of this preservation Is one that all
women should know; it surely is more
charming for the world to gaze upon &
fresh youthful face than upon shriv-
eled one, and upon an abundance o!
locks than upon too scanty a growth
to even cover the head. Begin the day
with a cold or tepid sponge bath, fol

rough towel. This starts the circula-

The Terrible Warning Left a SUBJ

Book Agent.

A gentleman of this city who has
not much time for reading, yet Is
kind-hearted and particularly suscep-
tible to the pleadings Of the gentler
sex, was recently approached by a
lady who is acting as subscription
agent for a new publication. When
the subscription list was presented to
him the gentleman would have liked
to decline to purchase, as he did not
wish the volume, but the lady was
persistent and he was weak, and he
put down his name, hoping that for
tune would find for him some way out
Of the difficulty, says the Baltimore
News.
Later the lady called to deliver the
book and to collect the money. but he
had contrived to be out. And every
time afterward when she appeared he
managed to be out, until finally her pa
thence became exhausted and she left
for his perusal this note:
"By the relentless Intervention Of
the invisible hand of Providence have
been prevented from delivering your
book, but would not for a moment
have you doubt the moveless stability
and fathomless profundity of my de-
termination, for the f1ammeriferous,

A darby remedy that was once upon
a time very popular among the ladies
of the southern aristocracy afflicted
with hay fever was tea made of the
husks of green corn. 1t was widely
used in Alabama. Tennessee, the Caro-
l,nas and in Arkansas. with very little
beneficial results, however. Finally
the doctors opposed it very strongly
en- the ground that the decoction con-
tanned ergot, and for the last decade
it has fallen into disuse in localities
where il WAS considered to be the
elixir OF life of the hay fever victims.

THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.

AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEND FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EDIEs TO CURE Reconstruction

EDI6S ~ COHE CONSOMP HON
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1888 Pearl street. New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has OH file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
