THE MONTH OF ROSES.

May is called the month OF flowers,
because under the increasing heat OF
the sun, vegetation blossoms rapidly
and lends its varied hues to beautify
the landscape.
During this month also there are
usually disturbances in the human
body. Winter diet, the foul air Of
close rooms and insufficient exercise
have left the system full of impurities,
which, under the influence of warm
weather manifest themselves In bill
iousness, tired feelings, saliowness,
sluggish brain, nervousness, indiges-
ton, loss OF sleep. These SYMPTOMS
are only forerunners of more serious
| diseases sure to follow, unless meas
ures are taken to purify and strength
en- the vital organs. At this season
the cleansing regulating and strength.
ening properties Of PRIcKLY ASH
BITTERs are particularly appropriate.
It is four medicines in one. A kidney
tonic, liver regulator, stomach stimu'
liant and bowel purifier. A few doset
taken when the annoying bilious
symptoms appear will strengthen and
tone up the system and enable the
body to pass through the heat of sum
mer unaffected by the diseases com
mon to the season. Sold by U. A

THE FOUR SEASONS.
As Viewed by the Doctor, Rather
Than the Artist.

We often see in the magazines re-
productions of famous paintings
representing the four seasons. They
are generally personated by beautiful
women, and the typical spring Is gen.
orally a young girl. She is buoyant
and elastic, her eyes are full Of fire,
her form lissom and graceful. Her
cheeks flush with health and there
breathes from the canvas the impress
ion of radiant health.
1t is true, we sometimes see our
young women in such a state of health
in the spring-time; but it is the ex-
ception. Depression and languor are
generally in evidence and the droop-
ing, listless figure of the school girl,
the dragging step of the housewife,
are seen in nearly every home. Per-
feet health is rare in any season, but
this is especially so in the spring. The
great majority of the people need a
tonic in the spring. There are a great
many tonics and they are all taken by
WV PoSRAS " 6ANaSCA Va 0bo SAtChbs
But the one that SEEM most popular
at this time of the year Is Pe-ru-na.
1t strengthens the weary body, invig-
crates the nerves and clears the mind.
1t leaves no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn when it is discontinued. The fact
Of the efficacy of Pe-ru-na as a spring
tonic is becoming more widely known
every spring. More Pe-ru-na is being
taken this spring than ever before.
The people have learned that it is un-
failing, and SO do not experiment, but
Immediately buy Pe-ru-na when the
old fistiessness of 'sspring fever''
overtakes them.
Anyone who desires DIR. Hartman's
latest book on this and kindred sub
jects may obtain one free by address,

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney RENE
dy, fulflls every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pass
ages. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use Of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and extraordinary ef-
feet of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distre ssing cases. II
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price if-
ty cents and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and a pamph-
let both sent free by mail. Mention
the Mexico LEDGER and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bling

paper guarantee the ge%nuineness OF

Air Ship Seen at Vandalia.

correspondence OF Lu6 Ltuker-
VANDALIA, Mo-, April 2s.-For sew
eral moons past it has been whispered
about that jovial Joe Lennon, a wide
awake widower, formerly residing 3
miles north of here, was DON to wed
the relict of Frank Butler. Time pass
ed on, but to avoid a charivari party
this lovable couple hied themselves
off to old Pike, the home of Joe
Bowers, and we're wed. Coming back
to the home of the bride in this city
at the tswee small hours" of last night
they found tho eossipara on tho alert,
and in the twiHkling of an eye crowds
of a charivari party discovered the
air ship. Following up it's course they
finally brought up under the very
window of the newly made pair. Here
amid the confusion of many merry
makers the crowd lost sight of the air
ship and began to implead with the
Jolly Joe to hand down a bundle OF
cigars and q few slices of his wedding
cake, but to their everlasting disap-
pointment he refused to yield to theii
entreaties and 30 they pursued the all
ship until Old Sol had shown up in the
east, when it was discovered that thu
air ship had settled in the very center
| of Central Park and turned out to b,

brought the welded party into oul

RUSH HILL, Mo-, April 26.-We see

very unkind thrust at the Rush Hill

of men, boys and little negroes tina

grounds Monday to see the priz'
fight, one would think the Rush Hi
women weren't in it." Now we dom
know what this "learned" gentleman
means by the Crush Hill women be

is, that the ladies of Rush Hill ar
highly indignant at the thrust tina
was so unjustly made at them, TO
they are ladies' in every sense of tn
. word; ladies in all that the word lad
implies. None of them have ever ha
8 a fight or rushed out with q crowd o
"iittle negroes to see one. They ar
