The two months elapsed and the mining
stock did not turn up the S20,600. The
phvsician also foun that the medium
had become Indifferent about giving him
seances and rapturous spirit kisses. Af
ter a time il began to dawn upon him
that he had been victimized, and he
intimated so much to the fascinating
lady medium. You have doubted"
she replied, "and the spirits are punish
ing you for it. But in any case, what can
YOU do about it? When you thought you
were talking to the spirit of your departed
female friend you let out compromising
secrets that should have been kept
sacred between yourselves. You dare
not have these come out, and you dare
not admit to the world that you had
been fooled, as you say you have been.
Don't come back to this house again"
But tie doctor brooded over the matter,
and in a hit of desperation did return
for he also began to conceive a strong
passion for the
VERY ATTRACTIVE MEDIUM HERSELF.
She entertained him while she sent for
couple of male friends. On coming into
the house one of these men represented
himself as the mediums hus band, and
the other as detective. The deluded
gentleman was threatened with arrest
and exposure, and under this fear he
kept away: but he is thoroughly cured of
belief in materialized spirits who kiss
and act as mOrtals do. He is still a
physician Of large practice and eminent
in his profession, and is high officer in
the Masonic fraternity.
MRS. WILLIAMS DOES NOT INDULGE
in the naturalization of flowers; but
she knows that some mediums lay claim
10 that power. She perhaps has heard
how one Of the flower mediums was ex-
posed lately. This medium would have
herself tied to the floor and her hands
manacled behind her back. She would
then sit down on chair, and when the
curtain was opened some time, natural
flowers would be found on her lap and
also a canary bird. The discovery was
made that in the side of her dress she
had deep pocket, which, when she sat
down, worked with spring and threw
out whatever it contained. In this
pocket she would secrete the flowers and
the canary bird. Before putting the
latter in the pocket she would suck its
bill until it would be SO exhausted that
it would not be able to make any noise
or disturbance while the tying process
was going on. IL would about have re-
covered when The cabinet was entered
and ;he medium released. Probably
Mrs. Williams may reply that there are
frauds in the materializing business, as
in most other professions; but how is
the seeker after truth to know who is
genuine and who is not?'

"Mothers should Note This

Under this caption an old physician
writes to Cincinnati Medical journal
that in view of the fact that people living
at distance from cities are frequently
ready put up for use, they should provide
themselves with only such remedies as
are known to be free from opiates, poisons
and narcotics; thus avoiding not only
danger, but even fatal results. He re-

by various Boards of Health proved to
be purely vegetable as well as prompt

Habitual constipation is not only one of the
most unpleasant, but at the same time one of
the most injurious conditions of the human
system, and is but a forerunner of fdisease, un-
less removed. This is usually accomplished
by the use of purgatives, which for the time
afford relief, but after their immediate effects
nave passed they leave the system in a worse
state than before. To effect cure it is nee
essary that the remedy used should be one
that not only by its cathartic effect relieves
the Bowels, but at the same time acts as a
tonic. so as TO restore the organs to sound,
