i Half This Man's Suffe ings Would Have Killed Many a Person, but Doan’s Cured Him. A. C. Sprague, stock dealer, of Nor- mal, Ill., writes: “For two whole years I was doing nothing but buying medi- 2 cines to cure my kidneys. I do not think that any man ever suffered as I did and lived. The pain in my back was so bad that I could not sleep at a4 night. I could A. C. SPRAGUE. not ride a horse and sometimes was unable even to ride in a car. My condition was critical when I sent for Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used three boxes and they cured me: Now I can go anywhere and do-as yauch as anybody.

How They Saved. the Shop of a Kansas Blacksmith—Cure was Permanent too. Goodland, Kan., Feb. 20th.—(Spe- cial)—So quick and complete was @he gure of N. E. Albertson, a local black- smith, that it almost seems like a miracle. He had Rheumatism so bad he feared he would have to give up his shop. One box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills drove away all the pains and they have never returned. Speaking of his cure Mr. Albertson says: “I had rheumatism in my shoulders and-arms for yeats. Part of the time it was so bad I ‘could not sleep at night. My arm hurt so that it seem- ed I would have to give up my black- smith shop. I went to the drug store and bought one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and took them. I have not had the Rheumatism since. A great many of the neighbors are using Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills since they saw how they cured me.” : To Be Explicit. Ezra Corntossle—My dog kin jump as high as thet barn.

READS THE BOOK. “The Road to Wellville” Pointed the Way. Down at Hot Springs, Ark., the vis- {tors have all sorts of complaints, but itis a subject of remark that the great majority of them have some trouble with stomach and bowels. This may be partly attributed to the heavy med- icines. Naturally, under the conditions, the question of food is very prominent. A young man states that he had suf- fered for nine years from stomach and bowel trouble, had two operations which did not cure, and was at last threatened with appendicitis. He went to Hot Springs» for rheu- matism and his stomach trouble got worse. One day at breakfast the waiter, knowing his condition, sug- gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which he did, and found the food ‘agreed with him perfectly. After the second day he began to sleep peacefully at night, different than he had for years, The perfect di. | alone? worker, &s well as tireless, sayS @ yriter in the Los Angeles Times, One of his assistants was as large as he was and as good a worker; but once in three or four months he would give way to an inordinate thirst for beer, which incapacitated him for work four or five days, or sometimes @ whole week. On one of these occa- ‘sions, when Senator Plumb particular- ly needed him, the Senator introduced a resolution in the Senate forbidding the sale of any kind of liquor to em- ployes of Senators or of the Senate, and he delivered an impassioned speech in favor of the resolution. The preceding evening Senator Plumb had been dallying a bit with wine, but that part of the story was best told by Senator Vest of Missouri, who said: ‘I think that my friend Plumb has greater powers of endur- ance than any man I have ever known and he demonstrates that fact in his everyday life. For example, last night Plumb and Mahone and Hatton and John Chamberlin and a few other friends spent considerable time eating and drink and smoking, and finally we entered upon a little game of draw. Before I realized it the clocks in Chamberlin’s were striking 5 o’clock, and the game was brought to a close. I went home and left orders to be called at 11 o'clock, because it was ‘calendar day’ in the Senate, and I wanted to be there at the opening of the session at noon, to look after a particular bill that I had on the cal- endar. I was awakened, had my bath and breakfast and reached the Sen- ate just in time for my duty. I met Plumb at the door, and he told me that he had been at work all morn- ing on his correspondence, but that he was not tired. “With the calendar before me, I leaned my head on my hands, watch- ing and waiting for my turn, and I fell fast asleep. I slept for fully an hour, and might have slept longer’ but for an awful dream. I dreamed fiat I was sitting at my desk, unable to get up, and the capitol building was on fire. I could see the flarhes all around me. The marble stones were burning, the Goddess of Liberty on the dome, although of bronze, was al! aflame. _The capitol was sur- rounded by fire engines, many of them having come from Baltimore and Phil- adelphia. I heard the captains of the firemen shouting their orders and I tried to call for help, but I could not. Finally, as the flames crept closer and all around me, all of the noises of the engines and the firemen and the flames were condensed into one awful roar. This continued, until it seemed to me like one tremendous human voice. Moreover, that great big voice began to sound familiar to me. It seemed to me as though out of its awful roaring I might expect that voice to frame the words: ‘Vest, I raise you;’ or ‘Vest, I call you.’ This awful voice finally awakened me; and, mirabile dictu, there stood Plumb, as fresh as a daisy, delivering a temper- ance speech.” The Dreamer.

The poet laureate greeted him’cordial- ly and said: “Fond of pigs?” “Why, certainly, my lord,” replied the interviewer. “Follow me, then,’ and Tennyson seized his broad-brimmed hat, threw his Inverness coat over his shoulders, and walked out by the back door, across the yard, through the farm, and on to the pig ‘sties. The journatist followed, holding up his lavender trousers and walking on tip-toe as he crossed the filthy yard. The poet stopped at a sty, and, leaning over the wall, he scratched the back of a huge sow, and for the first time spoke. “Isn't she a beauty ?”—scratch—“oh, | such a beauty”—scratch—‘eh, my charmer? Show yourself to this dis- tinguished gentleman”—scratch—“you like interviewing”—scratch—“appre- ciate the honor, my beauty”—scratch —‘“don't you, eh?’—scratch. Then the poet laureate turned round to the journalist and, holding out his hand, said: « “Good morning, sir,” and so the in- terview terminated.

American Women A Fores me te ee at Women’s Clubs— , e Future of a ‘Country on the Health of Its Women. ee At the New Yorlf State Assembly of Mothers, a prominent New York doctor told the 500 women present that healthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct. This seems to be a sweeping state- ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and donot have some trouble arising from a derange- ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back- aches, nervousness, that bearing-down feeling. painful or irregular menstrua- tion, leucorrheea, displacement of the uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness? There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound has restored more American women to health than’ all other reme- dies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com- plaints. Such testimony as the following should be convincing. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ta., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “lcan truly say that you havesaved my life and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years I spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for men- strual irregularities and I had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but I was permuaded, to By Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- ble Compound and three bottles have re- stored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would have ,been in my grave to-day.” lydia E. Miss Mattie Henry, Vice-President of Danville Art Club, 489 Green St., Dan- ville, Va., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—'Many years’ suffer- ing with female weakness, inflammation and a broken down system made me more anx- ious to diethan tolive,butLydiaE. Pinkham’s Vegans Compound has restored my health and I am so grateful for it that I want every suffering woman to know what LydiaE. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound will do for her.” When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed-or painful men- struation, weakness, leucorrhea, dis- placement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflamma- tion of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatulency), general debility, indi- gestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irri- tability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, ‘‘all-gone” and ‘‘want-to- be-left-alone” feelings, blues, and hope- lessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once rentoves such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. A light heart, a cheerful countenance, | and all the charms of grace and beauty are dependent upon proper action of the | bodily organs.
