How often do you hear these signi-

is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to

nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing

typical Soldier Of Fortune

Though many of the descendants of
the illustrious Edgar Allan Poe inherit
some of his illustrious instincts, it is
probably more marked in the case Of
Johnnie" Poe, who can we'll be styled
q typical soldier Of fortune. Mr.. Poe
belonged to the great Fifth regiment
Of Baltimore and served during the
war with Spain, after which he went
to the Philippines, where he was Of
fered a commission for efficient work.
For the second time, however, he re-
fused the honor and remained a priv
ate. At the expiration of his term he
came back to this country and wan.
dered to the famous Death valley and
from there to the Tonopah district,
from which he was lured in the late
fall by the call of the gridiron.

though such testimony Is not to be
used in the prosecution of witnesses.
The bills passed by the house are as
follows:
Denying a witness Or employe the
right to refuse to produce books and
to answer questions upon the ground
that to do SO would incriminate him.
Prohibiting the formation of pools,
trusts, combinations and agreements
in restraint of trade and competition.
Providing for the making of affida-
Wits Of officers and agents OF corpora
tons to the secretary of state, and
penalty for either a false affidavit or
failure 10 make affidavit.
Exempting witness from prosecution
on account of any transaction OF mat
ter concerning which he may testify
or produce books or papers.
Making railroad transportation sold
at full rates good until used.
Representative Hill offered a resolu-
ton in the house Thursday, asking for
the appointment of a calendar commit
tee, to be composed of one member
from each congressional district. The
calendar, at this time, is greatly con-
gested, and most of the measures with
which it is loaded down are of minor
Importance. The request for the
committee comes a little late. as it
was expected that 1t would be chosen
when the other standing committees
were named at the opening of the ses-
sion.
The house INDUCED In much merri-
ment Monday over the Staples bill,
prohibiting the manufacture or sale in
this state of pop" matches. The wits
attacked it from all sides, and the
amendments came pouring in which
would have made the Fourth of July
quiet as a graveyard to the small boy.
They prohibited the manufacturer or
sale of firecrackers, s~kyrockets, toy
pistols and "nigger chasers." After all
these had been adopted and the house
had listened to the reading of letters
from insurance companies indorsing
the measure, the bill was refused en-
grossment.
The house devoted considerable time
to the discussion of the Simmons bill,
in relation to the weighing and inspec-
tion of grain, which was up for engros-
ment. 1t was placed on the calendar
by a vote to 81 to 80. Representative
Heathman led the fight for the bill,
while Representatives Catlin and Hal
Ter, both of st. Louis, conducted the
fight for the opposition.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet OF
the body. They stimulate the blood
30 to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain Of solid
extract of sarsaparilla, which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make 1t a blood purifier u~nexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or s-ugar-coated.

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.
Wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures
In Great Britain.

The advocates of the metric system
want no better justification than
tables just prepared for the year book
OF the British A~uctioneers' institute.
It is learned from this that the price
OF wheat is made and the cereal is
sold in 20 different ways in England.
Scotland and Wales.
1t is measured variously by the
quarter, comb, load, boil, bushel, bar.
rel, hundredweight, GENITAL, windle
and hobbet. Further confusion ia
caused by varying weights of a bushel
In different parts of the country.
A boil is three. bushels in some
places and four and six in others.
There are similar absurd variations
In other weights and measures.
For instance, a stone. of meat ia
eight pounds, a stone of iron IA
pounds, a stone of cheese 16 pounds
and a stone of hemp 80 pounds.
There are seven different areas Of
the standard acre in Great Britain.
The vagaries Of liquid measures are
equally b~ewildering.

HOUSE.

The house engaged for a time Thurs.
day in the passage of bills originating
in that body. Among those which re-
ceived it's sanction were the antitrust
bills introduced by Representative Hill
of Butler, in the preparation Of which
the assistance OF Attorney General
Hadley was had. Not a dissenting
vote was returned against either of
them. These bills so amend the ex-
listing antitrust statutes as to make
the production of books and papers OBJ
ligatory in trials of alleged combina-
lions or pools and also deny exemp-
ton to witnesses on the ground that
to testify would incriminate them,
Fewer bills came into the house Mon
day than during any other day of the
session, there being but four Of them.
The total number is now, however, 800.
One of those which came in Monday
provides that the term of county as
SCISSOR shall be four years, and that
excepting, az applies to st. Louis city,
no assessor shall serve two succeeding
terms. Another n provides that in
all counties having 5000 and less than
100000 population the salary of the
presiding Judge of the county court
shall be 1880 and of associate judges
$1,000.
The house defeated the Holcomb
bill providing that county courts be
furnished with names by political com
mittees, from which lists election
judges weregEto be chosen. The bill
only provided for the furnishing OF
such lists by the two parties casting
the highest and the next highest num-
Der Of votes.
Ten more bills came into the house
Thursday, making the total number
GIT. MI. Huck introduced one provid-
ing that assessors should fix the value
Of property at 65 per cent OF its true
value in money at the time the assess

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht; and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con.
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is a contagious affection Of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made a careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find a cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

OcsStioeS the rrincipdI ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic eatarrh7 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy9 Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis c~anadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the %shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver) and In diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic organs.
1t is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
Culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
ialis formosa, Is classed in the United
Bates Di~spensatory as a tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds Is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
Of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient Of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. It acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. It acts as a stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful In chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases Of the liver and kidneys.
