Of this weed's, issue, we publish, for the in
formation *<*f the whole road-working force of
the county, the Road Laws of the State, com
piled and arranged to suit the necessities of
the case, by the Board of Commissioners of
Roads and Revenue of Jackson county; and
to a careful perusal of these laws we invite
the attention of every road-worker into whose
hands our paper may fall. And farther, as
the subscription list of the News is increas
ing very rapidly in our own county, we also
republish the Presentments of the Grand Ju
ry at tin? extra Court last week. Many per
sons called for papers after the edition had
given out—hence the inducement to rc-pub
lish.
"What Manufacturing Doesl”
The last issue of the News contained a
short article with the above “ heading,” as
our readers will at once recollect. And the
subject is only reverted to at this time for the
purpose of inciting some of the good citizens
of Jackson to furnish us with such facts and
statistics concerning the water-powers, the
number of mills of every description, and
indeed, all and singular the advantages for
manufacturing purposes afforded in the coun
ty. We most respectfully ask this favor be
cause of our own lack of information oh these
points—being an entire stranger, compara
tively speaking, in all the regions hereabouts.
We have learned—with gratification, too—
since our advent in Jackson, that for some
years past, there has been quite an addition
to the population of this county b} r an influx
or “moving in” from adjoining and other
counties. So far so goo 1. Let the work go
“bravely on!” But let the people from
abroad—not adjoining counties alone—but
from other States—see something of the na
tural advantages, the mineral resources, the
superiority of climate and water, the fertility
of soil, &e., and for “ old Jackson” we pre
dict a bright future indeed. Give us the
facts, good friends, and let the world at large
see that there is no necessity of “going
west” or hunting up a “ land flowing with
milk and honey” outside the limits of the
“ Empire State,” or even outside of our own
county—“ the land of the free and the home
of the brave l 1”
Too Poor to Take a Newspaper.
An anecdote is told of a farmer going one
day to the office of a New York journal and
ordering his paper stopped, because he was
too poor to take it any longer.
“ Suppose we make a bargain,” said the
editor, “in this way. Go to your home and
select a hen that shall be called my hen ; sell
the eggs that the hen lays during the year,
and send the proceeds t o me as your subscrip
tion for the paper.”
The farmer was pleased at so easy a way
1o pay for his paper, and readily consented.
Ihe result was, that during the year the hen
paid for the paper twice its regular price of
subscription.
This is by no means a pure fiction, for the
same may be true in a great multitude of cases.
Almost every one wastes and throws away
more than enough money during the year to
got a weekly newspaper that would furnish
him with intellectual food, and keep him
posted in the busy, stirring events of the day.
A very small retrenchment in the luxuries
that almost every one indulges in would se
cure a daily visitor full of gossip about the
doings of the great world around us ; full of
stirring events in the history that is even
day being made in our country, and full of
useful general information, and facts in liter
ature. science, and art. Besides, it is the
duty of the people to support the press, for
it has always stood as a grand bulwark be
tween them and political and military op
pression ; it lias sounded the notes of warn
ing that has often aroused them to action :
it has stripped the borrowed cloak from cor
ruption and venality ; ti high places, and
showed them in all their deformity, and is to
day the great friend of education, justice, re
ligion. and peace. The press speaks every
where, at all times, carrying light in places
where otherwise perpetual darkness would
reign. And when we remember what the
world would be without the press—how dark
ness, ignorance, viee and oppression would
flourish unopposed, let no one any longer
say that he is too poor to take a newspaper.”
— Exchange,
When Andy Johnson is called on to send
to the various historical and memorial asso
ciations, now engaged in reproducing centen
nial memories and virtues, any curious or
historical paper or other memorial of ancient
times, the solidly practical, hard-headed sena
tor coolly encloses an old edition of the feder
al constitution, minus the gorgeous amend
ments. Nobody ever before suspected that
the illustrious ex-president was a little joker.
And it i3 no joke.
To have one's sugar whitened with the
bones of compatriots, is a novel and perhaps
economical way of doimg things, but such
seems to be the practice in France. They
have formed a factory for the manufacture of
animal charcoal at Metz, which is supplied
with bones from the adjacent battle fields.
This product is used in refining sugar.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
We publish the following extract just as a
great many other matters are published.—
Not that we endorse ail that is said, but with
the hope, if there are any errors and im
perfec- ions in this, as there are. doubtless, in
many of the “Systems” under onr new
•• mtji that discussion and investigation
may have the proper tendency to bring them
to light, in order that they may be corrected.
There are, we very much fear, too many
drones in the hive, who now manipulate the
various “Bureaus” and “Systems” under the
present management of the affairs of State.
“The people” are receiving too small a quid
pro quo for the enormous sums paid out in
the way of “heavy taxes” to stand idly and
silently by and see their hard-earned means
squandered in the maintenance of “ Systems”
and organizations that do no good only to the
few whose pockets and stomachs are filled at
the expense of their fellow-citizens. Again,
we repeat, we publish the extract just as we
find it. and let it go for what it is worth. The
subject under discussion is one of importance
to all; therefore, we say give us light on this
as on all kindred subjects.
rrnuc School System. —Under this head,
the Meriwether County Vindicator says :
The State School Commissioner is publish
ing a.series of rose-colored articles in the
leading daily papers of the State in defence
of his pet system of so-called public schools.
From the earnestness of the writer one would
imagine that, like Demetrius, the maker of
shrines for the goddess Diana, during St.
Paul's visit to Ephesus, he fears his system
is in danger to be set at naught, and that he
hopes by long articles and much praise of his
idol to secure public approval in its behalf.
Owing to some defect somewhere, scarcely
anything has been done for the advancement
of education under the present law. The
Commissioner Says the plan is right, and if
the Legislature would only levy taxes heavy
enough , success would be certain. Just here
we may say our taxes are already enormous,
people who have lost nine-tenths of their
property paying double as much on the re
maining one-tenth as they did on the whole
in former times. So, unless a more econom
ical system can be devised, ve have not much
to hope from “ Free Schools.” The Consti
tution says there shall be a thorough system
of general education provided, to be forever
free to all children of the State. For two
years the Commissioners plan has been in
operation, and yet the “public schools” have
been free only in name, as every patron
knows, since each one has had to pay the
major part of tuition due for the three months
lie has patronized these schools. The Com
missioner and his clerks draw their full sala-
ries. but the patrons pay nearly full price
when they patronize public schools. A
thorough system truly, working justly and
harmoniously. Under this much lauded sys
tem teachers are selected, not by the patrons,
but by the County Board of Education. The
selections by the Board of our county have
been made in all cases of teachers who were
desired by the residents and patrons of each
school established, but this law may interfere
with the right of a community to select their
own teacher just as it makes it the duty of
the County Board to prescribe the books ne
cessary to be used. \Ye hold that even
patron and every teacher has a right to op
pose the introduction of all school books that
contain any real or fancied objectionable fea
tures. As long as the State cannot prescribe
the Hymn book, Bible or Ritual used in our
churches, neither she nor her agents have the
right to say wliat books shall be used in our
schools. Attention is called to these two
features in the law, especially as we notice
that a Mr. Roberts, at a recent Teachers’
Convention held in Griffin, advocated com
pulsory education. Under our school law
this would force a parent to send his child to
school, though he might dislike both the
teacher and the books. In many States an
officer is paid to hunt up and arrest children
who fail to attend school, the parent being
fined or imprisoned for the child’s absence.
This penalty is inflicted although the parent,
in the exercise of a natural right, kept his
child from a school that was objectionable to
him. Let not a wild zeal for public schools
induce our people to fasten a system on the
country both onerous and tyrannic.
IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS.
Commissioner Atkinson has issued a cir
cular of instructions for the guidance of exam
ining surgeons, which gives many new and
specific directions looking to the discovery
of existing frauds and the prevention of new
ones. Among the new instructions are the fol
lowing: Biennial examinations of army and
navy pensioners are now required by section
4 771 of the Revised Code to be made on every
odd year, the next being due Sept. 4. 1875.
At these examinations it is the primary ob
ject to determine whether the disability still
exists in the degree at which the pensioner is
being paid. If, however, the disability shall
have increased or if anew disability unmis
takably dependent upon the original disability
shall be found, it should be described and
rated. No claimant for an original pension, lor
aiifincrease, or for a renewal or restoration,
should be examined excepting upon the order
at this office. Examinaton before payment—
i. e. an examination required by the law on the
terms of the certificate—may be made without
the order of the office. In no case should an
examinaton be made at the request of a
probable or possible claimant, the object of
which is to secure the opinion of the surgeon
whether an application could or could not be
sustained. The same rule applies also to an
examination to determine if the character of
the disability might not exempt a pensioner
from biennial examination. In either of
these cases the surgeon applied to should
express no opinion, but simply refer the per
son to this office, which, upon the receipt of
the application, will direct such action as may
be necessary.
The fall convention of the State Agricul
tural Sociey will beheld in Dalton, beginning
Tuesday, August 10th, 1875, and continuing
three days. The delegates returned by the
comity societies for the spring convention
will lie considered the regular delegates to the
coming convention, and railroad passes will
be issued in their names. A duly appointed
alternate may. however, take the place of a
principal. All county societies that have
not returned the names of their delegates,
should do so before the twentieth da}’ of July.
We hope every county will lie represented
in a meeting that promises to be one of the
most useful and interesting in the history of
the society.— At. Const.

“The Forest News.”
We* have received the first number of a pa
per bearing the above title, issued at Jelfer
son. published by “the Jackson County Pub
lishing Company;” Malcorn Statford, manag
ing and business editor. Terms, two dollars
per annum.
Trie “News” is a very handsome sheet in
its general “ make-up.” as it is obliged to be
I under the management of Mr. Stafford, and
this, although very important, is not its only
recommendation. It is filled with interesting
reading matter—good, substantial matter, not
sensational. Having known the managing
editor, (who has been employed in our office
most of that time.) about a quarter of a cen
tury. we take pleasure in commending him
and his paper to the patronage of the public
—having ever found him a true man, and one
well qualified to conduct any department of
newspaper work.— Southern Watchman.
Thank you, Colonel, for the flattering and
complimentary manner in which you are
pleased to speak of us and the News. We
have had various and numerous suggestions
made by friends whose good will we highly
appreciate, in regard to publishing our paper.
Our own humble opinion is, that a country
paper should not “run” on the “sensational”
schedule. It is true, as our worthy corres
pondent, “ Puck.” intimated last week, there
should be a certain amount of “ spice and
ginger” in its “ general get-up.” To borrow
the idea and use the “ slang expression” of
a friend who has “ passed over the river,” and
whose “ like” we shall never again behold—
as a “ dash” of good cognac brandy adds (in
the estimation of some) to the flavor and gives
“ body” to a glass of lemonade, so docs a
certain amount of light matter —facts and
fancies —humorous tales and amusing anec
dotes give a “flam” to the contents of the
country newspaper. But there is great dan
ger of going too far—of making the “draught” I
unpalatable—especially when we take in ?
consideration the taste and disposition of a |
ma jority of the readers of such a journal.—
The “sensational” schedule may do very well i
for thej* fast-going” and “ fast-living” people
of large towns and cities ; but the conviction
has always forced itself on our mind that
“the People,” the real “yeomanry” of the
land, need just such “ food” for their minds j
and thoughts as they do for their bodies— ,
that is, something good, wholesome and solid. !
Moody and Sankey.
Treating of these great revivalists who are
exciting so much attention in England, the
New York Trihune thus discourses :
The interest of these masses of well cloth
ed and ragged Londoners can he explained
by the simple fact that there is nothing after
all so interesting to any man as religion ; the
position of his own soul before God. The
people being the same and the gospel the
same, we think it would be worth while for
the clergy here as well as in England to try
to find out why these masses choose to hear
the gospel from the American revivalist rath
er than from men who otfer it with exactitude
of doctrine and in chaste and scholarly lan
guage. Wiiv do the great audiences
about Spurgeon and others, whom Christians
of refinement shrink from as unorthodox, and
too often, blasphemous and vulgar? Not, we
are sure, because of their heterodoxy, blas
phemy or vulgarity ; but because these men
make of religion a real every-day matter.—
They may degrade Christ by their familiarity
but lie is at least a live man in their talk—
here, walking at our side to-day. Mr. Moody,
in his earnest, simple stories and queer illus
trations. sees, hears and feels Him. That is
what the people want—all the people—the
scholar and the prince, as well as the beggar.
Not doctrines, not beautiful theories, but a
Christ—a religion which can be an actual
everv-day matter, as real as the money which
tempts them to wrong doing, or the molecules
out of which science makes a world for them
in which there is no God. Certain spiritually
minded people, especially the clergy, do not
need such sermons as Moody's to bring Christ
before them, and to them, then, the sermons
are useless. But they should remember in
how small a minority they are, and try to
borrow the secret of the success of these men
when they preach the Gospel to the majority.
The personal appearance of the pair is thus
described:
Mr. Moody, the evangelist, is described as
a tluck-set man, about five feet eleven, with
a dark, full beard, high cheek bones, sunken
eyes and square forehead, and is said to re
sembles slightly the late E. M. Stanton. Mr.
Sankey is taller and better-looking than his
comrade, with a younger face, a large mous
tache and a well-shaved chin, with English
side-whiskers, lie is described as looking
like a well-conditioned opera singer.
An ingenious Device.
A capillary correspondence was recently
attempted between a noted Parisian thief in
durance vile and his comrades outside. The
prisoner was sent a letter from his fiancee
containing merely a lock of hair wrapped in
the leaf of a book. The jailor did not con
sider the souvenir important enough to be
delivered, but a few days after came a simi
lar enclosure, and yet another. This arous
ed suspicion, and the Governor took the
matter in hand. He examined the leaf of
the book. It was only that of a common
novel, twenty-six lines on a page. Then he
studied the hair, and noticed the small quan
tity of the gift. Counting the hairs, he found
them unequal lengths, and twenty-six in num
ber. the same as the lines of the page. Struck
with the coincidence, he laid the hairs along
the lines of the page which they respectively
reached, beginning at the top with the small
est hair. After some trouble he found that
the end of each hair pointed to a different
letter, and that these letters combined form
ed a slang sentence, which informed
the prisoner that his friends were
on the watch, and that the next time he left
the prison to be examined an attempt would
l>e made to rescue him. The Governor laid
his plans accordingly, the attemp at rescue
was made, but the rescuers fell into their own
trap.
Frequent and constant advertising brought
me all I own.—A. T. Stewart.
The Story of Trion.
SUCCESSFUL COTTON MANUFACTURING IN THE
SOUTH.
If any argument were necessary to prove
that the manufacture of cotton goods can be
made very profitable in the South, Trion fac
tory furnishes the premises and conclusion
of such argument. This factory was located
midway between Rome, Ga., and Chatta
nooga. and about forty-four miles from each
place. These were its only markets, and they
only accessible to it by railroad. From one
or the other it drew its supplies of raw mate
rial and povisions, and then hauled back the
manufactured goods to market. And Trion
enriched its owners—was one of the most
profitable manufacturing investments in the
country. When the old factory burned down,
several months ago, the proprietors hardly
allowed the ruins to cool till they were among
them clearing away to make place for larger
and more extensive structures. The new fac
tory will be ready for operation in September,
equipped throughout with new and improved
machinery, and on a much more extensive
scale than of old. This looks like business ;
shows that Messrs. Marsh & Allgood not
only know how to conduct the business, but
are possessed of that public spirit and enter
prise necessary to combat obstacles and
wrench victory from defeat. To induce them to
rebuild on the old ground, the well-to-do far
mers of the neighborhood and others having
small savings, invested it in the new enter
prise, and thus were these gentlemen en
abled to stand the loss of one factory and build
another without borrowing a dollar, and
without going out of their own neighborhood
for additional capital. This shows that they
deserve to succeed; that they possess the
entire confidence of those who know them
best.— Chat. Com.
Now, there are scattered all through North
east Georgia, and more especially in the
count}' of Jackson, water-powers equal, and
in many instances, no doubt, far superior to
that which, it seems, has been of such vast
benefit to Trion and its vicinity. And it is
no argument to plead that we are so distant
from railroad facilities. Trion, it appears—
for we really do not know—is many miles
from any railroad, depending largely on
Chattanooga, 44 miles distant, for a market.
But to come nearer home. High Shoals, in an
adjoining county, illustrates our point. This
factory is some 16 or 18 miles from any mar
ket town, and yet it does a thriving business.
To conclude, therefore, let the owners of wa
ter-powers and mill-sites call attention to
their property and its advantages through the
proper channel, and thereby induce capital to
seek a place amongst us, then will our people
be among the happiest on earth, and this, the
“ Eden” of our proud old Commonwealth, be
in perpetual bloom.
Storms I
The recent terrible clyclones in Georgia
(says the Columbus Sun,) have strongly di
rected public inquiry to the cause of these
fearful phenomena of nature. The theory of
Prof. Broun and others, that they result from
a natural tendency to restore an equilibrium
in the atmostphere, and that this equilibrium
is destroyed by sudden changes from cold to
heat, and vice versa —is generally accepted
as the most plausible, if not demonstrably
correct. But it is still lacking in the particu
larity that will enable people to discern con
dition likely to [produce such atmospheric
changes, and to judge from the appearance
of a cloud or clouds the character of an ac
companying wind storm. A book on this
subject has lately been published by Wilhelm
Blasius, a German professor of natural
science, that may afford some assistance in
observations of thic kind. Prof Blasius has
spent some time in the United States. lie
classifies storms and their characteristic
clouds as follows:
1. Local or Vertical Storms. —Stationary.
Centripetel. Produced by a tendency of the
atmosphere to re-establish in a vertical direc
tion an equilibrium that has been disturbed.
Characteristic Cloud —Cumulus.
2. Progressive or Leteral Storms. —Trav-
eling. Produced by a tendency of the at
mosphere to re-establish in a lateral direction
an equilibrium that lias been disturbed. They
arc of two kinds :
( a) Equatorial or Northeast Storms. —
Winter storms. Produced by a warm current
displacing a cool one to supply a deficiency
toward the poles. Temperature changing
from cool to warm. Direction to the north
eastern quadrant. — Characteristic Cloud —
Stratus.
( h )' Polar or Southeast and Southwest
Storms —Summer storms. Produced by a
cool current displacing a warm one to supply
a deficiency towards the equator. Tempera
ture changing from warm to cool. Direction
to the southern semi-circle. —Characteristic
cloud Cummuio-Stratus.
3. Loco-Progressive or Diagonal Storms
—.Traveling locally. Rotary (tornadoes,
hail-storms, sand-storms, water-spouts, etc.)
Produced by a tendency of the atmosphere
to re-establish the ebuilibrum of a polar storm
which has been disturbed in the plane of
meeting by a peculiar confirigration of the
ground. Direction, the diagonal of the for
ces of the two opposing currents tranversely
through the polar storm. Characteristic
Cloud —Cirrus.
The Voice of Christianity.
WITAT PREVENTED ANOTHER AVAR BETAVEEN
FRANCE AND GERMANY.
Mr. Edward Jenkins, M. P., in a recent ad
dress in London, mentioned as an illustration
of the power and influence of Christianity, the
prevention of war within the past few weeks
between France and Germany. “When,”
said he, “Prince Bismarck’s determination
became known to stop the preparations going
on in France, and to crush her once more by
sending German troops across the Rhine, did
the nations of Europe stand forth and protest
against such an outrage, and intimate that they
would stand by France rather than see her
crushed? No. What was it, then, that pre
vented the catastrophe of another European
war? A simple circular was sent from Lon
don, pleading on behalf of truth, justice,
peace, and Christianity, and the simple cir
cular went the round of the courts of Europe,
and did more to prevent that impending war
than the words and action of any foreign po
tentate. Such a result would not have fol
lowed in olden times, and its success in these
days was due to the fact that the influences
of Christianity had deeply penneated society,
and men were more and more applying its
principles, not only in their own affairs, but
to home and international politics.”

ADVANTAGES OF SMALL FARMS.
EXAMPLE OF THE BELGIANS NEED OF TER
SONAL AND INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRY.
Much has been wisely said and written
upon the propriety of small farms, and the
superior profit to be derived from them. And
practicing upon this theory, we find the as
tute Hardaway growing rich on fifteen acres,
the products of which, by good management
he multiplies into the amount visually grown
upon tiventy times the same area.
But it appears that in Belgium, even the
Lilliputian plantation of the ThomasviUe
farmer, is subdivided into fifteen parts, of
one acre each, which are respectively made
to support one family, and the hired laborer
besides.
Describing these miniature farms, a writer
in “ Chambers' Journal'' says “ the fields are
mostly square, ajid rarely contain more than
one acre ; the ground is curved symmetrical
ly, the centre being the highest, so that the
water drains do .vn equally in all directions.
Round the field, and a foot lower, extends a
a strip of grass, three or four yards wide ;
still lower, a hedge of elders is planted, which
is cut every seven years ; and, finally, the
plat is surrounded by a ditch, bordered with
trees of larger growth. Tims each piece
furnishes rich grass, firewood, every seven
years, and timber for building every thirty
years. The plow is generally used, but
every seven years the subsoil is turned to
the top by the spade, and thus it acquires a
depth unknown to all but the best gardeners ;
the principal object being to produce flax
and butter, not cereals.”
But our freedmen lead lives of ease and
plenty, compared with the hard lot of the
laborer and man of all work on the Belgian
farm. Earning oft times not as much as
one shilling per day, their food is meagre,
and of the coarsest description. It consists
of beans, potatoes, rye bread, and chickory
as a drink. Only on Sunday or a Fair
day does he get beer, and meat never. Yet
Belgium supports the densest population in
Europe, and her people resemble the occu
pants of a bee-hive. Every inch of ground
is utilized and brought to the highest possi
ble state of fertility, and thousands of acres
are even reclaimed from the briny deep by
the huge dikes which patient toil and indus
try have erected.
We trust Georgia may never lie so crowd
ed as to reduce her people to such straights,
but still the lesson is useful to us showing
what can be accomplished by a veil directed
industry.
And it is now an admitted fact that small
farms well cultivated, fenced and fertilized,
are vastly more profitable proportionally than
those of large extent. It requires double
the mule and manual labor to cultivate one
hundred acres, that would suffice for fifty,
and yet by concentrating the manure used
for the former upon the smaller area, nearly
twice the yield can be realized, and the land
at the same time will steadity improve.
Who, it may be asked, are really the only
thrifty and progressive agriculturists of
Georgia ? We answer, those land-owners
who, with their sturdy sons, bear the brunt
and heat of the season, and with their own
brawn and muscle cultivate, harvest and en
joy the proceeds of their labors. These men
raise their own beef, butter, mutton, bacon
and vegetables, and oft times, also sugar,
syrup, rice and flour. Moreover, their sur
plus land, if not advantageously rented, is
used for pasturage, or allowed to grow up
and recuperate. They are even ready, also,
to sell to the thrifty white imigrant, and thus
enhance the taxable and productive A'alues of
the country.
This assertion Are are prepared to prove
by the evidence of hundreds of small farmers,
whereas, those cultivating large plantations,
with exceptional and almost solitary, in
stances to the contrary, make grieA'ous fai
lures, and grow poorer every year. Let
us eumlate the Belgian, therefore, and force
mother earth by kind treatment and tire
less energy to yield her utmost forthe sup
port of those who draw their sustenance
from her generous bosom. —Tel $ Mess.
If eA’ery man will turn his attention to his
farm or whatever his business may be, says
a correspondent of the Summerville Gazette ,
and stick closely to it for about five Aveeks,
meanwhile saying and thinking as little as
possible about other things, Granvil is of
the opinion that times will change, and there
will be a prospect for the bottom cracks in
many corn cribs to show less daylight
during the year to come. Gran vil.”
Settled Beyond a Doubt. —No one questions
the fact that more cases of whites, suppressed and
irregular menses and uterine obstructions, of
every kind, are being daily cured, by Dr. J. Brad
field’s Female Regulator, than by all other reme
dies combined. Its success in Georgia and other
States is beyond precedent in the annals of physic.
Thousands of certificates from women everywhere
pour in upon the proprietor. The attention of
prominent medical men is aroused in behalf of this
wonderful compound.and the most successful prac
titioners use it. If women suffer hereafetr it will be
their own fault. Female Regulator is prepared and
sold by L. H. Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga..
and ilia}- be bought for $1.50 per bottle at any
respectable Drug Store in the Inion.
Effects Truly Wonderful.
Carters ville, Ga.. April 2G, 1800.
This will certify that two members of my imme
diate family, after having suffered for many years
from menstrual irregularity* and having been
treated without benefit by various medical doctors,
were at length completely cured by one bottle of
Dr. J. Bradfield’s FEMALE REGULATOR. 1
therefore deem it my duty to furnish this certificate
with the hope of drawing attention of suffering wo
mankind to the merits of a medicine whose power
in curing irregular and suppressed mensration, has
been proven under my own personal observation.
Its enoct’on such cases is truly wonderful, and well
may the remedy be called ** Woman's Best
