NJ ODERN WOMEN.

IL is a sad commentary upon our
boasted civi lizat:on that the women OF
our tunes have degenerated in health
and physique until they are Ii terally a
race OF invalids--pale, nervous, feeble
and back-achy, with only here and there
a few noble exceptions in the persons OF
the robust, buxom ladies characteristic
of the sex in days gone by. BY a very
large experience, covering a period OF
years, and EN- mbracing the treatment Of
many thousands of cases of those all.
ments peculiar to women, DIR. Pierce, oi
the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y.
has perfected, by the combination OF
certain vegetable extracts, natural
specific, which he does not extol as q
cure-all. but one which admirably fulfills
a singleness OF purpose, being a mos.
positive aud reliable remedy for those
weaknesses and complaints that afiiic.
the women OF the present day. This
natural specific compound is called Dr.
Plerces Favorite Prescription. The
following are ameng those diseases in
which this wonderful medicine has
worked cures as If by magic and with a
certainty never before attained by any
medicines; Weak back, nervous and
general debility, falling and other jis.
placements of internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack of strength in
nataral supports, internal fever, con.
gestion, inflammation aud liberation and
very many other chronic diseases Incl.
dent to women, not proper to mention
here, in which, as we'll as in the cases
that have been enumerated, the Favorite
Prescription effects cures-the marvel of
the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state or condition OF the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may
avoid that severest OF ordeals-the CON
sulting Of a family physician. Favorite
Prescription is sold by dealers in medi.
cines generally.

AMAN BOUND AND GAGGED AND ROBBED OF
S4l50.
Early Monday morning, VIM. J. Handy
an old resident of Annamessix, Somerset
Co, Md, was robbed at his house of Sal 50
IN gold and silver. Theold man is a very
early riser and the four men who robbed
him, must have known his habits, as they
laid ini wait until he came out the door
when they seized him, and made him 60
back and unlock the safe under penalty
OF instant death. They then bound him
gagged his sister. an old lady, in the same
way, took the s4l50 and decamped. He
worked his feet loose, walked over to
VIM. Wright Colturn's and got united
by him and ungagged. They then re-
turned and released his sister. Mr..
Handy was robbed before, about 1853, OF
$4,000. And during the war, another at.
tempt was made to rob him, but the rob-
Der was shot and driven off.

wish TO aud my testimony to the wonderful
curative properties OF your Alt. Ext, or
Golden Medical Discovery. | have taken
great interest in this medicine siuce | first
used it. was badly afflicted with dyspepsia,
liver deranged and an almost perfect pres
trstion of the nervous system. So rapid and
complete did the Discovery effect a cure that
it seemed more like magic and a perfect
wonder to mvSelt, and since that time We
have never been without q bottle of the Dis
cOyerv and Purgat4ve Pellets in the house.
They are solid, sound family physician in
the house and ready at all times to fly to the
relief of siekneSs-wlthOut charge. We have
never had q doctor in the house since We
first began the use of your Pellets and Dis
cOvery. / have recommended the use Of
these medicines in several severe and COM
pIicated eases arising from, as | thought. an
impure state of the blood, and in no one case
have they failed to more than accomplish all
thew are claimed to do. will only mention
one as remarkable, Though / could give yOd
doEeusl Henry Roster, furniture dealer, OF
this place, who was one of the most pititul
objects ever seen, his face swollen out OF
shape, scales and eruptiOns without end, ex'
tending to his body, which was completely
covered with blotcheS and scales. Nothing
that he took Seemeu 10 eheeL IL PaFuCe C.
finally induced him to try few bottles OF
the Golden Medical Discovery, with daily
use of the Pellets, assuring him it would
surely cure him. He commenced its use
some six weeks since, taking two Pellets each
night for a week, then one each night, and
the Discovery as directed. The result is
to dav his skin is perfectly smooth, and the
scalv eruptiOns are gone. He has taken
some seven or eight bottles in all, and con.
siders himself cured. This ease had batfied
the skill Of our best physicians. Messrs,
Duusford 4 Co, druggists, Of this place, are
selling largely of your medicines and the
demand steadily increases, and they give
perfect satisfaction in every case.

"C4RPET-BAGGERS."

The New York Herald thinks there is
no word that has done the southern
states more harm than the word carpet
Dagger. 1t says: Its meaning in the
south is clear enough. 1t is intended to
apply to adventures from the north who
went south after the war for the purpose
of plundering the inhabitants 81 : re
turning home with their plumber. 1t is
regarded in the north as a term Of
reproach, and has had effect of deterriEg
from the southern states thousands -
honest northern men who would have
been glad to go south, on account Of the
climate and the natural richness of the
soil. The Maine citizen may go to Col
orado and California and be welcome. 1t
is no reproach to him that he was born
in the east and votes the republican
ticket. Let him go to Georgia or Caro-
lima, and carry with him his principles,
and his fate is social, personal, political
ostracism. He can assert no indepen-
dence of Judgment without mourning
the worst forms of reproach. Something
of this may be due to the soreness occa-
stoned by the war. But while this was
natural it should not last always. The
word carpet-bagger may serve the pur-
puse of Aippant politician like Mr..
Cox, but it should have no place in our
literature. If we go into the matter
deeply we shall find that we are all
carpet-baggers, with the exception Of
Sitting Bull and his people"
