London. July "a quarter Of
beef kept for eighteen yeas 10 cold
stor ye was exposed to the public
view for an hour and half at the
Smithfeld markets recently. No
test was made Of its eating qusli-
ties, but the meat appeared perfec,-
ly sound. although slightly faded.
It was put back into storage to re-
main an object Of curiosity, the
owners hoping it may be allowed to
complete a century at least. The
quarter was shipped from Brisbsne,
Australia, in February, 1896. to a
firm of military Contractors at
Mslta, who used it for experimental
purposes. When the government
recently took over the storage at
Malta the firm shipped the piece to
London. The system Of refrigera-
ton employed during this period
was brine circulation produced by
an ammonia compression machine.

Summit, N. Gin letter receiv-
ed from this place. Mr.. J.W. Church,
the notary public, says, my wife
had been ailing for nearly 10 years,
from female ailments, and at times,
was unable to leave the house. She
suffered agony with her side and
back. We tried physicians for years,
without relief. After these treat
ments all failed. she took Cardui,
and gained in weight at once. Now
she is red and rosy as a girl. !"
Cardui, as tonic for women, has
brought remarkable results. It re-
lieves pain and misery and is the ideal
tonic for old and young. Try it. At
all druggists.
