A Woman's Building.

surplus over the expenses, it is
claimed. The rent roll with all the

the women eau fill this building they
will in few years pay for the tenn

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease.
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion, or prostration.
another with pain here and there, and in
TINS way they all present, alike to themselves
ana their easy-going and Indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
Tor which he prescribes his pills and potions
assuming them to be such, when, in reality
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of
the cause of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
by reason OF the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi-
cine, like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and instituting
comfort instead OF prolonged misery.

play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed
must be the stomach that can stand it without
revolving. Tourists, commercial travellers,
yachtsmen, mariners, all testify that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is the best remedy for the
nausea experienced in rough weather on the
water. Nervous and weakly travellers by land
often suffer from something akin to this, and
order of the stomach, liver or bowels is so OBJ
stinate that it may not be overcome by the
prompt and thorough remedy. Equally eff
cacious is it for ehills and fever, kidney and
rheumatic trouble and nervousness. Emigrants
to the frontier should provide themselves with
this fine medicinal safeguard against the effects
of vicissitudes of climate, hardship, exposure

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh), that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

No Alarm Felt at the Post

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 26.-The fact has
been noted that the president is sending
very few nominations to the senate these
days and that in combinations by the
senate haste is being made slowly
There has been a most marked falling
off in both respects since the rejection
by the senate of the nomination Of Judge
HornbloWer for justice OF the supreme
court Of the United States and Of Harrison
for the surveyor of the port Of
Kansas City So far during the present
week the president has sent 70 the senate
only the one nomination of AIr. Peck
ham, to be associate justice, and while
the senate has held two or three brief
executive sessions, only a very few CON
hrmations have been announced
Pit is also a weH known fact that there
is scarcely an important committee Of
senate which has not one or more n0mi-
nations hung up there because of objec-
uOns by senators and others.
"a large number of nominations from
New York state and some from Mis-
souri,, NOrth Carolina. Illinois and many
other states, which were made before the
Christmas holidays, remain still in the
committees. Appraiser Bum of New
u ork, Collector Simmons of North Caro-
lima, and the Topeka postmaster. are in-
cluded in the list Of appointments Of long
standing, which have not received auten-
ton
