There sre thousands of females who suffer untold miseries common to their sex. This is largely due te the peculiar habits of life and fashion, and the improper train. ing of girlhood. Then, too, the physical changes that matk the three eras of woman. hood (the maiden, the wife, and the mother) have much to do with her sufferings, most of which are endured in silence, unknown by even the family physician and most in. timate friends. To all such whose hollow cheeks, pale faces, sunken and feeble footsteps, in- dicate palpitation of the heart, weak, faint and dizy spells, we would recommend & course of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills.

Many Mysterious Crimes to the Perpetrators of Which There is No Clue. Berlin, Feb. 18.--Police and public are becoming alarmed at the increas ing frequency of murders in Berlin. There have already been four horrible crimes in this city since the beginning of the year. A fifth came to light yesterday, when the battered corpse of a widow named Rosa Wiesner was discovered in* her lodging, where it had lain for eleven days. The auth- ors of the three murders perpetrated this month have not yet been traced and there seems scant prospect of the police being able to lay hands onthe murderer of Fran Wiesner. +' - eight, with. a little money saved, which she lent out at interest, god also took in lodgers. On the worning of January 16th one of these people, on entering at mid-day, found a note stating that Frau Weisner had gone away for a few days to the funeral of ber sister. The lodger was suite upsuspicious that anything wrong had occurred and slept nightly in the room next to the chamber where the land. lady lay murdered in her bed until yes- terday, when he noticed a peculiar odor and notified the police. All the authorities have to go on ix a note, which is evidently the work of the murderer, and a heavy axe wherewith the crime was committed. In the dobate on the estimates for the ministry of justice in the Prussian diet the conservative deputy, Herr Strosser, brought up the increasing frequency of crimes of violence in Ber- lin and other large towns in Prussia. He referred to the number of attacks on women and children and expressed regret that so many misdeeds remain- ed unexplained. He declared that the Prussian detective force had the re. putation, of being the worst organized on the contigent. In the further course of his most sensible remarks the speaker advocated the introduction of corporal punishment for authors of such brutal crimes, and protested against treating criminals a= mental degenerates instead of regarding them simply as criminals.
