EpiIep,ic and Other Fits Cu,ed


For years cure for Epilepsy and other Fits
caused by disease of the nerves has been sought.
| 1t is now conceded by physicians, druggists and
| the people that the long-needed remedy has been
| found In DR. Greene's Nervura. which has, by
curing thousands of cases, proved that it Is an
absolute specific for these terrible nervous COM
plants. 1t is harmless vegetable remedy, and
sure and positive cure for all nervous diseases
All druggists keep it at S1.0o per bottle.
My son had been troubled with epilepsy loss
Of appetite, and had no ambition to do anything.
After trying several remedies he took DR..
Greene's Nervura, and can truly say that it
made him ne,U boy. The Fits have left him
his whole system is built up amer, and he is en-
joying perfect health. Ii is the best medicine
Il ever used, and after trying others find it
has NO equal.
MIR. w. SCHUM,

"Considers Dr. Greene's Nervura the Iest
Wonderful Remedy Ever Discovered.v
My wife. Sarah E. Dill, was paraIyzed three
years ago, and was In a very low condition.
She had convulsions coming on at the same
time every month, which were SO severe that
we expected That she would never come
Oue "a SoAhC "a tnCnh OluCt ludG IlI06 SIG was
under the treatment for Is months of a frst-class
physician, who became discouraged, and finally
allowed her TO use DIR. Greene's Nervura,
which she has been taking ever since. She has
neuer had a convulsion or any symptoms of one
since she began using this medicine she is gain
ing rapidly in health and strength, and is
able to be about the house and yard and do some
light work. Iconsider DR.. Green's Nervura the
most wonderful remedy that WAS ever
discovered.
JOHN c. DILL,

DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place. Boston, Mass
its discoverer, is the famous specialist in the
cure of nervous and chronic diseases. The
doctor has devoted special attention to the treats
ment of all forms of chronic diseases through
letter correspondence, and will give by mail his
opinion and advice in any case free of charge
The perfection of this system renders a complete
cure almost assured as his success in treatment
by correspondence is wonderful and unequalled.

RAILROAD COLLISION.
Failure of the Air-Brakes to Work Causes
the Accident.


CAMERON wv. Va.), October 25th-Gov-
ernor Hill aud party, accompanied by I. S.
Riley, Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, Governor Fleming and others,
left Wheeling this morning over the b.
timore and Ohio, and was TO have
stopped at all stations between Wheeling
and Harper's Ferry to allow the Governor
to make addresses.
The programme, however. was inter-
fered with by collision at Moundsville.
The train was about starting, when engi-
neer Wells heard warning note from the
engineer of the Chicago express, which
told him that train was approaching on
the same track. About fifty feet ahead of
where the Governors train was standing
wide and low high way bridge spans the
railroad tracks, making it impossible to
see approaching trains on the other side of
the bridge. About twenty-five feet behind
the Governors train was an aceommoda-
ton train, running between Wheeling and
Cumberland. 1t came to q stand. When
engineer Wells noticed the approach of
the Chicago express he Immediately re-
versed the engine, backing the train, but the
Chicago express was moving at so high q
rate of speed that it soon caught up to the
Governors train and crashed into 1t. The
cowcatchers of both trains were demol-
ished, as were the platforms of three
coaches.
Governor Hills train was thrown back
on the accommodation train and the cow
catcher was smashed. Behind the accom-
mediation train was heavily loaded freight
train, and the trains together were thrown
back on that with slight force. There
was no damage to the latter, except the
cowcstcher was torn away. Had the Gov
ernor's train consisted of the ordinary
coaches it would have been crushed like
an egg shell between the two heavy trains

THE sUPERFLUoUs WOMAN.
The Opinions of Various welI-Known
People as to Her Identity.


Who the superauous women are is
largely matter Of opinion. Emily Faith
full says the goyerness; Mrs Kendall says
the wives who squander their husbands
earnings on frippery and waste their afiec-
tons on lapdog; the Rev. c. H. Park
hurst of the Madison Square Presby terrain
Church considers the unprecedented girl a
waste of good material, and, according TO
the gracious and suaye Charles Dudley
Warner, the supertluouS women are those
who have better understanding of logar-
ithms than the ethics of the griddie and
oven. To the Grand Old Man the Shrek
ing sisterhood Is undeniably superiuous,"
and our humanitarian and lover of his
kind, President Of Charities Blake, can
find no reason in philosophy or economy
for the existence of woman who can
neither keep house nor produce the money
to pay substitute. THE superauous
women" says the lovely Modieska, are
those discontents who, not knowing how
to be womanly, attempt to be manly and
end in being mannish," Colonel Iugersoll
thinks 1.-THE superhuous woman is her own
adviser. She will not be idealized or
idolized Man, in his admiration, puts
her on 4 pedestal and fastens railing
about her 10 keep her from the oontami-
mating touch of the crowd, aud she jumps
down, creeps from the security and sane
| tity of the Enclosure and is gone.
"The restless spirit Of the age may have
something to do with the crashing of our
idols, but you can't make the thinking
reasoning, rational world believe that
there is swee.er, better place on earth
than home, or 4 more lovely jewel in it
| than the wife and mother" The gallant
Colonel declined to be more specific.
Now the noble thing for this army Of mar
tyrs, who are not mothers, home-keepers
or producers who do not keep their hus-
bands love; who are not equal to the
management of the kitchen and nursery;
who have lost their grip on things gener-
ally; who cannot sew, cook, darn, trim
hats, advise, train, govern or charm;
whose fancieS run to the "L' station liter
ature, gum, lapdogs, mannishness, matt
nees and missions-the only grand thing
for her to do is 10 select some easy method
of extinction, and make away for the pro-
tectors of home industries and home in
tereStS.
