PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRowN's IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it viii
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Flannel Dresses.

White, cadet blue, olive and black are
the desirable colors for sheer flannel
dresses that will be worn all summer at
the seaside and mountains. The white
flannel dresses are only suitable for
morning wear, but those of colors will
be used for travelling. The princesse
effect, with panier sash and plated
skirt, prevails for young ladies' creamy
white flannel dresses, and to these are
sometimes added Byron collars. square
cuffs and pockets, of velvet, but as
these dresses must be- cleansed often,
the Hercules braid in many rows on the
skirt, with frogs on the cuirass waist
will be better trimming. A snugly
fitted hunting jacket well belted in,
braid to match in color, and skirt like
that just described, is the design for
black and colored dresses of flannel. =

4 Moman's Warning.

The Lowell Courier reports q recent
lecture of Mrs Mary A Livermore, in
which the speaker said
"a prominent cause of the degener.
acy Of woman is the COMPRISING OF their
chests by the use o, corsets. They are
not necessary to a good figure; what
artist would choose a corseted female
for a model? They are not necessary
for support. Indeed, they are destruct.
i've Of those very means upon which a
woman should depend to uphold her
body. The female form is provided
with muscles exactly simi ar TO those
of the male, but in the former those
muscles are not developed, they are
weakened, compressed, until in q
woman forty years of age, who has al
ways worn c9rse;s. the waist muscles
have entirely disappeared, and the
woman is absolutely obligel to depend
upon the artificial means 20 support her
body. This practice also interferes
with digestion. and with the operation
of the lungs"
Mrs. Livermore also discountenanced
the support of clothing upon the hips,
and the use of small peg-heelcd shoes.
The latter occasion permanent injury to
the muscles and incurable lameness in
many CAGES.

In paths of peace and virtue
Always the good remain;
And sorrow shall not stay with them,
Nor long access of pain;
At meeting or at parting,
joys to their bosom strike,
For good to good is friendly,
And Virtue loves her like.
The great Sun goes his journey
by their strong truth impelled.;
by their pure lives and penances
Is earth itself upheld
of all which live or shall live
Upon its hills and fields,
Pure hearts are the protectors,
For Virtue saves and shields.
Never are noble spirits
Poor while their like survive;
Without request these render,
without return they give.
Never is lost or wasted
The goodness of tho good
Never against mercy,
Against right, 1t stood;
And seeing this, that Virtue
Is always friend of all,
The VirtuOus and Pure hearted
Men their " Protectors" call.

.Hr Dor u do
Women are especially valuable in the
treasury service, many of them rising to
the proficiency of experts. This is espe-
cially true of them as rapid and accurate
counters, as ~restorers Of mutilated cur
.rency, and as counterfeit detectors. A
man will examine a note systematically,
and deduce logically from the engrav-
ing, blurred vignette, or indistinct sigma
,ure, that it is a counterfeit, and be
wrong four cases out of ten. A woman
picks up a note, looks at it in a desul-
tory fashion of her own, and says:
That's counterfeit" "WhyP" Because
1t is" she says promptly, and she is
right in eleven cases out of twelve. Yet
this almost unerring accuracy is by no
means the result of mere instinct or al
hap-hazard chance, 1t is the sequence Of
subtle perception, of fine. keen vision.
and of exquisite sensitiveness of touch.
A naturally quick m will in time

OlilhIeins.

Chilblains are always susceptible OF
relief, and generally of cure. The treat
ment consists of putting them in water,
morning and evening. Perhaps while
the suffering is greatest it may be much
more frequently done, say once IN two
or three hours. The feet are always to
be gently and thoroughly rubbed lyhile
in the water. The temperature of the
water is always to be determined by the
feeling in the feet. If cold, the water
should be cold; when they burn, the
water should be hot. But the great
secret of cure is to be found in wearing
soft woollen stockings which are changed
for fresh ones every day, and wearing
shoes with soles so broad that not the
slightest pressure is made upon the af-
tfected parts. Arctic ovorshoes should
be worn when the temperature is low, so
that the feet shall never become cold.
This treatment will never fail to relieve
at once, and is certain finally to effect a
complete cure.
