The eminent scientist and author, Dr. Joseph F. Edwards of Philadel phia, i elates the following -wonderful experiences : m "During my term as resident phj-si-rian in the medical wards of the Philadelphia Hospital, it was a com mon occurrence for an ambulance call to be received from one of the down town station houses. Upon reaching the place designated, we would be Q Ek4P?V woman who has J- oeen iounu uncon scious on the street and supposed to be i n t oxicated. He would be removed to the hospital, where he would linger unconscious for twentv-four or z&F"- AN AMBULANCE CALL. twenty-six hours, and then die. In a majority of these cases a post-mortem examination would reveal a most horrible state of affairs which I will explain hereafter." "A lady in apparently good health, who rarely complained, and then only occasionally, of some slight and tran sient ill-feeling, as nearly every one does at some time or other, took a long walk with her husband, and upon returning home, feeling particu larly well, went to her room to remove Iter bonnet, and, while standing in front of the mirror, fell lo the floor in a convulsion, followed by twenty-four hours of unconsciousness and death without a return to consciousness. A post-mortem examination revealed the true cause in a most horrible form." "A young married man for years suffered from dyspepsia, for which he consulted many physicians. After suffering in this way, and having no other S3'inptoms of disease, he awoke one morning to find a very slight swelling, scared' more than a pufli ness under one eye. In less than a month he was dead. Now the real and terrible cause of all these deaths was Bright's discasa of the kidneys, and they might all have been avoided had the unforlun ale victims known what a horrible malady was fastened upon them. But Bright's disease has no symptoms of its own. It steals into the system like a unci, anu deceives its victim uy showing the sj'mptoms of nearly every ever' otlier disease. But what can be done? Take it in time.

For this purpose there is a remedy, and the only onej that has ever proven absolutely certain. Hunt's Remedy has' never been equaled, and it is the only an- like a thief. solute one known to the medical pro fession. There are thousands of men and women to-day who enjoy perfect health who would be in their graves had it not been for this wonderful remedy, and there are thousands of others who require it without an hour's delay.

"Walk Chalk is the name of a post office in Armstrong count'. P. P. Burford, a Republican, had been postmaster there for several years, but was removed eighteen months ago and a Democrat named David Botfser was appointed in his place. A few days ago postofiice inspect or Garroway was on his way to the village of "Worthington and had to pass through Walk Chalk. He saw the sign "Postofiice" on a building, and passing on a short distance was surprised to see an other postofiice sign on another building. He was not uware that there were two postofiices in "Walk Chalk and he got out of his wagon to seek information. He went in to the building bearing the second sign. It was Burford's store. "Is this the postofiice?" the in spector asked of a man in the store who was Burford, the proprietor. "This is the Republican post office," replied Rurford. "Well, I am the postofiice in spector," said Garraway. "Then 3'ou had better go down to the other postofiice. That is the Democratic one," replied Bur ford. The inspector then told the ex postmaster that in keeping the sign up announcing that the post office was in his store he was vio lating the postal law, and making himself liable to punisment. Bur ford was advised to remove the sign and save himself trouble. "WVll, Mr. Inspector," he said, this is in;,' sign, and l intend to leave it where it is. Bowser will only be postmaster two ye rs longer any how, and I'll only have to put the sign up again if I take it down. I guess we'll leave it where it is." The inspector went on his way. In returning a couple of days later he found that Burford still had the postofiice sign up. lie still refused to remove it, and said that he was taking all the letters he could get to spoil Bowser's busi ness, and carried them to Kittan ning and mailed them. The ex postmaster was arrested and brought before United States com missioner Coulter, who held him nnder bail to appear in the United States court to answer. The pen- j alty for maintaining the false s-in i 300, and for the confessed vio'.i tion of law in receiving letters and carrying them it is much heavier.

Turkish women are utterly irre sponsible beings in their husbands' eyes, and they are treated in most ways like little children provided " for comfortably, fed, clothed and amused, but not edu cated. While naturally, docile and intelligent, they become shrewish through the ignorance in which they are kept. They are generous "with that unthinking generosity that causes a child to five away the most expensive toy, not knowing the cost. A Turkish woman will, at any time, if the caprice seizes her, give away her fine jewels. Their hospitality is too well known to require men tion. They always have coffee and sweetmeats served for any and. all guests, and when they feel that the visit has lasted long enough they clap hands and the caffeejee brings a second cup of coffee, and that is the signal. No guest can stay longer than to drink this. Sometimes the time between drinks is decidedly short. The women and the children do not undress at night, but add a wadded night robe to the clothes they already have on and sleep thus, summer and winter. They close all the doors and windows, and sleep several in one room, and doubtless would suffer dreadfully from the confined air were it not that Turkish carpenters have never heard of the plumb line, and so windows and doors all have crevices, which supply ventilation. The tales of oriental magnificence fail to impress one who has visited the best harems, for they are one and all pictures of dirt and wanton extravagance. The only great display is the amount of rugs and jewelry. On the floors of the general room for the women, or the private suites, it is all the same cigarette ends, candies, nutshells, necklaces, gold-embroidered slippers and sashes, and, in short, all kinds of disorder and dirt. And the women are alvas eating, smoking, or lolling about on the divans.- Brooklyn Muyu zine. Unvlilvn's Arnica Salve. Tin: r..vr Salvk in the world for pay required.

This purely vegetable pre- firation. now so celebrated as a amtiy Medicine, originated in the South in 1828. It acts gently oa the Bowels and Kidneys and corrects the action of the Liver, and is, there fore,'the oest preparatory medicine, whatever the sick ness may prove to be. In all common diseases it will, un assisted, by any other medi cine, effect a speedy cure. The Regulator is safe to administer in any condition of the system, and under no circum stances can it do harm. It will Invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance; will promote- di gestion, dissipate headache, and gener ally tone up the system.
