An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
fliotod? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unkuown, to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as the and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billionsness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of tbo
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. e recommend ureen s Au
gust Flower. Its cures are m;
velons.

THE LAST OF EABTH.
Wire Whisperings From Two Continents
NewYobk, April 17. The very
latest news from Conkling's bedside
is to the effect that his lungs and
throat are filling with blood and that
he is in danger of choking to death.
All his vital powers are rapidly fail
ing and he may die within a few hours.
His illness dates from the day of
the big blizzard, March 12. On that
Monday evening ho started to walk to
the Hoffman houso from his Wall
street office. He set out after C o'clock
and at a time when the snow was
drifting very deep in some places,
and when pedestrianism was well
nigh impossible, save to the very
strongest and hardiest. On the fol
lowing day Mr. Conkling stated his
terrible experience as follews:
"It was impossible to get a cab or a
carriage of any kind; none was to be
had. Once during the day I had de
clined an offer to ride up town in a
carriage because the man wanted $50,
and I started up Broadway on my
Dins. It was dark, and it was useless
to try to pick out a path, so I went
magnificently along, shouldering
through drifts and headed tor me
north. I was pretty well exhausted
when I reached Union square, and,
wiping the snow from my eyes, tried
to make out the triangles there. But
it was imnossible. There was no
light, and I plunged right through on
as straight a line as l could deter
mine upon. Sometimes I have run
across passages in novels of great ad
ventures in snowstorms; for example,
in stories of Russian life where there
would be a vivid description of a man's
struggle in a snow-swept and windy
plain; but I have always considered
the representation an exaggeration.
I shall never say so again, for after
what I encountered in last night's
blizzard I can believe that the strong
est description would fail to approxi
mate truth. I had got to the middle
of the park and was up to my arms in
a drift. I pulled the ice and snow
from my eyes and held my hands up
till everything was melted off so that
I might see; but it was too dark and
the snow too blinding. For nearly
twenty minutes I was stuck there,
and 1 came as near giving right up
nud sinking down there to die as a
man ran and not do it. Somehow I
got out and made my way along.
Whpn I reached the New York club,
at Twenty-fifth street, I was covered
all over with ico and packed snow,
and they wonld scarcely believe me
that I had walked from Wall street.
It took three hours to niako the jour
ney." Although he attended to business
for several days after this trying ail
venture, his friends remarked that lie
did not appear as bright and alert as

head and ear. Theso pains became '
acute and finally grew unbearable,
nnd ho summoned Dr. Agnew on Fri-1
day, March 30. Dr. Agnew, after nu
examination, decided that an abscess
had formed within the ear. Despite I
all effort to olleviaie the Dain. Mr. I
Conkling rapidly gicw worse and has '
failed steadily since. i

I am going to tell you of the extraordinary

some red pimplea like coming out all over my
body, but thought nothing of it until some
time later on, when it began to look like f pots
of mortar spotted on, and which came off In
layers, accompanied with itching. I would
scratch every night until I was raw, then the
next night the scales, being formed mean
while, were scratched off again. In vain did
I consult all the doctors in the country, but
without aid. After giving up all hopes of re
covery, I happened to see an advertisement
in the newspaper about your Curicum Rra

and obtained almost immediate relief. I be
