Fragile Bones.

DR.. W. Blanchard has reported to the
Chicago Medical Society case of girl
whose bones are so brittle that they
break at any slight jar. The patient is
IL years old and has been under DIR.
Blanchard's treatment for sixteen years.
She has been afflicted since her birth.
Over ITO fractures of her bones have
occurred during her life, in ali parts of
the body-ribs, legs, arms and sternum.
The girl weighs about 45 pounds. So
small jar as that occasioned by step
ping from sofa to the floor or stumbling
on the carpet, is sufficient to cause the
breaking of bone. The doctor thinks
that the girls bones consist merely of
hollow shells. The broken bones have
knit together in uncouth shapes, and
the girls limbs are, in consequence,
dreadfully deformed.

An Anomaly.
From the Boston Transcript. !

IRON the OOStOn Transcript
Mrs. Ellen Tray, OF Toledo, gave an
amusing account of her experience in
taking books from library. The rules
requiring each applicant to be Endorsed
by a taxpayer, she and her friend,
being taxpayers, supposed this suf-
cient; but further knowledge Showed
that, as they were women, they did not
meet the requirements. They therefore
went to the door and called in their
colored serving man, who did their err
rands, etc., and then it was all right.
He was man, and she was allowed to
take books out after he had said that he
would be security for their safe return
The trustees afterward apologized for
this, but the incident points out diff
ference between man and woman in the
eyes of the community that does not
often have better illustration, though
It's existence is a fact only two well
realized by all women who have observed
and studied the question.

When in the Wrong Channel

The bile wreaks grievous injury. Headaches,
constipation, pain in the liver and stomach
jaundice, nausea ensue. A few doses of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters will reform these evils and
prevent further injury. 1t is pleasant aperient,
its action upon the bowels being unaccompanied
by gripping. The liver is both regulated and
stimulated by it, and as it is very impolitic to
disregard disorder of that organ, which through
neglect may eliminate in dangerous congestion
and hepatic abscess, the Bitters should be re-
sorted to at an early stage. Failure to do this
renders a contest with the malady more pro-
tracted. Fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder troubles, are remedied by this fine
medicine, and the increasing infrmlties of age
mitigated by it. 1t may be also used in conva-
lescence with advantage as it hastens the restora
ton of yigOr.

SnIendid HOnOrS.

The public should note the fact that
the only proprietary medicine on earth
that ever received the supreme award
OF Gold Medal at the great international
World Fairs, Industrial Expositions and
State Fairs, is st. Jacobs Oil. After
the most thorough and practical tests,
in hospitals and elsewhere, it has uni
versally triumphed over all competitors,
and been proclaimed by Judges and
Jurors, including eminent physicians,
to be the best pain-curing remedy in
existence.

A comparatively large number of the cases
which Drs. Starkey & Palen. of 11O9 Girard

THOSE having the care of the sick
often waken them unintentionally when
making up the fire. Putting up Jumps
of coal with the fingers, one by one,
will avoid this, but is dirty and unpleas-
ant. This difficulty can easily be gotten
over by the simple plan of placing
scoopfuls of coal in small paper bags.
The lifting of one of these bags on the
fire is noiseless as well as clean. When
the fire grows very low, almost out in
fact, sprinkle of powdered sugar on it
has magical effect, producing flame
directly. In these days, when good
trained nurses are in such demand, it is
well to make note of such simple means
of making sick-room as comfortable as
care and forethought can do.
