She is now starting on her third bottle. Wine of Cardul and Thedford's Black. Drught have worked like magi with her. 1 have told some of my acquaintances of your medicines and tan hea.-tily recommend themn to others. My daughter had both uterine and ovarian symptoms, side ach", backache, and a headache now and then, espedally in the top of the head. But the ~ost stubborn pain was in the lekit side at the lower edge of the ribs or three or four inches abve the upper part ol the groin, with soreness of the whole abdomen during the period. ___________ Mrs. B. T. MILLIKEN. Mothers whose daughters are nearing the age of womanhood should give a care to their con-. dition. before they reach the stage of suffering Mrs. Miliken describes. Too often beautiful and promisng girls become permanent invalids bause df a lack of proper caution at this crtical period of their lives. The important thing for a girl just entering womanhood is to be started right Then a healthy and happy life will foiow. WINEorCARDUI isb the great emmenagogue. It will regulate the menstrual flow. It will start the girl righLt. Every mother should present her daughter with a bottle of Wine of Cardui and teach her to ry on it as a friend. Girls who take an occasional dose of this pure Wine are strong and healthy. They avoid much agony at torture. Mrs. Milliken's daughter was cured of all her suffcring and now she is a utrong woman. Your daughter may be strong. There is no danger to fear at the coming of the menstrual habit where Wine of Cardui is allowed to start healthy periods. Thousands of mothers cndorse Wine of Cardul. AU druggists sell $1.00 bottles. In cas requiring peeial directions, addre.s, giving symptoms. "The Ladie.' Adviory Deprtmont", The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.

The stalkine ghost of tbh< old Clayton-Bulwer treaty bas lonf enougb impeded this great enterprisE upon blch the American people havE aft their hearts. In the opinion ol niany statesmtnen of both parties, pasl and present, tbhis treaty ought to havE been abrogated years ago. as the rea sons for its proniulgatiun long agc censed to exist. The only reason foi suoli a convention was that at the time It was entered into in 1850 Great Brit ain ciaimed certain rights in the Mos quito Coast ly reason of a sort of pro tectorate she had assumed over tbc Mosquito Indians. Years ago this rath er iudetinite protectorate camne to a formal close. and Great Britain con cluded a treaty with Nicaragua by which she formally resigned whatever rights she may have had in that quar ter. Thus many American statesmen and diplomatists. among them Secreta ry Evarts and Secretary Blaine. dur Ing their connection with the state de partment. have held that there was no occasion for the continuance of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and that It should be abrogated. Had this been done there would have ,been no occa ulon for the Hay-Pauncefote agree ment. and the diplomatic complicatlons which It brings Into the canal questlon would have been obviated. We would then have had to deal only with the parties In Interest-Nicaragua and Cos ta Rica-through portions of whose ter ritory the canal will pass. It may be recalled that the Clayton Bulwer treaty was strongly denounced by the senate committee on foreign re lations In 1890. which was composed of the following eminent statesmen: John Sherman. George F. Edmunds, William P. Frye, Willam M. Evarts, Joseph N. Dolpb. John T. Morgan. Joseph E. Brown, Henry B. Payne and James B. Eustls, two of whom. Messrs. Frye and Morgan. are memibers of tlihe pres ent commiittee. After stating in vigor ous ternims their premises and showing how in 1802 Great Britain had deliher ately violated the treaty. the cominittee unanitnously concluded that "thle Unit ed States is at present under no obli gation, ineasured eitlier by the terms of the convention. the principles of public law or good morals. to refrain from promoting. in any way ttuat it may deeim best for lts just Inti-rst . the coustruction of this canal without ruzard to anything contained lin the convention of 1S0." Both Nicaragun and Costa Rica want the canal almniost as imuchi as 4oes the United States andi have Instructed their ministers *o enter into treaty arranige nimeuts for its construction tiiri'iogh their territory. They desire, hlowever, that all outside diplonratic comiplica tions should first be dIispoised of. l ;ih Minister Core and Uinister Calv have lately expressed in very entlin klastic terms tiheir sati'-faction over te prospect that work is lik-ly to begin before many montlis on the treat enterprise. which tiny fully ree znirze will tbrn n inci prestie-e annl unaterial hbenelits to thie littie repub les wliich they represenit. itfirin' to Iie project, Minister Cora said ti:e >ither day: "I spent sorne time in conforenee with the president and members of the 'abinfet at Mintigua. anidl 1 ainm happy o say that P'resident Zel.ya anl his issociates, andl, in fact. tlie wlhole ,ountry, are eniittiusia.stic on thle future if thei great waterway whicli will con ribute so greatly to the cominmerce of he world.
