STANTON!
THE COMING LECTURER.
Marietta. Ohio, Register.

Marietta, Ohio, Register.
From those who heard Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton last Friday evening, We hear
but one expression-that of admiration Of
the woman. Though many dissent from
some Of her opinions. none deny the force
of her argument. The subject vas "Our
Girls" and it was mainly our girls to whom
she addressed herself but our boys and all
others as we'll, found something Of deep in
terest in her talk.
Her doctrine is that physical and mental
development are necessary to beauty and
happiness, and much depends upon the phys
ical. The picture she drew Of the physical
debility Of women was one We are all famil-
lar with. Her cure for it is healthful dresa
and exercise. Her prescription for beau y
ia health, and for health, obedience to the
laws Of nature.
Mrs. Stanton is q charming old lady, and
points to herself IA illustrating her doctrine.
Past sixty-one, and hair white. she looks the
picture Of health and honorable old age.
She ia the mother of seven children, and has
been a hard worker all her life, and yet il
able to travel every day and speak every
night. Friday she was on the road all day,
went from the cars to the hall, spoke over
two hours, did not lie down till after eleven,
and pulled out at five the next morning.
Few commercial travellers can stand what
she does. 1t was the bes, lecture, for society,
We ever heard in Marietta. Every one
should hear it.
Mrs. Stanton will lecture in Yankton en-
Tuesday evening next, at the Congregational
church, upon the subject Of "Our Gir!s.'
Admission, fifty cents; reserved seats, sew
enty-tive cents.

AN ASTONISHING FACT.

A large proportion Of the American peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects Of Dys.
pepsia or disordered liver. The result Of
these diseases upon the masses Of intelligent
and valuable people is most alarming, max.
ing life actually a burden instead Of a pleas
ant existence Of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice Of
Druggists and your friends, and try one bot
tie Of Green's August Flower. Yourspeedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles Of this
medicine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gi.ts on the Western Continent. Sold by
Mills d Purdy.

ny ACCO

AYERS CATHART1c PILLS are the best Of
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and sue.
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac-
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most efFectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable 10 harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery Of life. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs. of the digestive ap.
psratus, arrangements Of which they
prevent and cure. if timely taken. They
are tho best and ssfcss phYsic to employ
for children and weakened con, ,itu,ions,
where a mild, hut eHsctusi. ea,hattir IL
