THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1896—-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. 21 REASONS Given by Doctor McCoy to All Chronic Sufferers in Washington, Welcoming Every Sufferer From Catarrh, Bronchitis, Rheumatism, Deafness or Any Other Malady to a Trial Treatment Entirely Free. The purpose of this invitation ex- tended in the Trial Treatment Free clause given below must not be mis- understood. It is simply the result of the Famous Physician’s desire that the public may obtain without cost an adequate knowledge of the treatment which is the perfected re- sult of his life work, which, like his earlicr treatment given to the world ten years ago, will soon be in general adoption by the profession, which has Worked such cures in Deafness and Bronchial Disease alone as to startle the old school practitioners, which has already proven by the wonderful record of results that it will be the treatment of the future. In extending this invitation Doctor McCoy desires that its terms be un- equivocal. Every person in Washington to whom life has become a burden by reason of the filthiness and suffering of common Catarrh of the Head, Nose and Throat may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and receive a trial treatment free of charge. Every person in Washington who has become discouraged and tired of the vain fight they have been mak- ing against the cough, the choking spells and the ever-recurring ago- nies of Asthma and Bronchitis may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and get an ink- ling of what may be done for them by a better system of treatment than they have heretofore been receiving. They will be cheerfully accorded a trial treatment without charge. Every person in Washington who has lost strength of heart and strength of body and is becoming pale, amaciated and lantern-jawed and melancholy, by i torture and the starvation incident to chronic Catarrh of the Stomach may now apply at the offices of Doctors | McCoy and Cowden and receive, | without expense, an explanatory ad- | ministration of the treatment that has restored so many thousands of gloomy dyspepti Every person in Washington who may be undergoing the fiery agonies of Rheumatism or the blight, the suffering and the disfigurement of Eczema, or the weakness, failure, misery and decay due to any com- mon form of chronic disease may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and get a glimpse of happier conditions in store for them under the McCoy system of treatment. The free trial treatment will be ac- corded to all upon personal applica- tion. Hl To those who continue treatment ! until cured there will be no expense beyond the regular nominal month- ly assessment, all medicines in- cluded. DR. WCOYS RECORD.

No Matter Where You Are, Be Careful What You Say. From the New York Tim “I have known for some t!me that the world is small,” says a woman who trav- els, “but I did suppose one could make a comment in Europe that would not echo in America. On the piazza of a little inn in the Swiss mountains last summer I chatted with two ladies of a party we had encoun- tered at two or three places en route till we felt as if we had a little acquaintance with them. When they discovered that we were from Minneapolis one of them asked if we knew Mr. B—. As he is a very in- timate friend of ours, we cordially assent- ed, and fell to discussing the family. In- cidentally, I spoke of nis first wife, and commented on the fact that the present and second Mrs. B— refused to allow the Picture of her predecessor to hang in the house. “We never knew the first Mrs. E I said, ‘but we do know, and are very fond of, the second wife; there must have been something very peculiar about Mrs. B No. 1 to maks Mrs. B— No. 2 so persistent in her d&termination to keep all mention and memory of her out of the way. “By new found friend smiled a little THE REPEATED MIRACLE OF HEARING RESTORED.

Half Our Discases Dae to Errors of Diet. From the Sanitarian. How much harm is done to health by our one-sided and excessive diet no one can say. Physicians tell us that it is very great. Of the vice of overeating, as practiced by the well-to-do classes, in England especially, Sir Henry Thompson, a noted English pb sician and authority on this subject, says: “I have come to the conclusion that more than half the disease which embitters the middle and latter part of life is due to avoidable errors in diet, and that more mis- chief in the form of actual disease, of im- paired vigor, and of shortened life accrues to civilized man in England and throughout central Europe from erroneous habits of eating than from the habitual use of alco- holic drink, considerable as I know that evil to be.” ———+-e+_____ Corrected.

The front breadth is cut flat and quite wide, the fullness being all provided for behind, where it is screened by the skirt of a short jacket, or by the basque bob-tails so many gowns now show. A very smart variety of jacket comes square to the waist line on either side, drops in two moderate points In front and at the back overflows in a short but decisive swallow tail. Such a jacket has cuffs with points to match the front, flat gold buttons, 2 moderate lapel, and Is worn over a starched shirt front. For in- stance, a dark green jacket over a white front ‘striped with lighter green. Or a dark blue jacket may be worn over a shot blue and white soft vest. Starched fronts may have their unlovely lines disguised by a fichu of soft lace fall- ing from the collar and thrust cravat-wise irto the cpen front. Such vests have vis ble buttons only about half way up, leave plenty of room for the fichu. In Regard to the Skirt. Skirts are still mainly plain, but there are slight ebullitions of rebellion from the mode. Many, otherwise obedient, Indulge them- selves in rows of conspicuous stitching about the bottom. Another device is winked at by Dame Fashion: Let there be a jacket made, say of almond green or some shade no darker. Let the jacket cur! out at the hips in those saucy little basque tails so commonly worn, Let the waist be of very pale Nile green muslin, or of silk, pale green shot with pale pink. Then let there be upon each lapel six, and upon each cuff three, and at the seams of the dress in front on each side three more extremely military- looking tabs of dark green velvet. Upon a trim figure the effect is rather smart and military. The conduct of a woman on shipboard is a subject impossible to predict; the weather makes a difference, don’t you know. But it is easier to foresee that she will go aboard for her annual trip to the London Mecca of the hionables with at least the de- termination to be charming during every hour of the voyage when she is visible. Hence she trips up the gang plank in all the glory of picture hat and fluttering rib- bons; bat when the plank is drawn she gces below, to bob up serenely In a long minute with her curls tucked away under a jaunty cap, and a plain, close skirt—I have seen some lovely ones in mixed green, varying from light threads to almost black —and with a trim-waisted jacket. What agonies one must suffer in tight corset and tight high collar on shipboard, those who've tried it know; but “to be ‘beautiful one must suffer,” ‘as the French philosophers say, and there is nothing to add. Ideal Summer Gown. The fashionable grass linen, very plainly and severely made up, furnishes an ideal summer gown for knockabout use, a re- turn, too, to the linen dresses so sensible a few years ago. The leather belt is thls year shrinking into more modest size, while its substitutes expand in width, Draped belts of satin and velvet are prime favorites; narrow leather belts, when still worn, have to be decked with jewels and set with dainty buckles to be quite smart. Narrow gold belts are as common: as last year wider ones were. Canvas is almost as popular a summer material as grass linen, indeed, is often used with it, the canvas for skirt, the linen for bodice. White alpaca and white serge daintily vary the- prevailing browns and yellows. Batistes and wrenadines are to be much worn. or bicycle riding, use a short skirt. The bloomers would be in every way better if reason ruled, but in the matters of attire feminine reason doesn’t. The burnished iris of a shot silk would seem almost lovely enough of itself, but the caprictous fancy of the present spring cemands a mixture of three colors or pre- ferably with figures and flowers dotting their changing sheen. For children, girls as well as boys, there's nothing more pretty and modish than a sailor suit with perhaps a boatswain's cord and whistle worn loosely about the neck. The parasol of figured or shot silk is Trore frequently seen in comparatively plain makes as summer nears and renders a shade really necessary. Jackets and waists still have the stick- out-y effect at the hips reminiscent of basque days. Flowered silk waists are in demand for hot weather afternoon and informal even- ing wear.

The American Coaching Costume— Elaborate Gowns Displayed on Top of a Tally-Ho. At the most fashionable coaching pa- rade of the season it was hard to say whether the married or single ladies wore the most striking costumes. Some of the gowns worn by the wives of the swellest coach cwnera were almost startling. For instance, a white slik brocaded with red roses and trimmed with black velvet worn with a flower hat; a pigeon’s breast silk with sash and stock of pale green velvet, and a picture hat of yellow straw trimmed with pink roses; pale blue and white fig- ured foulard, with small bonnet of black straw; a gown of forest green moire with hat of the same shade trimmed with green and brown tulle. ‘The gowns worn by the unmarried fair ones varied as widely as they usually do at a dinner or ball; one of the prettiest was a violez silk with large, violet trimmed hat; others were: White etamine with white hat; ecru cloth with black hat, trimmed with plumes;pearl colored and pink change- able silk with big hat to correspond; blue and white foulard with black picture hat; mauve silk, with pale green hat and nod- ding roses. From a spectacular point of view it was all very beautiful. But from a_ practical standpoint it is of very little use to us except to remind us of what we cannot have. So much for coaching costumes. We cannot all have them—at least not to coach in—but we can get a few suggestions from them to make the gowns which we must, and therefore can, possess. Just a few hints about sleeves: In the first piace they must be either long or short, either brush the hand with a fall of lace or bind the elbow with a tight hand. As to width, they are certain- ly growing narrower. Some have merely outside drapery on the back of the sleeve, which is brought up to the top of the arm and finished with a little heading which stands out in front of the bodice Some of the newest shirt waists are of silk, with white collars. The cuffs are either of the material of the waist or of hite Hnen. A black silk waist taat nas satin stripes is made so that th ripes run round and round, and the collar is spoth white. It is ma exactly after the pattern of a linen shirt wai ais seems a pty. Surely one gets enough of made of w ing up mat themselves well to the shirt waist. hable materials for shirt waists. Grass lin en is by far the prettiest and coolest, as well as the most the serviceable, though it is certainly not cheapest. Ore can buy a grass linen with white collar for $2.50, but an all-li waist costs more. A pretty and servicea waist, with embroidered front, brown linen collar and cuffs, sells fer $3.75, and, all things considered, it neys to buy a good waist in the first place. Belts ere constantly progressing. The latest innevation is the snakeskin girdle, with Russian enamel buckle and a long tab of leather ti with enamel hanging down about fifteen inches in front. Monkey skin is the newest leather for be'ts, ave not changed greatly. There love made of two kinds of kid—undre:sed leather or top and dr ed her inside the hand. This is appropri- for ladies who drive. Another glove 8 no buttons, but is furnished on the in- de of the wrist with a rubber tape which retches when the glove is pulled over the hand, but comes back into place around the wrist. A ruff of very puffy pompadour ruching is a necessary finish to the out-coor tollet. It may be black, but light colors are more dressy. One made of white tulle is the daintiest I have seen. Fans of green and pale violet accordeon pleated mull formed a neck rvff that was decidedly striking. Grass linen, or rather silk linon bat which is very fine, is tsed for neck ri ings and ruffs, as well as capes, but then there are very few things for which linen batiste or linen in some form is not used. —— For the Bed Room. From the New York Post. White enamel bed-room sets are as fash- fonable as ever for the bed rooms of coun- try houses. The surface is either of the plain enamel with brass trimmings, or with decorations of Delft blue in the form of little landscapes, showing where pretty blue bridges stretch over equaily pretty blue streams, where there are boats on the water and wind mills by the shore, or bachelor buttons are painted in clusters or scattered singly over each piece. The blue decorations nay be conventional in design, and take the form of empire wreaths of leaves or flowers, or of scrolls. Often a few decorated pieces, a tollet table, and a chair or two, or perhaps a cheval glass, may be the only decorated pieces used with a plain white set. Again, the blue may only appear in the wall paper or hangings, or In ihe mantel ornaments and clock and lamp shades, which may be of Delft blue and white. The light through the globe shades of Delft blue and white is sing when it lights up a pally good little view of land and water. -priced. On sriced shades the’ drawing is very poor, and the boats ride in the and the wind mills occur in most impossibie places and positions blue and white shades look their b lamps of wrought iron. When blue and white is not chosen for a bed room, green and white, old pink and white, or violet and white are cool-looking colors to put together. Often a young wo- man who can paint flowers well decorates a window seat, a rocking chair and a writ- ing desk for herself. Such a room is charm- ing when the decorations are of violet and the white wall paper so Scattered with the same flowers, with many of them in a festooned frieze where there are many green leaves. This extreme daintiness of coloring should, however, only be chosen for a room where the maids who care for the house or the maiden who occupies it has leisure to keep it immaculaie. Wien a light coloring is desired, and white is not liked, curly birch and bird's-eye maple are both used for bed-room furniture. White furnishings have most opposite effects on different persons. One woman who nas a white room finds its glare tiresome; another thinks it restful. ‘Tramp vs. Dude.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS For the prickly heat rub the little one off with a towel dipped in strong salt and water, or in soda water, and then sprinkle the body thickly with talcum powder. Rub the powder in with the hand, and you will be pleased with the quick result. For the chiggers, pour a little coal oil in an old teacup and fill with warm water. Rub well with a cloth dipped in the mixture, and then use talcum powder freely. Salt and water is good; so is soda water. Mothers who fail to teach their children politeness are not doing their duty. Teach them to say “yes, sir,” and “no, sir,” “thank you” and “if you please. Don’t let them eat like little pigs, trusting to luck that they will grow out of it when they get older. Bad habits are only con- firmed if let alone. Teach them to yield up their chair to an older person who en- ters the room. To do the same thing when one enters the street car or herdiv. Teach @ little boy to lift his hat as his papa does—or ought to—when he meets a lady whom he knows, or when he does her a little favor in a public place. Teach your little girl to give her hand when intro- duced to or meeting people. Furthermore, introduce both your boys and girls to your guests. It is much pleasanter for them and teaches them early In Ife that they are of some account. This Is a good season for a housekeeper to be sensible and drop heavy diet. Give green salads and eggs with a very small supply of meat of any kind. Have lemon- ade or some other fruit drink for lunch and cut off the tea and coffee. Above all things drop pie and pudding from the din- ner bill of fare and give them light gela- tine desserts with fruit syraps, or cream, or give them fruit in the natural state. Drop the hat breads and serve little squares of nice crisp toast if they rebel against baker's bread, as any sensible pal- ate will, A diet along the lines suggested will soon straighten out craaky appetites, ea it will lighten your labors wondcr- ully.

Sometimes a cloth dipped in very not water and laid at the base of the brain will cure a troublesome headache. If it arises from a sour stomach, quarter of a teaspoonful of soda in a half a glass of water will finish the business. A “nervous” headache can only be cured by entire rest of the nervous system.

You can make a nice bath cloth out of a plece of toweling. Make a bag eight in $s squ and run a pucker- ing string in one end. Drop in it ‘all the bits of toilet soap, ad draw the s:ring. It makes an elegant wash cloth, and you are not bothered with soap. When you send the nurse out with the baby give her explicit instructions to not let the sun shine in the 's face. There is no doubt in the world that carelessness in this respect will account for the many weak-eyed children. Not even a grown person should sit facing a glare of light, yet the nurses in the parks let their little charges lie looking up at the brassy sky, utterly oblivious to the exquisite torture it must be to them. Better have a fewer lace fripperies on the parasol and some sense in the use of it. Did you ever won der what that heavy weight on one side of a locomotive- wheel was there for? Anyone who under- stands mechanics knows the need of ‘a counter-balance to wer and kcep the machinery Ate a steady even motion. With- equalize going wi out it the machine: y would wrench itself outof shape. It is the same way with the machinery of the human-body : it needs to go on steadily and regularly to be in good health—not by fits and starts. The sudden wrenching medicines which peo- ple sometimes take to overcome consti- pation, give a violent strain to the intes- tines which weakens them, so that the costiveness is afterwards worse than be- fore. What costive people need is a natural laxative like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets which are powerful without bei ng vio- lent. They move the bowels ually and comfortably but surely. Fou can late the dose—one, two or three “Pellets"—exactly as you need. They strengthen the intestines to do their own work, so that after their movements have become regular they keep on naturally of themselves. ‘The ‘‘ Pleasant Pellets" gently stimu- late and invigorate the liver to throw off biliousness ; and tone up the stomach to secrete the digestive juices, and over- come dyspepsia. The entire digestive, or alimentary, tract is put in motion in the regular steady way of nature and health. This is what makes the ‘‘ Pleas- ant Pellets’? so immensely superior to the numerous purging pills which wrench and weaken the system. Druggists may et more profit out of those other pills ut vou don't. The “ Pleasant Pellets” are tiny sugar- coated granules—4o or more in a little one-inch vial tightly corked, hence, al- ways fresh and reliable.
