4 Wonderful Remedy.
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH AN ARTICLE OF
MERIT IN THE HANDS OF PRO-
GREsSIyE MEN.

A whole page of this issue of the Conr-
ier is occupied by the advertisement Of
the greatest blood purifier that has ever
been known. The medicine has been
made for over fifty years in Georgia. but
has only within the last ten years been
prominently brought to the notice of the
public. The firm which manufactures
this medicine is the largest drug cstab-
lishment nthe South, and unites with an
immense capital, the most correct and
successful business methods, thoroughly
protecting all who trade with them, and
giving every one, from the smallest deal
er to the largest houses, fair profits on
their goods. Their success and tile en-
tent of their business oan better be- apprex
ciated by knowledge of the fact that
their annual sales iii Evansville reach
many thousands Of dollars, and then ad-
Yertise this season only in the Courier
and the Public. Such success could only
be attained with thoroughly reliable
remedy, and this fact almost makes Jun
necessary to say q word in its favor, fur
ther than the testimonials which will be
seen to-day on the third page of the Cour-
Ter. They are only a few selected from
thousands which have been received. If
any sufferer iii Evansville with blood
trouble Of any kind has not yet tried this
wonderful remedy, he should not allow
another day to pass over his head before
giving it trial. 1t will certainly do all
that is claimed for it.-[Evansvilie (Ind.)

Mr.. Winston. our late Brigadier Of
Militia at Teheran, who ii was alleged
had worked the Shah for large grants
and valuable privileges for railroad
purposes in Persia, seems to be less
fortunate than at first suspected.
He had, IL Is true, secured the grants
from the Shah, but the State has a
hOuschier El.Dowleh, sort Of a pri-
vate secretary attachment to his Upness,
who doesn't propose to permit the
Shah to give a good thing away. He
il, moreover, very much in debt, and

Mouschier saw an opportunity to work

Shah, who, by the way, is the Nous

Chicago Brigadier had secured his
grants without costing him any more
than the drinks, aud rs he had in his
hands the frman and other papers
necessary to put Mr.. Winston in full
possession of his charters, &c, he sent
word TO him that it would be very

Summer Fashion Notes.

One Of the loveliest OF the satin sashes
showsa vine in Venetian velvet of brocaded
tea roses running down the centre,
Young ladies will wear black silk hose
and black kid slippers, or Newport ties,
without regard to colors in the dress.
A very stylish little sleeveless jacket is
imported, entirely OF beaded passementerie,
and looks very dressy over silk dress.
Fancy hosiery is not favored much at
present. The popular taste seems to run
almost wholly in thedirection OF plain dark
coors and black.
There are silk and Isle thread with broad,
circular stripes OF two tones, say black and
white or red aud black, or embroidered dots
or broken rings IN two or three tnts Of silk
on dark grounds.
Fine netted shoulder capes will be worn
during the summer with beads OF various
sizes wrought In fine patterns in rows,
lines, diamonds and various other designs
and finished with heavy fringe of large
beads.
When the stockings are taken of at night
squeeze little lemon juice on cloth and
rub the foot, when almost instantly tht
stains will disappear. Then wet the cloth
In clear water and wipe the feet aud dry
them. II takes but a moment, aud the ef
feet Is marvellous.

Though her hair be black, or hor hair be red

With her sc6ptre and golden crown.
