Many a

healthy and

she is really

juuc wane ana pallia, dui sue 18 vivacious
and cheerful in his presence, and he does
not realiie that anything U wrong. If he
had but come home during the middle of
the day, he would have found, instead of
the cheerful wife, a weak, sickly, nervous
Invalid, with headache, pains In the back,
"stitches" In the side, burning and drag,
giog down sensations and utter despond
ency and melancholy.
In almost every caie of this kind the
woman Is really suffering from weakness
and disease , the distinctly feminine or
ranism. Frequently she does not realize
her own condition. If she does, she
shrinks from undergoing the "examina
tions" and "local treatments" insisted
upon by the average physician. Dr.
Plerce'a Favorite Prescription is the medi
cine needed by women who suffer in this
way. It acts directly on the sensitive or
cans concerned and makes them strong,
nralthy and vigorous. It allays inflamma
tion, heals ulceration, soothes pain and
tones and builds up the shattered nerves.
It transforms weak, sickly, nervous, de
spondent invalids into happy,healthy wives
and competent mothers. It fits for wife
hood and motherhood, It makes "exam
inations " unnecessary. Honest dealers do
not suggest substitutes for a little added
profit to be realized thereon.

cure for all catarrhal niTcctions so common in this part of the country. It
cures a cold at once; there Is no cough medicine that can nt all equal 1'c-ru-na;
ns for la grl ppo there Is no other remedy that can at all compare with Pe-ru-na.
I notice in medical journals and from the testimony of my neighbors that the
doctors feecm quito unsuccessful in treating la grippe, especially in removing
the nf ter effects of la grippe. From personal observation in many cases 1 know
that Pc-ru-na is a suro specific for these cases. I am among tho bick a great
deal in our city, and have supplied many invalids with Pe-ru-na, hiniply because
I am enthusiastic In my faith as to Its results. I have never known it to fall to
quickly and permanently remove that demoralized state of the human system
which follows la grippe.
"In cases of weaknesses peculiar tomysex I am suro that no other remedy can
approach in good results the action of Te-ru-na. It meets all tho bad symptoms
to which females are subject. The irregularities and nervousness, the debility
and misery, which aflllct inoro or less the women from girlhood to change of
life, nro one and all met and overcome by your c.ccllent Pe-ru-na. I wish
every young lady in our city could read your book ' Health and Beauty.' Any

SINGULAR NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels That Have Dissappeared
Without Leaving Explanations.
Prom Lesllo's Weekly.
Curious disappearances and acci
dents to our warships characterized the
early history of our navy, and, in
bplto of all tho efforts of the navy de
partment to explain the cause ot the
disasters, many of them are as abso
lute mysteries today as when they
happened.
When the government built ten now
gunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripoli. In 1805, they were sent out as
soon as they were finished, and before
they were named. Each one was giv
en a number and dispatched to the
scene of the wnr. No 7 sailed from
New York June 20, 1S05, under com
mand of Lieutenant Ogelvle, nnd after
bhe cleared Sandy Hook light sho was
never heard from nculn. She went
down with all on board before she had
even been named.
A most extraordinary accident hap
pened to the corvette Monongahela at
Santa Cruz In 1867. While at anchor
In tho harbor a tremendous tidal wave
lifted her upon Its crest and carried
her clean over the town of Frledrlch
stadt and back ngaln without Injuring
the town or tho boat to any great ex
tent, Tho receding wave landed her
on the beach Instead of in tho deep
waters of the harbor, and it cost our
government $100,000 to float her again.
Fully ns strange was tho fate of tho
sloop-of-war Wateree.
Sho was anchored In tho harbor of
Arlca, Peru, In 1868, when a huge tidal
wavo swept inland and flooded tho

Prof. Pietra Santa, of Paris, writes: As a large number o pa
tients lack the necessary power to digest solid food, and would
through the use of stimulants be merely excited and weakened,
therefore, I regard it of immense value to the practitioner to britig
to his aid a nutrious tonic and remedy like the JOH ANN HOFF'S
nALT EXTRACTS, which will act not only as a tonic, but as a nu
trient as well, and which is less exciting than wine as a stimulant.
AVOID SUBSTITUTES
whole city. Tho wave carried the sloop
several miles Inland, nnd finally land
ed her In the midst of a tropical forest.
It was impossible to release her from
such a peculiar position, and the gov
ernment sold her for a nominal sum.
Tho purchasers turned the vessel into
a hotel, and the remains of the once
formidable war vessel loom up In the
tropical forest today as a monument
to tho power of tidal waves.
Among other cases of disaster which
aro attributed to the violence of the
waves or weather there is none more
Interesting than that of the strange
fate of the Saratoga. When she sailed
from Philadelphia In October, 17S0, un
der the command of Captain James
Young, there was no finer or hand
somer war vessel afloat. That she was
as formidablo as sho was attractive
sho soon demonstrated In a practical
way. After cruising around a short
time she captured three British ves
sels In succession, and then, with her
prizes, sho started to return to Phila
delphia. But on the Delaware Capes
she encountered a British ship of the
line. As the Saratoga carried only
eighteen guns and the Intrepid was a
seventy-four gun ship, Captain Young
considered It safer to run awav. The
enemy did not chase her far, but re
turned to protect and recapture the
British prizes. The Saratoga sailed
away in the very teeth of a storm, and
she was never heard from again. Did
she founder at sea in the gale, or was
she blown up by her own magazines?
There wero some pecullnr accidents
to our naval vessels in the past that
aie accounted for, but, while tho mys
tery of their loss Is removed nnd ex
plained, tho strangeness of their mis
haps is no less Interesting. For In
stance, there Is the sinking- of tho
United States sloop-of-war Oneida in
1809. She was bound home from Yoko
hama, but when a short distance from
port tho British steamer Bombay ran
into her and cut off her stern. The
Injury was so mortal that the Oneida
Immediately flred her gun of distress,
but In the darkness the Bombay crew
crept away Instead of returning to
assist her. In a short time the sloop
went to tho bottom, carrying all of her
crew with her. When the news reached
Yokohama tho captain of tho British
steamer was mobbed by the Indignant
populace, and he was dismissed from
the service in disgrace.
Hurricanes have been responsible
for the wreckage of several of our
naval vessels other than those at Sa
moa In 1880. The brlg-of-war Baln
brldgo was turned over by a hurricane
off Capo Hatteras In 1863, and every
body on board was loht, except a col
ored cook, who managed to cling to
pieces of the wreck until picked up.
Ninety-eight lives weie lost by tho
wrecking of the sloop-of-war Huron
in 1877. A small hurrlcano blew her
on tho shore oft Norfolk, and she was
pounded to pieces by the violent surf.
Tho Saginaw was wrecked In the mid
dle of the Pacific In 1870.
A Difficult Situation.
"I am afraid there Is going to bo some
trouble abou: tho hitch In the peace ne
gotiations," fcald ono Spanish official.
"Yes," nnswered tho other, who bad
been reading about the Carllst prepara
tions; "and, on the other hand, If wo get
unhitched there will probably bo a run
away and a bmash-up." Washington
