One case among many thousands is thus described by MT. F. X. Chatel of Manchester, N. H.
 My daughter, Miss Amelia, was very much troubled with irregular and abnormal menstruation. She suffered very much. Having heard of Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, she was induced to try it. She took three or four bottles, and the benefit she derived was of a flat tering nature. I would cheerfully rec ommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to anyone afflicted as was my daughter"
 Besides the diseases and derange- ments peculiar to women, nervousness Is the cause of, many complaints com mon to both sexes and all ages. Dr. Greene's Nervura is the standard rem edy for all affections of the blood and nerves. Under it's magic influence phy- sical and mental health are promptly and permanently restored, and life again becomes worth living. You should prepare your system for the trying spring months by using Dr. Greene's Nervura now.
 Dr. Greene welcomes consultations personally or by letter at his office, 35 West 14th street, New York City. Consultation and advice are free.

"IHE LOST ATLANTIS"
Subject of an Interesting Lecture by Vol
 ney B. Cushing.

Subject of an Interesting Lecture by Vol
 ney B. CGshing.
 Under the auspices of the W. c. T.. U. at the First Baptist church, last night, Volney B. Cushing of Bangor, Me-, delivered an instructive and en- tertaining lecture on "The Lost At lantis.'
 Mrs Merrill, well known in temper ance circles, made an opening prayer, after which Miss Sigourney favored the large audience with two violin solos.
 Mr. Gushing was then introduced by Mrs. Leeds.
 |, He spoke for about an hour and a quarter telling the story as given by Plato of the great island in the At lantic ocean off the coast of Africa, which, according to tradition, was overwhelmed and submerged in a day and a night, more than 5000 years be- fore the time of Plato. The island is of the Azore islands He said that sev- | eral years ago an investigation was made by the governments of the United States and England and which evil denced that there was a great sub- | merged continent under the sea with l high mountain ranges. He claimed | and gave many excellent proofs that | the submerged land was at one time a great continent extending to Africa and to South America. It Is believed | to have been the connecting link be- | tween the old and new world and the | means by which the animals, the fossil remains of which are found on the American continent passed from conti- nent to continent. It was the home of a wealthy and warlike people who not 1 only existed in great numbers, but whose kingdom extended to other parts | of the world In South America great ruined cities have recently been dis covered, over which vast forests now
 exist. He also said that the tradition
 of the deluge probably originated from
 the great earthquakes and the tida | waves.
 The speaker was at various times
 enthusiastically applauded and man, expressed the hope that he would givt
 another lecture here in the near flu ture.

WALlINGFoRD NEVIS.

Tn one of the most scientific exhibi- tions of polo ever seen in Wallingford the Hartford team defeated the Wal lingfords by the score of 5 to 1 last night. The game was witnessed by at least seven hundred people, who, all though supporters of Wallingford, were loud in their praise of the work of the Hartfords. Excellent judgment in passing and rapid driving tell the story of the victory and defeat. It seemed to be an off night for the rushers of the defeated team, as their usual brilliant work was lacking. To this may be at tributed the small score made by the Wallingfords.
 Beside being scientific the game was free from the usual roughness, and nc fouls were called because of it. Fouls however, were allowed against Hough- ton and Devlin for striking the bal with their hands. During intermissior Curley, goal tender of the Wallingfor6 team, was presented by Referee Leahy with gold ring. It was present from some of his many admirers. The positions and summary are as follows Hartford. Position. Wallingford

Cordial Words from Thankful People who Have Been Restored to Health.

American women have more than their share of the burdens and troubles of life. Household anxieties and so- cial responsibilities are a constant strain upon the nerves and weaken and derange the delicate female organism. Women who work in stores and facto- ries are peculiarly susceptible to nerv- ous affections. The complaints which affiict a majority of American women, and sadden their lives, are mostly of nervous origin or because of poor blood, and may be quickly and perma- nently cured by the proper medicine.
