Her name is Mrs Luther Lufz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co,, of Shelby, N C.—Get a free bottle at F. B- Meyer’s Drug Store. 2;

Life—The Tenacity of Women. It appears from the gathered statistics of the world that women have greater tenacity of life than men. Despite the intellectual and physical strength of the latter, the softer sex endures longest, and will bear pain to which a strong man succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal to males, and more male children die than female. Deverga asserts that the proportion dying suddenly is about 100 women to 780 men; 1,080 men in the United States committed suicide to 285 women. Intemperance, apoplexy, gout, hydro l cephalus, affections of the heart or liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far more fatal to males than females. Pulmonary consumption, on the other hand, is more deadly to the latter. Females in cities are more prone to consumption than in the country. All old countries, not disturbed by emigration, have a majority of females in the population. In royal families statistics show more daughters than sons. Tlia Hebrew women are especially longlived; the colored man exceptionally short-lived. The married state is favorable to prolongation of life among women. Dr. Hough remarks that there are from 2 to 6 per cent, more males born than females, yet there is more than 6 per cent, excess of females in the living population. From which statistics we conclude that all women who can possibly obtain ©ne of these rapidly departing men ought to marry, and that, as men are likely to become so very scarce, they cannot be sufficiently prized by the other rot .'-Modern 4ge.
