The Gazette

THE GAZETTE. One Year..... $1.50 Six Months..... 1.00 Three Months..... 5.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, on second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Hon. W. J. Akers, one of the republican candidates for the mayoralty nomination, is the only one who is close to our people of this city as the result of a sterling friendship of long years' standing that must be taken into consideration. Every Afro-American voter in Cleveland should work and vote for him. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a letter from Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard university, Cambridge, Mass., that shows him to be a friend of the race instead of a caterer to southern prejudices, viciousness and barbarism. We are glad to have it, because mob violence cannot have too many enemies and because the race needs all the friends it can get. For one, we object to a Washington, D. C., office-holder or any other person alleging to represent The Gazette at a banquet or elsewhere, without our permission. This paper had no representative at the Lyons-Cheatham banquet to Washington newspaper men of color, and others, and Mr. Henry Y. Arnett had absolutely no right to pose as such. If he did not do so, he certainly has had enough time and opportunities since to correct the many publications to that effect. In discussing "taxation as a determent" anent Ohio's anti-lynching law, the editor of the Indianapolis Freeman reminds us very much of "Willie Lewis," whose friend had been arrested and jailed for some trifling misdemeanor. When Willie arrived at the jail door to bail out his friend he began to question him as to the cause of his arrest, winding up his interrogations with the following exclamation: "Why, deah boy, they cannot put you in jail for that." To which Willie's friend replied: "Well, they have done so—aint I in?" The fact of the matter is, the deterrent effect of Ohio's anti-lynching law has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its most enthusiastic friends, notwithstanding the fact that our conferee insists that the contrary is true, just as Willie Lewis did in his friend's case. The first Urbana lynching cost Champaign county $5,000 as a result of Ohio's law against mob violence and lynching. It was the knowledge of this fact, or rather the deterrent effect resultant, which prevented the mob from gathering so quickly and which brought out the "vigilance of the officers" who "wrested the coveted prize from its grasp." There is no question as to this except upon the part of those who have no practical knowledge, but simply delight in theorizing as does Willie Richelieu Lewis. Like the editor of the Washington (D. C.) Colpred American, who, last week, rushed to the assistance of my good friend, Timothy Thomas Fortune, the malicious editor of The New York Age, now rusticating in Washington, the editor of The Freeman is an effeminate tenderfoot. IS THE NATION FAITHFUL TO DUTY? The defeat of the Crumpacker bill and the Olmstead resolution and the adoption of the Burleigh bill in congress is in effect only giving sanction to the disfranchisement of the 400,000 Afro-Americans in the states of North and South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana. As a matter of course, it was to be expected by the people of the north and south that action would be taken looking into the conduct of the above mentioned states abridging the right of Afro-American citizenship. In all righteous dealing congress and the president should have encouraged such action as a vindication of those claims which all citizens have alike upon the general government. Had President McKinley favored such a course on the part of congress, it seems more than probable that something would have been done helpful of the present condition of the Afro-American. He can even yet annul the Burleigh measure, he can make issue against it upon the ground that its action is illegal and is in conflict with a fundamental law. The growing power and sentiment of this government demand the most scrupulous and uncompromising circumspeCTION in the administration of public duties. And in keeping with the progressive strides of our Christian and national obligations, it becomes those in authority to exercise a more watchful care in guarding the rights of each citizen. No man can carelessly tamper with the powers of government, no man can treat with indifference and contempt the privileges and guarantees of individuals as accorded them by the law. If he acts upon such a venture, posterity and enlightened mankind must reach the conclusion that he was a half-back and a temporizer. But the tend- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1901. nices of the times all point to the fact that the great principles of law and government are being tampered with more as a means of conciliating the strong in their war upon the weak. How in honor men can sacrifice fundamental principles of justice to ambition and ignoble ends is the paramount question before the American people. Our country promises to be the greatest nation on the face of the globe. Let the government take no backward step in its arduous duties to preserve and promote the cause of liberty and justice to the people. A DESPERATE PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF THE SOUTH. While the administration is making a desperate play into the hands of the south, the south in turn is strengthening its solidity against the north. The administration more so than the great thinking people of the north has proven its readiness to concede to the south unreasonable demands. The Macon Telegraph says it is a part of the scheme of the dominant party to reduce our political power to a minimum. This confession is made in face of the fact that robbery of rights and injustice to the Afro-American has been done through his disfranchisement in four southern states. But the south has asked to be let alone and the administration says "Let the south alone in its encroachment upon the liberties of the people." The south has challenged the right of this government to confer the right of suffrage upon citizens to the manor born, and the administration says "Let the south alone." The most criminal assaults, time and again, have been made upon Afro-American soldiers about which nothing has been done and the administration tamely submits to these aggressions, manifestly because these outrages have been made against Afro-Americans. The most unpardonable murders have been perpetrated upon Afro-American officials and the president has with bland complacency, folded his arms upon them. The mob has in reckless defiance of law burnt and killed innocent men and the president has simply smiled. Half-back and unconcerned touching the mighty evils which threaten the safety of the government, he sees no immediate reason to be alarmed and is content, so long as it is known to concern only the Afro-American. To-day the south is pleased and tickled that President William McKinley plays so obsequiously into its hands. It could not be better satisfied and at no time has it enjoyed greater immunity since the days of reconstruction. Villified, slandered and traduced, yet the president shares in the crucifixion of the race as in the olden times of the southern oligarchy. Encouraged by this spirit of toleration on the part of congress and the administration, the south has grown insolent in its demands and now asks the repeal of the suffrage amendments. Already the president smiles acquiescence and signifies his purpose to accept a compromise. That compromise was entered into when the Crumpacker bill and the Olmstead resolution were the measures of discussion in congress. After more than a quarter of a century of toil and sacrifice by the best brain of the republic, the achievements won on the side of freedom and the constitution have been frittered away. Again the south animated with the spirit of Bourbon misrule and antagonism to the growing principles of the declaration of independence strengthens itself in the doctrine of state rights and class legislation. Spurning the sacred demands of national law, it becomes the usurper of unwarranted authority and asks the administration to indorse its action. The indorsement has been given and now imbecile apologists plead the helplessness of the president to redress the wrong that has been done Afro-Americans in the present crisis. But the president is guilty, not only of the sin of omission, but of commission. He has dissuaded the interposition of justice in vindication of the claims of the Afro-American and he has assented to legislation altogether discriminating against the liberty of the black man. Never since the revolution have we lived in just such a period. But the tendency of the nation is onward. The government at Washington still lives and relying upon God and the magnanimity of the American people right and truth must conquer.

Hand it to me, Frederick, I'll sit on the porch and read it to you while you spade up the beds."—A conjurer is naturally supposed to be the cleverest man in company. Sometimes, however, he is only next to the cleverest. One evening a man was performing the old trick of producing eggs from a pocket-handkerchief when he remarked to a little boy in fun, "Say, my boy, your mother can't get eggs without hens, can she?" "Of course she can," replied the boy, "Why, how is that?" asked the conjurer. "She keeps ducks," replied the boy, amid roars of laughter. Delegate Berry. Youngstown, O.—Charles L. Berry was in Chicago recently, the guest of David Manson, formerly of Cleveland. Mr. Berry was on his way to the convention of M. & B. U. of O., which met at Milwaukee, Wis. He was one of the delegates from this city, and corresponding secretary of the union there. He is a worthy young man, well qualified to hold the position in the union. He is also a splendid musician, being a very fine cornetist. He is a member of a local brass band (white).

Iron Mountain, Mich., Jan. 31.—A sensation was created here Wednesday when Ellen Hogan, a novitate in the Emergency hospital, was declared sane by Probate Judge Bergeron and her release from the county jail ordered, where she had been confined since last Saturday night. The arrest was made at the instance of the mother superior, who alleged that she was insane, and when Sheriff Cudlip went to serve the writ, the demand was made that he search the woman, it being claimed that she had concealed $65 belonging to the hospital. The woman was taken to jail, her arrest being kept a secret. She related a harrowing tale to the probate judge of her alleged ill treatment at the hospital. Will Not be a State Affair Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 31.—A great sensation has been created here by the announcement that the government has withdrawn its sanction to the state memorial service which was to have been held on Saturday next in the principal Anglican church of the diocese. The reason given for the government's action is that there is no state church in Canada and that the holding of a state memorial service in Christ church might be regarded as the recognition of the Church of England as the church of the Dominion. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, but it will not be a state affair. Horsewhipped by a Woman St. Joseph, Mich., Jan. 31.—"Skette" Rough, of Buchanan, was yesterday publicly thrashed by Mrs. J. Voorhees in the presence of a large crowd of encouraging witnesses. Rough is the proprietor of a candy and cigar store, but it, is claimed this business is only a cloak for a gambling place at which a number of wage earners have habitually lost their wages. Hertz Is Again Remanded London, Jan. 31.—Sigmund Hertz, of New York, who was arrested shortly after his arrival at Queenstown January 7, charged with forgery, was again remanded in the Bow street police court yesterday. His wife, who had accompanied him across the Atlantic, sailed yesterday for the United States on the steamer Germanic. Mellen Denies the Story. New York, Jan. 31.—President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific Railway Co. denies the truth of the story that lines of that road in Manitoba have been disposed to the government of Manitoba for a consideration.

MARVELOUS MEDIUM Gives the names of dead and living friends tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, and business, and when you wish know, no matter what it is. He can help you spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousand dollars to write all弥和 patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all you doings, in short what is best to do. Her succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. All and see. You will find it lucky he has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thou-sands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can explain to a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited; the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never tails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials, nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder, 470 Gloucester and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All know him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain quest: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

Released by Pe-ru-na---Congressman Howard's Recovery---Congressman Geo. H. White's Case. MRS. EMMA JOURIS D.L.WALLACE MRS. T.W. COLLINS MRS. DE.C.D. POWELL. MRS. M.A. SHARICK LIEUT. CLARICE HUNT. ```markdown ``` La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.—It spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper. The masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are liable. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read "grip." Without intending to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful Grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men, women, children, whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of a terrible monster. Pe-ru-na for Grip. Mrs. Dr. C. D. Powell, President of Epworth League, also President of Loyal Temperance Legion, writes from Chehalis, Wash.: "I have used several remedies in cases of severe colds and la gripple, but none I consider of more value than Peruna."—Mrs. Dr. C. D. Powell. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus. After-Effects of La Gripple. Miss Emma Jouris, President Golden Rod Sewing Circle, writes from 40 Burling street, Chicago, Ill., as follows: "This spring I suffered severely from the after-effects of la gripe. As the doctors did not help me I bought a bottle of Peruna."—Miss Emma Jouris. Congressman Howard's Letter. Fort Payne, Ala. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—"I have taken Peruna now for two weeks and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent. I have also taken it for la gripe and I take pleasure in recommending Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers."—M. W. Howard, Member of Congress. La Grippe Leaves the System in a Deplorable Condition. D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barbers' Union, writes from 15 Western Avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.: THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1901. "Following a severe attack of the grippie I seemed to be affected badly all over. seemed to be directed beauty all over. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. Now my head is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me."—L.D. Wallace. Grip Causes Deafness. Mrs. M. A. Sharick, chaplain G. A. R. Woman's Relief Corps, writes from Fremont, Wash.: "When la gippe was the prevailing illness in this Western country I was laid up the whole winter, I partially lost my hearing, and had a very bad case of catarrh of the head and throat. "I read of Peruna, tried it and had my hearing restored and catarrh cured. I cannot speak too well of Peruna."—Mrs. M. A. Sharick. La Grippe Cured in Its First Stage. Lieutenant Clarice Hunt, of the Salt Lake City Barracks of the Salvation Army, writes from Ogden, Utah: "Two months ago I was suffering with so severe cold that I could hardly speak. "Our captain advised me to try Peruna, and procured a bottle for me, and truly it worked wonders. Within two weeks I was entirely well."—Clarice Hunt. Congressman White's Letter. Tarboro, N. C. Gentlemen—"I am more than satisfied with Peruna and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy." Geo. H. White, Member of Congress. Remained in Feeble Health After Cured of La Grippe. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer Independent Order of Good Templars, of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. Peruna cured me."—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Address The Peruna Medicine. Co., of Columbus, O., for a free book on catarrh. CURRENT TOPICS.

An American bank has been organized in Rotterdam, Holland. Great Britain is shipping firewood from Victoria, Australia, for the use of her troops in China. One authority on botany estimates that over 50,000 species of plants are now known and classified. The golden eagle has great strength. It lifts and carries off with ease a weight of 80 pounds. Ten million eight hundred thousand English people live in the country; over 16,000,000 in towns. The Chinese are essentially cotton consumers, the majority of the people dressing in clothes of that fabric. Window plants in Germany are often watered with cold tea or coffee. The effects are said to be beneficial. Palms never live more than 250 years. Ivy has been known to live 450, chestnut 860 oak 1,600 and yew 2,880 years. In Japan poor children have labels with their names and addresses hung around their necks, as a safeguard against being lost. The war in South Africa has doomed the Highland kilt as a fighting dress, and it will now survive as a parade uniform only. The population of Indian in 1891 amounted to 288,000,000; at a very moderate estimate now it may be put down at 300,000,000. The great pipe organ to be used in the temple of music at the Pan-American exposition was built to order at a cost of $15,000. In Devonshire the cycle has been applied to butter making. A man sits on his bicycle, pedals, and, by means of a chain, turns the churn. The first British medal was given to Capt. Wyard, of the Adventure, in 1650 for beating three Dutch ships off Harwich. It was worth £50. The tube of a twelve-inch gun has fifty spiral grooves inside, which cause the shot to revolve seventy-five times per second as it rushes through the air. The crust of the earth under Japan must be comparatively thin, judging by the number of earthquake shocks in that country. They average 500 a year. The Salvation army has received a gold medal at the Paris exposition for its American exhibit, showing its method in reclaiming the fallen and outcast. The marquis of Salisbury keeps about seventy indoor servants, not counting dependents of a higher class, such as private secretaries, librarians and chaplains.

It is an Indo-Chinese Venice. More people live in floating homes on the Menam, "the Nile of Siam," and the many canals than in permanent buildings. In Borneo and Labuan postage stamps to the value of $100,000 were sold last year, though the postage on the mails from those two countries does not exceed $4,000 a year. It is the collectors who buy the stamps. Naturalists say a lion always places its head near the ground when roaring. The beasts probably do so on the principle that the earth, being a conductor of sound, the other lion or animal he is roaring at can not fail to hear him. China has still the old-fashioned system of letter-carrying. Letter shops are to be found in every town. If he has a letter to send, the Chinaman goes to a letter shop and bargains with the keeper thereof. He pays two-thirds of the cost, leaving the receiver to pay the rest on delivery. The locust is one of the greatest pests man has to deal with. He is always hungry and lays waste every place he travels over. Of the 53,000,000 square miles covering the surface of the earth, 40,000,000 are more or less subject to the scourge of this insect with the giant appetite. It requires about four days to make an investigation of the Escurial, the great Spanish palace, there being such a multitude of rooms and apartments. To travel all the halls, chambers, corridors, lengths and depths of the great palace would require a tour amounting to over a hundred miles. The English-speaking people number, at the present time, 116,000,000, while those speaking French total 58,000,000, or exactly half the English-speaking people. A visitor at the Paris exposition lost the use of one eye owing to the calcium flash used by a photographer in taking the man's photograph being of too great volume. All the princes of the Caucasus claim direct descent from King David, according to the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, and some of them base their descent from Noah or the landing of the ark on Ararat, which is nearby. If every man capable of bearing arms were put into the field Britain's army would be 9,900,000, against 11,000,000 Frenchmen, or 12,500,000 Germans.

"When a man has a family of growing children he learns lots of things that, while they may be old, are new to him," said a prominent member of the Produce exchange. "One of my youngsters sprang a riddle on me which runs this way: 'Who was a well-known Biblical character never named in the Bible, whose death was the most peculiar in history, whose shroud is a part of every household, and the cause of whose death was the subject of a widely-read novel?' I'll wager none of you fellows can give me the answer." Not being students of Biblical lore, they all gave it up. "Lot's wife is the character," went on the proud parent. "That's the only name by which she is known in the Bible. She was turned into a pillar of salt, consequently her shroud is in every household. Her death resulted from looking backward, the title of Bellamy's famous book. Rather ingenious, don't you think?"—Philadelphia Record. "Will you be satisfied with love in a cottage?" he asked.

CONSUMPTION YOU'RE WEAK Instead of Strong! Make Yourself a New Man! Dr. GREENE'S NERVURA BLOOD AND NERVE REMEDY. Will Give You the Strength and Vigor of Perfect Manhood. Renews, Vitalizes and Invigorates Weak Men. Old before his time! A broken-down, miserable wreck—weak, nervous, discouraged! The world to him seems a place of mist, peopled with ghostly beings, whose flitting to and fro about their daily tasks serves but to irritate him. He sneers at healthy amusements, and finds no comfort or pleasure in life. He is sick and he does not know it. He drags about, and therefore thinks he is well. He is despondent and peevish, and weak, and he does not know that there are merely signals—some from the stomach crying for aid—others from the nerves beseeching strength—still others from the great life-current—the blood—moaning that it is so impeded and clogged with impurities that it cannot move. He, and all others like him, will find immediate relief in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. This is just what it was intended for. It never fails to make weak men strong and vigorous, puts new life, vim, strength, power and energy into them. Dr. Greene's Nervura is New Life, Hope and Strength for Weak Men. Mr. JOHN D. SMITH, electrician for the Thompson-Houston Electric Co., of Lyme, Mass., says: "When a man has been sick and is cured, it is his duty to tell others about it, that they, too, may get well. Three years ago I had been working almost night and day, could not (at regularly) and got only a few hours at night. No man can stand that long, and I soon began to be prostrated. I could not sleep when I tried, and my food would not stay on my stomach. I was in a terrible condition, and was much alarmed. I went to doctors, but they did me no good. Learning of the wonderful good, done by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try it. It cured me completely of all my complaints. I eat heartily and sleep well, thanks to this splendid medicine. I believe it to be the best remedy in existence." Dr. Greene's Nervura is the One Great Restorative Which Cures. Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St., New York City, is the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. He has remedies for all forms of disease, and offers to give free consultation and advice, personally or by letter. You can tell or write your troubles to Dr. Greene, for all communications are confidential, and letters are answered in plain sealed envelopes. 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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Roberts, at one time living at 246 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote: "Your Lotion has completely cured me of Barber's Itch, after having been treated in vain for over three years by various M. D. s." The above testimony is corroborated by many others who have suffered from virulent cutaneous disease which Palmer's Lotion never fails to cure, and all who have used it gladly recommend it to their friends and speak of it in terms of highest praise. If your druggist don't have it send to Solon Palmer, 374 Pearl Street, New York, for samples of Palmer's Lotion and Lotion Soap.

There Is a Class of People Who are injured by the use of coffee.

"DEAR MADAM: — I am suffering from inflammation of the ovaries and womb, and have been for eighteen months. I have a continual pain and soreness in my back and side. I am only free from pain when lying down, or sitting in an easy chair. When I stand I suffer with severe pain in my side and back. I believe my troubles were caused by over work and lifting some years ago. "Life is a drag to me, and I sometimes feel like giving up ever being a well woman; have become careless and unconcerned about everything. I am in bed now. I have had several doctors, but they did me but little good. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been recommended to me by a friend, and I have made up my mind to give it a fair trial.

PINKHAM:—I feel it my duty to acknowledge to you the benefit that your advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have done for me. "I had been suffering with female troubles for some time, could walk but a short distance, had terrible bearing down pains in lower part of my bowels, backache, and pain in ovary. I used your medicine for four months and was so much better that I could walk three times the distance that I could before. "I am to-day in better health than I have been for more than two years, and I know it is all due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "I recommend your advice and medicine to all women who suffer." —Mrs. S. J. WATSON, Hampton, Va. This is positive proof that Mrs. Pinkham is more competent to advise sick women than any other person.
