EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, 13v ONE
OF THEM. '
Influenza is not so bad in itself. It
is the awful forebodings and memories
and remorse and regret that it brings
with it and leaves behind it, that make
it a more dreaded affliction than dys-
pepsia or a toothache.
All diseases do not make every one .
unhappy, and some even make the vic-
tim’s friends jocular—as, for 1nstance,
mumps, when it attacks a grown per-
son. But influenza spreads a blanket
of gloom over the victim and everyOne.
who comes in contact with him.
Bearing ills with angelic meekness
is not a part of the influenza victim’s
programme. He is as cross as he is
miserable, and feeling that his friends
will have only a short time to bear with
him, he take no pains to hide his bad
humor and dissatisfaction
world in general.
In the case of an abnormally amiable
person, influenza has been known to
cause silent and hopeless melancholy
without crossness, and surely pessimist
but normal being, even of ordinary
courage and consideration when well,
in the majority of the cases, snap and
bark and growl and groan.
would never dream of doing, if ill with
pneumonia or typhoid or any orther,
reasonable malady.
A doctor tells a story of a young wo-
man who a few days before the date set
for her wedding was seized by the
“McCartney microbe.” She was dosed
nursed, but did not go to bed. as her
case did not seem serious. and she was
up to her eyes in her wedding p1 epaia-
tions.
She apparently improved, but on the
morning of her wedding a servant came
flying to the physician’s house, begging
him to “come to see Miss Alice, who
had gone out of her mind. ” He found
that young woman up and dressed and
as self-possessed as usual, but quite firm
in a decision that she would not marry
at 12 o’clock—or at any other hour 01'
day.
She had been thinking over her
prospective wedding. she said, and she
really didn’t think she cared to marry.
In vain did he1 fathel and mother. he1
o1ste1s and even a big-voiced b1dther
(who was to be best man f01 the 111st
time in his life, and objected to a post-
ponement of the ceremony) entreated
her to tell them why she had come to
such a sudden resolution.
The doctor managed to ghake her
stubborn refusal to say what was the
matter, but beyond saying that “Char—
lie was unworthy of her” she explained
nothing. Finally, as a last resource,
her wedding dress was brought out,
and she dissolved in tears, and then
Charlie Was sent for. The wedding
took place at 12, and so no one but the
family and the doctor knew how very
nearly it came to not taking place at
all. The mystery was very simple.
Alice had been wakeful, and had
spent the night conjuring up the pleas-
ant possibilities of Charlie’s past and
future, coming to the conclusion that
she could not possibly marry such a rep-
probate. Of course, his misdeeds were
purely imaginary, but this story is not.

When a person gets into trouble, the
individuals who apparently come to
sympathize are mere frequently after
the particulars.
It is strange in this world that the
work we personally consider our best is
not so regarded by others.
Are women less honest than men in
their business dealings ? The query
is prompted by the suspicious manner
men assume when they have any money
transactions with the opposite sex.
It is fashionable to have the grip, but '
rather dangerous to take that belong-
ing to some one else, as the man soon

Women Shiin Know ll.
Many women suife1 untold agony and
misery because the natuie of their dis-
ease is not co1rectly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills
that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing-
down sensation, profuse 0r scanty sup-
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn-
ing sensation, sediment in‘ it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four heurs, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The abOVe symptoms are often at-
tributed by the patient herself, or by
her physician, .to female weakness or‘
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, because they are treating]
not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney
trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are‘i
made misei able with kidney and blad-.
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits, you
may have a sample bottle and book
telling all about it, both sent absolute-
ly free by mail. Kindly mention THE
