Physicians Powcricss---Thc Story Told by
the Chiid's Mother.
(From he Reporter, Somerset Ky)
Among the foot hills OF the Cumberland
Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock. is
the happy home OF James McPherron. Four
months ago the daughter OF the family, n
happy girl OF sixteen, was stricken with ST.
Nitus dance. The leading physicians were
consulted, but without avail. She grew pale
and thin under the terrible nervous strain
and was fast losing her mental powers. In
fact the thought of placing her in an asylum
was seriously considered. Her case has been
so widely taxed about that the report of her
cure was like undermining miracle of old
To n reporter who visited the home the
mother said:

Fiction grew into St vtus' dance from an
aggravated form OF weakness and nervous
trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of
help wis followed to tho end. but Il seemed
that physicians and medicine were power
less. Day by day she grew worse until wa
despaired of her life. At times she almost
went into commissions She got so that we
had to watch her to keep her from wander

was.
About this time, when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fed. read OF
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by "A medicine known "a DR.. Williams

PRIZE PEKIN DUCK AND DRAKE.

ducks can be greatly improved by
using Pekin drake. Their white,
elastic feathers, largely mixed with
down, are almost as plentiful as those
of the goose, aud form an important
source of revenue when the birds arc
raised in large numbers.
Duck culture is n business that is
rapidly extending, especially on Long
Island, where tha duck farms are
growing in size and numbers. Tho
circumstance that the Pekin is the
favorite breed among all the large
duck farmers, being used either pure
or crossed with others, proves conclu-
sively their belief in its superior merits.

Dyspepsia as a Cause OF Badness

Dyspepsia rs Cause of Badness.
Dyspepsia is one of the most COM
mou causes of badness. Nature is Il
great economizer. and when the nu-
TRENT elements furnished by the blood
are insufficient TO properly support the
whole body she cuts of the supply to
parts the least vital like the hair and
nails, that the heart lungs, and other
vital organs may be the better nour-
ished. In cases of severe fevers this
economy is particularly noticeable. A
single hair Is sort of history of the
physical condition of an individual
during the time IL has been growing If
one could read closely enough Take
hair from the beard or from the head
and scrutinize ii, and you will see that
1t shows some attenuated place, indi-
eating that ut some period of its growth
the blood supply was deficient from
overwork anxiety, or understanding.
The hair falls out when the strength
of its roots is insufficient To sustain its
weight any longer, and Il new hair will
take its place unless the root is dis
eased. For this reason each person has
certain definite length of hair. When
the hair begins to split or fall out mas
sage to the scalp is excellent. Place the
tip of the fingers firmly upon the scalp
and then vibrate or move the SCALP
while holding the pressure steadily.
This will stimulate the blood vessel I'M
derneath and bring about better nour-
ishment of the hair. \ brush of un
evenly tufted bristles is also excellent
to use upon the scalp, not the hair
