FRESHMAN'S MISTACHE
'ARE FINED IN POLICE COURT
Try to Force Henry Sclmrnmii Out
of the School—Declares That lie
rr«iicse« to SttcU in Spite
of Opposition.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 20.—The students of
the University of Maryland Medical
t.chool are determined to maintain the
institution of hazing. Henry P. Schur
man, a freshman, is equally determined
r.ot to submit to hazing, * and Justice
Pee, a descendant of the poet, is mak
ing the hazers pay for their fun as
tiearly as possible. The authorities of
tin University of Maryland are standing
6ft, taking no part in the controversy.
The university is one aof the oldest
mi dical colleges in the country, but it
exercises no supervision over the stu
dents, most of whom are grown-up men.
They are required only to attend the lec
tures and clinics and to pass their ex
aminations.
Mr. Sehurman has a wife and two chil
dren. The second class men cons.-er,
however, that, despite his years, Schur
man, as a freshman, must remove his
mustache. This he refused to do, ar:cl
gave a drubbing to several who tried
t-» use force. Saturif^r. however, while
n< the dissecting room, Schurman was set
upon by a gang and held while his prized
mustache was cut off.
POLICE TAKE A HAND.
Ho reported the matter to Dean Cook
of tile university and linding no relief
there went to the police station. He
showed the blood-red marks upon his
throat, and secured a warrant for Guy
P. Asper, the principal offender. Justice
Pop levied a fine of $25.
The student body of the university,
fiom the seniors to the freshmen, de
nounced Schurman for taking the matter
to the police court as a breach of college
ethics, and cut him dead. The freshmen
class expelled him. Schurman said he it
tended the medical school to get a diplo
ma, and was not worrying about the rest
of the class.
As Schurman entered the college build
ing yesterday, he was rushed and hustled
and jostled about until his ideas were
thoroughly confused. Schurman was
again attacked as he left the buildir.;,
and again applied to Justice Poe. L. PL
Gurley, vice president of the freshmen
class, and E. M. Edmondson, of the
Paltimore College of Dental Surgery,
who came up to get into the game, were
arrested, and after a stressful trial each
■was fined $10 and costs.
STUDENTS' PARADE.
Several hundreds of the students par
eded to 662 West Fayette street, where
Schurman lives with his wife. With
loud cries of "We want Goo-goo. Com.'
Goo-goo,"' they surged up to the front
door, to be pushed back by a squad of
police. Cooper Drewery refused to give
•way, and was arrested.
The students last night burned Justico
Poe in effigy. The judge referred to the
matter while trying Drewey this morn
ing, and made another speech to the
body of students who packed his court
room. Then he made Drewey pay 56.45
for his fun.
fechurman says:
T will stick It out at the university,
and intend to graduate, no matter what
action is taken by the class. Were I a
young man I would not have said a
\vord about the matter, but would con
sider It ?. huge joke. They should
confine their pranks to men of their own
age.
At a mass meeting of the students
resolutions were passed maintaining haz
ing as a collegiate institution, and de
claring their intention of driving Schur
man from the school.
NARROW ESCAPE
FOR KITCHENER
EOERS CAPTURED HIS BAGGAGE
AND ALMOST GOT THE SIR
DAR HIMSELF
LONDON, Feb. 21.-A special. dispatch
/from Pretoria says the Boers at Klip
river, Feb. IS, derailed a train contain
ing Gen. Kitchener's baggage. The train
was preceded by another on which the
ccnimander-in-chief was a passenger. An
armored train drove off the Boers, but
the latter secured the contents of the
train derailed.
Lord Kitchener's second narrow escape
from capture calls out newspaper warn
ings as to the danger of his rapid flit
tinss by train from place to place. It is
considered better for him to remain in
Pretoria than to risk upsetting his care
folly elaborated plan of campaign.
As Lord Kitchener is now back in Pre
toria, the inference is that Gen. Dewet
has again escaped from the supposed
cordon. There is no further news of Gen
French's pursuit of Commandant Gen.
Botha" in the Eastern Transvaal.
Statements emanate from both Pretoria
and Brussels that Mr. Kruger contem
plates returning to South Africa. It
is said that he has just finished writing
a memorial on the war which will be
sent to the European governments and
to President McKinlty.
COLESBURG, Feb. 20.—A train was de
railed by the Boers near Jalbosch and
looted by natives. Two cars were or
dered out and the Biers fned on them,
killing two persons and wounding many.

ST. PETERSBURG, Friday, Feb. B.—
Minister of Finance De Witte is prepar
ing to introduce his plan for the reor
ganization of the St. Petersburg bourse,
which was announced about a year ago.
A new section for transactions in public
funds will be created which will be so
completely in the power of the minister of
finance that the newspapers make him
responsible for its success. The minister
will appoint all the members of the coun
dl until the organization is perfected,
and will retain permanently the right to
confer the choice of council members by
the active members of the bourse for
public funds. He will also name sixty
members of the bourse, and will perma
nently retain at his disposal sixty active
memberships. Upon his initiative any
member may be expelled or excluded from
participation in the assembly. The in
stitute of the brokers will be placed
under stricter supervision. When nomi
nated by the minister each will have to
make a deposit of 15,000 rubles. The
members of the institute of brokers lose
the existing privilege of executing the
orders of third persons, and w:li be- for
bidden to trade on their own account.

The first Russian steamer for Persian
gulf ports left Odessa a few days ago
with 3,000 poods, something less than 500

The government is being urged to lower

RIVER NAVIGATION.
A congress of waterways interests is
being held in this city. Prince Khll
koff, minister of ways of communication,
addressing the meeting on the day of
opening, sketched a programme for a
future great highway for the empire,
which almost staggers the imagination.
He said in spite of the 58,600 kilometers
of railroads In Russia, the transporta
tion of freight by water had been stead
hy increasing until now it amounts an
nually to 1,300.000 of poodversts (a pood is
thirty-six English pounds and a ve'rst la
nearly the same as a kilometer) The mean
distance traversed is 770 versts, or more
than three times the mean distance in
Germany.
Referring to the desire of the wate •
ways interests to improve the streams
and canals, he declared they must event
ually be made to accommodate vessels of
great burden.
MIGRATION TO SIBERIA.
The emigration to Siberia promises to
attain unusual dimensions this year.
Over 7.000 peasants have announce;!
their intention of leaving Odessa for
the Oussourie country. The immigra
tion during the first eight months of
]<.00, when the same rates were in force,
amounted to 213,000 persons. The re
turn movement amounted to 67,000 per
sons, many of whom were, of course,
i roepectors returning to report to the
v^lagers' assembly.
The Amur province Is practically set
tled already. The railway minister is
inviting competition by owners of auto
matic coupler patents. Priaes of 5,000
and 2.000 rubles are offered. The coup
lers must be able to operate under the
conditions of Russian climate and must
be applicable to cars now in service.
The council of the empire is deliber
ating the introduction of instruction in
the Russian language into the schools of
Finland. Gov. Gen. Bobrikoff intends to
establish Russian libraries in the prin
cipal cities of Finland.
Traveling libraries will also be intro
duced for the use of rural Russians in
Finland.

REPORT MADE TO THE NEWSPA
PER PUBLISHERS BY FRED
ERICK DRISCOLL
TO PREVENT LABOR DISPUTES
Aureement Favored With the Inter
national Typographical Union
for a Permanent National
Board of Appeals.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The large as
sembly room of the Waldorf-Astoria was
■«yell filled with prominent newspaper
owners and proprietors from all parts of
the country when the annual meeting
Oi the American Newspaper Publishers'
association was called to order thi3
morning. The newspaper men have
planned a session covering several days.
The annual banquet will be a prominent
feature of the meetings.
A very important matter, which took
up a good part of the afternoon, was
the question of arranging a scheme for
arbitration in all labor disputes. This
vas brought up in a report made by the
special commissioner of the association,
Col. Frederick Driscoll. He referred to
the action of the International Typo
graphical union, at its annual meeting
in Milwaukee last summer, after which
a special standing committee of the
Publishers' association was appointed.
This committee included Alfred Cowles.
of the Chicago Tribune; A. J. Lowen
stein, of the St. Louis Star; Herman
Riddock, of the New York Staats-Zel
tung, and A. A. McCormick, of the Chi
cago Times-Herald.
This special standing committee held a
meeting in Chicago last November, Joint
ly with the active committee of the In
ternational Typographical union. At
that meeting an agreement was formu
lated which will require that all labor
disputes in the office of a member of
the Publishers' association shall be
submitted to arbitration. The agree
ment provides for local boards of arbitra
tion from which appeal may be taken
to- a national board of arbitration. It is
provided, however, that the national
board shall not take evidence except by
a vote of a majority of the board. Rec
ords and briefs are to be submitted,
with either an agreed statement of facts
or a properly certified transcript of the
record. Pending the decision of ap
peals works is to be resumed and the
award of the national board may cover
the entire period from the time the is
sues were raised. The national boa-d
is to be composed of the president of the
International Typographical union and
the commissioner of the American News
paper Publishers' association, who, in
case of failure to agree in any dispute
shall name a third member of the board.
Expenses are to be borne equally by the
two organizations.
Following are two sections from the
agreement:
TO ENFORCE ARBITRATION.'
"Sec. 11. In the event of either party
to the dispute refusing to accept and
comply with the decision of the national
board of arbitration, sail aid and support
to tho firm or employer or local union
refusing acceptance and compliance shall
be withdrawn by both parties to this
agreement. The acts of such employers,
or firm, or local union shall be publicly
disavowed and the aggrieved party to
this agreement shall be furnished by the
other with an official document to that
effect.
"Sec. 12. The said national board of
arbitration must act when its servi^s
are desired by any party to a. dispute as
above and shall proceed with a.ll possi
ble dispatch in rendering such services."
After Mr. Driscoll, the commissioner
for the A. N. P. A., had presented his
report, James M. Lynch, president of the
I. T. 11.,I 1., was introduced and addressed
the meeting. He said that so far as he
knew all the local unions were In favor
of the agreement which is now being
voted on by them. If the agreement Is
ratified by both organizations it will go
into effect for one year.
This is the first time the publishers'
association has attempted to make such
an arrjmgemient. It is hoped the agree
ment may be broadened so as to cover
all possible labor disputes in newspaper
offices, but at present the press rooms
are not included, as they are not within
the jurisdiction of the International Ty
pographical union.
The association did not vQte on the
agreement today. The meeting will con
tinue through Friday, with a dinner Fri
day night.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., Feb. 20.-In the

the April Term o« Wichita
District Court.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20.-Judge Hazen,
of the district court, continued the case
of Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged with
smashing Murphy's joint, until the April
term of court. The cases against Eva
Harding, Mrs. Rose Crist, Miss Madeline
Southard, Mrs. c. C. Chadwlck and C.
R. McDowell were also continued.
Mrs. Nation enlivened the proceedings
in her characteristic way, displaying
more strongly than ever the fact that
the dignity hedging around the judicial
bench has no more terrors for her than
the commonest "joint."
Mrs. Nation arose several times to ad
dress the court, each time calling the
judge "your dishonor."
When asked if site were ready for
trial, Mrs. Nation, who acts as her own
attorney, said:
"Your dishonor, I am Incapable of try-
Ing my case this afternoon, as I have
been poisoned by cigarette smoke in the
county jail. I want to see how the
other cases are tried any way."
Judge Hazen looked at "the "joint
smasher" in a hopeless sort of way, and
then recognized Capt. J. G. Watters, one
of the attorneys for the defense. Capt.
Watters said:'
'T tried to find out yesterday which
of these cases were to come up, a'ld I
cculd not. I find that none of these cases
have been placed upon the trial docket.
There is no necessity for this swift ven
geance. JThis is a fair demand that the
case be" conTThued. The ordinary placid
procedure of court would be advancsd
by the giving of proper time."
STARK CASE MONDAY.
"It is the province of the court to see
that all have a fair trial," said Judge
Hazen. "It is not proper to railroad cases
through. I see that If the cases go
over until the next term of" court it will
be difficult to get a Jury. It will be bet
ter to settle the point- of law. I shall
call the case of Stark on Monday morn
ing. Ktark assisted in the raid on Sun
day. Mr. Stark's lawyers requested that
his clients case also go over for tins
term.
"I would prefer to try a man on this
charge, rather than a woman," said
Judge Hazen.
"You may call a special venire if you
wish and I think it will be necessary. I
expect to try only this one case."
Then Mrs. Nation said:
"Your dishonor, please, I think it would
be better to defer the decision as long
as possible."
"No, I think it will be better to settle
it at once and let the people know what
the- law is," said Judge- Hazen.
"We know the law," said Mrs. Na
tion.
"It seems that some do not," replied
Judge Hazen.
' Some judges do not know the law,"
retorted Mrs. Nation.
Miss Madeline Southard and Mrs. Crist
who have been with Mrs. Nation In tho>
county Jail, gave bonds for $500 each
and were released. One of the signers
of the bonds was Edward Wilder, treas
urer of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fo railroad.
Mrs. Nation and the others were re
turned to jail. The indication* ate that
there will be a bitter legal battle over
the trials. The attorneys for the de
fendants will insist that they be grant
ed a change of venue on account of the
alleged prejudice of Judge Hazen.

WALDERSBE'S BLUFF.
It was learned by a representative of
the /flssociated Press that the British
government tonight is without any fur
ther official explanation of Field Marshal
Count yon Waldersee's action in planning 1
an extensive expedition in China. The
government expects to receive tomorrow
advices from Berlin officially setting
forth the motive for the recent orders
issued by the co-mm-a.nder-in-c.hief of the
international forces in China. In fact,
such explanation has been asked for in
order that the cabinet at Friday's meet
ing may have some satisfactory basis
for its deliberations on the Chinese ques-
tion. However, It is pretty well unoffi
cially understood 4n Downing street that
Yon Waldersee's laction- was purely due
to a desire to bluff the Chienese. • The
action of the British members :of parlia
ment and papers,-' especially ; the - London
Times, In calling it i&. bluff causes the
greatest ■ chagrin 'and has given rise to
the feeling that it :is impossible to meet
Chinese finesse with' similar weapons.
- "The concert of powers," said-. an .offi
cial to the representative :' of the Associ
ated Press, "is so unwieldy and is com
posed o so many different : sec-;
tions . and subsections that diplomacy; Is
out of the question. If every move mjade

TWENTY-FOOT SNOW DBIFTS
Vicinity of Corry, Pa., Reports Half
• a. D»<icn Feet of Snow
■;:-;on the Country"
RoAfls. . '■. ■;.
CORRY, Pa., Feb. 20.—1n the history of
this region no storm ever before reached
the fury of today's blizzard. With half
a dozen feet of snow on country roads
and outlying city districts, Hatch street
buried under twelve feet of snow, Corry
caught about the worst part of the
storm. A heavy fall of snow accom
panied by a fierce wind of great velocity
set in last evening and has continued
with unabated vigor. It is still raging
tonight. The railways recognized the
fact that they had no ordinary storm to
contend with and made hurried prepara
tions to fight the elements. The West
ern New York & Pennsylvania railway's
accommodation train, due here at 8:45
a. m., was stalled in a drift higher than
the engine's stack, while rushing down
the summit, a huge grade south of this
city. It was dug out with difficulty and
again started on its precarious journey
toward Buffalo. It probably will not get
through tonight. This road is operating
its train with three engines and has
three plows at work on ninety miles of
track. The worst drifts are at Summer
dale, wHere they reach a height of twen
ty feet in spots. On the Philadelphia &
Krie a snow plow Jumped the track at
Jackson's while endeavoring to force its
way through a big drift. Traffic was de
layed several hours. For the first time
in many years this road has been com
liiWieo: lo use snow plows. The Erie is
also compelled to operate hastily Im
provised snow plows, something unheard
of on the main line west of Salamanca.
The Lake Shore and the Nickel Plate are
running their trains, but many hours
vf->ind time. Farmers cannot send a
horse through the snow and are forced
to walk miles for life's necessities. There
is undoubtedly much suffering among
them.

MILWAIKEBS TREASURY HAS
lIKB\ SYSTEMATICALLY LOOT
ED FOR YEARS
FORGED CITY CERTIFICATES
Amount , Secured by • the „ Thieve*
." '■ Is Not Definitely Known, ' •
but It May Exceed ■
$1 00,0001.
MTLWAUKKE, Wis., Feb. 20.—The
Sentinel tomorrow will say:
Evidence has been brought to light
which shows that the city of Milwaukee
has systematically been defrauded for
years. How much the city treasury has
suffered is not known exactly, but an
investigation which has been conducted
for the past two days by City Treasurer
Billow shows that the city has been de
frauded out of a sum which is estimated
anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000, and it
may even be greater.
The manner hi which those implicated
have operated was either to raise the
amounts of city certificates given to con
tractors for work done, or to issue fraud
ulent certificates, sometime? in the name
of living contractors, sometimes in the
names of wren who have been dead for
years. The names of members of the
board of puV-lic works and the city comp
troller were forged to these certificates
The discovery was made through an ac
cident. A representative of one of the
trust companies which had been loaning
money on city certificates, came into the
city treasurer's office with some orders.
They fell into Treasurer Uillow's hands
and he immediately discovered they were
not genuine.
FOR CRIME LAST SEPTEMBER.

FOSTORIA, O, Feb. 20.—Marsh Lind
say, a sporting man of this city, was
arrested today, charged with complicity
in the murder of W. C. Johnson, a
wealthy celery raiser, the crime having
been committed at the victim's home,
at Carey last September. Johnson was
beaten to death for repeated refusals to
divulge where his money was hidden.
Four men were engaged in the crime.
Lindsay has never been connected with
crime, so far as is known.

method and It cured me. I did not lose
a day on the road. Hundreds of mer
chants and friends in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and lowa know the wonderful
fact that this remarkable method cured
me, and I certainly feel thankful enough
to tell other ruptured people how they
may profit by my experience." Mr. You
rex lives in Cedar Rapids, 10., at 3t2M
First avenue.
Every ruptured person ought to send at
once and make a trial of this method
that cures without pain, danger, opera
tion or an hour's loss of time. - Begin
now, and in a short time you will never
know you had been ruptured. Write to
day sure.

TOPEKA, KAN., MOB WAS OETER

While Man, Accaned of . Criminal
Assault. Not Yet Sure or Hav
ing His Trial In n Court
of L:nv.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20.—The vigilanc*"
of offlcers was all that saved "Slick"
Slater from lynching by an infuriated
mob tonight. He will jet be lynched
if he can be found. Slater assaulted
seventeen-year-old Lottie Gerberick
Monday evening, and was captured by
Topeka officers the next day in Carbon
dale, twenty miles from here. The of
flcers kept the fact of the capture quiet
and placed Slater in the county jail here.
This afternoon it became known that
he was here and immediately the men at
the Santa Fe shops, where the girls
father, George Gerberick, is employed,
decided that he should be lynched. By
6 o'clock there was an angry mob of
a thousand men around the county jail,
demanding that the prisoner be deliv
ered to them.
SLEDGE HAMMER BRIGADE.
A brigade of sturdy Santa Fe boiler
makers, armed with heavy sledge ham
mers, stood ready to make short work
of the jail in case the demands were
not granted.
Sheriff Cook told the crowd that the
prisoner had been removed and offered
to let a committee search the jail.
Ten men, headed by Gerberick, made a
thorough search. ' Slater could not be
found and the men so reported. This
failed to satisfy the mob. and twice
they started to break in the jail doors.
It developed that early in the afternoon
the sheriff, in anticipation of trouble, or
dered a deputy to get Slater out of town.
The deputy drove to Hoyt with Slater
and entered a north bound Rock
Island train with him. It is thought
here tonight the man is now in jail in
Atchison. The Santa Fe shop men are
calmly determined to lynch Slater when
he is brought back here for trial, and
to this end have appointed a large vig
ilance committee to be constantly on the
lookout for him. The Santa Fe shop
men lynched John Olephant here twelvtr
years ago for assault. Slater is a white
man twenty-seven years of age.

exercises, a stir was created when Mrs.
Nesbeth, of Massachusetts, presented a
resolution to the effect that the state
ments recently circulated, attacking the
board of officers of the D. A. R. being
untrue, libelous and reflecting upon the
honor of the organization, they should

"Again, and for the last time, I urge
you to do your part toward this memorial
of the men who counted no sacrifice too
great for accomplishing our independence.
Let us put up *a building to which all
people can point with pride. It should
be one of the finest halls in the country,
for it will represent 350,000 of the best
women in Ameiica."
Mrs. Manning appealed to the members
of the congress to contribute $2 each. 1'
this is done, she said, $70,000 will be
raised.
Contributions to a considerable amount
were received for the continental hall.
Mrs. Donald McLean urged the hullamg
of a permanent memorial hall. She of
fered a resolution recommending that a
committee be appointed to discover the
minimum cost for which a site can be
secured and report the result of its find

Mrs. McLean's resolution, after a h.ated
debate, was adopted.
Mrs. J. M. Hoiton, of Buffalo, extended
to the congress an invitation to visit the
Pan-American exposition.

British Engineering: Exports De
crease. American Exports Increase.
LONDON, Feb. 20.—Sir Christopher
Furness, the well known ship owner
and engine builder, at the annual meet
ing today of Robert Stephonson & Co.,
said that while the exports of engines
from the United Kingdom were decreas
ing, the exports from the United Statei
were increasing at a very remarkable
rate. Jt was stated that the works at
Newcastle on Tyne would be transferrei
to Darlington, eighteen and one-half
miles south of Durham, in order to se
cure land for extensions of the works,
cheaper than is possible at Newcastle.
The company's information is that
while Great Britain's exports have de
creased one-quarter during recent years,
the United States exports of locomotives
have expanded 450 per cent.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Senator Teller gave notice of an amend
ment he will propose to the St. Louis Kx
position bill, requiring the management
to close the gates of the institution on
Sunday.
The statement having been publishod
that Gen. Harrison Gray Otis was seeking
the office of pension commissioner, Gen.
Otis tonight authorized a denial of the
publication, saying that they were with
out~"a shadow of foundation.
In obedience to the call made upon Sen
ator WolcoU. as chairman of the con, •
mittee on postofflces, while Senator Ma
son's pneumatic tube amendment was un
der discussion in the senate, the Colo
radoan called a meeting of Ihe commit
tee immediately after the senate adjdurn
ed to consider the amendment. The com
mittee" was in session for half an hour
and failing to reach a decision, adjourn
ed until today.
The senate committee on foreign ro
lations took adverse action on the reso
lution heretofore introduced by Senator
Morgan, declaring the right of the Unit
ed States to proceed with the construc
tion of the Nicaragua canal regardless
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The rea
son given for the committee's action was
that it would be discourteous to Great
Britain to take this action while the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty is still pending before
the Britisfi government.
More than 1,000 sailors and marines,
the biggest contingent the navy has had
in Washington since the Civil war, will
march in the inaugural parade. In ad
dition to the Dolphin, the Sylph, the big
double turreted monitor Puritan, Die
Dixie, the Hartford, the Topeka. ;m 1
the Lancaster have been ordered to Wash
ington to participate in the ceremonies.
These big ships cannot all reach \.'<e
capital because of their draught, but will
be anchored in the Potomac, probably ()|T
Alexandria, making a pretty naval dis
play, for they will be handsomely dressod'
with flags by day and illuminated by
electricity at night.
WOMEN WHO SUFFER.
Thousands Everywhere Who
Endure Terrible Torture.
Death Often Welcomed as a
Means of Relief.
A Little Knowledge Wonld Often
Avert Much Agony*
"Women are the sufferers of the human race.
Their delicate oiganism is the cause ol
frequent and severe pain.
There is no reason why women should lca<7
a life of such perpetual misery. God did not
intend that this should he the case.
It is enough that women should suffer in
giving hirth to children. It is too much to
ask her to suffer at other times, yet many
women experience each month tortures that
are second only to the pains of child birth.
"What Is the cause of this t It nearly
always can be found in a disregard of Na
ture's laws, improper food, insufficient ex
ercise or carelessness in other matters of
hygiene, all of which go to weaken those
organs in women that are the source of such
pain and misery, misery not only to the
Woman herself, but to her entire family.
What can be worse than to be always
looking ahead to a time when several days
of helplessness will ensue ? It is impossible
to make plans for the future, especially in
cases where the monthly periods are irregu
lar. There is no knowing when a woman
will bo able to attend to her every-day duties,
or will ba prostrated flat on her back, and
the worst part of this trouble is that such
irregularity and pain goes hand in hand.
"Women who suffer and are irregular in
their periods experience much greater hard
ships in child bearing. They are in much
greater danger during child birth. TVorse
lhan anything else, the progeny of such
women are sickly, delicate, and undersized.
Such children start life at a disadvantage.
They are the kind that grow into sickly,
nervous, and peevish men and women.
Why not eliminate all this suffering from
trour life ? You can do it. Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and ncrvo remody is the
greatest - boon known to women. It do?s
everything that Nature craves for to make
women wcil and strong.
Dr. Greene's Nervura does not stop here by
any means. It continues in its good work by
strengthening the stomach. It invigorates
the kidneys, and makes the liver active and
healthy. It regulates the bowels and gives
Btrength to thoso organs of women that are
too frequently a source of trouble to them.
One case of the many that wo hear of that
indicates what Dr. Greene's Nerrura blood
and nerve remedy does comes from Lulu.
Reynolds, of Rockport, N.Y., who says:
" I have been ill fora long time, and could
get no help, having employed several doctors,
until I got Dr. Greene's Norvura blood and
nerve remedy. Now that I have taken a few
bottles of it, I feel well, and I shall always
bless Dr. Greene for having put such a good
medicine on the market. I can never say
enough in favor of it. Before taking it I
Buffered with heart trouble, female weak
ness, and was so nervous that I could not
hear to have anyone cross the floor. I had
darting pains all over me. Once I had St.
Vitus' dance. My menstruations stopped
entirely. In fact, I wont through every
thing that flesh is heir to and lived. O.n
anyone wonder that I feel so thankful for
my health, for I am but 29 years of age, and
life is as sweet to me as to others, and I
had made up my mind that I might as
well die as to live in such pain. Everyone
in my neighborhood fthinks I was raised
from the dead, as they know what it has
done for me. I will bo glad to explain t-Q
any lady who wishc3 to know moro of what
Dr. Greene's medicine did forme, if she will
Bend me a stamp."
Anyone wishing tho advice of this great
blood and nerve specialist may have it abso
lutely free if they will write to Dr. Greene
at his office, 35 \V. 14th St., New York City.
