A Bride's Body Guard.

TWENTY MEN PROTECT THE LADY FRM A SHOWER OK MISSILES.

In an old church in Gotbland, ia | Sweden, a pile of lances is perserved., | Kach of the lances is fitted to hold a torch, and it is said the weapons were | used at one time to give light and protection to marriage parties on the way to church, the ceremony taking place at night, as a precaution against the bride being taken away by some Lichinvar who claimed a better right to her than the duty recognized suitor.

A recent writer, describing a marriage at Khurdistan, says he saw a young man carrying off his bride, | surrounded by a body-guard of some twenty or thirty men. These men were supposed to be protecting the happy coaple from a party of young women, who hurled pieces of earth and bumboes at the procession, and made show of rescuing the bride. As soon, however as the bridegroom his own village with his charge the assailaats ran home screaming aud laughing.

Among themselves the term * best man” is said to be a survival of the time when the bridegroom had to get stroog hands to aid him in securing the objoct of his affections. There is probably also a survival of the assaults that were than made on marriage parties in the showers of rice and old slippers bestowed so freely on the newly wedded.

5. Take four hour-’ active exercise in the open a'r

Summer colds are the worst of all colds oftentimes, as it is then very diffi- cult to protect one’s self properly. A ten grain dose of quinine will usually break up acold fn the beginning. Any- thing that will set the blood actively in cireulation will do it, whether it be drugs or the use of a bucksaw.—-Wedi- eal News.

NASAL BALM

Torrennam, Ont., May 3rd, 1887.

I have been troubled with nasal catarrh for the last five years. Seeing Nasal Baim ad- vertised I procured a bottle, and although I have only used part of it, I do not hesitate to pronounce it the best remedy in the world for that loathsome disease, Catarrh. Itis easy and pleasant to ase, soothing and healing in its action, instant ia giving relief, removes and changes the poisonous secretions to a healthy state, stops the droppings from the head into the throat, and removes all the symptoms of Catarrh and Cold in the Head. In fact, if the directions are faithfully followed, nothing but a sure and permanent cure can be the result. Yours truly, JNO. 8S. GEORGE,

of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments Pea to females, at the Invalids

Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt- ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladics.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. ‘Thousands of testimo- nials, received from patients and from physi- cians who have tested it in the more aggra- vated and obstinate cases which had bafiied their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended asa “ cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments.

Asa powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to e whole system, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” *run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,’’ house- keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.

As a soothing and strengthening norvine, “Favorite Prescription” is une-

ualed and is invaluable in allaying and gub-

uing nervous excitability, irritability, ex- haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms com- monly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de- spondency.

Dr. Pierce’s Faverite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adap to woman's delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in ita composition and poset y harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys- pepsia and kindred symptoms, its usc, in small doses, will prove very beneficial.

“Favorite Prescription” is a posi-«- tive cure for the most complicated and ob- stinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, prolapeus, or falling of the womb, weak back, *femaie weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in- flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with ‘* internal heat.”

As a regulator and promoter of func- tional action, at that critical - riod of change from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Pre- scription” is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It ig capella: @ eacious and valuable in its effects Ww en for those disorders and derange- ments incident to that later and most critical period, known as “ The Change of Life.”

Favorite Prescription, when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce's Pureptive Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous bumors from the system.

Favorite wressyi oe » is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a a - uarantee, from the manu- facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every cam, or eeey will be refunded. This guaran- tee been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.
