WHY t IJocatue it is llio only rem
all known that has power to expel the
acid and urea, of which tlioro lire
some f)00 grains gecrotcil each day as
the result of muscular nclion, ami milli
ciunt if retained 111 tho blood, to kill
six men. Il la lliu direct causu of nil
llio above diseases, as well asot Heart
Disease, Hhciimatisni, Apoplexy, Paral
ysis, Insanity and Death.
This great sprcitio relieves llio kid
neys of too much blood, frees them
from all irritants, restores them to
licaltliy action by its certain and sooth
iiifl power.
IT CUKKS ALSO Jaundice, En
largement of tho Liver, Abscess and
Catarrh of tho Bile Ducts, Biliousness,
Headnchi', Fiirred Totigup, Sleepless
ness, Languor, Debility, Constipation,
I Sail Stones, and every unpleasant
symptoln which results from liver com
plaint. WHY? Because it has a specijic
nnd positive action on the liver as
well as on tho kidneys, increasing the
secretion nnd ilow ot bile, regulates its
elaborate function, removes unhoalth
ful formations, and in a word, restores
it to natural activity, without which
health is an Impossibility.
IT CURES ALSO Female com
plaiuts, Leucorrluea, Displacements,
Enlargements, Ulcerations, Painful
Menstruation, makes Pregnancy safe,
prevents Convulsions and Child-Bed
Fever and aids nature by restoring
functional activity.
WHY? All these troubles, as is well
known by every physician of education.
arise from congestion and impaired
kiduey faction, causing stagnation of
the blood vessels and breaking down,
and this is the beginning and tho di
rect cause of all tliu ailments from
which women suffer, and must as
surely follow as night does tho day.
Will Warners bate (Jure is ac
knowledged by thousand'' ol our best
medical men to be the only true Mood
punher, is becauso it acts upon ecien
tifio principles, sti iking at tho very
loot of tho disorder by its action on
the kidnoys and liver. For, if these
organs icere kept in health all the
motbid uastc matter so dcadlii poison
ous if retained in the body, is passed
out. Un the contrary, it they aro de
ranged, tho acids aro taken up by the
blood, decomposing it and carrying
death to tho most remote part of the
body.
WHY 93 per cent, of nil diseases
which afllict humanity, arise from im
paired kidneys, is shown by medical
authorities. Warner's Safe Cure, by
its direct action, positively restores
tnem to health and lull working capic
ity, nature curing all the above dis
cases herself when the cause is re
moved, and wo guarantee that War
ners oato luuro is a positive preven
tive it taKeu in time.
As you valuo health tako it to avoid
sickness, as it will at all times nnd
under all circumstances keen all the
vital functions up to par.
Wo also Guarantee a Cure and ben
elicial effect for each of the foreccimr
diseases, also that yvery case of Liver
and Kidney trouble can boenred where
degeneration has Not taken place, and
even then Benefit will surely bo De
rived. In everv instance it has estab
hshed its claim.
AS A BLOOD PURIFIER, par
ticularly in the Snrinc, it is unequalled
for you cannot have pure blood when
the kidneys or liver aro out of oulor.
JjOoic to your condition at once.
JJo not postpone treatment for a day
nor aii hour. The doctors cannot
compare records xcith us. Givo vour
self thorough constitutional treatment
with Warner's Safe Cure, and there
aro yet many years of life and health
assured you!
Tho Rov. Sam Jones, who is en
caced in tho rather up-hill iob of con
verting Cincinnati, thus talks about
pew renting: ".Methodism is as mud
out of place in rented pews as a Geor
gia cornfield darkey would be in the
White House. A Methodist that
wouldn't givo moro voluntarily to his
pastor man no would tor his pew is a
disgraco to tho church ho belongs to,
and tho Methodist who is selfish
enough to pick out tho best new in the
house for himself and iamily becauso
ho has a little moro money than some
one else, that man has selfishness
enough m him to damn him. That'
about the fact of the matter. If I was
in this church and was obliged to tent
i pew i would rent tno best one in tl
church, nnd 1 wouldu t let my daucht
or ray wifu go into it, but wo would
eland in tho rear and givo sinners tho
pew. 'ihoy will goto hell if borne
thing iso t done lor them, and wo can
not afford to let these sinners be damn
cd. I lovo a Christian that will divide
his l.nt nicklo with God, and I lovo
man who is gouerous to ail people and
generous everywhere.

ABOUT MOUNT VERNON.
A Glance ut riecdiiur. Mecca and Its
Treii.ures.
Tho great of many lauds journey to Mount
Vernon to look upon the tomb of Winning
ton. 'Tis hallowed grottnl. The spirit of
tbo past is about it. Like a picture of a
vanished time tin old' Virginia dwelling
and its fair surroundings greet tho eyes of
tho pilgrims who visit it Tho scheming,
striving atniDipherj of the capital fall
away from one like n garment on entering
that holy rotroat. There lutimrie of the
man who loved liborty so well that he gave
his life to her service extluguUU the worldly
ambitious of tho day. llefotu that plain
but eloquent tomb nil stand in roveronce.
It holds the clay garments of a hero. There
heads are uncovered and beut, eyes grow
dim, and reverent lips pray.
Mount Vernon was named in honor of Ad
miral Vernon, under whom its founder,
Ijiurenco Washington, served in the British
navy. It was built in 1741), Is in Fairfax
county, Va., located on tho right bonk of
the I'ntomac, seventeen miles south of
Washington. The hoo, or mansion, as it
was orlgiually called, U two stories high
and contains six rooms of moderate size oa
tho ground door. The picture represents it
as seen from tho river.
Otn. AVaskiugtou bequeathed Mouut Ver
non to Iiushrod Washington. At Uiuhrod'g
death it passed into the bauds of his uephow,
John A. Washington, who, in IMS, sold it
to the'Ladle' Mount Vernon as eolation for
f 200,000, Edward Everett contributing ovor
108,000. Tbo association holds the place in
trust, as a place of public interest, and
upou the dUsolutiou of the association
or its failure to perforin the objects for
which it was formed Mount Vernon will re-
vert to tbo state of Virginia. Tho tomb Is a
few hundred yards from tho house, near a
small wooded ravine. The picture represents
tbo entrnneo, Tho body of Washington was
removed thither from the old family vault in
1SU. A plain and poor structure, indeed, Is
the tomb wbero rests tho mortal part of
tbo great patriot. Its front is rough, and
has n plain iron door inserted in a stono
casement. Over the door, on a stone panel,
Is graven those words: "I am the Resurrec
tion nnd tho Life; ha that bolieveth in Me
though he mere dead, yet shall he live." A
brick wall, twelve feet high, incloses ths
tomb. Its Iron gateway extends eevcrat
feet In front of tho vault door, over which.
In the stoue coping, is a tablet with this In
tcriptioui "Within this inclosura rest tho
remains of Oen. (Jeorge Washington,"

torlc tlmi when alio vuu the first lady of the
land, thorite of tho revered first jreiid?nt
of tho United Htite..
She ( doicrlbed a lnvfng boon rather bp
low lnetllitiu height, but daintily formed, with
a pleasing fico nnd dark bezel pyo. The
picture Riven hero U from nil eng:mvlns
taken from Gilbert Stuart's painting in her
later yenr IVrhapi tha bet sketcli of Um
mow lu print is tlie que In Laurn C. Mo lo
way's (opular lKKk, "Tho Ladles of thu
White House," which also contains a iluo
engraving of her in her youth, m well a
one when she bad become a Mhlte-halred
grand mot her, engraved from Ktuart'si pic
ture. There! 1 li charmingly told the story
of her llrst meeting with tho llluitrloui
"Washington, then n young co'onel. It was
in 17.VJ, at the bouo of Mr. Chnmberlayno,
at New Kent, VnM whiU AVasbinglon was
on his way to Williamsburg, attended byn
body servant.
Sho was 2(5, beautiful, rich nnd n widow.
Ho was near tho samengc. famous and hand
some. Thoy were mutually pleaswl, and
after a few meetings nrranjed for a mar
riage. Martha Danbridge was iho daughter of a
Virginia planter, and was born In lti2 Her
education was Bitch ns I be limited facilities
of tho times nlTonled, her svoclal pleasures
compassed by tho society of Willi unsburg.
When very 3'otiug she w os married to Col.
Custls, n rellued, polished and generous man.
Thoy lived not fur fiom tho plantation of
Mrs. Custls father, happy and blessed dur
ing a few fleeting years. They had threo
children, tho eldest an unusually bright boy,
who died a few trnntlis 1 eforo his father.
Col. Ctutls dld of consumption, leavlug hU
young widow the potnntor of a ilch estate.
Hercounlrv home, where Wn-hington be
came eng'igiil in her, was railed the AVhlte
House, l-Votu that the executive mansion nt
Wndim?tun took Its mine,
The Washhigtuns l!gun life at Mt. Ver
non. 'Ihey wpiu wealthy aud retluud, and
the best buciety of the country was glad to do
tbem honor. For flftoim successive years
Wasliiiigton wis n meiiibor ot tho legislature
of his statu. His wltn always acconinnloi
lilm to WilllaiuUiunr. then tho capital of
VlrRlnla. Anil to, tit-aillugon flowers, time
8lippod asvoy noiselessly for these happy (leo
plo. Then canio a tlmo at last when for
eight yeuis tho I oom of cannon ami the roar
of musketry shook every home in tho land.
The happy family at Jit Vernon buffered
disruption with the rest, for its head was
tho lender of the old Continentals, who fal
tered not.
Every year In October Mrs. Washington,
loaded with supplies, viaited her husband In
camp and spout the winter with him. Each
year she hoped would end the war and con
clude his long absence At last, when peace
was declared aud tho country for which the
fathers fought became really their own,
Washington was once mora called from his
home to assume the presidential chair, which
he filled conscientiously for eight years, and
then refused a third nomination.
The seat of government was then In New
York. The president's house was elegantly
furnished, and almost as formally conducted
as the home of a king. Mrs. Washington
was on arlstocint by nature, and, in accord
once with tho custom of tho times, con
ducted her receptions after the manner of
English and French diawiuj looms. Tho
Republican court, then located at Jfo, U
Franklin square, Now York, called together
the most elegant and estimable of the
country, Very different from tho present
method of receiving the public were those
rsceptlons. 'lliemo.t rigid rules govorno.1
them, nnd access was not easy. IJiivss, too,
was a consideration. L'crlniu ietiilrementi
lu that particular must lo oUervod.
Tho second year of Washington's admin
istration the 6eat of government was re
moved lo Philadelphia, where the same
ceremony was observed lu the management
of the piosldont's household as at New York.
The houso chosen was on Market streot, bo
tweon Fifth and Birth, ou tho south side
nnd It as handsomely furnished. No house
was provided for the picsldent by the gov.
eminent thou, as now, Tho llrst president
rented and furnished Ills own.
Mrs. Washington held her receptions, or
drawing rooms, us they were culled, on Fri
day evening of each week. The guests
assembled early, and left before 10:30.
These occasions are said to have been ex
cocdingly stiff, solemn and awkward. The
atmosphere of awful dignity that radiated
from the great Washington rather over
powered tho guests. It was an honor to bo
admitted, but It was also a fearful trial to
any addicted to naturaluess of manner or
buoyancy of spirits.
The lady of tho mansion sat at tho hoad
of tho room, aud tho guests were placed In a
circle around which the president passed
speaking ceremoniously to each one, Thoro
is nothing to tell us what Mrs. Washington
wore on these occasions, or how she looked.
Tbo society reporter bad not then been In
vented, as It was tho ago of bronze, not
tlnsoL Wo know, however, that tho presl
deut iwwderod his hair and never offered
his hand to any of hU guests, nnd that he
woro tho old Continental uniform.
At this time Mrs. Washington was M years
old, as was the general, both having baeu
born iu the same year. Mis. Washington's
children, Martha and Johu l'arle Custls
were cherished and guided by Washington
as tenderly as If they had been his own.
Both died ufter leaching maturity. The
son, uho wus a colonel in Washington's
nrmy, was married, aud left a widow und
four children. Washington adopted two of
the children utouce, uul reared them with
the most conscientious euro.
Wushlugtou slled on Dec. 11, liTn Kho
turned from the chamber th,at held Ids dead
form, never to enter it again. This was tin
lat event f her life. Thirty mouths later,
in tho spring of lbOl, at the age of TO, the,
too, slipped out of life, lavlng a look of
peace ou her dead feature
