THERE appears to be no doubt that
there has been genuine Asiatic
cholera in Jersey City, scientific in
vestigation having shown beyond
question that four persons have died
in the city hospital there of the
disease. The remarkable thing
about these cases is that absolutely
no connection has been traced be-
tween the victims and any infected
ship or port. 1t is gratifying to
know that the authorities are taking
every precaution to stamp out tho
disease where it has been found, and
it is to be hoped that they will sue
coed. 1t is late in the season for a
cholera visitation in this country.
but it is not necessarily too late.

Untidiness in Attire One of the Last Things
Man VIII Forgive.
There is nothing that men of society
dislike so much or criticise so freely as
untidiness in woman. Slovenly de-
tails in the way of shoes, gloves, ties,
etc, are always noticed and commented
upon, and to say woman is smart"
and well turned out" is to give the
highest need of praise in their voca bu-
larry. Very expensive clothes are not
at all necessary to insure masculine
approbat ton; on the contrary the SIM
plest toilets are the most admired if
the fit and style are good and if the
accessories are carefully considered
and, above all, if the gown is fresh and
unsoiled. There is something quite
fascinating about a daintily shod foot
peeping in and out among the .frills
of her petticoat," and nowadays ex-
pense need be no obstacle, as the
pretty suede shoes, black, and
white, and tan, and gray, are
very reasonable in price. Even girl

man, also, is more apt to admire style
than beauty. A girl who is chic and
dresses effectively is generally much
more of belle than her more beauti-
full sister, who perhaps relies too much
on her prettiness for her attractions

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROxBURY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Sorofula
down to common Pimpe.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
Of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Read the Label. Send for Book.
