But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called Mlher's Friend , which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning s:ck' ness and the loss of the girlish figure.

JEET, ... Iiare of Your Valued COUNTRY DEVASTATED WITH FIRE AND SW0R9. Every Habitation Given to TorchThousands of Chines Perish. Being Drowned or Hunted Down and Shot Like Rabbits. New Y;i k, Sept. 21.?Concerning the massacre of 5,000 Cniuese at Blagovestcbensk by Russians, The Evening Post contains an account under da;e of August G L: "As soon as the Russian troops went down the river on transports, July 14, the fort at Aygun begun without warning to fire upon passing steamboats, and on the 15.h fire v as opened upon Blagovestcbensk at d seme Russian villagers were burned opposite the fort. The actual ii jury inflicted by the Chinese was slight, but the terror caused by it was inde scribable, and it drove the cossacks iDto a freLzy of rage. The peaceable Chinese to the number of 3,000 or 4,000 in the city were expelled in great haste, and being forced upon rafts entirely inadequate, were most of the drowned in attempting to cross [the liver.

We estimated that we | saw the dwellings of 20,000 peaceable Chinese in flames that awful day, while parties cf Cossacks were scouring the fields to fiufl Chinese and shooting them down at sight. What became of the women and children no one knew; there was apparently no way for them to escape to a place of safety.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafuess, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube g(ts inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but au inflamed condition of the mucousurs.faces. "We will give One Hundred Hollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir- j culars, free. Sold by all druggists. Price 75c.
