous smile.
"All ready! Let us seat you here,
MISS" said the artist.
"All aboard, Julie; plump right down
in that parlor cheer in front o. the little
hat rack, and mind yer don't blink
onect.' ordered the old man.
"There! That's right! No, face a
little to the right-look right here! Still,
now!n
The cloth was removed, and just then
Julie thought chow alfred sweet she'd
look in pictur'," and despite herself,
the corners of her mouth tried to climb
up her cheek bones. The artist turned
and closed the camera, entered his clos
ct, but soon returned without any pic
ture.
"Whar's the pictur'-gimme a squint!
Lor,' julie, wish yer granny war alive
ter see one of yer picturgrafs!"
The picture is spoiled, I regret to
say. The young lady smiled just at the
wrong moment" explained the artist.
"Thar, now, julie; dye hear that?
Jist flop yerse'f down thar agin, will ye?
Try her agin, mister-take another view.
I'm bound ter hev tibet pictur or bust
sumthin'!'
81 couldn't help it, pap; it felt so
funny, it did," Julie simpered.
Z" Felt funny, Ell? Well, yer won't feel
so funny, reckin, eff | take tibet spilled
pictur' and post it to yer teller, with
yer mouth rUnnin' round yer face like 4

julie pumped down in Il chair, at the
