Masks for Tafnable Gems.

A richly dressed, handsome young
woman attracted considerable attention
in the box of a fashionable theatre one
evening this week. 1t was not her an
usual beauty-fOr there were other ladies
present who excelled her in personal
charms that made her conspicuous,
neither was it due to any unusual depOrt-
ment on her part. The whole claim upon
fame rested in the magnificent solitaire
diamond earrings she wore. AS they

There evidently was no paste about them
They were genuine stones and worth nos

had come to an end, reporter who had
observed the lady during the performance,
saw her as she was leaving the building.
He looked for the diamonds, but they
were not visible The setting of the stones
remained the same, but in the place of
the gems were two chased gold bulbs,
such as any fashion loving saleslady
might have aspired to own.

Unlike many kinds of cathartic

Grafton is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigel's Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
red. They cleanse the bowels from allie
1rritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the ban
of our lives-constipatio and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
Ii you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with a fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrh9a. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with a dose of
Seige1's Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result
seigel's Operating Pills prevent
ill-ettects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.
