MRS. WEBER TELLS HOW SHE WAS
Helped WHEN DOCTORS FAILED.
She Let Her Trouble Become Chronic Be

Observation-Disclosures of n Re-
mhrknble Case.


The natural reluctance which every
woman feels to consult a physician re-
garding troubles peculiar to her sex
caused Mrs. G. Weber, of No. 1855 South
Front street, Columb bus, Ohio, to let her
illness run on until it became chronic,
and even the excellent doctor whom she
employed could give her no relief that
was permanent. She gives the follow
ing details Of an interesting case:
az felt the trouble a long time before
I went to our doctor, perhaps a year or
more. When did consult him he told me

Redtop and timothy when sown to-

themselves. These grasses work well
together, but should be reseeded once
In five or six years. They should be

would reseed themselves. All of the
seed on one piece should be sown the
same day that all may start together

LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course of married love
when cthe thrill goes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often Is 1t
not due to the wife's nervousness and 1rr1-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
itless-she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.
Backed up by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States, for any case
of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap-
sus, or Falling of Womb, which they can
not cure. All they ask is fair and rea-
sonable trial of their means of cure.

TURNER'S AMBITION.
The Great Painter Achieved 1t by
Years of Self Sacrihce

Turner could not bear to sell favor
lite painting. He was always melan-
choly after such a transaction. 'I lost
one of my children this week." he would
sadly exclaim. AT a meeting at Som
erset House 1t was decided to purchase
his two great pictures, the "Rise" and
the Fall of Carthage" for the Ma
tional gallery. A Mr.. Grif1ths was
commissioned to offer $1,000 for them.
"a noble OFFER" said the painter, "a
noble offer; but, no, cannot part with
them. Impossible" Mr.. Griffiths,
greatly disappointed, took his leave
Turner ran after him. '"Tell those gen.
tlemen,' he said, that the nation will
most likely have the pictures after ALL"
Long before this Turner had matured
purpose which continued to be his
dominant idea while life lasted This
was to bequeath to his country Tur-
ner gallery of pictures and to amass
100000 to build and endow an asylum
for decayed artists. 1t was for this
great object that he denied himself an
pleasures that cost money, all luxIlries.
His resolve, once made, could not be
shaken. On one occasion he was Of
fered 100000 for the art treasures
locked up in the "den." "Give me the
key of the house, Mr.. Turner" said a
Liverpool merchant, "and here is the
money" mo, thank you," replied
Turner. 'I have refused a better Of
fer" And that was true. By his will he
bequeathed f140,00O to found an asy-
lum for poor artists born in England
and magnificent art collection In his
country. This latter bequest was, how
ever, coupled with the condition that his
"Rise" and Fall of Carthage" should
be hung in the National gallery be-
tween Claude's Seaport and "NIill."-
