CATARRHAL FEMALE
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO FEMALE
SUFFERERS, OLD AND

A Free Book.

A very common cause OF female dis
eases is the result of catarrh OF n or
more OF the pelvic osgans or passages
Catarrhal congestion OF the ovaries,
bladder, urethra, womb or vagina,
either is amply sufficient to make life
miserable. But when Gas is usually the
case) two, three, or eve all OF these
parts become congested, it becomes
difficult to overstate the sufferlngs
that follow. 1t would be impossible to
present an exhaustive array OF the
symptoms caused by these congestions,
for their name is legion but promi-
nent among them are to be mentioned
smarting, %throbbing, scalding, beating,
burning, quivering, aching, trembling,
bloating, flashes of heat, tremors Of
cold, prickly sensations, sinking feel
ings, faintness, numbness-these, in
part or in whole, with many more in
descE.bable p%unctulrng, piercing pains
flying from part to part with provok-
ing uncertainty, mocking the victim
with |momentary relief, to begin its tor
lures elsewhere. No two cases are eX-
actly alike in number or severity of
symptoms, some being only slightly
annoyed, others being actually con-
fined to the bed.
In all of these perverted functions
of the female organs take two tea
spoonsful of Pe-runa before each meal
and between meals, and enough of
Man-a-lin at bedtime to keep the bow

A Mlser's Hoard.

The relatives and heirs Of an old
man who recently died in a small
French village may certainly con-
gratulate themselves on the circum-
stance that his death took place dur
ing the winter, and that consequent
ly, while waiting in his cottage for
the departure of the funeral cortege
TO the church and cemetery, a fire was
made TO warm the room.
The defunct was i'm humble circum-
stances, and though ofa thrifty. care
ful disposition, nobody thought he
had any property worth mentioning
behind him. The day of the funeral
being a very cold one, the old mans
store of wood was drawn upon more
freely, possibly. than the thrifty cot
tager would himself have approved
of, and this led to a remarkable dis
covery. As the flames from thecrack-
ling logs shot up, one of the clumps
of wood split in to, and out Of il, to
the surprise ofthe assembled relatives
rolled golden stream Of louis dor.
When this log, which the deceased
had chosen as the hiding place of his
savings, was emptied of its contents,
there was found over hundred and
fifty gold pieces-quite fortune for
a man in his humble position in life.
People of a miserly disposition are
fond of concealing their boards in
queer places. But it is probable that
none would have thought of inspect
ing his store of frewood London
Standard.
