SKILLFUL WOMAN'S PHYSICIAN.

In the treatment of woman's special
ills, the ordinary doctor is generally at
sea. To treat her peculiar maladies
successfully requires the skill and expe-
reince of genuine specialist.
To cure the particular maladies such
as falling or prolapsus, decorations, Ill
cerations, displacements, suppressed
and painful periods, ETC., demands the
use of true scientific methods intelli-
gently and skillfully applied. Great
numbers of women of all ages who at
one time, despaired of ever being cured,
are today in perfect health and sound
in body, as the result of having con-
suited the well known specialist who
has faithfully paid regular visits to
Wausau, Wis. for the last six years
We refer to DIR. Louis NJ. Turbin, who
enjoys the reputation of being the
leader in the ranks of specialists OF
Chicago. in the treatment of chronic
diseases of every nature.
The secret of Dr. Turbin's success lies
in the fact that he has the combined
knowledge of the wonderful curative
properties of special remedies and OF
original positive methods of his own
discovery for the unnatural conditions
His special treatments for female
weakness, disorders of function, lacera.
tons, etc, enable him to quickly cure
the worst form of those affections with
out pain and suffering Dr. Turbin
does not come to us as stranger making
great claims that can not be fulfilled, but
he has been with us with perfect regu.
larity for so many years and has
demonstrated his skill so plainly that
all have good and sufficient reason fol
trusting in his ability to cure. Those
women who have failed to find the skill
necessary to cure them OF who are
suffering in silence, martyr-like, should
take their physical troubles to him in
perfect confidence and assurance thai
they will be cured.
DR.. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day, Jan. 20 at the Bells House.

SALE A SUCCESS.

When the ladies of St. Johns church
conceived the idea of holding rum
mage sale they hit upon bright idea,
as has been proven by the success that
it met with. The result was that all the
old articles that had been thrown in
garretS and vacant corners, there con-
signed as being of little further use to
the owners, has been resurrected, if we
may use the term, placed on sale, dis
posed of and money added to the treas
ury of the church. The new store
building of Gottlieb Anderas on Scott
street, where the sale was held, was
crowded with purchasers from the
start, and nearly every article was
purchased by these visitors. The col
lection of articles was quaint and varied,
and although very low price was put
upon each, yet some were worth great
many times the amount asked. Al
though nearly everything was old
fashioned and out of date, yet all could
be put to practical use in a home.
IuSIS was Culud "dIO, glass WdIC,
wearing apparel, furniture, and in fact
articles too numerous to mention. The
ladies worked faithfully and diligently
and demonstrated that they could hold
their own with the best of statesmen.
| The merchants have donated quite lib
orally to this sale.
A certain citizen thinks he has good
grounds for divorce from his wife as a
result of this sale. His wife in rum
maging the house for articles, found an
old bouquet, beautiful once, but which
had long lain withered, and inadvert-
emily placed the same with other articles
on sale Her husband visited the place
next day and lady, beaming with
smiles, blanGly asked him to purchase
the same, not knowing that it had once
been in his possession. He at once rec
ognized it for it had been presented to
him years ago by former sweetheart.
He did not hesitate a minute in pur-
chasing it.
A youngster purchased a long green
artificial snake and brought home, the
sight of which caused some of the men,
bers of the household to think they had
'em. Taken all in allsthe sale is most
pronounced success and the same will
| last for several days yet.

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain,
David Gam. was sent forward by
Henry V to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle of Agincourt,
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about five to one. His
report to the king is historic:
There are enough to he killed.
enough 70 be taken prisoners. and

italian Translation.

DIR. Henry j. Bigelow, the eminent
Boston surgeon, was very fond of mu-
sic and knew something of it theoret-
ically-enough, at least, to carry in his
head the tunes he liked. Street mu-
sicians were used to his requests for
repeating a melody, but in one case he
had some difficulty in tracing song
when he wished to procure it for him.

His quick ear had caught new air
upon a hand organ, ana he at once
, asked the Italian grinder it's name.
The man could not speak a word of
English, and it was only with difficulty
that Dr. Bigelow learned the title of
the tune and wrote it Silva
Tredi Mon Digo."
Then he went to a music shop and
set the clerk upon it's trail.
Nobody could guess what it might
be, and one Italian collection after an
other was overhauled until at last all
the clerks in the shop were brought
into requisition. Finally one of them

THIRD ENTERTAIN EMIT.

The third of the series of the 7. Nj. G..
A. entertainments was given at the
Grand Opera House on Friday evening
to large audience. The theme was
''The Bashful Man" and the lecturer,
Mr. Charles Pierce Burton, of Aurora,
Illinois.
A brief synopsis can not do justice to
Mr.. Burton's lecture. 1t was filled to
the brim with quaint and original
humor, bubbling out in unexpected
places, interspersed with solid thought
and uplifting sentiment. The speaker
began with the advent of the bashful
man into the world "blushing'' and
taking him as u type carried him with
various digressions through the vicissi-
tudes of social life until ST. Peter finds
him lingering bashfully outside the
"Pearly Gates" whereupon that sim
petuous and just Saint throws open
wide the portals, grasps him by the
hand and leads him into the midst OF
Paradise" He described humorously
the bashful man in history, in society,
in the presence of women, shopping,
getting married, carving, growing
bald, etc.
Not the least pleasing part of the lee.
ture was where Mr.. Burton had fun
with the ladies, throwing them alter
nately verbal bouquets and snow balls
in bewildering profusion, because he
explained woman is the great cause OF
mans baShfulness, and we must con
slider her" He described her as com
posite flower, beautiful as the rose
and as full of briars. Her persistency
is that of the dandelion. No willow
surpasses her in grace or sensitive
plant in emotion. She is as clinging as
the sweet pea and as dainty-as pepperJ
as the nasturtium. In short, ex
claimed the speaker, rising TO his sub
ject, sis she not a daisy? Even like the
lilies of the field, for Solomon in all hi!
glory was not arrayed like one o.
these"
In It's serious parts the lecture was 6
protest against excessive commercial
SIN and plea for beauty and senti
ment and character, which the speaker
declared to be after all the most practi
cal things in life. Real wealth lies il
mind and that harmony of mind calico
character. An appreciation of the true
and the beautiful is better than mil
lions. The greatest men and womer
are not the greatest accumulators O.

Though Grover has spoken tardily
he has spoken truly. And perhaps his
utterances following and supporting
those of ex-president Harrison may help
tn arrest the mad, head-long, and heed
less rush Of the republican party after
that will-o-the- wisp which their false
prophets have dubbed Destiny" Yes,
perhaps. And yet, when one comes to
think, there is little ground for hope.
The trouble with us seems to be that
modern society, root and branch, leaf
and fruit, is rotten throughout. Thirty
years ago million men in the northern
states would have held indignation
meetings and declared their readiness
to wipe out, with guns if there were no
other way, any government at home or
abroad that permitted its soldiers to
disgrace its flag with such horrors as
are of almost weekly occurrence in the
Philippine islands;-yes perhaps of dali
IL occurrence if we were permitted to
hear the whole truth. Now party of
human devils flying the stars and stripes
may surround and shoot to death an
entire wedding party,-men, women,
children, bride, bridegroom, brides
maids, and groomsmen, fathers, moth
erS, brothers, sisters, relatives of the
parties, old and young, male and female.
Another party of human devils may en-
ter church where divine service is be-
ing conducted and shoot to death every
man, woman and child in the congrega-
ton. And here at home no voice is
heard against these awful crimes. Not
even minister of the gospel is heard
