He who itves both of his hands in the ar hospital?these nieinhers havig been destroyed in the line of nty?will enjoy an allowance of 100 a month, in addition to the thor penjuisitcs allowed by the ovcrnmcnt. The same will he iven for the hiss of of both eyes, he loss of both feet will be orth $72 a month. One hand id one foot together will be ortli $05, the same as given for nputation at or above one elbow r knee. One hand or one foot ill he worth $do, the same :n iven for total deafness. Should wl ray Spanish bullet happen by innco to gouge out one eve ?17 month will lie paid, hut if the vo remains and merely the sight lost, tho monthly allowance ill he ?5 less.

This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad1 vertised to do unreasonable things, but a p 6cieiitificnJly prepared liniment especially eflfet tive in adding strength and elasticity to those parts of woman's organism which j bear the severest strains of childbirth. The liniment may Ire used at any and ' all times during pregnancy up to the I very hour of confinement. The earlier it is begun, ami the longer uaed, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been I usctl (luring the last month only with great benefit and success.
