All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature Of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhoea,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritabiity and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.

SCIENTIFIC NoTAT1oNs.


Poisonous nicotine in tobacco is re-
moved by sleeping the leaves IN a So
tuition OF fannie acid. This is the
method adopted by German chemist.
Recent discoveries seem to show
that each of the larger planets is ac-
companied by bands of satellites rela-
lively smaller than the minor planets,
as the primaries are smaller than the
sun.
A balance of precision weighing u
mixture of Illuminating gas or fire
damp against an equal quantity of nor
NAL air is the novel gas-detecting
alarm that has been brought before
the Paris Academy of Sciences.
NJ. Caverau, OF France, mas discoy-
cred that the eggs OF insects contain
the same characteristic poison venom
as the sting of the insect So also
the eggs OF serpents. The discovery
is important in its bearings on the

Clayton in 1901 The atmospheric
pressure for the stations has now been
calculated by T. Okada, a japanese
meteorologist, who finds a very regu-
far increase of one heartbeat per min
lite for each third OF an inch decrease
in pressure.
The recent discovery that alloys not
containing iron can be made as mag
netic as iron has suggested the new
theory that magnetism depends upon
the grouping of the molecules. When
the special magnetic structure is made
better known, it IS hoped to improve
upon electrical magnets by adopting
for them an alloy Of great power, thus
tightening the moving parts IN elec-
trical machines.
Vigorite, the new explosive of Prof.
Shulz and Engineer Genre, of Switzer-
land, is a nitrous compound which,
united with saltpeter, has given re-
suits claimed to indicate a strength
about ten times greater than that of
any other explosive In the air it
burns without exploding 1t has the
further advantages of being iasensible
to friction, shock or conclusion. while
1t is not injured by wetting or by
freezing.
