Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in thia way they all present, alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or overbusy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, then are all only symptoms caused by some womb disorder. The physicinn, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. Tho suffering Catient gets no better, but probably worse y reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. The lady whose portrait heads this article Is Mrs. Ida Coventry, of Huntsville, Logan County, Ohio. . She had an. experience which we will permit her to relate in her own language. It illustrates the foregoing. She '/rites: “I bad ‘female weakness" very bad—in bed most of the time, dragging down pains through my back and hips ; no appetite; no energy. The family physician was treating me for ‘liver complaint’. I did not get any better under that treatment so I thought I would try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and his ‘ Golden Medical Discovery? I felt better before I used one bottle of each. I continued their use until I took six bottles of each. In three months’ time I felt so well I did not think it necessary to take any more. In childbirth it does what Dr. Pierce recommends it to do—lessens the pain and perils to both mother and child ana shortens ‘ labor ’. I would like to recommend Dr. Pierce’s Extract of SmartWeed to those who have never tried it; it surely is tho best thing for cholera morbus, or pain in the stomach I over used ; it works liko a charm. # I try never to bo without it.” Tho following is from Mrs. Harriet Hards, of Montpelier, Idaho: “ I have enjoyed better health since I began treatment with Dr.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICALDISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, cf ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. Send postal card for book. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime. Sold by all Druggists.

With pleasure, I remain,” Yours truly, The following is from Mrs. M. A. McAllister, of Lim Rock, Jackson Co., Ala.: “I was in bad health ; age was working upon me, and I had ulceration of the womb ; could not get about. I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it cured mo ; I felt ten years younger. I have not had any return of my trouble. lam the mother of thirteen children and I am fifty-three years old, have never seen a better woman’s friend than your medicine. I have recommended it to my friends here, and it has never failed in any case, so let me thank you for the good it did me.” Yours truly, For “worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated school teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, general housekeepers, and overworked and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best of all restorative tonics. It is not a “ cure-all,” but admirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a most potent specific for all those chronic weaknesses and diseases peculiar to women. It is a powerful, general as well as uterine, tonic and nervine, and imparts vigor and strength to the whole system. It cures weakness of the stomach, indigestion, bloating, nervous prostration, hysteria, debility and sleeplessness.

SCIENCE OF BIMETALLISM.

Free Coinage tbe Only Rational Remedy for the Monetary Disturbance*. In discussing the recent further sharp decline in silver the London Daily News says: “A full trial has just been given in the United States, under the most favorable auspices, to the attempt to support the price of silver by artificial means The failure has been so absolute that it is difficult to believe that other governments or a combination of governments should seriously undertake the task.” This refers, of course, to the operations of the purchase clause of the Sherman law, and, possibly, to the limited coinage provision of the Bland act In one sense the remark is true. The parity betw en gold and silver as money metals can never be secured or maintained by such artificial measures as those mentioned. The fundamental, theory, let us say the scientific doctrine of bimetallism, implies the requirement that the governments shall provide mints in which all holders of either of the monetary metals may convert the same into coin bearing a government stamp to indicate its value. The ratio of value at which gold and silver may thus be coined under this system, while apparently arbitrary, still approximately represents the relative abundance of tbe two metals. Free coinage, then, is not an artificial device for determining and maintaining the parity of gold and silver at the established ratio, but is a natural or at least a rational and scientific plan. And it is the only rational because the only effective remedy for the restoration of silver as a money metal. It does not follow, however, that the tentative efforts of the friends of silver coinage in the United States to stem the wide-spread movements for the universal iMid final demonetization of silver have not been effective to a certain degree. The London paper from which we have quoted speaks- of these measures as absolute failures, but that is absurd. The operation of the Bland coinage act and the Sherman purchase law added something over $450,000,000 to the silver circulation of the United States. And aside from the influence upon the market value of silver bullion which the demand for that amount had, the moral effect upon the monetary world has been enormous. While it did not serve to maintain the parity of silver with gold at the fixed ratio, because the chief countries of the world, including our own, have abandoned scientific bimetallism,» still the United States stood in the breach and prevented the worst results. It was only when we surrendered to the movement headed by President Cleveland that the serious and continuing decline began. The action of the India council in closing the Indian mints was a secondary cause brought about by the certainty that the United States were about to repeal the purchase act. The Bland coinage act, the Sherman purchase law and the pending measure to utilize the silver seigniorage in the treasury may all be considered as friendly to silver without being directly in the interest of scientific bimetallism. But the only rational remedy, we repeat, for the money disturbances which have paralyzed the industries and commerce of the world is tc return to free coinage.—San Francisco Chronicle.

A DESPERATE SITUATION.

Mr. Mnreton Frewen, of Englund, Gives His Views on the Rehabilitation of Silver -There Must Be a Return to the White Metal. During the past five days silver has fallen nearly three cents per ounce, and now that the secretary of state for India has decided to sell Indian council drafts without the restriction of a minimum price, these sales must inevitably further weaken the market for bullion silver. It must not be lost sight of that the government of India is behind hand in these sales to no less ar. extent that $35,000,000 since the mints of India were closed last June, so that, as a matter of fact, that government has at this time awaiting sale almost the entire silver product of the United States mines for an entire year. This estimate will give you some idea of the desperate condition of Indian finance since India closed her mints last June. Up to June last, India had for very many years enjoyed such a large balance of exports over imports that this balance enabled her to pay the gold interest on the large sums she had borrowed in England, but since the closing of the mints her exports have fallen away as if magic, so that India, a debtor country, has at this time a large excess of imports over exports. Now. as to the effects of the fall in the price of silver during the past few days. The Manchester Guardian commences its le iding article with these words:

“It is probably no exaggeration to say that the present week has been a period of bewilderment and even consternation on the Manchester Royal exchange without any parallel in the history of that institution.” And the Guardian proceeds to say: “With the allotment of council bills the commercial world learned with amazement that the secretary of state for India, who was already in arrears to the extent of £7,000,000 with hissales, has abandoned his minimum rate in order to dispose of bills to the ridiculous' amount of £1,500. The incident recalls to mind the famous sale three years since in New York of about £2OO worth of silver, which threw the Indian budget £1,000,000 sterling wrong within a week of its publication, depressed government and all other silver securities to the extent of many millions more, and similarly affected every current commercial transaction with India, China and all other silver currency countries.”

Such is the financial position in Great Britain to-day. The eastern exchancres have now relapsed into such a Condition of helpless muddle and weakness that our export trades to 700,000.000 of our best customers are almost annihilated, and because this “free trade” nation can no longer sell to Asia we can no longer buy at any decent prices from America In every section of the in-

habited world to-day the si.ver poison is in the financial system. You will gather from the above statements which I send you from the moat important Gladstonian newspapers without any exception in England that the complete ignorance and levity of Mr. Gladstone and his advisers in experimenting with the currency of that empire is exciting the utmost hostility on the part of the industrial community generally, while the advocates of currency reform in this country are displaying in every direction renewed courage and increased activity. At the same time so demoralized is the Indian office at the havoc created since June last that I rather anticipate panic sales of council bills during the next few months, which may bring the eastern exchanges some points lower and weaken the market for silver bullion by several cents per ounce more; and yet the pressure of the commercial world to prevent such sales at knockout prices will be very great There are to-daj’ in every one of our great commercial centers vast numbers of merchants trading with the east to whom a slight further fall in exchange rates spells ruin, writ large; but for the most part these victims are sem'--paralyzed by the very imminence of the danger, and this being the case any effective protest is hardly to lie expected. Turning to Germany, the nation which at Brussels was only second to Great Britain in hostility, or at least indifference to the “silver question,” we now find the silver men in the new reichstag practically holding the balance of power, and that a German currency commission has been appointed to consider the position. Of its members Bamberger, Grendt, Kardorf, Mirbach and Leuschner, all but Bamberger are bimetallists. The scope of the deliberations of this commission will be best understood from the speech which the Prussian minister of agriculture (Von Heyden) made in the Prussian upper house. He said: “If it be expected that the currency question is the lever by which our agriculture could receive quick and successful assistance, I think this is hoping too much. The currence question is not likely to find so rapid a solution. But after all that the newspapers l»ave of late published, after the letter of the Prussian conservative union to the chancellor, and the answer of the chancellor, I am empowered, in the name of the government, to declare that we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the low price of silver has an influence on the general level of prices, and that the constant fluctuations in the price of silver have an unfavorable effect on our working population. lam further empowered to declare that it is not the intention to have another theoretical investigation into the whole currency question—for on that point we have already ample material—but to make an earnest effort to deal with this question in a practical manner. Wo shall have to investigate whether, and how, after the measures lately taken in the United States and in India, something can be done to rehabilitate, or, at least, to raise the value of silver and to lessen the fluctuations in the price of silver. Lastly, we shall have to see whether Germany is in apposition to do this alone, by her own legislative action, or whether international arrangements are possible, advisable or necessary. ” And Reuter’s telegrams include this statement:

“The agricultural society of France has been discussing the question of the free coinage of silver, and has agreed to a declaration that the Latin union, supported by the United States, would be strong enough to impose monetary law upon the entire world. It has also resolved that if a new relation was adopted between the two metals the modification ought to be applied to gold. ” We may rely upon it that events are now shaping themselves more rapidly than appeared possible a few months ago, and that in spite of an honest criminal ignorance of the question in high places, the world of trade and industry is resolute to return to the white metal, and to that we must come if even through a deeper depth of immediate distress.—Moreton Frewen, of London, in Washington (D. C.) Post

SILVER CERTIFICATES.

Coin the Seigniorage and Redeem Them In Silver Hollars. The gold-bugs claim that the entire bullion purchase is a pledge in the treasury for the redemption of treasury notes issued in payment for the bullion, and that coining the seigniorage would be bad faith on the part of the government. The law under which these bullion certificates were issued states that they shall be redeemed in coin. It nowhere provides for their redemption in bullion. If it did, the government could still make money by calling in its certificates and compelling the owners to accept the bullion, which is now worth less than the amount paid for it In other words, it would be cheaper to redeem them in bullion than in gold. If the bullion is a pledge for the certificates no one can ask more than a return of the pledge for the pawn tickets issued. Either the gold-bugs must accept the. full signification of their argument, or they must drop it as illogical

What else can be done with the bullion? There are no other uses to which it can be put except turning it over to the certificate owners or coining it into money. As long as the certificates circulate redeemable in gold on demand, it is folly to talk of the bullion as a pledge except so much as will make as many silver dollars as the face of the treasury notes. The seigniorage is available under every law on our statutes. The only question is as to whether $55,000,030 in silver added to the present supply will affect the government credit. When its bonds sell at a premium it is absurd to talk about trouble from so small an expansion even if the sliver dollar is worth less than the gold dollar, which ia yet to be proved.— Topeka Pres*.

We can mention no failure more disastrous than that of physical energy. It involves the partial suspension of the digestive and assimilative processes, and entails the retirement from business of tho liver and kidneys. Only through the good offices of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters can the restoration of its former vigorous status be hoped for.
