Very Poor Economy.

Some people make business of cheat
ing themselves, either by eating very
mean and cheap food, or else by eating
too small a quantity of good food.
Either way is as bad policy as it would
be to buy q coffin instead of suit of good
clothes, just because the coffin would cost
less. Poor diet means impoverished
blood; and that means misery. Browns
Iron Bitters enriches the blood, gives it
the iron it needs, and tones up the whole
system. Cures dyspepsia, indigestion,
weakness, malaria, etc.

Never retire to sleep with the
stomach empty. If unaccustomed
to eating just before going to bed,
begin with but a mouthful or two,
increasing until hearty meal OF
plain substantial food can be easily
digested. Slumber will be sounder
and more restful-the waking be
accompanied by better appetite
for the morning meal, if the stom-
ach has been properly occupied
during the hours OF sleep. All un-
trained animal nature, including
humanity in its infancy, requires a
full stomach to induce proper
sleep. To dispense with this natu-
raj requirement is an acquired
habit which it were better to break
than to observe. These conclu-
sions are the result of practical
study and practice.

"Why should a red COW give

discussion in an Arkansas literary
society. After an hours earn est
debate, the Secretary was instruct
ed to milk COW and bring in de-
cision. according 10 the merits OF
the milk. 1t was blue.-Ex.
The above result was natural; but
instead of being accepted as fnnl,
it merely opens the way for further
investigation. And the question
now resolves itself into this:
"Why should red COW give blue
milk"
We answer: Because it does not
receive proper food and attention.
Feed COW we'll aud you will get
rich milk; feed her sparingly, and
you will get very ordinary quail
ity; but if you compel her to "board
herself" in the woods and swan os,
your red cow will give blue milk
every time.

Neuralgia OF the Face:

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him Of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman g. Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than Z month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner, 90 Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia Of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard Of From morning to night and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, Is
we'll as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.
