Capt John Orr, Pearington, Miss, has
been a most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the ncrves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most cxcruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. lie often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolcrable pain The best physicians failed
to relieve hlm They finally advised him
to consult Drs Hartman & Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did They prescribed PERuNA, and
in less than q month was entirely relieved
of the pam. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch 10 any part OF his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pam,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear OF pam.

A Millionaire's Peculiar Will.

BOsToN, January 8.-The late Geo.
Gardner, OF Boston and Beverly, re-
Gently deceased millionaire, left a pc
culiar will, which was filed to-day.
There are no public bequests, but the
bulk of his property is left in the hands
of trustees. They are directed to pay
to his wife each year 1,l6l Troy ounces
of pure gold and in addition ifshe wants
it, $4,000 cash. 1t is said that when
this will was made this quantity of gold
represented his wife's exact weight,
which was between 80 and 100 pounds,
ayoirdupois. The will further specifies
that the trustees "shall, if she from
time to time so direct, deliver to her
said pure gold at the weight, said Troy
weight, of pure gold it may from time
to time contain" The remainder of
the income of the estate Is to be divid-
ed among his relations,
