On the Threshold.
Standing at womanhood's door is she,
Clad in her virginia. purity.
A creature fair as the lilies be.
And like the lilies, alas, how frail;
They are borne to earth when the storms pre-
vail, &f
And their life goes out in the summer gale.
When we, see frafl and lovely creature,
standing on the threshold between girlhood and
womanhood, we shiver with fear of what may
be, because we haveseen so many succumb at
this critical period of life. What is needed at
that will promote proper functional action OF
the female organs. The only remedy to be de-
ton. This unequalled medicine, which cures
diseases peculiar to women, is especially valua-
BILE at the period when the girl crosses the
threshold of womanhood. Used at such time
it never fails to produce most beneficial re-
suit, and many fragile girl has been tided over
one Of life's most trying periods by it.

Information Wanted.

A subscriber of this place wish
es to learn through the REPORT
if any farmer can tell him what
the disease is that two of his hogs
are suffering with. He is salts
fed that it is not the blind stag
gers although the symptoms re-
semble it closely. Several Of his
acquaintance have hogs with
the same disease and known sure
cures for blind staggers have
failed to relieve them. The hogs
do not suffer loss of appetite
and appear to be in a perfectly
normal condition except that
they keep constantly swaying
sideways even while eating at
the trough. One of the hogs has
the trouble SO. badly that it is
unable to stand on its feet, SEEM
ing otherwise in perfect health.
If any farmer or stockman can
name the disease and q remedy
for the same we will esteem it a
favor.
