THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLY DIscovEREDRE REM
ECIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
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 itsgreat
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 on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late Address
T. A. Slocum M. c., % Pine street, New
York. and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
land Journal.

Mss Laughlin's Triumph Il,

Mss LauGhlin's Triumph at Cornell.
The ''co-eds" of Cornell have waited
ong for their triumph. 1t is no WON
Ter that they looked with rapt admira-
lion upon Miss Abigail H. Laughlin,
who vanquished and routed the mere
male students who have dared to treat
The "co-eds" with disdain, and even
with contumely. The young woman
1ot only defeated varsity man in the
memorial prize debate, but she has
oeen selected as one of eight out Of
1000 students to make the final test of
excellence. She is the only woman
who has ever gained this distinction
n Cornell. The men do not know
what to think about 1t. The idea of
Sage College student being chosen as
one of the eight immortals never en-
tered the head of a male student.
They would have thought as serious
ly about putting girl on the varsity
foot ball team or in the crew. Miss
Laughlin is a graduate of Wellesley
College and a remarkably brilliant
young woman. She entered the law de-
partment at Cornell and will be grad
nated this year. she founded the de-
batting society "Agara" at Cornell, and
1t speedily commanded respect.

treasurer of the National Council of
Women of the United States, and at

Mrs. Stevens, from the time of the
crusade, has been one of Miss Wizards
stanchest, most loyal and helpful allies,
and during Miss Wizards enforced abb
sences from this country, and her fire.
quent Withdrawals from public partici-
patton in w. C. T. U. affairs, it has
been her delight and desire to carry
out Miss Willard's wishes as far as
possible.
1t is eminently fitting that now that
noble leader has fallen, her official
mantle should rest on the shoulders Of
so worthy disciple.
Mrs. Stevens is the woman picked
by Miss Willard to succeed her in the
presidency n the case of her death
while she was in office. Her title Is
vice-president at large. She was elect
ed to the Office four years ago, and the
Office was created at that time at the
suggestion of Miss Willard, who in
sisted that provisicn should be made
for an emergency like the present
mournful one.
Mrs. Stevens is woman suffragist.
She always supported Miss Willard in
her campaigns along this line. Her
husband is with her in this sentiment.
Her home is in Dover, and she has
lived there for fifty-four years. The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has had her services for about twenty
five years, and the women have learned
to know that she maans business when
she talks. She is a lioness-as a
strong, sturdy, powerful minded, de-
termined man might be called a lion.
Miss Willard had intrusted a great
deal of the active Work for many years
to Mrs. Stevens, and she will step into
the place with ample practical expert
ence. The union feels that the first
mate has been made captain. She
knows the ship and the waters thor
oughly, and has one daughter who is
with her in the work.
