Mr.. lanes Brannan, Second avenue

/ have been constantly troubled with a
chronic diarrhea, or dysentery, having
had, on IN average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty-four
hours, and every one bloody. l had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir-
teen weeks, and though l left it much
better, yet in five DAYS / was as bad as
ever. / then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me l was not long for this world,
and advised me to write : my friends
about it. I next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me.
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and I have now
been entirely we'll for several weeks, and
never felt better in my life. though I am
still taking his PERUNA. I will take il
whenever I need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes {:

chronic diarrhGa. l was treated by Ave

the city of Pittsburgh, and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three of them
Said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and ! went immedi-
ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERuNA. / have been at
work now for three months, and never in
my life felt better. Call and see me at

streets, Twelfth ward, Pittsburgh"
Mr.. Patrick Cunningham, S. S., near

suffered constantly with a discharge OF
matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through

longer. l had heard SO much of the i'll
effects Of a knife operation that l resolved
to go to DR.. Hartman. He ridiculed the
silly idea of cutting it. and at one per-

Frightening Children.

The greatest difficulty in the way of
properly rearing children is that their
elders forget that they were ever chill
dren themselves. Parents, with all
their love and tenderness, are often SO
unmindful Of the extreme sensibillty of
their offspring. that they think to
amuse by frightening them. This is
like tickling them with "a needle it is
all pain and no pleasure. Because a
fright is intended to be a joke, it is no
reason hat it is so understood, especial
~ by the little folks, who are altoge'h
er literaiists. Nothing can be worse
for a child than to Tighten it. The
effect of the scare it is slow to recover
from it remains sometimes until matn
rity, as is shown by many instances of
morbid >ensitiveuex and excessive ner
vousness. Not unfrequently, fear is
employed as a means of discipline.
Children arc controlled by being mace
to believe that something terrible will
happen to them are punished By being
shut up in dark rooms, 'or by being put
in places they stand iu dread of. No
one, without vivid memory Of his own
childhood. can comprehend how entire
Iy cruel such things are. We have OF
ten heard grown persons tell Of the SUI
ferings they have endured, as children,
under like circumstances. and recOun,
the irreparabIe injury which they are
sure they then received. No parent,
no nurse, capable Of alarmingthe young
is fitted for her position, Children, as
near IS possible, should be trained net
t. know the sense of fear. which, above
everything else, is to be feared, in thei,
education both early aud late.

More Stores Needed.

The great want of this country ia
more stores for the employment of the
thousands Of talented young men
who like the man in the Scrip

dig. These yonng men command our
sympathy. They sit around the
street corners Of the thousands of
towns and villages and wear out the
seat Of their breeches in abject misery,
because there are not enough stores for
them to clerk in. The country does
not need farmers. and machinists, ana
blacksmiths. and wheelwrights.an and shoe
makers and ditchers, and miners, and
all sorts Of mechanics. 1t needs stores
in which young men can get employ

Like any other widow, she has an undoubted
