 world, Almost every woman believes that she possesses at least some one attractive feature and strives to make the most of that. But mere regularity of feature is not the most attractive form of beauty.
 Mankind is more influenced by the bright glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic cast of countenance will not make woman attractive and captivating, if she is pale, thin, weak and nervous, or has pi1nply complexion or unwholesome breath.
 These complaints are due to imperfect nutrition. The digestive and blood making organs fail to extract the needed nourish- ment from the food, and the liver is too slug gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri- ties. The entire constitution becomes weak and poisoned.
 The only perfect antidote for this state of things is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery It gives power to the digestive and nutritive organs to make an abundance of pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which perneates the whole system with the sweet ness of purity; the beauty of wonanly vigor and animation.
 It creates solid, healthy flesh and natural color; clears the complexion dispels wrink- les; rounds out the form and imbues the whole physique with the irresistible natural magnetism of perfect health
 Miss Julia Ellis. of Faith, Mclean co., Ky, writes: "After suffering for long while with lingering disease, Twas advised to try Dr. Pierces medicines. l took seven bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription and found relief Life is now no longer burden to me. Iweigh I2o pounds. Ayear ago weighed sa pounds. shall praise Dr. Pierce's medicines wherever I go feel better than ever before. My health was very much impaired, and feel that owe great deal to your wonderful riedI- ! you for the advice which you so kindly gave me while taking your medicines

Will be again exhibited t0.nigh:
aud tomorrow night and MatimeeS

Of program for each time.
OF the many wonderful inven,
tiOnS Of the Wizard Edison, the
NltaScope is perhaps the most
wonderful. ,
To enter into II minute deScrip-
ton of the VitaScope would
require a great deal Of space
more than The COURIER can
well give in this issue. The life
like figures that are thrown upon
the canvas are as realistic as
nature itself. The dashing waters
Of the Niagara, the rapid motions
of the prize fighter and the leap
ing of flames are reprOduced'In a
marvelously realistic manner.
The Vitascope consists OF an
arrangement of lens behind which
is all arc light of 1000 candle
power. The pictures to be repro
duced are photographed on kline
toscOpe films and each photograph
Is not much larger than an English
pea,
There are two thousand seven
hundred separate photographs on
a film of fifty feet in length. The
film passes over a series of wheels
that are propelled very rapidly
by electricity and as the photo
graph passes the large lens the
focused light of the arc lamp
throws the picture through the
small lens upon the screen, mag
nified six hundred times. The
rapidity with which the photo
graphs are changed produces the
picture of an object prof thousands
of objects in lire like motion.
The Vitascope has never been
exhibited in HOuma before and as
Prof. Rock has the sole right OF
exhibiting the Vitascope in the
Southern States, the people OF
this town aud parish may not have
