SAVE DOCTOR BILLS.
THE BOOK FOR EVERYBOD Y.
An Encyclopedia of Medical Instruction by the
Leading Medical Men of the Country.
A helpful companion for all classes and a storehouse of the latest
medical knowledge, a complete encyclopedia on home nursing, on in
fant feeding; tells you what to do in cases of accident, how to Nurse
and treat the sick. It gives the anatomy and physiology of both the
sexes. Hygiene of the home and of the sick room. Children's dis
eases and how to treat them by simple and safe remedies. Over five
hundred prescriptions.
A. 35"ir of tlxo Remedies Advised.
ADVICE TO MOTHERS The book is worth many times the
price asked for it to mothers who have the care of small children. The
section devoted to children's diseases is the most modern of anything
yet published. It is brought up to date 1896.
NURSING Nothing is more conducive to the comfort of the sica
than to have an able nurse. By following the instructions and study
ing carefully the section devoted to this branch of the healing art, you
can become perfectly proficient in this science. Every woman should
know what to do and the best way of doing it in case they are sud
denly called upon to care for the sick.
INFANT FEEDING This section alone is worth many times
the price asked for the book. Here the mother, whether she be young
and inexperienced, or whether she may have had a world of experience,
will find words of wisdom. She will find what is the best food for the
baby, and the very latest and best way to prepare it.
DISEASES OF CHILDREN The treatment of children's dis
eases has been revolutionized during the past few years; all that is
new and by experience proven to be the best, has been incorporated in
this section. No book of recent date, not even for doctors, is as ad
vanced in its treatment of this important branch as this book. Ths
late treatment for that dreaded disease Diphtheria which has proven
so fatal to so many, is here fiiven.
DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN In this section will be
found invaluable information for every woman and for every maiden
just merging into womanhood. The advice and treatment here given
is the latest and best. It is by a physician who has long been a spe
cialist in this class of diseases.
THE STOMACH There is no one but what recognizes, the fact
that a sound stomach is the prime requisite for a sound body. The
diseases of this important organ have been dwelt upon at great length.
The very best means are minutely described for restoring this organ to
a healthful state after being once deranged.
THE LIVER Every individual knows the vast role this organ
plays in the human organism. If it be out of fix the whole family and
most of the neighbors know it, for he is a nuisance to himself and all
about him. This book gives a minute description of this all-important
organ, and a clear portrayal of its varied diseases. It then tells
how these may be corrected and the organ restored to its healthy con
dition. : EC U" JM UnEPS 3VEOX1.X:.
There are Prescriptions and Simple Remedies for Asthma, Chole
ra, Croup, Diarrhoea, Ear Ache, Erysipelas, Hay Fever, Indigestion,
Kidney Troubles, Worms, Measles, Nose Bleed, Whooping Cough,
Pneumonia, Ringworm, Scalds, Sprains, Sunstroke, Tonsilitis, etc.,
etc., any one of which might save not only a doctor bill, but a life as
well. Can you afford to be without it?
It treats of all the summer diseases, and gives the very latest pre
scriptions for all slight as well as serious ailments. What you pay for
one prescription will more than pay for over 5oo of the latest and best
prescriptions, and a wealth of valuable information besides. The
book is meeting with an enormous sale in the east. Price $2.50.

Malaria and Rheumatism.
Prom the Journal, Wllmington,;Ohio.
One of the fertile farms of the rich Ohio
valley, seven miles from Wilmington, the
county seat of Clinton county, unio, ana
but a short distance from the small
town of Melvin. their nostofflce.in ncozy
little country home, resides John Arra-
smith, and his wife, Minnie.
A. few days since a representative of the
Journal drove out to Melvin to see tnem.
Id the course of her conversation, Mrs. A.
detailed the facts of her cure.
"Last July," she said, "from undue ex
posure in my work about the farm, I
contracted malaria and rheumatism, and
suffered from the illness greatly. I could
not throw it off, aud although constant
ly attended bv local physicians, contin
ued to grow worse. In September I
caught a severe cold, hich greatly in
creased my other troubles, and taking to
my bed, there 1 lay for monttis. ine
rheumatism grew more aggravated, and
for eight long weeks prior to last Christ
mas I was perfectly helpless, my limbs
below the lips being as if paralyzed, and
I having no use of them whatever. I
could not helD myself in any way, aHd
was not able to turn over in bed unless
my husband or some one else came and
turned me. Medicines which the physi
cians left did no good, and nothing I
could take afforded any relief. I was dis
couraged, and feared that never again
would I be ud and about the house. It
was anything but a bright prospect, for
I was only twenty years old, had been
married but two years, and my life was
before me, and to go through it a help
lees cripple, a burden to my friends, was
a fearful fate to think or.
"I had read in the Wilmington Journ
al from time to time articles telling'of
the wonderful cures which had been ef
fected bv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
had become impressed with the cases
where they had caused people to walK
and recover who had been as helpless as
I was. Consulting my husband, we de
termined to give tbem a trial. So he
drove into Wilmington and, going to the
drug store of George W. Brown, bought
three boxes of the pills. I began taking
them immediately on his return. That
was about the first of the present year.
Before the first box was gone I began to
realize that I was getting better, and by
the time I had finished the second box
the pain with which I had been suffering
for nearly six months and the disease
which had made me helpless for eight
weeks disappeared entirely and 1 got up.
I took the third box of the pills and
have never felt a twinge of the rheuma
tism since, and I am doing my daily
work and feeling as well as anybody."
To confirm the story Mrs. Arrasraitli
made the following affadavit:
Sworn before me and subscribed in my
presence at Wilmington, Ohio, this 29th
day of June, 1895.

The June Arena.
The June Arena opens its 16th volume,
appearing in a new dress, and being
printed by Skinner," Bartlett & Co. It is
an unusually strong number, opening
with a brilliant paper by Rev. Samuel
Barrows, D. D., the distinguished editor
of the Christian Register, of Boston, on
"The First Pagan Critic of Christian
Faith and His Anticipation of Modern
Thought."
Justice Walter Cfark, L.L.D., of the su
preme court of North Carolina, contrib
utes an instructive and' delightful paper
on Mexico, the interest , of which is en
hanced by several excellent illustrations,
including a recent portrait of the presi
dent of the Mexican republic. The presi
dent of the Mercantile National Bank of
New York contributes "A Proposed Plat
form for American Independents for
1896," which illustrates how strongly
the silver movement is taking hold on
eastern financiers no less than the mass
of voters in the south and west. Recent
ly J. Cook, the veteran banker who float
ed the government bonds in 1861, at
the time of our sorest need, came out
boldly for free silver. Mr. St. John, who
has made finance a study for many
years, and who is president of a bank
having a capital ot J 1,000,000, is no
less pronounced on this subject.
Another paper of special merit, on "Bi
metallism," appears in this number by
A. J. Utley. It is able, and, from a silver
point of view, very convincing.
Prof. Parsons of Boston University
law school continues his masterly papers
on the "Government Control of Tele
graph," a series of careful papers hither
to un approached in authorative charac
ter. Mr. B. 0. Flower, the editor of the Are
na, writes in a most captivating manner
of Whittier, considering him in the light
of a "Poet of Freedom," and giving
many of Whittier's most stirring lines.
A fine portrait of the Quaker poet forms
a frontispiece to this number. The edi
tor also discusses somewhat at length
in his editorials the message of Whittier
to men and women of today, and the
proposed platform of Mr. St. John. An
other interesting feature of this issue is
Mr. Altweed Pomeroy's illustrated paper
on the "Direct Legislation Movement
and its Leaders."
Students of the higher metaphysical
thought of our time will be deeply inter
ested in Horatio W. Dresser's paper en
titled "The Mental Cure in its Relation
to Modern thought." Will Allen Drom
goole continues her powerful serial of
"Tennessee Life," and Mrs. Calvin Kry
der Ueifsuider's "Psychical Romance,"
which opened a few months since, is pre
faced by a digest of the preceding chap
ters. It is also profusely illustrated
with exceptionally fine drawings.
These are by no means the full quota
of the strong attractions of this brilliant
number of America's great, progressive,
reformative and liberal review.

serious damage. The grass continues to
grow well and pasturage and feed on the

been cut for bay this early in the season
because of its unusual growth and in all
sections the prospect is for an abundant
hay crop. Alfalfa is being cut over the
state generally and is everywhere repor
ted an excellent crop.
Corn has been injured somewhat in the
section of heavy rainfall by washing but
the crop generally has made a fair
growth and is now rather more advanced
