sHaving lived a very active life as wife

my health failed me a few years ago. I
lost my husband about the same time,

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of mnst cases
of female disease. w.
DR.. Hartman was among Ii atEas Of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
Q woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it SO admirably adapted to their
permanent cure hat Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative SIM
ply: it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.

AN ENGINEERS BOLD DEED.

That was a bold and dangerous act
on the part of the engineer OF the ex-
press train in Rhode Island Thursday
night. To dash in the darkness at full
speed past a set danger signal and a
person standing on the track waving
him down was taking upon himself a
risk that few men would have dared
to assume. He hardly had time to
think. His determination to take the
risk was made in a second. The awk-
ward swinging of the lantern on the
track was the only thing on which
he had to base his opinion that the
danger ahead was from train robbers
and not from any thing the matter
with the track or an obstruction
ahead. Not onIy his own life was in
danger, but the lives of the many pas
sengers in the coaches behind his en-
Igine. AS it was, his instinct Che acteG
$50 quickly you could hardly call it an
true and his bold action saved bis
train from being robbed. But what a
he took, What responsibility for
life and property he assumed. 1t is
to contemplate what the re-
suit might have been had he been mis-
taken in the object of the men who
were trying to stop his train and
there had been some serious obstruc-
ton ahead of him.
AS his venture was a success he is
praised for his boldness in saving the
train and passengers from the robbers.
Had it been otherwise, though, and a
fearful accident, accompanied by loss
of life, had followed no excuse for his
conduct would have been taken. He
would would have been TOLD ne should
have needed the danger signal; that
he had no right to ruiz at full speed
by it just because a lantern was being
swung across the track by an mex
perienced person.

In reference to the proposition to
lease the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima railroad and the governors re-
lection thereof The Messenger re-
marked that a fifty al lease would
probably expire before the govern
ment opened the inland waterway
through our sounds. We did not in
tend to criticise the governors action,
for we do not know enough about
the lease. We suppose the governor
knows what he is doing and is acting
for the best interests of the state and
the section through which the road
runs. AS to the inland waterway. it
would be of inestimable value to this
section of the country and we want to
see it completed as early as possible,
las do all people in eastern North Car
|olina, but that does not prevent our
believing that it will be a long time
before it is done. 1t is in the wrong
section of the country to secure hearty
endorsement of the federal congress.
1t is a southern scheme. The action
IOf %Ongres regarding the Panama
Icanal is an index as to how this pro-
position will be received by congress-
men from other sections.

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
MALARIA.
a REAL CURE f

It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-
point you.

selves that there was no snake-as,
indeed, there was not-and sent him
away with the solemn assurance that
he need not worry about 1t any more.
He continued to worry, however.
and when at last he found a physician
who cared more about results than
etiquette he was on the verge Of
actual insanity. This great physician
soon perceived that he had to deal
with hallucination not a snake and
proceeded accordingly. He employed
colored citizen and tin bucket.
Two hours In Rock Creek park brought
forth garter snake of small size but
great activity, and an earnest and In.

victim saw the snake wriggling in
the bucket and went home happy. It
Is part of the history of that period,
however, that the physician who
achieved the cure was loudly de.

to everlasting odium for unprofes-

The distance between Pozzuoi and
Pompeii is about thirty miles. II Is
not unreasonable, therefore. to ex'
pect that. If there were Christians in
Pozzuoli when st. Paul landed at IT.,
there might well be Christians in
Pompeii during the twenty years that
elapsed between that date and the de-
struction of it in A. ID. 70. Christian

natural to think It reached Pompeii,
thirty miles from Pozzuoli. within the
space of twenty years.

the most remarkable of discoveries.
more or less associated with this sub
ject, was that made in June, 1882, a
fresco in which what seems the "Judg-

When 1t was brought to light 1t was
described as the first representation
of a sacred subject yet found in Pom
