Woman is always more or less at

full of unsupported quicksands into

has keen SENSE of her limitations and

them.
Often she is unsuccessful for where

Perfect DIGESTION
HOW TO OBTAIN II.

There ie not man or woman whose
digestive organs are in perfect condition
that ever suffers from impoverished
blood, loss of flesh, shattered nerves,
Indigestion sour stomach, or tlatulency,
and there is not person living who
IS troubled with these disorders that
ever received any permanent benefit
from taking drugs to rectify these condi-
tions.
When the digestive organs are in per-
feet condition they extract from the
food all that goes to make blood, muscle,
flesh and good health, and unless they
are in perfect condition, they cannot
accomplish this work. Drugs cannot
and will not digest food. They only de
compose it, To be sure, in this way
they often afford temporary relief to the
irritated stomach and bowels, but the
patient receives no nourishment from
such food and the digestive organs no
benefit from such treatments.
No human being has as yet been able
to duplicate the work of our Maker.
Consequently, all treatments which have
for their object the digestion of food,
are failures and always will be. Moth
ing but the restoration of these organs to
their normal condition can or will per
manently cure disorders which arise
from the stomach and bowels
Up to the present time, MI-o-NA, the
new cure for diseases of the digestive or
gans, is the only one which does not act
on the food at all but upon the mem
brane lining the digestive organs them
selves.
This new remedy is extracted from the
Taro plant. found in Hawaii, and It's use
as a vegetable by the residents of that
country has made them the most perfect
race, physically, in the world Their mag
nificent physique, firm muscles, elastic
tread, and bright eyes, being a wonder
and delight to all who see them.
MI-o-NA destroys Affirmation, removes
congestion, allays Inflammation and pre-
vents fermentation in the digestive or
gans. 1t causes the digestive fluids to
flow in natural abundance, the lymph
atics to work properly during the pro-
cess of assimilation, and thus creates
perfect digestion
BY taking one MONA tablet before
each meal you can enjoy your food
without fear You will gradually come
to your standard weight and your full
vigor and vitality Will return. Even if
Indigestion and dyspepsia has reached a
chrome stage where life is one long
drawn out pain, MI-o,NA will cure il

Chinene Wedhinrn.

The chief incident in a Chinese mar
riage is the arrival of the bride in her
bridal clothes before the house of her
chosen one. This is de facto fulfill
ment of the contract The wedding
day Is determined by the parents Of the
groom. The imperial calendar names
the lucky days, and on such days the
SO called red celebrations" take place,
both in the city and country. The same
bridal clothes may be used several
times. That the chief part of a Chinese
marriage is the arrival of the bride at
the house of the groom is illustrated
by the fact that the sons are often mar
ried without being present at their own
weddings. 1t is not believed to be for
tunate to change the wedding day when
once decided. II the future husband,
therefore. happens to be called away on
the wedding day, the marriage takes
place by sending the bride to his house.

Umbre,I. Et,ouette In Turkey.

In China ladies are attended by serv-
ants who hold umbrellas over their
heads. The Chinese and Japanese in
troduce both the umbrella and parasol
into their decorative work and athletic
sports. In western Turkey it Is neces-
sary to close an umbrella on meeting
people of high rank, and a European
traveller who was passing one of the
palaces of the sultan was nearly run
through by the guard before he com
pretended that he must put down the
open umbrella he carried. Every one
passing the actual residence Of the
sultan lowers his umbrella as n salu-
tation to the brother of the sun and

away, leaving a great gap in the homes.
When news of the wounded filled the
papers, Anne decided that if she could
not fight for her country she could at
least care for those who had so brave
ly rislted their lives in the cause.
Two years after Sumter was fired on
the One Hundred and Ninth New York
volunteers were organized in her town,
with Benjamin f. Tracy, afterward
secretary of war under President Har-
rison, at the head of the regiment.
Anne Graham had found her opportu-
nifty. Mr.. Tracy knew the family well;
knew of Anne's ambition, and also of
her skill in sickroom. He immedi-
ately secured her a permit to join the
regiment as a regular army nurse, and
she proudly marched to the front with
the One Hundred and Ninth volun-
teers.
Anne went into the work heart and
soul and with Il thorough knowledge
of her duties, which soon won for her
the admiration and respect of the sur
geons and the devotion of the soldiers.

Shortly after the war Anne Graham
was married to David Young, a car
penter and also soldier. who had
fought for the English in Canada dur
ing the Fenian outbreak. This cere-
mony crushed the hopes of a certain
young northern soldier whom aunt
Becky had nursed during the struggle
and who lost his heart to the maiden

Besides being an army nurse of wide
reputation Mrs. Young is the founder
of two state sanitary associations one

The first had its beginning in Ithaca,

break of the civil war. The latter was

LOCOMOTOR ATAX|A
How a New Jersey Man Freed
Himself from this Affection.

The busy little village of Branchville,
NJ has been the scene of modern
miracle. Charles F. Struble, we'll
known farmer of that town, was cured
Of locomotor ataxia and rheumatism.
To a correspondent of the New York
Press he said:
II was troubled with rheumatism, on
and off, for twenty years and tried all
kinds of treatment. Itook sulphur baths
and was treated with a galvanic battery.
also tried many doctors none of whom
did me any permanent good. I tried all
kinds of liniments but without avail
"All this time was growing worse
and in 1891 the doctor who was treating
me said my case had developed into
locomotor ataxia. He gave me no en-
oouragement and after attending me for
a while he told me my ailment was
incurable.
II suffered horribly. The cords of my
limbs were drawn tight as the strings
on q drum and had such cramps that
the pain nearly drove me wild. My
feet were cold all the time and even with
a hot water bag and heated bricks l
could not get any relief.
FINALLY heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and I began taking
them on February 8, 1898. In three
days time found that the cords in my
legs began to let up, my feet began to
get warm, began to eat and sleep well
and in one month I had gained six
pounds. The numbness in my limbs
gradually wore away and became q
new man. I can walk and work now,
and nine boxes of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People did it. In the eight
years which have passed I have had no
return of my trouble"
Mr.. Struble took the one unfailing
remedy and was readily cured. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People will
not only effect cure in cases similar to
the one above but are an unfailing spe-
cifc for all diseases arising from shat
tered nerves or impure or impoverished
blood.
