An
Invitation
to
V&onten
All the world knows of the wonder
ful cores which have been made by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
ail she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cu red.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
mouth after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has heiped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same derangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and confidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in
the world has the magnifieent record
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
Ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,
Mass.
Three Letters from Ono

Sought Mrs- Pinkham's
AM, and was cured of
Suppression of the Men
ses and Inflammation of
the Ovaries m
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I have been
in bed a year. Doctors say I have
female weakness. I have a bad dis
charge and much soreness across my
ovaries, bearing-down pains and have
not menstruated for a year. Doctors say
the menses will never appear again.
Hope to hear from you." Mrs. J. F.
Brown, Holton, Kan's., April 1, 1898.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I received
your letter. I have taken one bottle
and a half of your Vegetable Com
pound, and used two packages of your
Wash, and feel stronger and better.
I can walk a few steps, but could not
before taki.g your Compound. I still
have the discharge and am sore across
the ovaries, but not so bad. Every
one thinks I look better since taking
Sour Vegetable Compound. " Mrs. J. P.
Ibown, Holton, Kans., Aug. 13, 1898.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I think it is
my duty to let you know the good that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound has
done me. After I took three bottles,
menses appeared, and I began to feel
stronger and all my pain was gone.
Tours is the only medicine that ever
helped me. 1 am able now to work
around the house, something I did not
expect to ao again. Mrs j . h. Brown,

headache, backache; nervousness, and
can neither eat nor sleep." Mrs. Cab
a Phillips, Anna, 111., July 19, 1897.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I want to
thank you for what you have done for
me. When I wrote to you I was a
total wreck. Since taking your Vege
table Compound, Liver Pills and Sana
tive Wash, my nerves are stronger
and more steady than ever before, and
my backache and those terrible pains
are gone. Before I took yom medi
cine I weighed less than one hundred
and thirty pounds. I now weigh one
hundred and fifty-five pounds. Your
medicine is a godsend to poor weak
women. I would like to ask you why
I cannot have a child. I have been
married nearly three years." Mrs.Cab
bik Phillips. Anna, 111., Dec. 1, 1897.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I did just as
Ton advised me, and now I am the
happy mother of a fine baby girl. I
believe I never would have had her
without your Vegetable Compound."
Mas. Carrie Phillies, Anna, 111., Jan.

Proof that Falling of the
Womb Is Overcome by
Lydia Em Pinkham's Vege

" Dear Mrs. Pinkham When 1
wrote to you some time ago, 1 had
been suffering from falling of the
womb for many years without obtain
ing relief. Was obliged to wear a
bandage all the time ; also had bad
headache and backache, felt tired and
worn out. After taking six bottles of

Inflammatory Kheumatism la a Com
plaint No One Need Covet.
The name rheumatism Is applied to a
great variety of affections accompan
ied with pain in the joints or muscles,
some of them more of a gouty or uric
add nature, others probably of infec
tious origin, and others still the expres
sion of some disease of the nervous
structures.
Acute articular or Inflammatory rheu
matism is a disease characterized by
pain and swelling in one or more of the
joints, usually the larger bones, such
as the knee, together with fever of j
more or less intensity. It is a disease
of temperate climates, especially in
cold and damp regions, being very sel
dom seen In the tropics. It occurs In
this country chiefly in late winter and
early spring, although it may occur,
particularly on the seacoast, at any j
time of the year. In England it is
said to be most frequent in the autumn.
It attacks persons between the ages
of 15 and 40 more commonly than those
who are older or younger.
Physicians are not yet agreed as to
its nature, although many now incline
to regard it as a germ disease. It be
gins gradually, with slight aching in
the limbs, sore throat and a general
feeling of depression. The appetite
fails, the tongue is heavily coated, oftajn
there Is complaint of headache, and of
chilly sensations and the sufferer Is
generally "out of sorts." There is fev
erishness, and as this increases, pain
and swelling appear in one or more of
the large joints. The joints attacked
are hot, red and exquisitely painful and
have every appearance of being severe
ly Inflamed.
All these symptoms may disappear in
a single night from one joint and ap
pear at the same time in another; and
so the disease may go on, attacking
one joint after another, those first af
fected recovering much of their tone
and function. One of the characteris
tic symptoms is profuse perspiration;
the skin is not red and dry, as in moat
fevers, but cool, moist and sometimes
actually dripping with sweat.
The disease may come to an end in a
week or ten days, or it may go on at
tacking joint after joint and when all
have suffered It may begin over again
and so go on indefinitely. As long as
the rheumatism Is confined to the
joints there is little danger, although
occasionally death results from exces
sive fever; but there is always danger
that it may attack the lining membrane
of the heart and cripple the organ per
manently. Rarely it attacks the mem
brane of the brain, causing violent de
lirium or death. Youth's Companion.'
CALLED ENGLAND'S BLUFF.
Russian Diplomat Won Port Arthur
by a Coop After a Peace Rumor.
Count Muravleff's most famous
"coup" was the grabbing of Port Ar
thur. Concerning that bit of active
diplomacy on the part of the late Rus
sian Minister, the following story Is
being told: Muravieff, it is said, heard
at the psychological moment in the ne
gotiations during the Chinese crisis of
two years ago of Queen Victoria's
i vowed determination never to sign an
Dther declaration of war. With this
knowledge at command he held the key
it the situation in the far East
He knew that Great Britain would
aot "risk a war," and, therefore, he
read the brave talk about the "open
door" with a smile, and received Lord
Salisbury's protests thereby as signi
fying so many pretty phrases and hit
veiled threats as simply bluff. In this
way, say those who believe the story,
lies the explanation of that sudden
withdrawal of the British ships of war
from Port Arthur after they had gone
In with such brave parade. They were
sent as an ultimatum, but the Admiral
discovered that there was nothing at
the back of the ultimatum.
In short, M'iravleff's discovery of the
alleged determination of the Queen
never to sign another declaration of
war enabled him to accomplish without
i shot what Russia had secretly been
itrlving to reach for centuries. In the
anguage of the new diplomacy, it was
he scoop of the century.
Racing Camels.
Of all animals the camei would seem
to be the least likely to distinguish It
self at a race, yet camel raceo are held
regularly In the south of Algeria, where
valuable prizes are offered for the en
couragement of the breed of racers;
and as much Interest is taken In their
preparation and performances as In
that of race horses at Latonia. The rac
ing camels are the result of very care
ful breeding through many generations,
and in size, temper and appearance
they are so different from the ordinary
beast of burden that they might almost
be considered a different race of ani
mals. Perhaps the most conspicuous
characteristic of the ordinary camel is
Its extreme slowness. Nothing op earth
will ever Induce It to hurry. Twenty
five dollars will buy a very fair speci
men, but for a mehart, or racing camet,
five or ten times that sum is paid. The
racer, however, can be depended on for
nine or ten miles an hour, kept up for
sixteen or seventeen hours almost with
out a stop. The pace in a camel race is
generally fast and furious at the begin
ning, when all the animals are together
and seem to realize that a contest is In
progress.
Bamboo in China.
Bamboo is of universal use in China.
The windows are delicate lattice work
of bamboo, and the furniture is of slen
der bamboo, bent and curled and plait
ed. The water bucket Is a good big
stalk, sawed off just below the joint
and made as deep as needed above it.

But Mr. Harris Tld Hot Want Papers

"We doctors have some odd experi
ences at times," said a medical exam
iner of a large insurance company the
other day. "There is a certain suburb
an settlement on the outskirts of New
York, which shall be nameless, as the
residents are continually engaged in
Litigation with one another.
"Their litigious habits have made
them suspicious of all strangers who
visit their place of abode. Not long
since my company directed me to go
out there and examine an applicant for
a policy, and his name well, I'll call
him Harris. I drove out there In my
gig and stopped at the house where, ac
cording to the application, Mr. Harris
resided. I rang the bell, and a middle
aged man, with a very large nose, and
wearing a large diamond in bis shirt
bosom,' opened the door.
" "1 want to see Mr. Harris,' I said.
"'What do you want with him?' he
asked, suspiciously.
" "That is my private business,' I re
plied. "But I want to see him. Is he at
home?'
" ls It any law business?' he asked.
'Do you want to serve any papers on
him?'
" 'Oh, no,' I responded, 'I was sent
here by the Blank Insurance Company,
to which he has made application for
life insurance. I am a medical exam
iner.' " 'All right,' he said, apparently great
ly relieved. 'I'll see if he is In.'
"With that he closed the door, and I
turned to watch my horse. In less
than a minute 1 heard the door open
again and a voice said:
f 'I understand you want to see Mr.
Harris. That's my name.'

DEDICATED A ROOF GARDEN.
Band Concert and Refreshments at a
New Church Heaort.
The Central Christian Church of Co
lumbus, Ind., resolved that the chil
dren of the world shall not enjoy a
monopoly of the good things of exist
ence, has just opened a roof garden
upon the church edifice, which Is to
serve as a resort for members and the
general public during the hot weather,
and as a place of worship whenever it
shall be deemed advisable. This roof
garden was formally dedicated last
week. It was illuminated with electric
lights -and decorated with palms, flow
ers and fancy lanterns. Refreshments
were served on small tables throughout
the garden and the place resembled a
genuine roof garden as closely as It
could consistently to be upon a churcb.
Another concert will be given soon.
TERM "MOB."
It fetms to Hare Been Used as Far
Back as Chancer.
As Indicating the populace, prover
bially fickle and easy to be moved (mo
bile, from Latin mobilis) the expression
"the mobil people' is as old as the time
of Chaucer; but. In Its later serrithat
of a disorderly crowd, and In Its con
tracted form, "mob," It is not r'der
than the post-Restoration period. In
Roger North's Examen, 1740, valuable
for the many original anecdotes of En
glish history that it contains, reference
s made (Page 574) to a certain club (the
Ureen Ribbon Club, 1680-82), and the
writer adds: "1 may note that the rab
ble first changed their title and were
?alled the mob, In the assemblies of this
;lub first mobile vulgus, then contract
ed in one syllable." It was used best
tatlngly at first by Dryden (Don Se
bastian, 1690, Durfy (Commonwealth
of Women, 1686), and Shadwell (Squire
it Alsatia, 1688), and Richardson points
ut that Dryden uses both "mobile"
ind "mob" in the sense of rabble: the
former In the stage directions as the
:ommon word, the latter as If it had not
ong been Introduced. In 1711 the Spec
tator Instances "mob" as an example
of the popular tendency to curtail many
of our words In familiar writings and
conversation. The verb, "to mob," de
rived, of course, as above, does not oc
cur until the period of Horace Walpole
many years later, and Shakspeare's ex
pression, "the mobled Queen" (Hamlet),
refers not to the "mob" (mobile), but to
the headdress in disorder.
Too Late for tiis Appointment.
George Canning and a friend were
looking at a picture of the Delnge, in
which an elephant was seen struggling
In the waters, while the ark had floated
some distance away. "I wonder," said
the statesman's friend, "that the ele
phant did not secure an inside place."
"He was too late," suggested Canning;
"he was detained packing up his
trunk."
How Lincoln Bore Defeat.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or -imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deainess is tna result, and unless t he inflamma
tion can be taken out ami this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing willbe destroyed
forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition oi the mucous surfaces.

The above picture shows the house where George Dewey was born Decem

the admiral's father. It then oame into the possession of Captain Edward
Dewey, who sold it to its present owner and ooenpant, T. R. Gordon, Esq..
in the summer of 1889. Mr. Gordon moved it to its present site in the follow
ing Februaiy 1890, and has occupied it until the present time. Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon are unfailing in their courtesy to the thouands who visit this shrine,
the birthplace of Admiral Dewey.
A recent letter from T. R. Gordon to the Feruna Drug M'f'g Co., Colum

"It is with great satisfaction that I find myself able, after an extended trial
to write you in this e-nphatic manner of the good your Pernna has done my

'She has been troubled with catarrh from Childhood, and
whenever she has a cold, or any unusual condition of the weather
it was worse than usual, and seemed more than she could bear.
The dropping in her throat at night prevented refreshing sleep, in fact, we had
come to look upon it as incurable, and from the many remedies used in vain,
we had reason to.
"We are thankful and happy to say that your 'Peruna' has been
of great benefit to her, and 1 confidently look, for a complete and
entire cure. High praise is not too much to bestow upon your remedy."

The most enrions street pavement in
the wolrd is that which has recently
