@LL sonts oF xi BANANA FRITT SPICED PLUMS, D PUDDINGS, JELLIES, JUMBLES, SPO &C.— HOW TO GET RID OF FRUIT sTAINS—HOW TO MAKE ROSE PERFUME. &ricep Pics are delicious. To eight pounds of plums allow four of sugar, one teaspoonful cinnamon and cloyes, one small cup of Cook until they are thick as Jelly. A Bat Tower that will do good service is made of carpet-warp, crocheted in any loose stitch. It ts a short task to make it, and it will outlast most other towels used for rubbing alone. Banava Frevrers.—Four eggs. one pint milk, f litte salt, flour enough to makea light batter. Beat the eggs into the milk, aod add salt and flour. Stir in, pretty thickly, bananas, sliced thin. 'y in hot lard. A Disu which may tempt a falling appetite or be relished by a convalescent Is this: Take two or three sardines from the box, drain all the oil from them, and broi! them; then lay them on Blices of buttered toast. Bananas Siicep and served with ice cream are very delicate and dainty. They should be sliced and have a little pgwdered sugar scattered over them for about an hour before serving. Set them inthe refrigerator for that length of time.

It will wash so much ee embroidery that it is very satisfac- ry. CnoceLate Jeniy.— Four small cakes of chocolate grated and one anda half pints of milk bolled together. Then add sugar and Vanilla to taste, and one box ot gelatine dis- solved in a little water. Boll all together for a few minutes, then set away to cool. Goop vor Breakrast.—For breakfast try this: Take the skin off a nice piece of salt codfish; wash it in several waters, and lay iton a grid- iron to broli. It should be brotled for about twenty minutes, and must be turned often to prevent burning. This is nice for tea also. Jone: Watcn Writ Keer a MontH are made thus: One pound of butter, one pound of Sugar, two pounds of flour, three eggs, nine teaspoonfuls of water, three of baking powder, with salt and flavoring to suit the taste. Roll them and bake in a quick oven. A Very Niog way to make a corn starch pud- ding is to put halfa peach in the bottom ofa cup and then pour the corn-starch blanc mange over it. When ready to serve. turn from the cup into a saucer. Slices or quarters of oranges may be used In piace of the peach. A thin cus- tard for sauce is recommended to go with the pudding. Giver Corprat ts made of four pounds of ed or white currants, eight ounces of ginger- Toot, two ounces -of bitter almonds, one-half eunce of sweet almonds. three lemons sliced, gallon ot whisky. Mash the currants, cut zer-root In small pieces, crack and split the nuts, pour the whisky over these ingredi- ents, and let it stand for ten days; then pour It offearetully, add four pounds of loaf sugar, and bottle it. “Love Kxots.”—Little cakes, called “love nots,” are nice for tea: Five cups of flour, two of sugar, one of butter, a piece of lard the size of an egg, two eges three tablespoonfuls of | Sweet milk, half a teaspoonful of soda; rub the butter, sugar and flour together fine, add the other ingredients, roll thin, cut in strips one Inch wide ‘and five <inches long, lap across in true-love knote, and bake in a quick oven.— WV. ¥-. Post. A Deticiovs Cuocor.ate Prpprse is made of one quart of milk, three ounces of chocolate, six eggs, one cup of sugar, and two teaspoonfuls ofvanilla. Boil the milk, and stir in the grated chocolate. When this is dis ed, take from the fire and stir in the beaten yelks of six ex: hen add the suzar and vanilla. Bake ina pud- ding dish for half an hour, and make a meringue of the whites of the egza, with three teaspoon- fuls ot sugar beaten with them. Tne Secret of success in making white sponge-cake isin the thorouzh mixizg of the Ingredients. The flour should be sifted, in the first place;then sift the flour and sugar together, then the one small teaspoonful of baking powder. For one loaf use eleven eggs—the whites only are required—one large cup of flour, and one and a halt of sugar. If pos- sible do not open the oven door while the cake is baking.—N. Y. Post.

Flavor with vanilla and freeze asice-cream. Mould ina melon-shaped mould. After turning the pudding out upon a platter, spread all over it the whites of six beaten to a stitf froth with a little sugar and brandy. As Instant Bemzpy ror Porsoxixe.—tIf a Person swallows any polson whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded bis stomach, an instantaneousremedy is a heap- log teaspoonful of common salt and as much ground mustard stirred rapidly in @ teacup of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before It begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the stomach; and lest there be any remnant of Polson, however, let the white of an egg or a tea-cup of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the nach ts quiet; because these very com- mon articles nullify a large number of virulent polsons. Devi.LED Crans.—One dozen fresh orabs dolled and pickled; quarter of a pound of fresh butter: one smal! teaspoonful of mustard pow- der; Cayenne pepper and salt to taste. Put the meat intos bowland mix carefully with it an equal quantity of fine bread crumbs. Work the butter toa light cream, mix the mustard well with it, then stir in very carefully, a handful at a time, the mixed crabs and crambs. Season to taste with Cayenne pepper and salt, fill the crab sh with the mixture, sprinkle bread crumbs over the tops, put three small pieces of butter Upon the top of each, and brown them quickly Ina hot oven. They will puff in baking and will be found very nice. Hi the quantity can be made.—N. ¥. Tribune. Faerr Staixs.—In the season of fruits, the Bapkins used at the table, and often the hand- kerchiefs and other articles, will become stained. Those who have access to a good drug store can procure a bottle of Javelle water. lt the stains are wet with this before the articles are put into the wash,they willbe completely removed. Those who cannot get Javelle water can make a solu- tion of chloride ot lime. Four ounces of the chloride of Ime is to be put intoa qi of Water In a bottle, and after thoroughly shaking allow the dregs to settle. The clean liquid will remove thestaing as readily as Javelle water, but, 1n using this, one precaution must be observed. Be careful to thoroughly rinse the article to which this solution has been applied In clear water before bringing it In contact with soap. When Javelle water is used, this precaution te not necessary; but with the chloride of lime Uquid it ts, or the articles will be harsh and stiff. Ross PeRrrgwe.—Gather all the fragrant roses you can—no mgtter if you are week gather- ‘ng—and when you get a good many, take an iron mortar and pestle, like a druggist has, fill the mortar and pound the leaves toa pulp. It will be quite like alump of dough. Then take = thimble and use {t for a measure—fill It full of the mixture, empty out into your hand, and between your palms roll and roll, until you make a compact little ball, round as marble.

LOVE AND HOUSE-CLEANING. BY AMY RANDOLPH. “I wonder who first invented house-cleaning,” | groaned Mr. Merrion. “Whoever he was, I hope he died in a lunaticasylum! Slippers in the bureau drawer, In my best shirt; inkstand under | thé bed; dressing-gown nobody knows where; chairs all tled up in holland wrappings, and | Rothing to sit on but the top of a hat-box! And, worse than all, carpets ruthlessly wrenched up, | and floor all deluged with damp soapsuds, | enough to give aman rheumatism and neural- gia for the whole remaining term of his natural life! Job might have had a great many trials to test his patience—I haven't a doubt of that— but there was one trial he didn’t have. I never | read in Scripture that Job's wife cleaned house! | That's a modern aggravation. I mean to marry 8 nice girl, and make it a stipulation beforehand that we won't turn our house upside down, on prineiple, twice a year!” Mr. Merrion soliloquized thus, as he stood be- fore the mirror, smoothing his brown curly locks with his fingers, in leu of the hair brush, which no amount of search had proved available in finding. Not so bad looking, after all, in spite of his seven-and-thirty years, he could not but tell himself as he stood there. Dark brown hair, waved at the ends, bright hazel eyes, a clear complexion, albeit somewhat touched with brown; and a square chin, cleft with a deep dimple in the center. An old bachelor, but as yet not trremediably so. While there Is life there is hope, and the ageravated torments of life In @ boarding-house were slowly but surely driving him toward his destiny. Old Mrs. Grimshaw, the landlady, head of the vesper banqueting table pouring out @ decoction of weak tea into an array of Feet ey stone-china cups, as Mr. Merrion en- tered. She greeted him with a happy smile. “Of course, Mr. Merrion, you're quite delight- ed to see how finely we have got along cleaning your room!” “No, ma’am, I'm not!” our hero made answer grufily. ‘I Lt ae house-cleaning as an inven- pre of the Evil One, and I don’t care who knows it.” was at the The assembled gentleman of the establish- ment murmured unanimous consent; the assem- bled ladies rolled up their eyes and wagged their teaspoons in pious horror. “Dear me,"sighed the landlady, how peculiar men are! ly dear, departed Grimshaw never breathed a word of objection to spring clean- ing; in fact, he used to help me at white- Washing, and papered the walls with his pwn ands!” . “And he died, didn’t he,ma’am?” interrogated Merrion. “Yes, he died,” said Mra: Grimshaw, “but it was of gout in the stomach, and at the age of fitty-two!” “Ah!” sald Mr. Merrion sepulchrally. “And there's no saying how much tonger he might have ilved, itit hadn't been for spring cleaning.” “Nothing of the kind!” erled Mrs. Grimshaw indignantly, and she began a detatled account of the symptoms and signs which had accom pied the last days of the deceased Grimshaw, to the ladies immediately around her, under cover of which Mr. Merrion swallowed his tea and effected his escape. “A man must‘be made of cast-iron to endure this sort of thing much longer,” sald he to him- self, strolling out into the May alr. “I won't continue a solitary, alone in the world’s great ;Procession any longer. I'll become a married man.” : Four blocks off, in acozy little old-fashioned house, whose original self ofred brick was nearly concealed by wings, additions and bay-windows, all covered with trampet-creeper, wisterla, and brown-stemmed honey-suckle, dwelt a pretty young widow, sweet-volced; rosy, and ‘passing fair to look upon. “Pll propose to Mrs. Tyson,” said our hero, “and I'll do it at once.” Mrs. Tyson was not at home, but the servant mald who opened the door was. quite certain that if Mr. Merrion would only walk in and wait a few minutes, her mistress would return. So Mr. Merrion walked in the sunny room where the puzzy-cat lay purring on the rug be- fore the fire, and a window stand full of daffo- dils and primroses made the alr sweet, and the widow's open portfollo, with sheets of lavender paper strewn about, betokened her most recent occupation. “An idea!” said Mr. Merrion. “I never was quick at turning a sentence, and It is decidedly awkward to go down upon one’s knees. “I'll write the eventful question.” “My dear Mrs. Tyson—WiM you marry me? And will you accept my assurances of sincere devotion, now and for all? I am now an elo- quent man, but I believe I could make any woman happy who loved me, and whom 1 loved. Ofthe latter fact Iam quite certain in regard to you; of the former, it remains for you to assure me. “TI shall meet you at Mrs. Grimshaw’s to-mor- row evening. She has told me you are comin, totea. If you answer the first question I asked you ‘Yes,” I shall know that you love me; if otherwise, I shall not press my sult. “Yours Truly, “Joan Meprion. “P.8.—Wenld you mind entering into an agreement never to clean house after we are married? I have a horror of house cieaning Mr. Merrion sealed CE letter, in be- big blot he had drop- wailing himself over pea, like an inky tear, on the words, “Yours “But it’s bad luck to write a thing of that kind twice over,” he sald to himself, superscrib- ing the letter, “‘Mrs. Cora Tyson,” and placing it where her eye would be certain to light upon it the first oe And then he took his departure. It was quite dusk when Mrs. Tyson came in the hall an hour afterward, and the servant maid was lighting the hall gas. “Please, ma’am, there's a gentleman in the sitting-room to see you,” sald the lass, as Mra. Tyson entered. “Who is it?” asked the widow. But the lassie of the blue ribbons did not know, and when Mrs. Tyson entered the room nobody was there but puss and the plants. “He must have gone away, ma'am, sald the servant mald. “He'll come again, I dare say, if he wants to See me very much,” sald the widow, and, quite unconscious of the billet-doux awaiting her glance, she tumbled all the papers together into feted portfolio, and put it on the top shelf of the rary. “Kitty,” she said to the servant, “come and help me Clear away all these things. Mrs. Flan- agan ts coming early to-morrow morning to clean house, and we must be ready for her.” Hapless John Merrion! Here was the shadow of house-cleaning once again darkly brooding over his life! Mrs. Tyson came to Mrs. Grimshaw's to tea the next evening, looking very bewitching in her shining black silk dress, hair to match, with cherry cheeks and velvet-brown eyes. Merrion’s brow brightened as he walked up to her. Did she plush? He thought she did, a littt®—but she put out her hand quite unconcernedly. What Cos actresses these women are! ae wks Rat think ae pleasant evening?” ir. Merrion, wit! trembling on the ti of his tongue. . “No, I don't,” answered the widow, lifting her long eyelashes. “I think we shall have rain; and I'm sorry, for we have just commenced house-cleaning!” Mr. Merrion dropped the little hand suddenly as if his own hand had been stricken with sy! Mrs. Tyson's answer had killed the two birds of his heart’s hope with one stone! He had got his quietus, and he might as well go about his basi- ness at once! “They're all alike,” pondered our hero mood- iy. They would any one of them immolate a man’s heart upon the point of a carpet tack, or submerge hig soul in a pail of white-wash, an think they kad accomplished the whole duty woman. And the worst of it Is, that Mrs. Tyson never looked as‘pretty in her life as she does to- night Merrion went up stairs to k his valise for a Journey to the south; he felt that he could not endure the possibility of seeing Mrs. Tyson perhaps dally. ike the delicious pink-cheeked hat hangs on the sunny wall just be- the soecet bay Tone, ee pretty vox e precious in eyes roportion as became inaccessible. - Ma Sa cried a little when she heard that Mr. m was gone.

And Mer- rion walking in beheld Mra. Tyson in the act of reading his own love-letter. Cora jumped up,.and then sat down again; dropped the feather duster, Mut held tight tothe letter, while the rose blossomed redly out on her cheeks. eels Mr. Merrion had been south, but he found that a southern atmosphere was no medicine to mind diseased. And he had come back to his fate over again at a most auspicious moment, as it seemed. “Well,” said Mr. Merrion, glancing at-the let- ter, “do you think you can get along witha grum old bachelor like me?” “I shall try, at all events,” sald Cora de- murely. “Why didn’t you say so before,” asked Mer- rion reproachfully. * “Because you never asked me.” “TI wrote that letter a week ago.” “But I never saw it until this moment.” ‘* Ahi” said Mr. Merrion, a little bitterly. “I ight have known better than to propose in house-cleaning time!” “You ungrateful wretch!" cried Cora, with a smile that took off the sting from her words, ‘don’t you know that if it hadn't been for house-cleaning I never should have found your letter at all?” ‘ Well,” satd Merrion, relenting somewhat, “I won't Insist on the postscript part of it.” “You had better not!” said Cora. And then she came half down the step-ladder to give him the first kiss. Of course they were married; and of course they lived happy ever afterward. Mr. Merrion has even been heard rashly to boast toa friend that “his wife never cleaned house!” -But Gora promptly interfered. ‘What nonsense!” sald Cora. “Of course I clean house twice a year, but dear old Jack can’t believe that house-cleaning can go on unless all the carpets are up at once, and the whole house steams with soap suds and kalso- mine. A thing can be done well and quietly at the same time.” “That wasn't Mother Grimshaw’s method.” “‘As if Mother Grimshaw was a representative woman!” sald Cora a little scornfully. —__$§_ +. A GREAT CURIOSITY DESTROYED. Particulars of the Fall of the White Mountain Boulder of the Fiume. Lincoln, N. H., correspondence of the Con- cord Monitor has the following:— I started Thursday, 21st, on a business trip to Lincoln. Arriving at Plymouth, I learned that the Pemigewasset yailey railroad was washed I stepped aboard the mall stage, and after a ride of twelve or fourteen miles was invited to step out, nine milesthis slde of my destination, to make the rest of my Journey the best way that Icould through wreck and ruin. Last Wednesday, early in the forenoon, the clouds began to thicken and settle down In the moun- talnregion, and between 10 and 11 o'clock the 'Pa- \lightning was seen darting in all directions, andthe heavy roar ofthunder gave warning that a terrible shower was negr at hand. Soon rain fell in torrents, such as was. never known by the “oldest inhabitant.” During the heaviest of the shower, a thunderbolt that jarred the country for miles around darted down, entering Mount Liberty, or the South Hay Stack, near the top, starting a mass of rock down the steep side, which widened and deepened as it pushed its huge bulk along, leaving a channel fitty or sixty feet wide and about thirty feet deep. ‘The flood of water, carrying the huge mass with all of the heavy forest with it, entered the stream about half @ mile above the Flume, cutting away both sides of the stream in its course; then entering the Flume, swept’away the pine log lying across the top of the high walls, and the great boulder that has hung so many years suspended between the walls—a wonder to thousands—and bearing it down stregm about 1,000 feet below its old resting place beside the newly cut channel. The water was raised tothe height of nearly fifty feet inthe Flume. After assing the highest part of the Flume {t spread othe right and left, taking down nearly two acres ofthe heavy forest clean. Everytree, large and small, was stripped of its limbs and bark and broken into fragments. There must have been more than 100,000 feet of timber, besides alarge quantity of small wood, swept down in its course of nearly one and a half miles. The great bulk ofthe stone that was taken down was lodged on the “apron,” covering more than two-thirds of it with huge blocks.ot stone man: feet deep, and clearing off a new “apron” lower down. Nearly all of thespace fromthe bridge up to the lower end of the Flume is covered with stone and broken timber. A little south of this was another slide, much jarger than the one described, but it did not reach the Flume Brook. There was one also on the east branch about the same time, as shown by the green trees that floated down that stream for nearly two hours. It appears that a very large slide came down many years ago above the Flume, which may have made the great boulder that has just been forced from its pos tion by this torrent. Itis worth going a long distance to see what has been done by water in so shorta time, tor no pen can describe the reality. Some think it has added to the natu- ral attractions of the place. —_<o>___ A Dress Reform. From the Brooklyn Eagle. “I want to call your attention to our system of dress reform,” commenced an ancient dame with a very wide mouth, as she entered the man- aging editor's sanctum and threw her hat on the table. “Looks very pretty,” murmured the managing editor, surveying the Bloomer costume with a critical eye. “See how free and easy everything is,” con- tinued the woman, brandishing her arms'and skipping around. “Did you ever see anything to equal that?” “Don't think I ever did,” replied the managing editor, calmly. ‘I am prepared to say that I never saw anything anywhere that bore any re- semblance to it.” “Comfortable, pretty, accommodating all the limbs and giving free play to all the muscles. Notice that?” “Don’t realy see anything else," remarked the admiring editor. ‘That element seems to be the mainstay of the whole business.” “Now I want this paper to pick this scheme up and make it popular among the ladies of the nation. Are you prepared to go Into that branch of philanthropy?” “It’s a little out of the line of my duties,” re- sponded the managing editor. “I'll call in the religious editor.. He knows about such hings.” “I see, I see,” muttered the religions editor, as he took the show in at a glance.

TORNADOES. - Sicily Still the Great Source of Supply— | Sctentifically Accounted for, and Some Enormous tncrease in Consumption. ” From the New YerkTribune. Remote Causes that Produce Painfal Results Explained, A Tribune reporter called on one of the largest Pond following synopsis of a lecture delivered by Dr. dealers in frui¢ in the United States yesterday the pr ‘to get some information about the lemon trade. “Nearly all the ‘lemons handled in this mar- ket,” said the deater, “are Imported. . Sicily contributes meretitan all other countries put together. Calabria,:Messina, and Palermo send out large consignments, There are four crops each year. The lemons are cut from the trees when green ark pladed in magazines where they are subjected to & sweating or purging process. At the end of four or five Ways the fruit ts either stored away in shallow trays or packed for shipment. Lemons gathered in November and December have the best keeping qualities. T have mie lemons of this cut from November till June without destroying thelr market value. When the fruit arrives here it is sold at auction, this being the only way in which lemons and oranges are sold to the trade. One year ago a steamer arrived with a cargo of 36,000 boxes. The entire lot was disposed ot the same day. Unless the broker or dealer wishes to sell his purchase at onee the fruit is put away and ripened by steam heat.” “Is it true as reported that sulphur is em- ployed to give green lemons the appearance of ripeness?” asked the reporter. “Not that I am aware of, and I think I ought to know. Such a process would hurt the keep- ing qualities of the fruit,which of course would be a serious matter.” “Our business has entirely changed since the Introduction of steamers. The voyages by the old sailing fruiters were long and uncertain. A cargo of decayed lemons was the frequent re- sult of a voyage of several moaths. Now, with the rapid transportation at his command, the shipper can allow his lemons to remain on the trees many weeks longer than he could then, and is quite certain that on arriving at this market the fruit will be in good condition. “The best and consequently the highest case Jemons come from Sorrento. Great care is be+ stowed upon thelr cultivation. The fruit is long ‘nd smooth and has a beautiful golden color. These lemons are considered a luxury in Paris, where they are used not only by confectioners and bakers, but also by decorators. Generally speaking, a medium-sized, thin-skinned lemon isthe best. The large, coarse-grained varicty the poorest.and cheapest. “The United States consume more lemons in @ year than all other countries combined. Rus- sia comes next. The custom the Russians have of drinking their tea with a slice of lemon in it, accounts for the large consumption there. The growth of the lemon trade in this country dur- ing the last thirty years, has been enormous. In 1850 119,000 boxes were imported. Last year this number had increased 1,842,000 boxes. “The summer is our best season. ‘There is one more fact about the lemon and general fruit trade that is worthy of notice. The people in the far west will not buy any but the choicest fruit. It makes no difference what the prices are; they will buy it.” “It has been reported that ‘blood’ oranges have been manufactured by unscrupulous deal- ers out of ordinary fruit by Introducing an ana- line dye within the pulp of the orange. Do you think this can be true?” “No, I do not,” replied the dealer. ‘‘A punc- ture could not be made In the rind of an orange without injuring it.1 The fruit would begin to decay af once:at the point where the incision had been made. This would prevent the dealer from realizing’a profit on his oranges unless dis- posed of immediately.” ——_—_—-2-____ Lime-Kiln Club Business, From the Detroit Free Press.

The total number of melons for the season will be 145,852,287. The total number which will find their way into the hands of colored persons by purchase or otherwise will be 60,000,000. The number of melons which will be carried home, put on ice and found to be as green as grass when carved for dinner, will be 5,281,157. ‘The report was accepted and the committee discharged, and at the same time a resolution hindlg Watkins that the club offer a reward of $50 to any one discovering a way to preserve watermelons the year round was voted down by a large majority. # communication was received from Aber- deen, S.

Hamilton before the New York society for romotion of acience, contains so much that is timely snd Important that it ean be read with both interest and profit: ‘There is probably no subject af modern times thne has caused and is causing greater attention than th origin of tornadoes. Scientists have studied it for the benefit of humanity; men have investigated it for tho welfare of their families, It has been a vexed subject Joug considered, and through all this investigation the cyclone has swept across the land carrying destruction to scientists as well an to the innocent dwellers in its ‘rack. One thing, however, is certain: the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away trom the whirling body of wind iteclf. Its results are powerful; its cause must also be powerful. Let us, therofore, consider a few facta. First, the appearance of acyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots ‘upon the face of the sun. These spots, indicating a di-turbed condition of the solar regiona, necessarily affect the atmosphere of ourearth. An unusual generation of heatinone part of the atmosphere is certain to cause a partial vacuum in snother portion. Air must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the disturbances—henoe the cyclone. This theory finds additional confirmation in the fact that tornadoes oome during the day and notatnight. The dark spots upon the surface of the sun, whatever they ‘may be, seem to cause grest commotion in the atmos- phere of the world, and it {s almost certain that the ex- tremely wet weather of the present season can be ac- counted for on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable to that the marvelous effect of the sun upon vere- tation and life in general shall be less than upon the at- mosphere itself through which its rays come? The cause is remote, but the effeot is here. After describing some of the terribie effects of the cyclone the speaker went on to say:— ‘This rule finds its application in nearly every depart- ment of life. An operator is in San Francisoo—the click of the instrament manipulated by his fingers, 4n New York. The President makes a slixht stroke of the pen in his study at the White House, and the whoie nation is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and dia- sust with everything in life, commonly called home- sickness, is felt by many people, when the.cause is to be found in the distant home thousands of miles away. An ‘unoertain pain may be felt inthe hesd. It is repeated in other parts of the body. The appetite departs and all energy isgone. Is the cause necessarily to be found in the head? The next day the feeling increases. There are added symptoms. They contimus and become more aggravated. The alight pains in the head increase to agonies. The nausea becomes chronic. The heart grows irregular, and the breathing uncertain. All these effects have s definite cause; and, after years of deep experience upon this subject, Ido not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derangement of the kidneys or liver far away from that portion of the body in which these effects appear. But one may say, [have no pain whatever in my kidneys or liver. Very true, Neither have we any evidence that there is ‘8 tornado on the surface of the sun; but it is none the Jeas certain that the tornadois here, and it {s none the leas certain that these great orsans of the body are the cause of the trouble, although there may be no pain in their vicinity. know whereof I speak, for I have passed through this very experience myself, Nearly ten years ago I was the picture of health, weighing more than 200 pounds, and as strong snd healthy as any man I ever knew. When I felt the symptoms I have above de- scribed, they caused me annoyance, not only by reason of thetr agravating nature, but because I hed never felt any pain before. Other doctors told me I was troubled with malaria, and I treated myself sccord- ingly. I did not believe, however, that malaria could show such axgravated symptoms. It never ocourred to me that analysis would help solve ths trouble, aa 1 did not presume my difficulty was located in that portion of the body. But Icontinued to grow worse. I had a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I feit a great desire to eat, and yet I loathed food. I was constantly tired and still I could not sleep. My brain was unusually active, but I could not think oon- nectedly. My existonce was a living mystery. Icon- tinued in this condition for nearly a year; never free from pain, never fora moment happy. Such an exiet- ence is far worse than death, for which, I confess, I earnestly longed. It was while suffering thus that a friend advised me to make's final attempt to recover my health. I sneered inwardly at his sugxestion, but I was too weak to make ‘any resistance. He furnished me with aremedy, sim- ple yet palatable, and within two days I observed s slignt change for the better. This awakened my cour- age. I felt that I would not die at thst time. Icon- tinued the use of the remedy, taking it in accordance with directions, until I became not only restored to my former health and strength, but of greater vigor than I have before known. This condition has continued up to the present time, and I believe I should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are use have tested it, and thousands ot cures are testified to. Weakness from Indiscrotion, Incapacity, Lack of Vigor, Sterihty—in fact, any trouble of these organs is cured. Donot confound this with electric belts adver- tised to cure all ills from head to toe.
