"When my little boy was sir months old he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts os thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short, the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bcd wc had to pin Ins hands down, otherwise he would scratch his face, and make an open sore. 1 think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing-could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with che cliild to Europe, hoping that fb? sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under .iood medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came different, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Oint ment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided im provement. Jusr as quickly as the sick ness had appeared it also began to disap pear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.

SKETCH OF THE LIFE And a True Story of How Had Its Birth and How it to be Offered for Pu This remarkably woman;'' whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February; 9th, 1519, com ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert and investigating suind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham. a builder and real estate operator, an-.l their early married life Was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies calling' in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop erties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so ?50untifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the bod}', and' it was her pleasure to B?arch these out, and prepare simple and effective medi cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of the choicest medicinal, roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this 60 fnr was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial cris:s struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, aa ibis class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to - TO FARMERS AN ? you cannot spend years and do buy tho knowledge required bj cents. You want them to pay l them as a diversion.

PINKHAM the Vegetable Compound the "Panic of '73" Caused iblic Sale in Drug Stores. restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was 6o good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the? women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped- on the stoves, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had. given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed, by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, 8elf-adverti6ing, for whoever used it recommended it tc others, a-nd the de mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam ily had saved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege table Compound have become house hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. PinJcham herself did not live to sec the great succe6B of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work aa effectively as Bhe could have done it herself. During her long and eventful expe rience she was ever methodical in her" work and she was always careful to pre serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were thousands-received oareful study, and the details, includ ing symptoms, treatment ahd results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collabora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library tn the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its origina tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she has continued it, and uothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of ? large family, took it up. With woman assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work,and probably from -the office of no other person have so many women been ad vised how to regain health, Sick wo men; this advice ia "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it.

NtewYork?lty Serious toss of Life and Prop erty rt Albany, Georgia SEVERAL DEAD AND MANY HURT Havoc Was Wrought Over Portions of a Dozen Blocks, Largely in Ne gro. Quarter, and the Fact That Scores Were Not Killed Outright is Amazing in View of Wreckage Left. Albany, Ga., Special.-A tornado of terrific force passed over Albany at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon coming from a southwesterly direction and spreading ruin and desolation over portions of a dozen blocks. Sev eral persons are dead and others will die ?as the result of injuries, and many are more or less seriously hurt Viewing the wreckage left by the tor nado, it seems a miracle that scores were not kiled outright, the tribute claimed in the way of human lives be ing astonishingly small. The known dead are: '?. Ben Jones, a negro machinist in the employ of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company. Jake Johnson, a 9-year-old negro boy. . Among those whose injuries will, in all probability, prove fatal are: ? Lula Gladden, jessie Davis, Annie Davis, and Jessie Woodall. The list is still incomplete, owing to the fact that much of thc destruc tion wrought was well beyond 1 the city limits. Reports from the tornado after it left Albany have, not been re ceived.' Hundreds of negroes in the city are homeless and many have lost all .their household effects. The in jured are being cared for and efferts are being made to secure shelter for all. This is difficult owing to the scarcity of all kinds of dwelling houses in the cit)'. Under direction of Mayor-Rawson, relief will be se cured and promptly furnished those in the greatest distress. It is difficult to estimate the prop erty loss. The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company is the principal sufferer, its destroyed buildings and machinery bavin? been worth prob ably $60,000. It^ is safe to say that the total loss will bc found to exceed $150,000. Very little of the de stroyed property was protected by tor nado insurance. The Southern Bell Telephone Com pany is among the heaviest sufferers. Its lines were down in' several parts of the city. Some little apprehension is felt for Preoria, in the southwest ern part of the county. The tornado came from'that direction, and as the telegraph wires are down, nothing can be heard from there. To Settle Virginia's Part. Richmond,. Va., Special.-John B.

These holders will accept as full payment whatever may be awarded by the courts in adjudicating the matter, re lieving this State of all their part of the debt. Suit will be brought in the name of Virginia. Orders 8,729 Freight Cars.

Hannis and others. The robin had a nest of little ones in an apple tree near the garden. When the snake wriggled across the field toward the tree the bird swooped down and attacked it vigorously with claws and bill, aiming its attacks at the head of the adder, which spat and hissed, but was soon put out of the battle. Not, however, on the first round, as it gradually came to after the robin had left it and began to move. The bird discovered the motion and flew again at the snak.e, not leav ing lt until it was dead.-Boston Globe. Difference in Creeds. .
