Almost a Miracle!
a REMARKABLE STORY.

4 few days ago gentleman of high stand
ing in Atlanta met DIR. J. Bradtield on the
street, and related the following, in which all
ladies' are deeply Interested:
For the past eighteen months my wife has
been an Invalid, caused from womb trouble,
cessation of mensCs, etc, and I have tried ev
crything l could hear of in the way of modi-
cine, and have had several of our best physi
elan attending her. TO one of whom, calling
him 10y namel paid one hundred and sixty
three dollars. Instead of improving or get
ting any relief, she gradually grew worse, and
had almost given up hope, and really did
not believe she would ever get up from an iu-
Nalid's bed; but friend of mine who knew OF
the case suggested the uSn of
RFadfieId's Female Regulator,
and although he stated that he knew of a sim
liar case being cured 10y it. and endorsed it
himself, was so discouraged I did not believe
lt would do her any good: but as a last resort
/ bought large bottle of il. and she began
ticking IT. and from the very first a marked
change took place. She begun to improve

Bath-Rooms in Farm-Houses.

Not many farm-houses, writes .
correspondent of The Boston Journal,
have a convenient bathroom, nor is it
convenient to arrange one in many old
houses without more expense than the
owner or tenant is willing to expend.
Shall l tell you how one house is ar
ranged, not far from where am writ
ingp The house was so small for the
family that there was no room to
spare for a bathroom. but it FORUM
ately had good large kitchen. Upon
one side of this kitchen stands the
bath-tub. closed in with pine boards.
Above this casing is a movable board
six or eight inches wide, and the whole
is covered by smoothly-planed hard
wood board or boards, hung by hinges
against the wall. When the board is
let down over the tub it forms a
kitchen table about seven feet long and
four feet wide, and those not in the Sc
cret would not suspect what is beneath
it. When the table is turned up and
the movable boards taken out the bath
ing-tub is of convenient height. A
lead pipe carries the water off through
the same channel that takes it from
the kitchen sink. Here, by tho kitchen
fire, the members of the family can
take their bath before retiring for the
night, and the delight of the younger
children at tub in which they can
lie down and splash to-their hearts
content is, as their mother assures me,
something worth witnessing, and after
the children are off to bed the older
members pay their tribute to cleanli-
ness. The same lady assures me that
the great kitchen table is as handy
as two smaller ones would be.
or course, this is not as convenient as
the regular bathroom, where the lat
ter can be kept at comfortable tenn
perature, but we cannot all have new
houses with all the modern improve
ments, and if we can afford to make
our old ones more convenient for
those who have to do the work therein.
let us do so. The making of the house
comfortable for those who spend their
DAYS in it should be a part of our
everyday work, as much as the liking
up of barns and other buildings.
