Senator Frank IPlumley, of Mortified,

fore the people of the State of Vermont

lawyer by profession, he was elected
to the House of Representa- tiveS in 1882.

ronage of the U. S. Government), has
been Trustee of Montpelier Seminary,
Chairman of the Republican State Con-
vention 1885, Delegate at large to the
Republican National Convention in 1888,
was United States ATTORNEY for Vermont
1889 to 1894, and is now State Senator.
Senator Plumlev is well-knOwn thrOu-
ghOut the United States having been Sc
lected by the National Republican Com
mittee speaker to stump the State of
Michigan for Blaine in 1884, and again in
1888 and 1892 he spoke through the West
for the Republican presidential candidate.
When he came out of the presidential
campaign in '92 owing to Overwork he
was almost a complete nervous wreck.
To our representative the Senator said.
s'In the fall of 1892 came out of the
presidential campaign with my nervous
system almost broken.
REST and ordinary remedies did not
assist me. Some of my personal friends
advised ue to take a course of DR..
Greene's medicines, which / did with
entire success
Il use DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy for that exhaustion caused
by long continued mental work, and
think well of it.
We understand that Senator Plumley's
cure is radical and complete, and while
we congratulate the popular Senator Oh
his recovery, we cannot but add that this
is distinct triumph for that marvellous
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, which, owing to the
high standing of Senator Plumley, and
the fact that he is 50 widely known, will
give DR.. Geene's Nervura great boom.
The remedy deserves it, for it is in
truth a most wonderful curer of disease,
a restorative and invigoratOr which
stands at the present day without rival
in making peoble well remedy which
is always sure to cure, to give health and
strength, to make whoever uses it strong
and vigorous.
This most valuable remedy is not a
patent medicine and shonld not be class
ed as such, for it is the discovery and
prescription of one of our leading spec
ialsts in nervous and chronic diseases,
DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple Place, Boston,
Mass. The doctor gives an added value
to his great remedy by allowing all who
desire to consult him without charge,

A prolific source of indigestion, ir-
ritability and anamia among children
is to be found in the character of the
lunches they eat at school. In the
country, where the distances are
great, many children are obliged al
ways to take lunches with them. This
too often consists Of cake, pastry and
preserves, TO the exclusion Of more
digestible and nutritious food. It is,
as a rule, eaten in haste, that time for
play may not be encroached upon,
is washed down with large draughts
of cold water. Too often such lunches
are not adapted to the needs of a
growing child, and the haste with
which they are eaten adds to their
pernicious tendency. In the city, al
though the conditions are quite diff
ferent, the school lunch plays an i'm
portant part in depicting the health
of many children. Parents are fire.
quently extremely unwise in allowing
their children to remain at school
during the lunch hour when it is not
necessary. They would be far better
for the exercise of walking to and
from school, as well as for a warm
and properly prepared lunch.

The Council of the Church of Eng
land Temperance Society have sub :
mitted a scheme to their various
branches, in which they invite all the
members to concentrate their efforts
on the following reforms: to remove
clubs and friendly societies from pub
lie houses; to do away with statute
fairs, village feasts, hirings and MODS,
or to remove the temptations to in
temperance connected with them; to
reform the drinking customs which
so largely prevail at marriages, bur
ials and public gatherings, especially
the drinking of toasts and healths;
and to discourage the practice of Civ
ing beer to servants, tradesmen and
messengers; and to discourage the
practice of treating to drinks, wheth-
er for service done or in commercial
transactions.

with the Mount Lebanon Shakers The whole
scientific world has been laboring to cure
dyspepsia, but every effort seemed to meet
with defeat. The suffering from stomach
trou bles has become almost universal. Null

they do eat causes them pain and distress.
Sleepless nights are the rule and not the ex-

WOMEN IN MEDICINE.

Professor Albert of the University
of Vienna has published pamphlet
in which he argues that women ought
not to be encouraged to enter the
medical profession. He declares that
her proper sphere is maternity, and
that although the study of medicine
is possible to her, it can not repay for
the immense pains it costs to master
it. She is, he says, for the most part
physically incapable of practically
pursuing the profession, so that the
torture of the many years required to
master it is usually thrown away and
goes unrewarded. The zoon politicon,
he holds, the methodical being, the
animal of culture, is exc lusively the
male. But he admits that the qualiti-
cations which women undo niably pos
sess for dealing with the sick may be
utilized in another way. He proposes
to make women who have received
a certain amount of education the
regular assistants of physicians and
surgeons in hospitals as we'll as out of
O1IOAh. NJ oHiO Pun POSO my OhOoiN
receive instruction in the elements
of anatomy, physiology, hygiene,
chemistry and natural science, and
this should be followed by theoretical
and practical instruction, say for
couple of terms, in surgery, .gen@col-
ogy and midwifery. They would then
be qualified to be doctors assistants,
and be distinguished from the present
class Of imperfectly instructed mid
wives and nurses VINO have no scien-
tific knowledge. Such medical ed
ucation, he says, would open an hon
orable calling to thousands of women,
while doctors would have the sort of
assistants of which they how stand in
urgent need.

USES OF HOT WATER.

AS boon to womankind half the
uses of hot water are not generally
known. AS a promoter of beauty or
the health, which is beauty, the use
of it within and without is highly rec
commended by one who knows of
what she speaks.
A cupful of hot water taken before
breakfast, with little lemon added,
and the same before retiring, is very
eficacious in keeping the system in
good condition.
A hot bath taken frequently keeps
the skin in an excellent condition, land
is an infallible cure for WEAKNESS.
Coming in tired, if you can just dis
robe quickly, jumping into hot bath
and then into bed for twenty minutes,
ening afterward of dissipation will
scarcely be noticed.
Too many take too long for these
things. The bath must be taken
quickly. When you lie down relax
every muscle and make up your mind
to sleep.
The skin is so seriously affected by
the condition of the stomach that
great care should be taken to keep
this organ in perfect working order.
For bruises hot applications will be
found to dissipate the black look in a
short time.
For headaches of all kinds hot wa
ter will reach the spot sooner than
anything else.
In fact, it is invaluable, and it's uses
are legion.
How TO PRESERVE A PIANo.-The
lumber material is highly seasoned,
and is therefore sensitive to extreme
or violent changes of atmosphere.
Avoid them in every way. Avoid
dampness, as that causes strings and
turning pins to rust and the glue in
exposed pl aces to soften, all of which
impair the quality Of tone.
Be careful not to drop any small ar
ticle, like pin, between the keys or
into the action. 1t may lodge where
it will produce a jingle or Earring
sound The instrument is not respon-
sible for that.
Sometimes the keys turn purple or
blue, and this is caused usually by ink
from the fingers of the performer.
Use alcohol and wooden RAG and re-
move it as quickly as possible.
To prevent moths from eating felt
and cloth, put lump of camphor in
side, near the action, occasionally re-
newing it.
New pianos should be tuned every
three or four months for the first year,
after that at longer intervals.

Friends. Temperance conference.

Friends Temperance conference.
At the Temperance Conference held In
Friends Westinghouse last Fifth day
evening, the exercises were opened by
reading the 91st Psalm, followed by q
paper upon Hereditary Effects of
Intemr erance," after which there was an
interesting discussion, many believing
that the appetite for strong drink Is
inherited, and where the temptation is on
every hand, it is 30 bard for them to
resist. Then wouldn't it be wise to
remove the temptation by law, than let
these weak ones stumble and fall ?
"Tte Lighthouse" was recited very
nicely by one of our boys. The "History
of the License System and its Effect upon
our Country" was next taken up. 1t
was shown that the system originated
with boy, Edward vi, King of England,
who died when but 16 years old-in the
10Th century. This, with other Eugllsh
laws, was adopted by the colonies, many
of which have been dropped long ago.
This one is so imbedded in the old political
parties that it stays. In the discussion
that followed it was said that If the four
million voters in the Christian churches
would stand together and say the license
81 stem must 60, it would 60.
There were two pictures shown, one
the Statue of Light" representing the
statue at New York harbor shedding its
light upon all who came in contact with
it, likened unto a sober and industrious
person working for the cause of humanity.
The other the "Statue of Darkness''-
the saloon man mounted on his pile of
barrels with his license in one hand and
bottle in the other, which sends forth
no light but much darkness and woe,
ga Life Time too Late" was recited,
also IF We Knew Each Other Better"
The meeting closed after a short
silence. There was quite large audi
ence considering the many other meetings
that week. G.
