Davenport, of Canarsie, New York writes:
L have been very much troubled with a
violent pain below my chest bone. 1 was
told by several physicians that it was
rheumatism of the diaphragm. 1t resulted
from cold and exposure. l had very little
appetite and digested my food with great
difficulty. i placed one of ALLCoCK's 5

and two en- each side. In the course of
twenty-fOur hours all pain ceased, and l
was able to eat and digest n good square
meal, something had not done bofore IN

found them quick and effective.

Women Gamblers at Long Branch

The favorite exploit with the women
at Long Branch this summer is to gam
be. Probably they are led to this 10y
the habit OF bettleg at the horse I; C ).
At first the female curiosity to see the
interiors of the famous club houses
was gratified by morning visits in par
ties, at time when no play was going
on. But it is now custom of morn
ing, noon and night to go to one of
these gorgeous establishments, take a
breakfast, dinner or supper IN the res
taurant, and then retire TO a private
room; TO which the apprentices OF any
desired game are introduced. OF
course, women who do this usually
belong to the fast coterle, but l have
known OF adventures by thoroughly
reputable husbands, wives and daugh-
ters indulging in these dangerous tiger
hunts. Faro is the game usually chO-
sen. The most uTbane and polished
dealer in the employ OF the house Is
always detailed for this special duty.
Judging by the enormous Increase of
gambling at Long Branch, by the open
afflllation between the professional
gamblers and the village authorities,
and by the constantly extending FASH
condolences Of the vice, the end Of the
present season will hardly be reached
before the ladies will sit at the public
green tables, just as they do at Mon
AGO and Baden Baden.

syasaI Voices. Catarrh and False
Teeth.'

4 prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shriu. nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twittIng they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence of catarrhal diff
fculties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth?
That Is more of a poser to the Eng
Iish. 1t is quite impossible to account
for Il except on the theory or deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of reg ular sxer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nutri-
ton induced by deranRed stomach
action. The condition Is a modern
one, one unknown TO our ancestors who
prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular
use of what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
Remedy and Log Cabin Sarsaparllla,
two old fashioned standard remedies
banded down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees of purity and
efficacy by the world-famed makers of
Warmers Safe Cure. These two RENE
dies plentifully used as the fall and
winter seasons advance, together with
an occasional use of Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream, to strengthen and
protect the nasal membranes, give a
positive assurance of freedom, both
from cataTrh and those dreadful and If
neglected, inevitable consequences.
pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which so generally and
fatally prevail among our people
COmrade Eli Fisher, of Salem
Henry Co., Iowa, served four years IN
the late war and contracted a disease
called consumption by the doctors he
had frequent hemoTrhages. After
using Warmers Log Cabin cough and
cOnsumstiOn remedy, he says, under
date of Jan. 18th, 1888: ~ do not
bleed at the lungs any more, my cough
does not bother me, and L do not have
any more smotherIng spells.'s War
ner's Log Cabin rose cream cured his
wife of catarrh and she is "sound and
welI.;'
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
dIcated.
