Cures Woman’s Weaknesses. ‘We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff of THe EcrLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which is one of the chief ingredients of the “Fa- vorite Prescription”: “A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- ine invigorator * * makes for normal ac- tivity of the entire reproductive system.” He continues "in Helonias we have a medica- ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I am winted. In the treatment of discases pe- culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfe further 3 : “The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). .

The greatest event for Boston and for ali New England this season will be the home-coming week in Boston. This will occur at the end eof July, and will attract thousands of persons from every part of the country to the city and the section of the country where- their ancestors lived and where their affections are centered. The citizens of Boston have made liberal preparations for a grand cele- bration of the history and achieve- ments of Boston and the Common- wealth of . Massachusetts. There will be a week ‘of midsummer reunions of families. and of public festivities. The time selected is from July 28 to Au- gust. 3. . ; The home-coming week in Ken- tucky attracted half a million visit- ors to Louisville and the home-com- ing for Georgia was likewise grate- fully accepted. There is no doubt of the attraction to Bostonof a far great- er number of sons and daughters who cherish the traditions and the suec- cesses of the people and who venerate _the history of the famous city which is. the leader in the literature, art and the civilization of America. Wants Nurses in Navy. Surgeon General Rixey is preparing to make a strong appeal to Congress #t its next. session 1o correct a lamentable deficiency in the medical branch of the naval scrvice. The surgeon general points out that the American navy is without - a. single trained nurse. No matter how severe the iilness of the officers and sailors nor how grave the injury or wound received in the line of duty, the American bluejacket must rely for his care in time of trouble upon a hospital steward and an apprentice. In ordinary times the ships’ sur- genns are often taxed to care proper- lv for the normal number of sick and injured aboard ship. When there is an epidemic of feaver or méasles (the latter often a serious malady among male adults), such as occurred not long ago on the battleship Con- necticut, it has been found impossible to give the invalids the necessary scientific and careful nursing required by their illness. Surgeon General Rixey has there- fore worked out the details of a plan for the organization of a corps of trained nurses, such as the army has. = Ice Shaped Like Spikes. A remarkable form of ice, which the French-Canadians name frazil ice, is the cause of the packing up of ice and consequent floods in the St. La> rence river. It forms in spiky shapes where the currents are too rapid for ordinary sheet ice to spread across them, and at the base of waterfalls. During the prevalence of cold winds the icy needles sometimes fill up open channels, and, being carried long dis- tances beneath the surface ice. gradu- ally accumulate and consolidate, and are liable to dam the channel even to depths of SO feet. Island Red With Lobsters. An old admiral well known for his powers of exaggeration was at supper one night describing a voyage. “While cruising in the Pacific,” said he, “we passed an island which was positive- lv red with lobsters.” “But,” said one of the guests, smiling incredu- ously, ‘‘lobsters are not red until boiled.” “Of course not,” replied the undaunted admiral, “but this was a volcanic island filled with boiling springs.” CHILDREN SHOWED IT. Effect of Their Warm Drink in the Morning. “A vear ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. ‘I was telling a friend about it and she said, ‘We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the chil- dren.’ “1 was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. 3 “My first trial was a failure. cook boiled it four or and it tasted so flat that I was in de- spair, but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success, and I was completely won Ly its rich, delicious flavour.

Seasonable merchandise goes into distribution slowly, which causes ac- cumulation of spring and summer dry goods and millinery in the hands of dealers and retards collections, at the same time making operations of fall and winter much more conservative. At some points the last week of May brought pronounced improvement in commercial activity, but the holiday retarded recovery. Progress is slow. Manufacturing plants are producing at full capacity in most industries, or- ders covering outputs far into the future. More New England cotton mills employes have received ad- vanced wages, making the change af- fect about 85,000 hands. Another evi- dence of progress in cotton spinning was the increase in quarterly divi- dends at Fall River to 221 per cent, against 1.32 per cent last year and 2.14 per cent in 1202; the most pros- perous of recent years. Current transactions in the iron and steel industry are of comparatively lit- tle significance, ous tonnage of business under = con- tract that will maintain activity far into the future, some sales covering the output of mills for the entire year 1908. Yet new-crders are constantly appearing, ' including: much foreign business; Deliveries are made as near as possible to specifications. The output of pig iron is probably beyond all precedent. Movement of ore is so heavy that congestion re- sults at lower lake ports and the in- adequate sypply of cars causes much accumulation on the docks, especial- ly at Cleveland. Rail and structural orders are the most urgent in demand for products of steel. Yet there ig little evidence of curtailed plans hecause of unfavor- able crop reports of the difficulty ex- perienced in.raising funds for -new construction. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.

MOTHERHOOD The first requisite of a good mother is good health, and the ex- perience of maternity should not be approached without careful physical preparation, as a woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution.
