MEDICINAL.

Women get plenty of sympathy after they
re dead. Tom Hood made very pathetic
picture in his Bridge of Sighs," but the
probabilities are that the woman needed
bynpathy great deal more before she died
than she did afterwards. Thousands of wo-
men are enduring much worse things thu
desth. The most distressing thing about it
sll is that it is needless.
Uterine troubles are considered well-nigh
iscuraole. Women seem TO think that they
must 20 on bearing these things forever. To
be sure some OF them make an effort to ge-
yell By going TO their physicians. but thou.
sands are deferred from this, both because
thev have seen that it was not likely 10 do
much good, and because they knew that the
frat thing the physician would insist upon
would be the examinations and local treat
nept so Justly abhorrent to every modest
s.ouau. These things are generally as un-
necessary as they are distasteful. Every
woman can be made strong and healthy by
the use of DR.. Pierce's FavoTite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is most marvellous medicine for
al forms OF female weakness and disease

acts directly on one set of organs, and on no
other, but in doing this. it frequently cures
troubles that were seemingly of an entirely
different character and origin. a disorder
OF the distinctly feminine organs is likely 10
cause all sorts OF symptoms, ana careless
doctors frequently doctor women for neural
zia, OF dyspepsia, or insomnia, when the real
trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine.
Dr.. Pierce's F2vorite Prescription will make

has run on so long that the entire system is
dc5ilitated it is necessary to use in conuec-
,:on with the Prescription, Dr. Pierce's

equal in the world. There is no case so
severe that these two great medicines will

A BATH OF ANT .

There are few diseases for whici
there are SO many o.called "cures" ei
rh .unatism. A Frenca sc enlist has
ueen exp rimenting with bees and ants
rs remedy for this affection, and
claims to have discovered, ifnot COM
plete antidote, al least strong pallia-
tive.
He knew that certain Indian tribes
from time immemorial have been &C.
customed to treat rheumatism with the
sting of b es. The sufferer is exposed
TO a swarm of bees, which, on being
reused 10 anger, attack the sick person
| with great fury. 1t has been found
that no matter how severe the rheu.
matism, it generally disappears by the
time the bees stings have subsided.
The French savant thereupon made
careful analysis of the poison, or irri.
tant fluid, injected by the bee, and
found that it contained large per cent.
of formic acid. Now, formic is present
in considerable quantities in the bodies
o. ants, aud during his researches
the French physicians attention
WAS Cdlltu W CuIiOuS NuSSldu Gu .
tom, which showed him that his discov
cry, while new from a scientific point
OF view, had been known and applied
in crude way in the land of the Gar
for many years. Especially about en-
vrops of Moscow, the peasants attack
ed with rheumatism treat themselves to
an ant bath.
This novel bath is prepared in the
following fashion: A person goes in
search of an ants nest, and when he
finds one, puts into linen bag the ants,
their eggs, and necessarily considerable
dirt. Returning to the house, he
plunges into the hot water OF the bath
his bag CT imprisoned an 8 After few
minutes the water gives of a strong,
penetrating odor Of iormic ecid. Tie
bath is then ready, ard the patient is
put in if. Such bath has a very &C.
tive irrtant action on the skin, whence
results sort of counter irritation that
causes the rheumatic pains to disap
pear.
Thus farther the results of the French
doctors experiments with ordinary
formic acid have been favorable, and be
does not regard the use of ants or bee
stings as being at all essential to the
preparation or application of the rem

 Lieutenant Oliver Edwards acted as best man and Lieutenant l.. B. Mo Graw acted as usher Miss Virginia Davidson, in a modish gown of black crepon, finished in green velvet, with hat to correspond, led the way to the altar accompanied by Lieutenant Nc Graw. The maid of honor, Miss Cora Wise, gowned becomfngly in a dark blue boucle cloth, trimmed in fur, and large hat with punches of pink roses followed alone. The brides mother Mrs. xBray, came next, with Dr. F. K Ainsworth, and lastly the pretty bride on the arm of her step-father, MT Gorham A. Bray.
 The bride was attired in a stylish gown of hehotrope novelty cheviot with a vest of Persian cloth and fin ished in bands of fur on the lapels ot
