EVENTS OF TODAY

A wonan's attractiveness in the eyes of
man depends largely on her physical ap-
pearance. Nature, in order to preserve the
race. guides mankind by the instructive
preference for mate who is physically
sound and wholesome.
If intellect alone were chiefly sought, the
offspring might be generation OF Solo
mons for wisdom, but they would perish
in infancy for want of physical stamina.
A weak or unhealthy woman is united TO
fulfil her part in perpetuating the race; she
is unequal to the demands of motherhood
and wifehood, she is robbed OF her natural
womanly attractiveness.
MANY woman is cheated of life's choicest
gifts by a dyspeptic, bile-poisoned eondi-
ton of the system, which shows itself IN a
pimply skin, sallow complexion, tainted
breath or thin ungraceful form.
The most perfect remedy for all the morti-
fying symptoms of mal-nutrition and I'M.
pure blood is DR.. PIECES Golden Medical

slider his action in resigning the presi-
dency of the institution was seen at the
Murray Hill hotel at New York, Friday.
He said he had not decided to accept
the offer of the presidency of the Cos

had he yet prepared his answer to the
resolution adopted by the trustees of
Brown. With reference TO the former
matter he should see Mr. John Brishen
