A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women

BY r. v. PIERCE, NJ. D., Of the Worlds Dtspen-
Common Sense Medical Adviser" etc., etc.
Knowing that you are subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your
part has strong tendency to prolong 1t, and
the longer it is neglected the more you have
to endure and the more difficult of cure your
case becomes, I, as physician, who am
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 perfect
ly discouraged and have almost made up
their mind never to take another dose of
medicine, or Re tortured by any further
their sufferings 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 discouraging,
We certainly cannot conceive, and were 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 treatment directly the reverse of
the one adopted for them, their case would
be deplorable indeed. But, lady sufferers,
there is better and far more successful
plan of treatment for you;. one more in har:
your system. A harsh, irritating caustic
treatment and strong medicines will never
cure you. If you would use rational means,
such as common-sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines
as embody the very best invig0rating tonics
and nervines, compounded with special ref
erence to your delicate system. Such hap
by combination you will find in my Favorite
Prescription, which has received the highest
praise from thousands of your sex. Those
1anguid, tiresome sensations, causing you to
feel scarcely able to be on your feet or as
cend fight of stairs; that continual drain
that is sapping from your system all your
former elasticity, and driving the bloom from
your checks; that continual strain upon
your vital forces that renders you irritable
and frctful-may all be overcome and sub
dued by persevering use Of that marvellous
remedy. Irregularities and distractions to
the proper working of your system arc re-
lievcd by this mild and safe means, while
periodical pains, the existence of which is q
sure indication Of serious disease that should
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and il
its use be kept up for reasonable length OF
time, the special cause of these pains Is per-
manently removed. Further light on these
subjects may be obtained from The Peo-
ple's Common Sense Medical ADVISER" in

Cure for Group.

A Kansas lady gives the following cure
for Group, which she vouches for as reli-
able. She has had much experience with
q child always troubled with croup-has
tried hive-syrup, goose grease and scores
of other remedies, and finds the following
better than all:
Take of honey one tablespoonful, pull
verified alum one-half teaspoonful, SALE
ratus one and one-half teaspoonful, and
onehalf the white of an egg. Beat all to
a cream, and give one-fourth teaspoonful
This will be enough to give relief If taken
as soon as the first symptoms of Group
appear, which is q hoarse cough, the hor-
ror of which can be realized only by those
who have heard it, and have watched
night after night with child sick with
Group. If it has become necessary to
vomit the child, give one teaspo,nful, and
if the case is q stubborn one repeat the
dose in half an hour. In an extreme case,
when this remedy has not been applied
soon enough, she recommends to take a
piece Of flannel large enough 10 cover the
throat and lungs we'll, grease it with
fresh lard and wet it with camphor, then
warm it and apply. This will relieve the
hoarse breathing in very few moments.
If given in time NO outward application
will be necessary. g

Destructive Fire at Great Fall
Loss S50,000---Two Persons Burned
to Death.

EXETER, April 5.-One of the most disas
trous fires that ever visited Great Falls occur
red shortly after midnight, resulting in the de
struction of the large four-story building on
High street, owned by Bradstreet D. Hill
Watson's grocery, a two-story building, posi-
office block, Samuel Jamess brick store, and a
dwelling house belonging to Thomas Maston.
The fire originated in Hills block, which has
long been termed "ire-trap." The defect in
chimney in this block evidentlyicaused the
confagration,
The worst snow storm of the winter was pre-
vailing, and the wind was blowing gale, nd
not the buildings been covered with snow, half
the village would have been destroyed.
The saddest part of all was the loss of life.
Mr.. Bradstreet d. Hill and his sister, Mrs.
Cuzzens, recently of Boston, occupied sleeping
rooms in the third story of this block. Mr.
Hill has been confined with illness for long
time. He was seen to raise window, cry for
help and then fall out of sight. Their remains
have not been recovered. The losss is estmat-
ed at $4,000, on which there was an insurance
of $19, 900.
