A TERRIBLE PROSPECT.
Some Revelations of Fearful Import
Regarding American Wives
and Mothers.

II person could travel throughout this
entire land and visit every residence sepa-
rately, be would probably lind that in
fully four-ffths of the homes, the wife or
mother would be weak and ailing in some
form or other. 1t would not in all cases be
any settled infirmity or disease, but there
would be a lack of life and energy, sallow-
ness OF the complexion, a tired feeling
greater portion of the time, tickle appe-
tite, and many other familiar symptoms
which indicate weakness, poor health and
coming on of disease. These are not
pleasant facts to contemplate, but they
are serious ones and should be looked
fairly in the face.
If the American people are to become a
strong and vigorous nation, they must
find it's beginning with the wives and
mothers Of the land. There must be a
great physical and mental vigor that will
perpetuate itself. The only way in which
this can be done, is by assisting nature
when 1t lags, and putting it in condition
to help itself. A gentle yet powerful
preparation, that will arouse the blood TO
better action, that will start the forces Of
vitality, and awaken the energies of life,
is aGod-send to any community, and this
preparation has been completely found In
the wonderful Volina Cordial, which is
attracting so much attention throughout
the length and breadth of the land. 1t is
not primarily stimulant, but more in the
form of an inspiration and food for the
blood, nerves, muscles and brain. twill
restore all disorders OF the stomach, regu-
late all functions of the body, and place
the entire system in position to do its
work thoroughly and well.
A prominent lady OF Charleston, S. c.,
said: ~ think | have had nearly all the

testimony could be repeated indefinitely,
but we are thoroughly convinced that this
modern medical discovery is doing more
to bring vigor and hope to the wives and
mothers of the land than anything of re-
| cent times, and as such we most cordially
indorse 1t.

NEW FACTS ABOUT CANNIBALs.
Discovery of Tribes in the Congo
Basin Who Eat Human Flesh.
From the Neao York Star.

N rom Ie A'oO <Off~ our
1t has long been known that few
tribes OF cannibals lived in Africa, but
there was until recently no reason to be-
lieye that the tribes OF anthropophagi are
numerous and that cannibalism is prac-
tioed in quite a large part OF that CONT
nent. The new discovery is the result of
explorations in the Congo basin, where it
is now believed cannibals are more ru.
merous than in any other part OF the world.
There are some striking differences with
regard to this practice among The various
tribes.
When Lieuts. Kund and Tap penbeclS
were travelling between the Wambu and
XVIII rivers they came among the gentle
and timid tribe OF the Pamballas, who
confessed that they we're men eaters on
a small scale. sit is true" they said,
shat we eat people when we have any
people TO eat, but that is not very often"
This announcement has tlnge OF sadness
due to the fact that the Pamballas, not
being warlike, are generally the under
dogs in the fights that surrounding tribes
force upon them, and they think them
selves lucky II now and then an enemy
falls into their hands.
Quite different was the conduct of the
men CATERS MuOiH buC bohC tioNt hAVg
a little further east. "Why," they inso.
lently shouted. lido you not give us some
OF your men 10 eat? You are no friends
OF ours. When the Majaccas come
among us they never fall TO bring some
men TO eat. They are our friends"
Other canuibels IN the Congo basin
DENY that they are men eaters, and Will
NOT admit the truth AS long as they can
conceal it. Few OF the Bangallas Will
talk on the subject 10 white men. The
practice in their tribe ~ generally con-
lined 10 their chiefs and leaders, they being
considered Ms specially privileged.
