A Boon for Suffering Women.

If there are times in life that try mems souls, there are also tunes that try women's souls. As woman s organization in general is more deli cate than mans so she has special functions of far more delicate char acter which render her much more liable to Arrangement and disease, and which require much more skillful and careful treatment. No class of diseases test physicians s skill or a medicines efficacy more severely than Female Diseases. No medicine has ever proved more successful in the cure of such diseases than Pe- ru-na. In that most trying of periods which every middle-agcd woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has proved a true boon to the sex. Il had been great sufferer for three years,' writes Mrs. $. Smith, of IIillsville. Pa. II had given up all hope, when commenced taking Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now l am as we'll as ever in my life, Regu- late the bowels with Man-a-lin. For sale by Geo. w.

THE INCURABLE CURED.
A Remarkable Statement from a Well-Known Citizen of
 South Carolina.

Cancer is hereditary in my family, an aunt on each side having died from this dreadful disease. In each instance the cancer was located in identically the same position that mine first made it's appearance-just below the left eye and extending down the left cheek bone and nose. l was attended by the best physl- worse under their treatment, and no hope of cure could be gwen by them; they said: II had better have my affairs for this life and the next arranged, for the cancer was liable to strike vital organ at any moment, and at once bleed to death. About this time, 1886, l met with MT. Shr- ley, living near Due West, whose cancer was being rapidly cured by using Swift's Specific (S. S. $. I then gave up the doctors and all medicines 1 had heretofore been us- ing, and commenced taking $. $. s., and after using the third bottle l dis covered that the scab had fallen off 7, and that those sharp, darting pains, so characteristic of the cancer, had ceased, and the discharge was very profuse. In few days it began to heal rapidly, and soon dried up. By the time I had exhausted the fifth bottle there was nothing left but the scar where the cancer had been, and l was well man. The cure effected in my case is considered by my neigh bors a most remarkably one, and clearly demonstrates the fact that $. S. $. DOES CURE CANCER. Swift's Specific is boon to suffer ing humanity, and all ask is that those afflicted with cancer give it a trial, and like myself will be con- vinced of it's virtues.

THE REGISTER WINCES.

The Arkansas State Register, the Republican mud-slinger of Little Rock. winces considerable in Thurs days issue, because of some hits we gave it last week. In it's half col umn vince it tries to prove it's clean Illness, claiming that every Republi- can Congressman reads it and many of them have cor3plimented it's ap- pearance. eve doubt it's assertion. ) Hear it: Yet the PICAYCNE says the Register is dirty and it's editor is come from Kansas. - Better return to your Jayhawker State, enter school and study grammar. Quote us correctly, if you please; we stated that you came from Kansas.
 In the same issue in which said paper whined so freely because we stated that it's editor came from Kan sas, the following appeared in an edi- torial: "The bourbon press is en- deavoring to fire the Southern heart, : with tales of reconstruction and cite the lawless element to murder Is this not dirt and falschood with a vengeance? Slandering our people to their faces, yet living off them, is almost as bad as did Mrs. Caniield.
 In this connection, we endorse the strong comment of the Washington Press below:
 To slur man because he comes from Mississippi Kansas, or any other State, North, South, East or West, IS in indeed n small business. What we should strive to do in Arkansas is to make every man who settles among us, feel at home.- Arkansas Democrat.
 No, it makes no difference where a man is from; so long as he behaves himself he ought to be treated prop erly and kindly welcomed. But when they come into our State from Kansas or any other State, aye, even from the courts of Heaven, and set up newspapers which are filled from top to bottom with islanders and un- just abuses of our people then it be- hoovcs the good men of the country to dcnounce them instead of uphold ing them. Good citizens are always welcomed, but such men as the edl- tor of the Arkansas Register, and il is to him that the Democrat has ref erence, who are imported for the sole and only purpose of acting as dis. turbing elements should merit nC kindness or maudlin sympathy iron the very people he is seeking to in jure.- Washington Press.
 But enough of this slimy, islander ing sheet, we have no more space tC throw away upon it. Our people will seal its doom in less than year by refusing to patronize it.

Self praise is no test of self ap- proval-indeed, those who are the most lnsistent in their own commen- dation are frequently the least con fdeuce of it's justice. Often it is the very consciousness of inferiority which makes people thus struggle to prevent others from dcpreciating them.

Notwithstanding the well known fact
that the legitimate fees for legal business

large number of them must either steal or

The professions are overcrowded with
young men because many of them think II

Even successful mechanics disparage their

There are over five hundred lawyers in

no reasonable prospect OF ever earning an
