"Of course," said the doctor, "I could give you drugs that would put yen to sleep, but in the rase of a young man Unit is to be avoided. The reasou yon cannot sleep is your nerves are unstrung. That does not nec essarily mean that yon must put your nervous system to sleep by the use of drugs.

Nothing could be fairer, mora philan thropic or carry more Joy in ita wake than the offer of T. A. Blocuin, M. C, ol 13 Pearl street. New York.

Already this remedy, by ita timely use. has per manently cured thousands of oases wMon were given up, and death was looked upon as an early visitor. Knowing bis remedy as he does, and be ing so proof-positive of its beneficent re sult, Dr. Blooum considers it his reliKious auty, a duty wbiob he owes to humanity, to donate his infallible remedy where it will assault the enemy in iu citadel, and. by Its inherent potency, stay the current of dissolution, brinKing Joy to homes pver which the shadow ot the grave has been gradually growing more strongly defined, causing fond hearts to grieve.

Will Coadurt a Cont'd on Behalf of Har Hatband-Haa Prepared the Efldenra, Dr. Felton la Contesting the Seat of Judge Maldoi of Georgia. A woman uppeariug before a congres sional committee to champion her bus baud's cause is to be the novelty atnoug the congressional contests this year. No woman has ever before invaded tho pre cincts of au election committee hearing in that way, but Mrs. Felton, wife of Dr. W. H. Felton of (ieorgia, is quite equal to thut or any other new exixri ence where her husband's political ca reer is threatened. Mrs. Felton is contesting the seat of Judge Maddux. Tho caee will pmhubly not be called before the last of Febru ary, and Mrs. Feltoti is nut exited in WashiiiRton before the date nf the hear ing. Mr. Felton is about TO years old, and it is as much due to the invalidism of age as from any pronounced sickness that Mrs. Feltou makes the fight for her busboud. Mrs. Felton is 40, fine looking, white haired and full of snap and vigor. For 20 years she has been campaigning for ber husband, aud if any woman knows unything of the varied polities of differ ent parties it onght to be Mrs. Felton. Mr. Felton began hi career before the war as a Whig. He changed his politics and was a seceiwiouist. After the war he changed again. Ho was in congress about 1874, aud Mrs. Feltou then be came familiar with all congressional rope. She bad six years of congressional ex perience. Mrs. Feltou bus since seen her husband defeated seven times, first as au lndepeudout Democrut. Then he became an organization Democrat aud was whip ped by a Populist, biuce thou he has been a Populist himself, and it is us one of that party that Mrs. Felton will urge his claims to the seat now. She is well known throughout the district. After the election, as Dr. Felton wasn't able to do the work, his wife went out aud collected the testimony for her husband's side. Dr. Feltou has au attorney iu Wash ington, but his wife's name is said to appear also on the papers. There has been some tulk thut the committee might not bear Mrs. Felton becuuse of ber sex, as the time is limited and the lawyers wonld have to be lieurd. Cougreesmuu Daniels is a member of the oommittoe having the Feltou case iu hand. He said of course he would hear any woman iu such a cuse, aud she could talk when the time for argumeuts ar rived. Mrs, Feltou is said to believe in woman's right to vote, and if her hus baud should be given a seat, which seems very improbablo, Mrs. Feltou, owing to her husband's age, would exercise all a congressman's prerogatives iu every thing but the right to vote or go on the floor of the house and talk. It ia pretty hard for a mau from Georgia to have to fight, but Judge Maddox, whose scut Mrs, Feltou wants for her husband, much prefers thut Mrs. Feltou should prattle to the committee than that the lawyers should urgue for her husband.

She has a fine stage presence and a rich, sonorous voice of great currying power. She was appointed secretary of the Republican county com mittee and afterward was nominated by the county conventual for a seat in the senate of the new state. Owing to the decision of the Clah supreme court against the legal right of women to vote ut tho recent election, Mrs. Pardee voluntarily withdrew her name, from tho ticket, in order not to endanger tho interests of her party iu the legislature.
