The Modesty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
indicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
mentS, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment OF diseases of
women. Yet, if help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that SO often the woman undergoes all
the Annoyance and shame for nothing.

An Ills. mother writes about feed

The Honest Office Boy.

A Baltimore lawyer had engaged
a new Office boy, and to test the
boys honesty he put a twenty dollar
note under the inkstand on his desk,
letting the end protrude, when he
went out to lunch. On his return
a couple of hours later the note was
gone. A silver quarter occupied its
place.
Pale with rage and horror, the
lawyer called the new boy to him.
'Look here" he shouted, "when
I went out I left $50 under this ink
stand. Now there's only a quarter
there. How do you explain it ?"
The boy smiled brightly. "Why,
sir" he said, Gust after you left a
gentleman called with a wine and
cigar bill that he knew you were dy-
ing to pay because it had been
standing for four years, so l settled
it with the twenty dollar note under
the inkstand. It was $19.75. Here's
the receipt, sir"

Married Before Birth.

T. A. Hydaka, a Japanese re-
Gently from Japan, stated to us
this morning that he was married
before he was born. He stated in
all seriousness that it was an abso-
.tute fact. He explained that ii
was a custom in Japan for parents
on the birth of children to enter
into legal writings appointing for
them a husband or a wife, accord
ing to the sex of the child. Ger
tain Japanese parents on the birth
of a daughter executed deed Civ
ing the little child wife to the next
son of his parents. Unfortunately
the little girl died before her hus-
band to-be was born. And it ap-
pears that the Japanese told the
truth. A different rule applies in
America. If we could substitute
ethe Japanese methods of matri-
nony for ours, we would have no

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

FREIGHT is delivered at Brazoria,
Texas, for about half the price at
which it is delivered at Bay City,
the towns being practically about
the same distance from the markets,
50 THE HERALD is informed. The
reason for this discrepancy lies in
che fact that schooners occasionally
run up the river, carrying freight
10 Brazoria, while Bay City is en-
2irely dependent upon the railroads.
There could be no better illustra-
don of the value of water trans
portation in keeping down freight
yates. It would be well for Browns
vile to bear this subject in mind,
