tried on various occasions to be fit

ever gave any such ease to my eyes

for my wife, he has done something
most wonderful, as all our friends
know. She has been suffering,in va
rious ways, never being free of
headache, always more or less ner-
vous, in fact generally weak. She
was told by specialists that if she
were fitted with glasses, that it
would relieve her head trouble, which
includes dizziness, but the glasses so
fitted failed to give the desired re-
lief, in fact she could not wear them
at all with any comfort Since DR..
Harraes examined her eyes, and
made her a pair of glasses, the i'm
provement started from the mo-
ment she pnt them on. And altho'
only eight days have elapsed since
she had them fitted, she feels better

The disease was very prevalent ut that
time in the village where resided,
nearly everyone being sick with 1t.
Our doctors treated it as best they could.
but were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment Of 1t. As soon as my family were
taken sick went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles Of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took 1t according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent In the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
Mrs. A. Thornton-Cincinnatl's Leading
Dermatologist-Her Methods and Her
SuccesseS-A Sketch of Her Life.

1t is an omen of good times, when
Negroes are found conducting legiti =
mate places of business. It makes no
difference by which sex this business
Is conducted. But few women of the
race are conducting good paying estab.
lishments throughout the country, and
we are pleased to note these women are
advising others to do the same. We
find them conducting dry goods estab'
lishments; grocery stores, millinery
emporiums, restaurants, in fact we find
them In all paying enterprises.
The city OF Cincinnati is blessed in
having as one Of its citizens, Mrs. A.
Thornton, who, from poor Kentucky
girl, has risen to commanding posi-
ton in her profession Mrs. Thornton
to day has the largest Dermatology
Parlor in Cincinnati. and she has sue
ceeded admirably. Mrs. Thornton was
born a slave in the state of Kentucky
in 1855, and was thus held until eman
cipation. But rather than let slavery
or the spirit thereof serve as draw
back to her; she made 1t an incentive.
Her lie az girl was just az the others
of those times. When she emerged
from that physical thraldom, she be-
gan business. At that time she knew
not how many ounces were In pound.
but by persistent efforts and hard work
she is the successful master of several
branches Of her profession, and is an
authority therefor. Mrs. Thornton is
aekn woledged as the leading scalp spe'
eialist in Cincinnati. Her parlors will
measure in point of neatness, comfort,
and apparata, with any Of the larger
cities. She works constantly for the
success which Is hers to claim. Her
reputation lie knowns further away than
her town limits. The work she is do
ing might have been done by others,
but she saw an opening; she beheld an
opportunity by which she could hon.
estJy make a living and accumulate
something for all time. That she gives
satisfaction In her profession; that she
makes q success is vouched for from the
fact, that she is steadily employed.
