Bellows Falls physician, who is spec

that there We're thousands of such
women who We're literally killing them
selves by too rapid movements.
''They are not satisfied" said he,
with going about doing things in a
quiet, ordinary way but rush through
with their work and ruin their health
as fast as they can. So firmly fixed is
this habit that they run up and down
stairs when there is no need for hurry.
''They not only rush but worry, and
between these two, subject their ner-
vous systems to more wear and tear
than anything short of wrought steel
could endure
Whatever the cause, our women, our
young girls and even business men are
rapidly growing more and more nerv-
Gus. Prof. Phelps the great Dartmouth
scientist, saw this alarming state of
things and concentrated all his energy
to remedying it. 1t was from the form
ula of this eminent student and think
er that Paine's celery compound was
prepared.
Its success in restoring nerve-strength
and building up the worn-out body re-
paid the years of study and investiga-
ton that Prof. Phelps conscientiously
devoted to the diseases of the stomach
and the kidneys, the result of impure
blood and impoverished nerves. The
astonishing results that have come from
its careful use have been the subject of
discussion in all the prominent news
papers and magazines in this country,
Canada and throughout Great Britain.
The record of this great blood cleanser
from the time of it's discovery up to the
present day, has been a marvellous one.
1t has cured literally thousands of
cases of nervous debility, rheumatism,
kidney and heart troubles and has made
sound sleep possible to countless men
and women whose irritable and impov-
erlshed nerves were slowly draining
them of vitality

Crosby Bros. Will Not Unite Their Two
Stores.
The two large Crosby dry goods stores

Crosby Bros. purchased the Stevenson
stock, that the lower store would be
closed at once, and the stock moved to
the Stevenson building, but though that
was the original plan, it has been aban-
doned for the present
Mr. w. T. Crosby said to a JOURNAL
reporter: sour trade has been wonder
full and we feel justified in con-
tinuing the two stores We are
now employing ninety people in the
upper store and there is plenty for
them to do. We expected to let some go
last Saturday, but we could not spare
them. Then we thought we could re-
duce the force on Tuesday, but they are
still here. We undertook big thing
when we bought the Stevenson stock, but
am now satisfied that we made no mis-
take and will come out all right"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

One of the best known medical prac-
titioners in Topeka is DR.. J. G. Brown
field. He has not only become famous
within year, but what is better, he has
achieved great success as a physician
1t is said of Lord Byron, The awoke
one morning to find himself famous" So
it is with this genial doctor. His name
within the past eight or nine months has
become q household word in Topeka.
This is not only on account of his eccen-
tricities, and love of display; but blow
ing the froth away, by reason of his skill
as physician.
Doctor Brownield, of course. knows
how to advertise to reach the ear of the
public. Yesterday he purchased the
finest team of snowy matched horses
that money can procure in Kansas, and
drives along Kansas avenue of an even
ing with a magnificent outfit that must
have cost, horses, carriages and all a cool
81, 900.
He has generously put his hand in his
pocket and handed out 500, unsolicited,
to purchase new uniforms for the Topeka
base ball team.
This is the way Dr. Brownfeld adver-
tises. but the Sportsman desires to add
from positive knowledge, that he keeps
the confidence of the afflicted public be-
cause he is skillful and knows how to
treat their diseases. ne CEOWuS "a pa
tients that throng his office daily go there
because they know he can cure their all
ments.
DR.. Brownfield, to relieve himself of
unnecessary labor, and to get little
needed rest, is now organizing the
"BrownfieId Medical company" with
capital of $4,000. Some of the wealth
lest men in Topeka are connected with
with the company. It will be strong
concern.
The purpose of this company is to
manufacture in enormous quantities the
popular medicines now sold by DR.,
BrownfeId. They will within a short
time be on sale with every druggist in
| Kansas and throughout the United
| States.
Topeka has been very fortunate in Sc
curing DIR. Brownield as a resident, with
| his restless enterprise, dash and lavish
expenditure of money. He works hard
and he spends his money like prince
| A good deal of his large revenue is ex-
pended by him in deeds of charity.
| We believe that DR.. Brownfeld can do
almost anything he takes a notion to do
We really believe if the well-nigh de-
| funct State Fair association would elect
| DR.. Brownfield president he could go to
work and put that moribund affair on a
paying basis
The fair people. we believe, should Sc
riously consider this suggestion. Mid
land Sportsman.

TO PLASTER THE STATE HOUSE.

This Will Be the First Work Done on the
New Part.
State Architect Holland is drawing up
the specifications for plastering the new
part of the state house and the contract
will be let as soon as the board of public
works c4n advertise and receive the bids
The first work to be done is the plas-
tering and putting in the window frames
This will be done before any of the
rooms are finished. Then the board will
give its attention to finishing the COVER
nor's apartments and the new supreme
court room which will be in the new
wing.
Further plans have not been made and
when the work mapped out is done it
will probably be too late to do more this
season.
