An address on The Pleasures of Age,
delivered by the late Mrs. ELIZABETH
CApY STANTON on the seventeen ami
versary of her birth, which has just been
reprinted as pamphlet, has some peril
nency to the discussion raised by Or.
OsLER of Baltimore. Fifty Mrs.
STANTON described as the heyday OF
woman's life and she quoted these
rather prosaio lines from LoNGFELLow

II Dr. OsLER's limitation of the period
Of the chief productive value of man
to 40 years had referred to precise and
clear sighted investigation, in the la
boratory, for example, 1t might have
been worth at least casual discussion;
or if it had been merely jocular, it could
only have been criticised as perhaps
somewhat deficient in dignity, under
the circumstances.
His explanation on Friday, however,
that his whimsical notion has been made
1.-The subject of serious essay on La
y rrise dc Quarante Ans, and that he has
obeen years in accommodating the facts y
to support it, seems hardly consistent
with the scientific reputation to which
he has attained. His generalization is
Of sort suggestive Of callowness rather
than maturity, Of youthful disposition
TO say smart thing, to put forth para
dox to surprise people.
Il meant what | said and | will prove
1t when | get my essay finished, de-
clared DR.. OsLER; but is an attempt at
such an impossible demonstration
worthy OF a man Of his scientific emf
nenoe? OF course, he can marshal
great array Of facts in support of his no
ton, but so also no less imposing an array
of contradictory facts can be presented
against it.
That is. DR.. OsLER seems to be trifing
with his serious and well deserved repu-
tation in associating it with whimsical
fancy suggestive of sensationalism
rather than the restraint of the man
of science who waits for the assurance
Of complete demonstration before pub
fishing a theory as a veritable addition
TO scientific wealth. His remark in de-
parting from Johns Hopkins University
tends to lower him in critical considera-
ton at time when he has reached great
and peculiar prominence as leader in
the profession of medicine in its highest
scientific aspects.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every-
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /

tasted good and IL caused disturbance in nv

but nothing seemed to help me. j was ad-
vised to give Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that It acted like fine tonic, and in q
fewdays Ibegan, to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
i've weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering womenn
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or has such a record Of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

We leave this for the people of the
localities interested to decide, while we
try to induce those who have to use it,
for sicknnss or for family use in any
way, to use pure whiskey. The kind
that does the least harm and the mnst
good. We don't suppose there ever
was or ever viii be a person but who
would want pure whiskey if he
could get it, and yet, the impure arti-
Gle has been sold so much, and the
claim so often made that 1t was pure,
that some people do not know the taste

Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their wbiskey.
They either imagine they will not ge

liver goods in the South as promptly
as to local points, and we make a
speciality of shipping all orders prompt
ly on the first train.
During the last three months we have
endeavOred to give the readers of this
paper a few facts concerning whiskey
to guide them in it's use and buying.
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with our part of the advertising, and
should there be anyone who Ike for us
to go more into details, we will give
them all the information they desire if
they will write Us.
