FREE MSSONRY IN IOWA. In this brief article we cannot give our readers title full history of masonry in general or in Iowa, but only a brief sketch of the great secret order. Free Masenry is the oldest secret society in the world—older than the Christian religion; more ancient than the Holy Crusades or the Roman Empire, says a noted statesman. Masonry is a society whose liberal principles are founded in the immutable laws of truth and justice. It is the metropolitan order of the ages and cosmopolitan order of the world—as broad as the canopy of heaven and as wide as civilization. Neither storms, pestilence, famines, wars or riots disturb it. She is based upon the eternal rock of truth and justice, cemented together by brotherly love and charity, with the Holy Bible.

This unique town of colored people gave a Fourth of July celebration last Saturday which was without doubt the largest Negro celebration in the state on that day. On account of a previous engagement of the famous Buxton Cornet band the K. P. band of Oskaloosa, under the direction of Prof. A. L. Barnhouse, furnished the music for the occasion, having been secured at the handsome figure of $150 for the day. The speaking took place in Jackson park, east of town, and was listened to by thousands from Buxton, Oskaloosa, Des Molines and Muchlinock. Mr. Edward A. Carter, who recently graduated from the State University, acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. C. H. Mendenhall of Buxton was chaplain of the day, and Rev. S. M. Smoothes of Davenport read an excellent paper on "The Origin and Progress of Our Nation." C Miss Eva Bates of Buxton, who graduated from the Oskaloosa high school last month, delivered a scholarly oration on the signing of the Declaration of Independence. After the speaking there were sports of various kinds, consisting of live bird shooting, clay bird shooting, target shooting, sack races, grease pig races, etc. In the evening...over a thousand dollars' worth of fireworks were displayed. Clever Female Politician. Miss J. N. Strong, private secretary to ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas, is credited with being the clearest female politician ever seen in Washington. She is conversant with every county in Texas, knows every man of prominence in the state and attends to nearly all details of federal patronage there. It is related of her that she once went to see a cabinet officer in regard to a place for a Texas constituent. The official was not disposed to give the place to her applicant, but in a pleasant and courteous manner said: "I am sorry to disappoint you after looking into such pretty brown eyes." "It seems to me then," was the quick answer, "that the ayes ought to have it." The cabinet officer was so pleased with the retort that he made the appointment.

THREE ARRESTS FOR A DEATH Manager of Amusement Company and Two Others Taken into Custody at Ft. Dodge—Pathetic Story Told. Ft. Dodge, July 8—Developments that have at the town arq were robbed this morning when Leon De Etta, Mille De Etta and J. F. Mangles were placed under arrest by Sheriff Oleson, being charged with man-slaughter. It is alleged through investigations made by County Attorney C. H. Hackett, July 10, that the fatal death of 16-year-old Gloria Rassmuson, stage named Fox, who took the national "leap for life" from the very top of Webster county's new court house in sight of 100 people who died in the fatal jump now threatens to result in the death of another person, it being announced by Dr. Evans, who is in charge of William H. Wheeler, that his patient, who was stuck by the falling girl, could not Clara Rassmussen had never before so much as sung a song before the public. She was a quiet, 16-year-old girl, almost alone in the world and thrown upon her by her parents. She was persuaded into leaving her home in Omaha and going out with the company. Even then, it is said, she did not contemplate doing more than to sing from a stage. The perilous leap she took was a test of her courage, that she could not make it on independence day. The girl's brother has taken the body home for burial. Feeling against the De Ettas in FL. Dodge is very high, although there is no talk of violence. Hardly an hour after the girls death the crowd rushed to the ladder on a swinging ladder in the park laughing and bantering the crowd that watched them. DEADLY SHAM BATTLE. Five Persons Wounded at Waucoma White Witching, Mingle Bottle While watching Mimic battle, Waucoma, July 7. The real battle of Manila bay was less sanguinary than was the mimic affair given on a lake near this place on Saturday evening. As a fitting finale to the celebration of the day in this patriotic little town it was planned to give a realistic imaginary boat to the Spanish fleet Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet on the morning of May 1, 1898. For this purpose an imaginary Spanish fort had been constructed and the Ameri- can row boats with canvass sides, represent- ing warships. On these boats were a number of men carrying shot- guns and Roman candles and other weapons to be exploded towards the fort. The signal for the battle was given and the work of destruction proceeded in a most picturesque manner and the people were enjoying the spectacle and shouts of approval were mingled with cries of pain, and two or three people in the audience on the land were seen to topple over. It was then discovered that some of the gunners that small shot were not only demolishing the fort but were puncturing the innocent bystanders. Those injured were: Miss Quinn, load of buckshot striking her in the breast; Mrs. Robert Scott, slight wound in the neck; Joseph Henry, the left ear; the lepias Henry Logue, struck in the leg by shot; Joe Lynch, part of hand torn off by giant firecracker. Doctors were called as soon as the accidents were discovered and tended dangerously hurt, unless complications should set in. WONDERS OF THE WORLD . Des Moines, July 6.—The menagerie presented for inspection and study this year by the Ringling Brothers is the greatest zoological collection ever brought together. As an important department in the big city, it offers only features of interest and wonder, but recommends itself preeminently as a superior source of study and information. In point of size as well in rare and exclusive features it is beyond comparison with any other menagerie. It possesses so many specimens of rare animal life not to be seen in any other collection that it is the most distinctive menagerie in the world, and will be seen in its entirety when the Ringling Brothers exhibit in the Graffe, now almost extinct; is represented by two beautiful types, a male and a female. The rhinoceros is another feature that cannot be seen with any other show. Explorers say this species of beast has disappeared from America belongs to this remarkable exhibition. It was born January 8, 1803, and now stands no higher than 10 feet. The great beauty of elephant life is as playful as a kitten and is the pride and pet of the great herd of forty elephants in this extraordinary tended organization. Is Victim of Queer Malady. Janeville, July 10—Harry Crawford one of the best known farmers in this county, has taken up his residence here, being rendered unable by illness here, and has been attacked by his mutilated attacker and caused his eyeballs to swell from their sockets until the balls burst and the contents escaped, rendering Mr. Crawford entirely blind. He has been fated to a long period of darkness. He requires a companion to lead him about. Rails Laid on Milwaukee. Des Moines, July 10—The new cut-off of the Milwaukee railroad from the south coast plotted so far as laying of the steel. The work-train now cover the entire distance and the line is open for way freight business, but regular trains are not allowed. He will go on the next month and then the regular schedule will be made out. Polk County Man Has Method of Pre- paration New Fruit. Des Moines, July 10. While scientists throughout the country, and especially in Iowa, are trying to discover a means whereby they may preserve uncooked apples from one crop to the next. N.C. H. C. Stewart, who lives seven miles northwest of the city, has solved the mystery. Last season an effort was made under the direction of the State Agricultural college to keep the apples in cold storage, but they polled the test, nowwas, and found that another such short is being made. Without the use of ice or other artificial means the Polk county farmer has discovered the long sought for method of preservation and will be able to preserve apples while he is picking this year's crop. On the dining room table at Mr. Stewart's home is a large dish of the well preserved apples every day and the kitchen is a bustling city. They are the Ben Davis variety and are as solid and rosin skinned as when plucked from the twig of their mother tree last fall. They give me the aroma, which pleases the atmosphere of the home, and their flavor is delicious. The apples were preserved in an earthen cave. Not a few of them as an experiment, but bartered after bartering, and not intact, but all of them. Mr. Stewart had a good crop last fall and placed them in the cave which he has had for several years, but had never before eaten. This cave contains apples. This cave which preserved the fruit is dug six feet deep in the ground and the sides walled up with brick. A roof is placed over it and that and the walls are covered with this. This was originally built for a cyclone cellar and has been used as a storehouse for potatoes, vegetables and even milk has been kept sweet there. Apple trees are planted in apple trees and last fall decided to try storing his crop, which was large. The fruit is now coming out in excellent shape. There is not a spot on it and some which had previously been eaten with the fruit, same condition as when picked. They have decayed none whatever. There is now no symptom of their spoiling and the supply being large the farmer will have apples to eat during the coming week. The crop will repeat the experiment. Fruit last fall was in exceptionally god condition, as the heavy rains did away with the worms which generally hinder its progress. Such will also be avoided the crop will be as good as has been averaged in this state during the past years. PRESIDENT FOR TABOR. Prof. Geo. N. Ellis of Michigan Is Choice of Trustees. Council Bluffs, July 8.—The trustees of Tabor College met here and elected a president to take the place of Dr. John Gordon, who resigned to accept the presidency of Howard Uni verity of Washington, D. C. There were a large number of apples grown in the position but Prof. Geo. N. Ellis of Olivet College, Michigan, was finally named unanimously. He has been connected with that college for twenty years and comes highly recommended. He found it necessary to elect a new member to their body and on the recommendation of Congressman Hepburn of Clarinda, Senator W. B. Allison was unanimously chosen. Congressman Hepburn and his wife was also a member of the board, were chosen to notify the senator of his new honor. Onawa, July 8—Mrs. Elise Andrews, who already has a suit against O'Connor & Son, saloon-keepers of Onawa, for $,000, by her attorneys, J. A. Pritchard and W. D. Brown, fled three suits of a similar character as follows: one against the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company for $,000; one against William Wise, John Arends and R. Edwards for $,000, and one for $,800 for the bondman, the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company. S. W. and rews was a shoemaker of Onawa and his wife alleges that the above parties have been accused of伤害 by which he has been injured and prevented from earning a living and supporting his family. THE LEGAL STATUS OF FEES Attorney General Will Be Asked to Hendrief Important Denomination Do Moinho will be asked by the state general Manager will be asked by the state executive council to render an opinion on the legal status of the fee question in the office of the auditor of state, anent the disclosures concerning excessive charges made for examinations, and anent the last administration, and to advise as to the course that should be pursued with reference thereto. The council now has possession of a statement of the fees which the companies claim for examination, the examination which no record counts in the office of the state auditor, and the council is in doubt as to what should be done. It is probable that some form of suit will be brought that will allow the courts to dispose of it. HALF AN APPLE CROP IN IOWA Small Fruit Has Been Generally Good in the State This Year.

Marshalltown, July 9—At the regular monthly meeting of the school board Superintendent William I. Crane made a report on certain statements published from the report of the recent investigation made by Dr. Hoffman. He stated that certain statements made by Dr. Hoffman were incorrect according to the school records. The attorney was appointed to investigate the sanitary conditions in the various schools. Suspiрindentent Crane, who has been investigating the matter in the report, said that the report of Dr. Hoffman as published in the newspaper, "The Crane," had been 167 pupils between the ages of 14 and 18 years out of school on account of the fever, was incorrect. Mr. Crane's report showed that there had been 167 pupils sick, whose ages were 14 and 18 years. His manser statement, he claimed, led the public to believe that a large per cent of the pupils sick were from the high school building, while this was only true of a small proportion. He further stated that the water tank in the high school building was so worded that the inference was drawn that water was being used from it. The truth of the matter was, so he claims, that the water was used until the sickness had subsided, his authority being the statement of Janitor J. G. Carter. A committee, appointed from the members of the board, will make a thorough inspection of the condition of the various buildings and report with recommendations. MURDER IN POKER GAME Enoch Burrell Kills Frank Thompson For 30 Cents. Lamont, July 9—The quiet little reunion grounds at Davis City, a small inland town seven miles east of each, has just witnessed a murder scene in which Burrell killed Frank Thompson with a blow from his fat. A report comes that these two men with others, had been playing poker in the park across the street, that Thompson had been losing and owed Burrell 30 cents. As the other men arose to go home Burrell asked if they would help him that 30 cents, and Thompson replied, "When you are big enough to take it," whereupon Burrell hit him a terrific blow, and then another, in the temple which killed him instantly. Burrell fearing rough treatment at the hands of Thompson's friends, immediately took his departure, going with his father to the home. The son was sent at once to the sheriff, who started after the murderer and placed him in jail at Leon. While trouble over 30 cents was the main cause of the tragedy, there had previously been bad feeling be tween these two men. About one year ago they had a fight, when Thompson proved the better man, weighing nearly 200 pounds. Burrell is a small man, weighing 145 pounds, and is 28 years old.

POPE LEO XIII LIFE OF POPE IS EBBING AWAY ALL HOPE HAS DISAPPEARED Operation Performed for the Removal of the Liquor from the 'Pleura-Revives Temporarily, But Strength Is Fast Failing. Rome, July 6.—Rumors and reports of more or less foundation in fact regarding the failing health of the pope seem to have been replaced by a definite conviction among the physicians of His Holiness and also among the higher Vatican circles that Leo XIII probably has not much longer to live. The Publishers' Press correspondent after the most searching interviews possible under the circumstances is able to state that the pope has slept hardly a moment during the past 38 hours, is weaker than he has been at any time since his health began to perceptibly fail and is the subject of the greatest shaken to his physicians and almost hysterical fear to his immediate entourage. In spite of his recent increased weakness His Holiness in direct violation of the warnings of Dr. Lappon, left his bed for the purpose of receiving a deputation of Hungarian pilots to the Hungarian Catholics, the pope seceded indubitably more peeked and feeble than at any time recently during the many audiences he has granted. His appearance did not belle his greatly weakened condition and after the audience it became plain that the effort to revive the faintness of the afternoon he fainted and had to be revived with stimulants by Dr. Lappon, who after the fainting spell, hastily called in the aid of Dr. Mazon, one of the best known practitioners in Rome. Rome, July 9.—1:15 a. m.—The life of Pope Leo continues to hang by a thread with the expectation that any mission may bring the final catastrophe. Throughout yesterday the reports from the sick room alternated with fears and hopes. At times rumors of the gravest character gained currency, out of the mass of contradictory reports, the news of Pope's actual conditions are indicated in the bulletins issued at 9:46 yesterday morning and at 8:15 last evening, bearing the signatures of the two attending physicians. The early bulletin was written in technical language. During the night he had secured but little refreshing sleep, and with this sleeplessness was augmented depression. The difficulty in breathing had increased, and a derangement of the kidneys began to occur. In fact. These complications were, fully and frankly stated by the doctors. Tneir official bulletin was supplemented in the course of personal conversation in which they showed that they entertained scarcely any hopes of winning the statements, setting forth the remarkable constitutional strength and indomitable energy of the patient as the most striking evidence of his almost superhuman will. They inoculated him, bed during the morning and taking several steps, unnaided save by a cane, to an armchair. When this became known many were disposed to criticise the doctors for permitting such an exhausting effort to treat the fire absence of fever, the temperature being even below normal, eliminated the danger of syncope from this exertion. Moreover, the attending physicians recognized that they were battled with a man of iron will, who does not the meaning of restraint. Rome, July 10—The condition of Pope Leo at times yesterday morning seemed so favorable that the hopeful Dr. Mazoni and the more conservative Lapponi united in expressing the belief that Pope Leo had the prospect of recovery, but within a few brighter prospects disappeared before the most alarming conclusions reached after the lengthy consultation of the doctors. The earlier hopes had been that the pontiff's outward evidence of vigor would able to rise, walk and command all his faculties but the later consultation disclosed that these outward evidences of strength were entirely deceptive, and that the pontiff in the gradual internal progress of the insidious disease. The mere fact of the consultation in itself, gave rise to the gloomiest of the foreboding. The enginethAueH forebodings. Indeed, that the first actual consultation, as the previous frequent meetings of the doctors were not regarded a formal consultations. Yesterday, however, Dr. Rossoni, the distinguished specialist of the Baccelli school, was called into a consultation lasting two weeks after the patient's case was minutely gone over. The conclusions announced in the 7:00 o'clock bulletin showed that liquid is again rapidly gathering in the pleural space, and that the pope's condition is very grave. Following the issuance of this bulletin, the doctors freely expressed their personal convictions regarding the extreme gravity of the case. Dr. Lapponi said, without qualification, that the patient's condition was severe and he expect a final collapse tonight, but rather a gradual shaking until the end came. HISTORY OF ILLNESS. Statement Published in Defense of Doctors of the Pope. . . . "On Friday, Dr. Lapponi examined the pope and found pulmonary inflammation in the right of the thorax before he informed Cardinal Rampolla and began the treatment which he thought right on Saturday. During the day the inflammation spread. Dr. Lapponi, worried desired to have Pope John Paul II operation in 1899, has visited the pontif occasionally, replacing Dr. Lapponi during his illness with appendicitis. Today, Dr. Mazonji went to the vatican and examined the patient with Dr. Lapponi, confirmed the latter's diagnosis, viz: an inflammatory process in the lung, which was defined in the medical bulletin as pulmonary inflammation. The treatment was continued, consisting of supporting the strength of the heart and general condition of the patient. Noticeable change was observed until Monday evening. It was found that the lowest part of the right thorax, which previously was pervious to respiration, had become impervious, affecting the function of the lung. The presence of liquid was suspected. The presence of an agitated and sleepless night. "On Tuesday many symptoms confirmed the presence of the liquid. Its increase was considered to account for several general condition growing worse. After a hundred grammies of bloody liquid was extracted. The condition of the patient improved immediately. The amelioration in the condition of the patient was continued during Tuesday.

Washington, July 10.—The president has decided that the matter of the Jewish petition must be finally disposed before any further effort is made to the Manchurian situation. Therefore, it is now said that nothing is likely to be done in regard to Manchuria until next Sept., by which time, according to the last Russian engagement, the evacuation of Manchuria by Russian troops, will be completed. It is understood that the Russian government has set up as one reason for not sanctioning the opening of new ports in Manchuria, the necessity of allowing her first to complete the evacuation of Manchuria, and at the reasonning is rather unsatisfactory on the point. It is believed that our government is willing to wait until September before making the next move.

It was open in the front, and had close sleeves extend: Ing to tho wirst. ‘Thelr lower gar ‘ments consisted of, loos pantaloons, called by the Irlsh brigis, and by the Romans brages and bracae; it ts from this we derive the modern term “breeches.” Over thelr shoulders was thrown the mantle of cloak, called by tho Romans sagum, from the Coltle word sale, a skin or hide, and from this we can trace the modern word “suck” oF “sacque;” the latter belng merely a French version, Diodorus ‘says these cloake wore nearly always black oF blue, but the predominating color in the ‘checkered trousers and the tunle was red. ‘The head covering usually consisted of a conleal cap, which derived its name from the “cab,” or hut of the Briton, owing to a simllarity of shape. On thetrefeet wore shoes made of raw cowhide that had the hair turned out ‘ward and which reached only to the ankles, Odd as It may seom, suck shoes were worn in Ireland within re cent few years.

Mr. Shaw connot talk business & minute without having both hands plunged deep Into his trousers pockets, ‘Some of Mr. Shaw's friends objected to the painting, because they sald the attitude was not dignifed enough for a Secretary of tho Treasury: They sald he should have at least one hand out of his pockets, Mr. Shaw listened to their objections until he got tired, Then he declared himself. “Well, gentlemen,” ho sald, with great decision, “my hands are in my own pockets, anyway.” ‘That ended It—Boston Bost.

A few weeks ago the Associ- ated Press dispatch angounced the death of Hon. James H. Hill of Mississippi, who was a mem- ber of the National Republican Central committee from his state. Mr. Hill was a strong political factor in Mississippi for, more than 20 years, He was tall and well proportioned, a fine speciman of man. With hie death only one other prominent man of his day remains, and that one is Hon. John R. Lynch, who ,is now U. S, paymaster inthe army. We are sorry to_lose such-seful dead- ers at this stage of our life. OUR NATAL DAY. It is.an inevetable fact that all ‘nations, countries and ipstecipal ties will observe some day in the calender year that mark their begininig; such is the ease in this republic of the United States. "The signing of the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776, marks our natal day, the begin- ing of a new nation, the berth of a new republic, free and inde- pendent of any foreign powers. ‘The little band of continential army under the leadership of the father of our country, George Washington, made it possible for us to enjoy the present rich “fruit of his labor. Thus each succeed- ing 4th of July since 76 the loyal free American citizens, and even those who were nob considered citizons, would ‘cease their labor and meet in thevillage, town and city to celebrate the glorious 4th. In76 there were only 13 states and a few thousand people, now we shave 45 states, several terri- tories and hundreds of islands who assist us in unfurling the old flag and hoisting the banner of freedom, liberty and happiness. ‘While there are some serious er- rors tobe corrected, many wrongs |to be righted, we hope that cach 4th will bring all people to real ize the full meaning of the Dec Jaration of Independence, and ‘what freedom, liberty and happi aie aaa LYNCHING. ‘The recent lynching in Bellvue, TiL,, aud the more recent burning of George White of Wilmington, Del., for the attempted criminal and murder of Mise Bishop, has opened aniew the discussion of the race problem and how to prevent lynching. In fact there has been so much already said, both through the public. press and through orators on’platform that we need say but little here: Lynching is wrong, eternally wrong, and’ has been ever since James Lynch, mayor of Galway, Ireland, hanged his own son out of the window for defrauding and Killing strangers without martial of common law, so the records of 1493 show; however be it as it may, lynching and parties who perticipate in them committ a worse crime than the criminal: Lynching is acrime against man, against our laws, against civili- zation, It is a crime against God. It inaugurates the rule of anarchy and abrogate the majesty fs the law.’ If lynching is con- tinued longer it may involve this lan into another great struggle. ‘While we condemn lynching in any case, but we condemn the wretched villian in human form who would seek to rob womau- ood and accomplish their feind- ish deed. ‘There is no legal punishment too severe for them, and we colored people must, and do condemn any petson—white or biack—let law and justice have its course. Out-race is going aie deere ‘We must ‘speak or act hastily, Do and act right in all things; prove our- selves to be good citizens, bonest and.trae, and we will ultimately win, for right will not be tramp!- edut—patience and persevance will win, —— KIMBALL PIANO CO.

"Gratitude compels me to acknowledge the great merit of your Vegetable Compound with irregular and painful fourness, with irregular and painful instimation, also dizziness, pains in the back and lower limbs, and stifle sleep. I dreaded the time to come which would only mean suffering to me. Six bottles of Vegetable Compound, my Vegetable Compound brought me health and happiness in a few short months, and was worth more than months under the doctor's care, which really did not benefit me at all.

The Most Wonderful Curative of All Time For Torturing, Disfiguring Skin Humours And Purest and Sweetest of Toilet Emollients. Cuticula Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for torturing, disgusting humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing preceded by a hot bath with Cuticula Soap, and followed in the sever cases, by a dose of Cuticula Resolvent, is often sufficient to afford immature relief in the most severe cases, by scaly humours, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and children, cleaning, soothing and healing scars, scalding moons, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp and hair. --- Iowa Farms 64 For Aore Sole, believes it may still paid.

Recently, an American traveling in Russia, who had neglected to provide himself with a passport, when he arrived at the borders of the Czar's domains, was held up by an official with a demand for his passport. For an instant the American was stumped, but, so the story goes, he quickly took his inside pocket he pulled out his life-insurance policy and handed it to the Russian. The later gravely looked the paper over, carefully scrutinizing the imposing looking seal on the passport and with a satisfied air, he handed back the paper, and the American passed on. The story is told of a kindly Massachusetts man who chanced in a restaurant in one of the frontier towns, where he met a waiter armed with a sorrowful towel tied about his waist, a dented tin tray, and a couple of guns. The Easterner looked him over in a gentle way, and asked him if he had any breakfast food. "I guess yes," the waiter replied. "Ham and eggs, fried sausage, chuck steak, spare ribs, mutton chops, corned-beef hush, hog and hominy, light bread, heavy bread, toast bread, apple butter, peach butter, cow butter, cottage cheese, potato salad, make fast food? Well, that's our winner. Name your grub." Frederick the Third of Prussia, who delighted in his reputation as the most laconic man in Europe, one met a Hungarian magnate, taking the time to acquire the quirred fame for abruptness of speech. This tempted the Prussian monarch to meet him and try him in the arts of brevity. The magnate was pointed out to Frederick as he stood in the room of his master, taking the initiative to him, and the following conversation was the result: Frederick—Bathing? Hungarian—Drinking. Frederick—Officer? Hungarian—Magnate. Frederick—So! Hungarian (taking the initiative)—Detective? Frederick—King! Hungarian—Congratulations!

WON Every physician of large practice attend women who imagined that they WOMEN Every physician of large practice has had the experience of being called on to attend women who imagined that they were in the last stages of some dire female malady, when upon examination the fact was revealed that obstructed physiology of the stomach or bowels was the whole cause of the trouble. The physician, however, who has not had experience may fall into the error of diagnosing grave disease of the female system when they do not exist, because disorders of the bowels may be neglected until they give many of the appearances of female disease. The bowels have been known to become so clegged with hardened contents as to produce a condition closely resembling uterine displacement, uterine prolapse (falling of the womb) and the sick headache which is often attributed to female diseases is most often actually due to some trouble in the digestive machinery involving the liver, stomach, bowels or the great "Solar Plexus," which is the central telegraph station from which nervous messages are transmitted to and from all the organs in the abdominal cavity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin quickly corrects the congested conditions referred to above, headache, constipation, sallow complexions disappear and the glow of health is upon you. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has done more to relieve suffering women than any preparation ever sold in the same length of time it has been sold—about ten years.
