How absurd, no consistent reasoner would for a moment believe such an assertion. Sunday was a glorious day at St. James State Capital Historical Room A. M.

Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 26—It is reported from Casper, Wyco, that sales of town lots for the new town, of Shoshone, located at the edge of the Wind River Reservation on the new line of The Chicago & North-Western Railway across the state from Casper, Wyco. Bidding for town lots runs high and a large number have been disposed of within a short time. Buyers evidently figure on the growth of the city here when the Indian Reservation is thrown open to settlement next June. Don't be selfish. Don't live for yourself alone.

The pavement before the door of the church of San Carlo de Borromeo, in Monterey, Mexico, is a curious memoir of the whaling industry of the past. The round, narrow-like objects in the pavement are the vertebrae of whales. This is one of the churches founded by the Spanish missionary fathers in the sixteenth century. A rash experiment was tried by an editor in Kansas. He decided to tell only the unvarnished truth in his journal for one week. He didn't get beyond the first day. This item appeared on Monday: "Married—Miss Sylvia Rhode to James Carnahan, the Baptist Church. The bride is a very town girl who doesn't know any more than a rabbit about cooking, and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The bridegroom is an up-date loafer, has been living off the old farm for a long time, doesn't shucks. They will live a hard life while they live together." The editor is still in the hospital. People Will Drink Coffee When It "Does Such Things." "I began to use Postum because the old kind of coffee had so poisoned my whole system that I was on the point of breaking down, and the doctor warned me that I must quit it. My chief aliment was nervousness and heart trouble. Any unexpected noise would cause me the most painful palpitation, make me tremble, and make me sick. "I had heard of Postum and began to drink it when I left off the old coffee. It began to help me just as soon as the old effects of the other kind of coffee passed away. It did not stimulate me for a while, and then leave me weak and nervous as coffee used to do. Instead of it, it built up my strength and supplied a constant vigor to my system which I can always rebound from. It was the greatest kind of a day's work without getting tired. All the heart trouble, etc., has passed away. "I give it freely to all my children, from the youngest to the oldest, and it keeps them all healthy and hearty." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Read to Wellville," in pks.

In this his hour of greatness let Mr. Christy Matewson remember the fate of Pflug. He, too, was famous once. It is a pertinent suggestion that the automobile horn should be tuned to a musical note. Even the swan song is soothing. A Chicagoan is under arrest in Kansas City charged with "having one wife too many." He might have only one at that. A Russian prince was fined for speeding his automobile in Chicago. It is malicious to say that Chicago is not in Russia. A man has written a large book entitled "What to Have for Breakfast," when it could be all boiled down into one word, food. Oysters are said to be large and plentiful this year, and many churches have voted to use two at each sociable—Boston Globe. Somebody has invented a new field gun which fires 300 shots a minute. Here is another argument in favor of universal peace. Spain probably does not see that there was anything inferior about Dewey's work at Manila, even if he was an elderly officer. A careless newspaper reports that Mr. Taft "is getting thin." What it means, of course, is that the secretary is getting less thick. When an austere man of science declares that kissing is an "unpleasant custom" it is only right that he should tell the world how he knows.

If it had omitted the adjective all the ground would have been covered. Prof. Landsley of Yale deserves the thanks of the country for pointing out that though kissing is practiced less in America than in some other countries, the countries that most do oscate are not much afflicted with consumption. For this relief, professor, much thanks. Every civilized nation will welcome Andrew Carnegie's peace insurance plan, which contemplates an antwar alliance of five nations.

THEY CLAIM IT IS ILLEGAL Say Stamp Clerk Enables Company to Make High Rate—Governor and Auditor to Be Asked to Compel Withdrawal From It. Fort Dodge, Nov. 2.—The city council has adopted resolutions looking toward the dissolution of the local board of fire insurance agents and seeking to establish a basis of local insurance which will permit of competition between agents. Under the present management, all insurance agents of the so-called old line companies present their policies to an appointed agent, who stamps them before forwarding them or returning them to the agent presenting them. In this way, a discrimination or cut rate cannot be made effective for the reason that no policies are stamped or approved by the appointed agent, or that no agent conforms every way conforming to the rules and regulations of the local board. Members of the council harbor the idea that the board is nothing more or less than a pool formed for the purpose of keeping down competition and maintaining a stiff insurance rate. At the regular meeting of the council, resolutions will be made calling upon the governor of the state and the state auditor to forward to the president of each insurance company in the state a form of affidavit requesting them to provide that their insurance companies to compact, or understanding with other companies as to rates on property in Iowa or that they are in any way controlled by any company as to their rates, or that they are in any way violating the statutes of the state. CUMMINS OPPOSES THE MARSHAL LAW Des Moines, Nov. 1.—Cummins is opposed to the state marital law for the enforcement of the Iowa muilt laws. And what is more he told the advocates of the proposed measures of his opposition in an address before the convention at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday morning. Gov. Cummins favors a law giving the governor power to remove county officials for failure to enforce the muilt law, a move advocated by the job security societies of Iowa in their state constitution. "This state enforcement would never do," said Gov. Cummins. "I have been governor of the state of Iowa for four years with power to enforce laws with no more power than an unborn babe. What we need is a power to enforce laws with no more than a thoristhes. There are any number of county attorneys in the state that I would be glad of the power to remove for incompetency and their flagrant disobedience to the laws for control of liquor. The most practical change for the liquor control is to make the officers responsible to some other power than the board of supervisors." FOUND A BODY IN CORN FIELD NEAR ELY Cedar Rapids, Oct. 31.—The body of C. S. Carrier was found in the field of John Krostol, one mile northwest of Ely. Coroner King was notified and brought the body to this city, after learning that Carrier had been employed by a man named George Smith in picking corn for a few hours Friday; that while Smith was gone to a neighbor's for change Carrier broke into the house and was on the lounge when Smith returned home. The later denies there was any row and says he paid Carrier, who left in the direction of Ely. He had come and an apparent homophone from the mouth leads the authorities to think there has been boun play and they have gone to Smith's place again to investigate. Carrier was injured when a boy and had his skull trephined. He has been remarkably successful in the accumulation of property worth $20,000, located near Shellsburg. Last week he began to work from home on Friday morning. For two years he was principal of schools at Hudson, Ia., where he again was injured in the head in a ball game. Fort Madison, Nov. 3.—J. W. Alright, late secretary of the loan and pulid- g association, indicted for the embezzlement of $11,400, was arraigned yesterday and plead not guilty. President A. R. Smith of the association states that an additional shortage on uncancelled mortgages has been land, making the total short- sum $160,000. The directors have filed a petition in the district court asking that a receiver be appointed. Plingham, Oct. 28—Hon. Ed. C. Brown, former member of the Iowa railroad commission, and president of the Sheldon State bank which failed two years ago with a large shortage, was acquitted by a jury here last night on the charge of fraudulent banking. The case went to the jury at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the verdict was returned at 11:22. After the first ballot, it is said, the board eleven to one in favor of acquittal. Des Molques, Oct. 31.—A head on collision between the Rock Island fast meat train, No. 96, eaouthand, and a fast freight, No. 85, westbound, at Casey at 6:15 o'clock last night, caused the death of four trainmen and one passenger. The men buried under tons of debris, and with the wrecked cars burning from fire started by overturned stoves, were all found with their lives crushed out and their faces hardly recognizable. The wreck occurred at the east end of the Casey yards, where the trains met through the mistake of Conductor Reynolds of train No. 85, running as a first section, who had passed the train. The wreck was not traced, and supposed there was no additional section following. The trains met each other going at full speed. The engineers on both trains saw the headlights of the other train bearing down upon them, but owing to the speed which they had attained were unable to stop them in time. The trains could not be heard for miles. The heavy freight cars telescoped each other, crushing their sides into kindling wood and filling the right of way with merchandise, broken rolling stock, and the mangled remains of the victims. The dead are: Rev J. W. Calwell of Van Meter, pastor of Methodist church, and the debris of immigrant car; Bert Shields of Valley Junction, engineer on first section freight, No. 85; G. B. Marshall of Valley Junction, fireman on first section freight, No. 85; B. W. Johns of Valley Junction, brakeman on first section freight, No. 85; B. W. Nelson of Valley Junction, fireman on second section fast meat train. No. 96. Conductor of the train and engineer Lumsen, all of Valley Junction, were seriously injured. Des Moines, Nov. 1.—The complete list of fatalities in the Rock island wreck, made out by officials and given out yesterday, shows that eight met their death in the accident, all but two of whom have been identified. One of the unknown men was so badly traumbased as to be almost beyond recognition, but is thought to be a negro tramp who was stealing a ride on one of the trains, all members of the crew of both trains having been accounted for. W. Hepner, a tramp stealing a ride on the train, was found early yesterday morning under the piled up wreckage. Another body, evidently that of a negro, was found so badly mutilated that it could not be identified. A third body of a tramp is supposed to be still under the train. Traimmember remember three tramps on the train body found. A body was found. Pieces of clothing have been found which indicate that the man met death. Marshalltown, Nov. 2.—A second attempt to poison the two children of Jonathan Foulk, of this city, has been made. Another box of candy, containing poison, has been sent to Mr. Foulk, with request that it be sent on to children in the Orphans' home at Davenport. Authorities are now more determined than ever to solve the mysterious poisoning attempts. It is now believed that the unknown would be murderers may be trying to kill Foulk. The first box of candy was received by the children several weeks ago. Both ate the sweets, and as a result barely escaped death. Authorities took up the case at once, but no arrests followed. The attempt was made early in the week. Dubuque, Oct. 30.—Madly jealous of his wife's affection for Roy Sumner, 22 years old, William Clark, a gambler, shot the young man in the back yesterday afternoon, the bullet going through the body. The shooting occurred in the middle of the Mrs. Clark passenger station, where Mrs. Clark gave gone to bid Sumner a last farewell. They had agreed it would be their last meeting. Sumner was with Clark in the gambling business this summer. Sumner's attentions to Mrs. Clark caused a split and Clark declared that he would kill Sumner and his wife if he found them together again. Clark learned that his wife was at the station and surprised the couple. Mrs. Clark escaped by bumping into Sumner butSumner was hit. He ran about a block when he fell down an embankment into a pool of water. Clark was arrested and clamms that he had given the couple sufficient warning. Codar Rapids, Nov. 2: —James Proston, a wealthy farmer living near Masonville, was instantly killed by an Illinois fast freight train while he was driving to do over a crossing near the Masonville station at noon yesterday. Dubuque, Oct. 31.—The Dubuque county grand jury has adjourned to November 8, after being in session more than three weeks. It is reported that Mayor Berg has been informed that the county office has licensed slot machines contrary to statute. It is also understood that between eighty and ninety saloonkeepers and cigar dealers are indicated for maintaining slot machines. It is said that the grand jury has not yet sent the day, until Thanksgiving day, which will be the longest session in the history of that body. The slot machines have been removed from most of the saloons and cigar stores of the city, pending the result of the investigation. The county has been receiving a handsome revenue from the machines.

Gambers are exceedingly superstitious, and sometimes strangely choose numbers on which to bet. A member of the congregation of the English church at Monte Carlo once used the hymn sung at a morning church to put a big stake on 32 at roulette. It won. Gossip about his "inspiration" led a number of persons the following Sunday to play the number of the last hymn. Again it won. The next Sunday the church could not accommodate the crush of 32 has that last hour, and, as the highest number on the roulette table is 35, and 37 is now the lowest number ever given out in the church. A Teacher's Testimony. Hinton, Ky, Oct. 30th.—(Special.) It has long been calmed that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he made regarding the cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wonderful. I am coming to Dodd's Kidney Pill: that I am now enjoying good health. Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered.

Population of Russia Divided Into Two Hostile Camps. St. Petersburg, Nov. 2—Russia's constitutional era has been ushered in by scenes of violent demonstration by the people. There has been bloodshed in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw, Lodz, Poluva, Dipat, Kisheneff and in a score of other cities. The strike has not ended. St. Petersburg the situation is chilly crowds. All day yesterday crowds swelling until they numbered at one time 200,000 persons surged through the streets, violently excited, singing the "Marselliaise", and carrying red flags. Other crowds, less excited, marched through the streets singing patriotic songs, cheering for the emperor and carrying white flags. Already the populace of the capital is dividing into two hostile camps, the "white" and the "reds." When "reds" meet "white" there are riots and some times bloodshed. The "reds" are numerically of superior force. They include the social democrats, the radicals, many of the strikers and the malcontents who would be satisfied with any pledge of reform the troops would make. The "reds" demand more than the car promised in his usurp. They insist on the immediate liberation if all political prisoners, the removal of General Treepoff, the withdrawal of the troops to a point twenty miles out of the city. The "whites" include the great mass of intelligent citizens who accept the caar's ulusse in good faith and who welcome it as the signal for better times for Russia. All day yesterday the "reds" dominated St. Petersburg. They filled the room from dawn until darkness and they wore in frequent collision with the troops. Case Seemed Hopeless but Vieled to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Kenney has actually escaped from the paralytic's fate to which he has seemed a short time ago hopelessly doomed. The surprising report has been fully verified and some important details secured in a personal interview with the recent sufferer. "The doctor," said Mr. Kenney, "told me that I if wanted to live my length of time I would have to live with my friends that the paralysis which had begun would in time involve my whole body." "Just how were you afflicted at this time?" Mr. Kenney was asked. "Well, I had first hot, and then cold a clammy feeling in my neck, and were being stuck into it. These sensations were followed by terrible pain, and again I would have no feeling at all, but a numbness would come over me, and I would not be able to touch the opening. From headaches and a pain in the spine. "Night after night I could not get my natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of torturing pains and the bleed of the opening, so I had to induce it. As I look back on the terrible suffering I endured during this period I often wonder how I retained my reason through it all. But relief came quickly when I was told to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The very first box seemed to help me, and seven horses made me entirely well. There can be no doubt about the thoroughness of my care, for I have worked steadily ever since and that is the reason. Mr. Kenney is at present employed by the Merrimac Hat Company and resides at 101 Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass. The remedy which he used with such success was given to his guests, or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectad, N.Y.

Sickly, peevish children are a source of endless trouble and anxiety to their parents, yet the children's condition is frequently due to their parents' ignorance or thoughtlessness, or both. To make children healthy and to ensure that condition it is necessary to feed them proper food and to see that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Meat is very bad for children. It should be avoided and food rich in phosphates, such as Pillsbury's Vitos, should be given in its place. This food is truly the "meat of the wheat." It is made by the world's greatest millers and it is free from artificial coloring or adulteration. It is not especially a child's food. Your own milk is better. You sense cense. It makes a wholesome substantial breakfast or an appetizing dessert and can be prepared in one hundred different ways. Every good grocer will supply you with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large package—enough to make twelve pounds of strength-building food lick. Ask your grocer about it to day. Few men reach the top because they find it so much easier to slide than to climb.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one full pound-while all other Cold Water Starch are all up in 3-ounce packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Naturally it was in Youngstown that the two babies robbed a bank.

Witte Becomes Russia's First Premier—Emperor's Abdication of His Autocratic Power is Complte and He Has Yielded to Irrevocable. ST. Petersburg, Oct. 31.—Last night the autocracy of the Romanoffs and the old order of things ceased to exist in Russia. Emperor Nicholas has surrendered and Count Witte comes into power as minister-president, with an imperial mandate which will enable him to convert the faecal national assembly into a real, legislative body elected by greatly extended suffrage and to confer upon the people fundamental civil liberties, including free speech. These welcome tidings reached St. Petersburg shortly before six o'clock last evening. Count Witte had spent the day with the emperor at Petrohof, going over the final draft of the manifesto, to which he insisted that certain minor modifications be made, and before taking the train for St. Petersburg he telephoned to a friend that the emperor had affixed his signature and that the imperial mandate comprising the conditions upon which he had agreed to accept office was in his pocket. These included freedom from taxes, the immunity and the immunity of the person, including the right of habeas corpus. Count Witte insisted on a cabinet on the British model with a premier responsible to the Imperial doxa, or parliament, while the emperor clung to the appointment of the members by the emperor, as chief of state. St. Petersburg, Oct. 31,—"I am sure the American people, who understand what freedom is, and the American press, which voices the wishes of the people, will rejoice with the friendly Russian nation at this moment, when the emperor will grant them from his imperial majesty the promises and the guarantees of freedom, and will join in the hope that the Russian people will wisely aid in the realization of those liberties by co-operation with the government for their peaceful introduction. Only the emperor can fulfil benefits of freedom conferred upon the people." Count Witte, Russia's first premier, last night sent the above message to the American people through the Associated Press. He had just arrive at his residence on Kammenkovros prospect from Peterhof, where in the Alexander palace the emperor two sons have been placed in a manifesto and to a programme which will forever end the rule of absolutism exercised by him and his Romanoff ancestors for 300 years. A simple perusal of the manifesto shows how complete is the emperor's abdication of his autocratic power. The very style of document is clear and plain, with pictures of the very heroic bombastic phraseology which heretofore has characterized his majesty's manifestoes. It not only betrays real authorship, but shows that the emperor at last has irrevocably bowed to the inevitable. He does not even conceal the fact that the discontent and agitation of his subjects have driven him to take the step and practice the inviolability of person, and liberty of conscience, speech and assembly. He not only converts the farcal imperial douma with only consultative power, into an absolute legislative assembly without the assent of which all governmental authorities before which all governmental authorities must answer, but promises eventually universal suffrage. The title "Autocrat of all the Russias," with which the manifesto begins, now takes its place with the emperor of Russia, by the king of Spain and the emperor of Austria, and with other absolute titles of European sovereigns. The news spread like wild fire throughout the city. The revolutionists and active agitators, generally, declared loudly that the emperor would no longer suffer, and that the strike must be continued. In fact, an hour after the news became known, the revolutionists took occasion to throw the first bomb in St. Petersburg used since the strike of 1885. They were the Polytechnic school, but there was no fatality. Practically all classes, except the socialists and the extreme radicals, however, read the document with delight and amazement, declaring that it could not fail to rally theates to the support of Count Witte. MOSCOW IS REBELLIOUS. Spirit of Revolt Rampant in Ancient Capital. Moscow, Oct. 29. At a meeting of delegates representing the different political parties, it has been decided to unite in the establishment of a government of independency of the imperial authorities. The city was in darkness last night. Yesterday the shops, theaters and schools were closed, and the streets are deserted save for the troops and workmen. Several meetings of strikers were dispersed by Cossacks. The police office and the governor general's offices are surrounded by troops. Prices are very high. Water is 20 cents a pail. The utmost airmail prevails owing to rumors that workmen are marching on the town from the factory districts. The electric light works have shut down. The last government spirit shop is closed. Eight banks have closed and the bourse remains closed. The town council has decided to sit permanently. JEW BAITING HAS BEGUN And Hebrews Are Using Bombs in Their Own Defense—Odessa Full of Horrors—It Is Reported Casualties There Will Reach 2,000. London, Nov. 2—Special dispatches to this morning's London newspapers represent the condition of affairs in Russia as being extremely grave, especially in the provinces. St. Petersburg, the dispatch says, remains comparatively quiet. Late last night, the streets of that capital were patched and covered in scenes of ganderness and Coucsan and its further disorders have been reported. According to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mall, the revolutionaries demand the establishment of a republic and, as the result of the demolition of the strong arm of General Joseph Kupcik, has again been invoked. Thus, says the correspondent, brute force and popular sedition are again facing each other. Even the appointment of Grand Duke Michael as military dictator with whom he has been involved, him is discussed in official circles, according to the correspondent, who adds that late last night the revolutionary leaders advised the populace to refrain at present from precipitating a conflict. The correspondent of the Dany Mall at Kieff. in a dispatch dated Nov. 1, save "The governor general has resigned because he was not permitted to prevent the riots. Indescribable scenes occurred last night, when the mob invaded the town hall and tore down the portrait of the emperor. The troops fired ten volleys into the town hall, and the emperor had hundred of the rioters were arrested. During the conflict the troopers were dismounted, thrown to the ground and many of them shot. "It was a lawyer named Rattner who the emperor's portrait from its frame, hacked out the face, put his head through the opening and harangued the mob from the balcony of the town hall. Today a band of workers in owned Rattner's house and tore him to pieces. "Jew batting started at midnight. Strong patrols passed frequently but they looked smilingly on and gave no help. Some hours later, Cossacks arrived but they did nothing to protect the property of the shopkeepers. I saw some police and Cossacks packing part of the plunder. Some of the soldiers were arrested for steal and burnt from every carryin bundles of looted silks and velvets without hindrance. Later on vigilance committees were formed, the members of which stopped suspected persons and made them disgorge their plunder. "At 6 o'clock tonight, notwithstanding a deluge of rain, the looting was resumed. The Jews fired from the balconies of their houses on the troops, and on the processes of joy, and the processus of terror, the coldness and affection of many wealthy Jews were wrecked. The Jews now threaten to massacre the Christians tomorrow." A dispatch to a news agency from Odessa describes that city as having experienced a dreadful day and the defenseless populace being at the mercy of a howling and armed rattle defenseless populace, killing them loyalists and led by disguised police men, and their wretched dupes. The dispatch says: "The Jews made a stout resistance and their successful bravery entailedamentable sacrifices. It is impossible to ascertain the casualties, but rumor puts the number of killed and wounded to more than 400 bombs, which the mobs used wholesale. Not until late at night when the murderous work had gone unchecked for hours were the troops brought, cordons placed around the Jewish quarters and quiet somewhat restored. "A law abiding citizens are incensed with Governor General Kaulbars, who is held to be solely responsible, since the civil governor was deposed yesterday." PROSPECTS BETTER Russia May Soon Settle Down and Become Quiet. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—The prospects of the country quieting down for the present at least, are much brighter. While the revolutionary spirit is abroad, the masses of the reds seem to realize that they have the power to realize that they are afraid to push matters to the point of failure. The students social democrats and strike leaders here in St. Petersburg, finding that they will soon be in the minority, have made a virtue of necessity and have declared the strike off beginning today. The leaders of the railroad men have not yet formally surpassed the number of workers on the Moscow and other lines, and the backbone of the strike seems to be broken. General Treepoff has issued another manifesto informing the people that all the reforms granted by the manifesto cannot be realized immediately, as it will require time to formulate laws and place effect in. The people must be quiet and cooperate with the authorities in maintaining order. RUSSIA'S NEW CABINET. Count Sergius De Witte—Premier. Count Lamsdorf—Minister of foreign affairs.

An adroit but plausible scheme by which it is hoped to prejudice the sale of proprietary medicines is the proposition to prohibit the sale of any remedy which "contains poison" unless each package or bottle is expressly labeled "Poison". Such bills are also well designed to impose upon men who have no familiarity with the subject matter. The pretense of protecting the public health put forth in support of such bills is general. The merest matters, however, he has demanded for a law of this kind it originates with those who have a direct pecuniary interest to serve by destroying the sale of proprietary remedies. Some of the best and most widely used remedies in the world contain some one ingredient which, if taken in sufficient quantities, might be polioseous, and yet the preparation as a whole is not poisonous at all. Opium, for instance, is used in small quantities in many medicines, diarrhea, diarrhea, in toothache drops and in almost all liliments. To require such medicines to be falsely labeled "polison" would be merely a cunning device to alarm the public and thus bring about the destruction of the sale of those remedies, and indirectly to compel people to procure the medicine they want by the more expensive method of consulting a physician and having prescription of it. I is an effort to prevent them from getting cheaply the remedies which they and their fathers before them have used for many years.—Medical exchange.

TO CURE THE GRIP IN ONE DAY ANTI-GRIPINE "THIS MAS NO EQUAL FCS HEADACHE" OPERATIONS AVOIDED Margrite Ryan When a physician tells a woman, suffering from ovarian or womb trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her. Margret Merkley Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetal Compound had saved other women from serious operations I decided to try it, and less than four months I was entirely愈 The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman expressed, "I must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded. Our hospitals are full of women who are there for ovarian or womb operations." To true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Plinkham's operation. The woman had said an operation must be performed. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. The strongest and most grateful women from women who, by taking Lydia E. Plinkham's Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. Margrete Ryan, Treasurer of St. Andrew's English Indianapolis, India, writes of her success as follows: Drew M. Bibbons "I cannot find words to express my thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Garden. I cannot tell you how much I am not yet well unless I had an operation for ovarian and female troubles.

Miss Margret Merkel of 275 83 Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: "Less of strength, extreme nervousness, severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs, leaking down pains and muscle damage, leaving an embarrassment and a medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, and after having an abdominal incision, and after having an only hope, to this I strongly objected to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "To my surprise the ulceration healed, all more strong, vigorous and well; and I cannot express my thanks for what does for me, on women and womb troubles are steadily on the increase among women—and before submitting to an operation every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and before submitting to an operation every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham, Pinkham at Lynda, Mass. for advice. For thirty years Lydia E.
