 Marion Harlands Opinion Of Baking Powders.
 Our readers have doubtless noticed the nu-
 merous discussions by the scientists and hy- gienists Es to the relative value of the vari- ous baking powders. careful sitting of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the superiori- ty of the Royal Baking Powder in purity, wholesomeness and strength from scientific standpoint. An opinion, however, that will weigh heavier than any other with our prac tical housekeepers is that given by Marion Harland, the best known and most popular of American writers upon matters pertaining to the science of domestic economy, of house keeping and home cooking. In recent let- | ter to the Philadelphia Ladies' Home Jour- nal this writer says:
 'I regard the Royal Baking Powder as the | best manufactured and in the market, so fal as have any experience in the use of such compounds. Since the introduction of ii into my kitchen, three years ago, have used no ether in making biscuits, cakes, etc., and | have entirely discarded for such purposes the l homemade combination of ons-third soda | two-thirds cream of tartar.
 | "Every box has been in perfect condition when it came into my hands, and the con tents have given complete satisfaction. It if an aot of simple justice, and also pleasure
 to recommsnd it unquaIiGedly to American housewives. MARION HARLAND.

How a Dying Child
 Was Saved ]!

CICERO. HAMILTON O.. IHD.. sept, 1s. 1ss7- The following is a trus account of what your g. s. s. has dono for our little daughter. Hazel. now four years old. When 12 months old . lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought 1t was caused by piece of broken glass or needle but failed to bring anything to light. Tho child became feebler all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard. The hip joints became involv- cd, % that when seventeen months old shc could not stand, having lost the use of leg and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age she was placed under tho treatment Of prominent physician of Bos- ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree thatshe was in . dying condition This was in April, 1866. We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try one bot tie ''' of SwIFr's SPECIFIC, which we did, and before 1t had all been taken we saw Q change for the better in her symptoms. We keptit up, and have done so to this day, and will keep it up, if the Lord wills. for many days to come, for 1t has brought our dying Hazel to life. to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to . rosy tint. She is ablo to walk anywhere, her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is now Q blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child Should you wish to in- crease your testimonials of proof of the virtue of s. s.

THE CAUSE OF WEAKNESS.
Why Sc Many People Feel Weak, Tired and Nervous i'm Spring.
Exhausted Nervous Vitality the
 Real Cause.
HOW This oondition may Be Easily

How This Condition May Be Easily
 Overcome.
 The most prevalent complaint at this season of the year is weakness and debility. People have or less constant sense of exhaustion or pros traitor, getting tired at physical or mental work which formerly could he done with ease. With this weakness there is condition of nervousness or IF ritability, accompanied by languid and enervated feeling.
 The cause is that there is an exhausti' n of the nerve powers and pTostration of the Ter os vital ity. Tis will be readily understood whe 1t is con sidered that The system is the main spring to speak of the body that controls tae action of all our organs as well all our nov menIs and is the force by VI ich live It is rlin therefore that when, for any caus@, the ner' ous power ener gy and strength is weasered exhaust ed rhNscai prostration, with wropg action of all the organs, must Inevitably follow
 If, then, people find themselves Weak, Langufd and Tired.
 with more or les nervousness they may be certain that it is on account of an exhaust nervous vital ity; the nerves have become weak and the genera tion of has become lessened or arrested If this condition is allowed to continue, or the dis ease to progress utter physical and nervous pros tration will certainly follow
 Persons thus affected are often nervous, sleep less, Respondent and mentally depressed; there will | be in many cases dull, cloudy sensation in the head with bad feelings in the eyes and tired feel ing arising in the morning There is often dys- pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or l kidney disease.
 It is obvious fact that if cure is to be obtain ed in these cases 1t can be effected only by the use of some remedy which builds up nerve force in the system strengthens the nerves restores lost ener- ! gy and power and creates healthy action of all l the organs.
 A Sure and Positive Cure
 will be found in Dr. Greene's Nervura Nerve Tonic, | and we promise eur readers that if they will uss this wonderful remedy they will be restored to per feet health, strength and vigor.
 ! This we know is high praise to bestow upon a remedy, but facts will warrant all that has been said and in affirming that it is the greatest tonic and restorer ever discovered we simply saying what everyone who has used it knows to be truth, for its wonderful effects in restoring health strength and vigor to the weakened nerves and debilitated system are without parallel in the history oi l medicine. Sufferers from any form of nervous dis ease physical debility. dyspepsia indigestion, con- stipation or kidney complaint may easily demon strate for themselves it's great curative power and be restored to health by it's use. the remedy may l be had at any druggist at S1 per bottle. ] Dr. Greene of a5 West Fourteenth street.

floor was black with dried mud and hard

grated windows lookingout into the prison
yard. Down the center Of the room and
occupying about half its width ran the
sleeping bench-a wooden platform twelve
feet wide and thirty feet long, supported
at hight Of two feet iroIn the floor by
stout posts.
A Siberian prison cell contains no other
furniture except large wooden tub for
necessities. The prisoners have neither
pillows, blankets nor bed clothing, and
must lie on these hard planks with no
covering but their Oyercoats. As we en-.
