DIR. j. BRADFIELD'S
Female Regulator
WOman's Best Friend.

1t is well known to physicians, and alas
too well known to suffering women them
selves, that they are subject to numerous
diseases peculiar to their sex, such as sus.
pension Of the Menses, painful and scanty
Menstruation, liberation and Failing of the
Womb, attended with an endless train Of
sympathetic and constitutional disorders,
which embitters the whole life, and which
have long been considered incurable. Bat
at last the remedy has been found in
DR.. j. Bradfield's Female Regulator.
1t is not "cure all" but remedy for one
class Of diseases, all of which pertain to the
womb.
Any sufferer from the diseases mentioned
can take this remedy and thus relieve her.
self without revealing her condition to any
one, and without subjecting her womanly
modesty to the shock of an examination by
a physician.
TO bring health and happiness to the
homes of suffering women is a mission be-
fore which royal favor sinks into insignh-
canoe. What earthly benefaction can com.
pare with one which protects from
"That dire disease whose ruthless power
Withers beauty's transient flower 7"
which gives ease for pain, JOY for sorrow,
smiles for tears, the rose of gealth for the
pallor of disease, the light. elastic step, for
dragging WEAKNESS, nights of soft repose for
hours of tossing restlessness, bounding vigor
for languishiDg dullness, the sweet lines of
full grown beauty for the sharp and wither-

cal, mental, social and domestic enjoyments
for few sad days of pain and gloom, end

DoNlr EKAYE THE rARAL

Come, boys, Ihsve something to tell YOU
Come near. ! would whisper low :
You ere tliialang Of leaving the homestead
Don't be in hurry to so.
The city has many attractions,
but think Of the vices and sin;
When once In the vortex of fashion
How soon the course downward begins
You talk Of the mines boys
They are wealthy in gold, no doubt;
But, all there is gold in the farm, boys,
II only you'll hoyelit out.
The mercantile trade is hazard -
The goods are first high aud then low.
Better risk the old farm while longer;
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest;
Hbe orchards are loaded to-day;
You're as free as tie air in the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey.
Better Stay on the farm while longer,
Though the profits come in rather slow,
Remember, you've nothing to risk, boys;
Don't be in IA hurry to go.

The relief must be radical. Besides

another blood disease where this extra
ordinary combination of medicine is
the conqueror of the age. Try it il

An In.-grOwn Nail.

Much suffering is due to the corners
of toe.nails growing into the flesh. The
remedy is very simple. 1t is a mistake
to cut the nails short at the sore corn
ers; if the nail is long, cut the upper
edge straight across, leaving the corners
untouched. Then scrape the middle of
the nail, for its whole length, quite
thin. The center of the nail should
be made so thin that slight pressure
upon the corners of the nail will bend
it OF course, the avoidance of tight
boots will suggest itself to all.

The present month, so remarkable
for severe cold and sudden change of
weather, will no doubt be productive
of a vast increase of pulmonary affec-
tions. Many of our immediate circle
of acquaintance and friends have al
ready contracted colds of more or less
serious character, the forerunner if
neglected, of inclpient consumption,
bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma, phthisic,
catarrh, etc., and we have no doubt
that ere another twelvemonth some of
them will have gone to their last rest
ing-place because of inattention TO the
first slight symptoms. There is, how
ever, ready and unfailinL remedy for
these distressing complaints at hand, in
