comes to every woman who has
bounding health-but when she is
pallid, dull eyed, languid, she has
no magnetism nor does she appeal
to any man.
Such a change in feelings and
looks!

vous, dizzy, weak and dragged
down by weaknesses of her sex
with eyes sunken, black circles and
pale cheeks-such a woman is
quickly restored to health by the

Changed, too, in looks, for after
taking DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

W. G. Allen, of Estill county while
in the city gave out this piece of
news, that John Cox a resident of
his county and who represents New
York capitalists has purchased of
him 63 acres of land in Estill county
and of another party 400 acres, pay
ing a very liberal price. These lands
contain large quantity Of slate that
contain a very high grade Of oil, one
gallon extracted from the slate be-
ing worth 26 times as much as the
crude pool oil. Mr.. Allen states he
saw an expert take eight ounces of
slate, product of these lands, pull
verize it, subject it to heat and from
it extract one and three sixths
ounces of this fine oil.
Mr.. Allen says plants viii be pat

ascribed to our own neglect or
