I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I felt so weak and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue my studies with the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had headaches, backaches and sinking epells, also pains in the back and lower limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.

Persons interested in the bia- mm hunting trips and the daily athletic exercises of President Roosevelt need only to examine the records of form er presidents to learn that he is bv no means the first executive to anend his vacations and leisure hours in the pursuance of sports, says the Phila delphia Ledger. No more arduous fish erman and duck shooter could be im agined than President Cleveland. At his home near Buzzard's Bay he spent every moment of his leisure time In his favorite pastime with the rod and reel. It was a common thing to see Mr. Cleveland out to catch the proper tide even before dawn, and his skill is said to have been equal to that of any of the old shellbacks in the neigh borhood when it came to playing a bass. Nor was President Cleveland the first to dignify the ground which Is popularly called the "presidential hunt ing preserves." President Harrison went duck shooting along the shores of these waterways and hunted every foot of them clear to the sea. AH sorts of wild duck abound in this dis trict, among them canvasbacks, and besides these quail, pheasant, snipe, and wild turkey are to be found. President Harrison was a fairly good shot wllh a gun, but his first venture proved slightly disappointing, for he mistook a black pig belonging to a negro for a raccoon. He offered at once to settle for the pig, but the patriotic owned declared on the ground that he hud been highly honored by a president of the United States shooting his pig, and that the proud distinction would be handed down from one' generation to another In his family. President Harrison never took much to horse back riding nor to field sports, but with shooting be fell more and more in love as he became older. He even shot buck from a "sneak-box," an achievement of which any duck hunter may well be proud. Before George Washington became Gen. Washington be hunted all over this same ground. After he became a general be had little time for hunt ing and shooting, but he was passion ately fond of horseback riding and was considered an excellent horseman even during the days when lumbering stage coaches were responsible for much riding in the saddle and when horsemen were plentiful. Curious to say, fond as President Cleveland and Harrison were of the water front, neither of them ever found pleasure in swimming. President John Qulncy Adams was by all odds tho swimmer president of the White House. Next to Benjamin Franklin he was the best swimmer of any public man in Washington. President Adams also was a remarkable walker and frequently combined his two hobbies. Often he arose before dawn, walked as far as Georgetown, " where he had a secluded nook, and stripping plung ed into the Potomac. Then, after a long, refreshing swim, he would dress and walk back to his home, where he arrived by break of day, ready for whatever came. President Arthur was always espe cially fond of camping "and hunting and fishing, and on one occasion was 100 miles from where he might have been reached by telegraph wire.' Bass and trout were Mr. Arthur's favorites. He is said to have been remarkably expert at casting the fly, and once, when on a visit south, the Fishing club of Louisville presented him with an exquisite rod, suitably engraved, and of this the president ever felt espe cially proud. President Garfield was also given to the pursuit of sports. He did not care for fishing, however. Hunting was hi pet diversion. But aside from this be took a lively Interest In all sorts of field sports, especially In the national game, baseball. At no time was theis a more enthusiastic baseball "crank" in Washington than was the president. He was elected an honorary member of the old National baseball club, and he frequently attended the games play ed by his team, and followed Its victor ies with a Jealous eye in the morning newspapers. Billiards was another favorite diversion with resident 'Gar field. During his administration a new billiard table was placed in the base ment of the White House, and here he played almost regularly every after noon. President Garfield also was fond of horseback riding. Taking him all In all, he was probably the most all round sporting president, for no mat ter what the sport he felt at least a mild Interest In it. Original Descent.

Taylor's little son is looked upon- by those interested in medical matters as one of tbe most wonderful on iecord. In this connection his fath er makes the following statement: "Last September, my little boy had dropsy; his ieet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk or put his shoes on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he would not get better. I stopped theii medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills. . I gave him ,hree pills a day, one morning, noon and night for fight davs; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more pills. I used thirty-five pills in all and he was entirely cured. 1 con sider your medicine saved my child's life. When the thirty-five pills were iven him, he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mother's arms from morning until night."

The physicians of Philadelphia and Boston sniff more or less haughtily, at the ways of their fellow healers of j New York, according to a very frank and conservative physician of this town. The conversation at the start was about new remedies, concerning I many of which the doctor, who was taking his own profession to task, was very skeptical. : "The spirit of empiricism," he said, "Is altogether too prevalent in this city and it is growing every year. For the sake of money, for the sake of advertising without appearing to udvertise, many physicians who. are rated as reputable are trying all sorts of ways of violating the good old spirit of medical ethics without of fending against the letter and being called to account by tbelr associates. "It Is in tbe field of so-called new remedies and discoveries that the evil Is most manifest. Quackery has im proved its methods and glossed over Its activities with a veneer of what passes for scientific research. Scien tific expression and Latin names have been . more generally adopted to de scribe what the quack of a generation or so ago would have been satisfied to call a plain 'cure-all,' and hawk at the country fairs.' Now it is different The empiric produces his concoction and cajoles some physician Into writ ing a quasi-scientific article about It for a medical Journal. "That is all thnt is needed. Men of standing accept the fact, whatever it may be, and furnish the articles; and journals, regardless of the fact that they have reputations to sustain, print them. Then they are reprinted far and wide as contributions by Dr. So-and-So, graduate of this, that and tbe other medical school, to such and such a Journal. Rural physicians all over the country read and believe, and a demand for -the new stuff Is prac tically assured. "Hundreds of these new things are brought out every year, and although they all have advocates. It Is fair to say that not more than one in a hun dred is worthy of adoption by the pro fession or of being rated as a gen uine contribution to the science of medicine. "It Is in this city thnt most of them are fathered and touted,' and, as I said before, the practice has brought us into more or less disrepute with the more conservative and less avari cious physicians of Boston and Phila delphia. Of course, in consideration of a question like this, Chicago doesn't count." New York Sun. Ayer's Bald? Scalp shiny and thin? Then It's probably too late.

Following the court about on the cir cuit was, no doubt, the Joy, of Lin coln's life. He was so fond of it that he declined a flattering offer to enter a lucrative Inw partnership In Chicago, because, as he contended, It would ne cessitate more or less confinement in the office and therefore keep him 'off the circuit. Seated in a one-horse buggy, behind a sorry-looking Animal, he would set out from Springfield to be gone . for weeks at a stretch. The lawyers, as he drove Into each successive place, eager ly anticipating a new stock of stories, gave him a cordial welcome and the landlords hulled his coming with de light, for hev was one of the most patient and uncomplaining guests. "If every other fellow," relates one of bis colleagues, "grumbjed at the indiffer ent accommodations and scant fare which greeted us at many of the clin gy taverns we struck Lincoln said nothing." Ills forbenrance in this regard well warrants the observation he Is said on one occasion to have mude, that he never so completely felt bis "own unworthlness as when he stood fuce to fuce with a real, live hotel clerk." How he appeared on the circuit may be gleaned from this sketch of him drawn by Henry C. Whitney, one of his col leagues In Central Illinois, who is yet living: "His hat was brown, faded and the nap usuully worn or rubbed off. He wore a short cont and sometimes a shawl. His coat and vest hung loose ly on his giant. frame. His trousers were invariably too short. In one hand he carried a faded green umbrella with 'A. Lincoln' In large white cotton or muslin letters, sewed on the Inside. The knob was gone from the handle and a piece of cord was usually tied around the middle of the umbrella to keep it from flying open. In the other hand he carried a carpet bag, in which wore stored the few papers he used in court and underclothing enough to Inst till his return to Springfield." Cen tury. Handicapped.
