KM Illd the Ulterior of the
Mliliriiy on Monday Muht.
What has been accomplished during the
l t twenty-four hours toward the removal
of the exposition exhibits Is amazing. Ex
hibits that It required weeks to Install have
disappeared as though they had been spirited
away by some magic Influence. Already
on the doors of
huge barren spaces appear
the 'big ' buildings and clsowhcro hugo cases
of material are packed and ready for ship
ment. When the mallcarriers raado tholr
rounds yesterday scores of tholr customers
could not bo found. They had gone , taking
away all their luggage and the letters were
returned to the office. While It will require
aomo tlmo ( o dispose of some of the heavier
* nd bulkier articles the bulk of the ex
hibits will bo entirely cleaned out before the
* nd of the week. The exhibitors will re
ceive their medals and diplomas and hun
dreds of them will be out of the city.
The few hundred people- who visited the
exposition grounds yesterday morning had to
look twice to convince themselves that they
bad reached the right place. Much that was
familiar had disappeared and orderly activity
had been succeeded by silence. The glamour
had departed and evidences of dissolution
wcro everywhere apparent. The remains of
the revelry of the night before stre\vc < l the
streets with debris until they looked as
though they had been the scene of a gen
eral dot. Bottles , broken glasses , strips of
toard and bunting , hundreds of signs that
had been snatched from concessions and res
taurants and other selected brlc-a-brao wcro
scattered In profusion. Hero and there a
hat , battered and mud-stained , remained as
evidence that the owner had participated In
the carnival of the night before. On the
West Midway a woman's headgear of the
newest autumn style was perched on the
pinnacle of a pagoda as a conclusive Indica
tion that it was not exclusively a masculine
function. The story of the midnight gayety
was repeated In a thousand Inanimate ob
jects that suggested the "hot time" of the
preceding hours.
On the Midway the Indications ot revelry
were especially conspicuous. Concessions
wcro minus everything that was movable or
could be torn away. Expensive signs were
scattered In splinters along the street nnd
handsome medallions and panels that had
ndorned the more pretentious structures
were shattered and destroyed. Some of the
smaller buildings looked aa It they had been
through a cyclone and all were closed and
deserted.
Came to Move the Fair.
In other parts of the grounds the change
was equally striking. Hundreds ot express
wagons were waiting to begin the work ot
carrying away the exhibits and a large pro
portion of the exhibitors were already at
work packing their goods. In Manager Dab-
cock's office there waa a continuous line of
from twenty to fifty people waiting their turn
to secure permits to move. In the other of-
Jlees routine work was going on ns usual ,
the clerks working hard to close up their
accounts and get their books Into shape for
the final balance sheet. No Immediate
changes are likely to bo made In the office
force. It will require some tlmo to get the
business of the big enterprise thoroughly
checked up and straightened out and there
Is a vast amount of routine connected with
closing out the exhibits and concessions that
will require attention. The outside force
has already been materially reduced and
raoro employes will bo dismissed In a day
or two. The Admissions department has re
tained only enough outside men to keep two
gates open one at Twenty-fourth street and
ono at Sherman avenue. The pass gnto at
Manderson street Is also retained , but the
remainder o ( tbo ticket sellers and gate
keepers have been dismissed. Only a lew
of the employes of the Concessions depart
ment remain on the pay roll and the entire
street gang ot the Buildings and Grounds
department had been dropped. The force ol
200 guards will bo reduced to about sixty
tomorrow and other reductions will follow
as rapidly as possible.
The task of packing and shipping the gov
ernment exhibit wv.'j begun bright nnd carl )
this morning. The big traps In the flooi
wcro raised , tackle rigged from the ratten
and the huge cases were lifted from th <
basement ready to bo filled. Secretary GOJ
expects that It will require about three
weeks to pack the entire exhibit and mosi
of the heads ot departments will remain roi
some tlmo to see that the work Is proper ! }
done. Secretary Cox and Major Ward of tni
War department will probably bo the lasi
to leave.
Midway Men May Conic lliu'k.
An agent who purported to represent tin
Individuals who propose to organize a conv
pany to rejuvlnate the exposition for 189 !
visited nearly ail the concessions yesterda ;
and assured the proprietors that the schcmi
was certain to bo a go. He advised then
to leave their affaire lit such shape tha
they could reopen next summer , us the ;
would bo sure to have the opportunity. AI
there Is no big exposition scheduled for nex
year. It promises to bo an oft year wltl
the amusement vendors and most of then
welcome the Idea of another year In Omaha
where they have made bigger profits than a
any exposition since the World's fair.
Out th KxlitMtH.
Within half an hour after the exposition
grounds closed Monday "night several nun
dred men were at work In the big building

hlblts which It required weeks to Install
The work progressed rapidly during th

The Nebraska exhibit was nil donated to

In the Machinery building fully half of
the exhibits were packed nnd ready for ship

Complete chaos reigns In the Agriculture

of shenf crnln. Yesterday this was scat
tered about the floor , littering , the building
from ona end to tbo other. Moat of the
small stuff and the bottles of grain have
been packed and will go out as rapidly as
teams can bo secured to do the hauling.
The Government building was closed to nil
callers and admission Is secured only by
permit. Inside nearly 100 men were en-
; aged In packing tha exhibits , most of which
lave to bo handled with great care. The

greater portion of them belong to local ex-
ilbltors , who will simply transfer them
rom the grounds to their respective places

Over in the Art building little ; progress
vos made In getting the exhibits ready for
hlpmcnt , as an auction sale of pictures was
jclng carried on , and this Interfered with
ho work of packing up.
In the Liberal Arts and Mines buildings

tructures on the north side of the lagoon ,
n the latter building the heavy articles
vcro removed from the tables which they
mvo occupied , while the Bmajlcr ones were

ho former building a good deal of care hade

onsequently the work of preparing for re

These cars will bo sent In on the grounds as

MukliiK \otnlilc Donation.
The city of Omaha elands an excellent
ihance of acquiring the Minnesota building
or a park house for Rlvervlow pork.
Whether or not It secures the building will
bo known to a certainty next Thursday ,
vhen the Minnesota commission holds Its
nceting In St. Paul. The building cost thfe
sum of 110,000 and the proposition Is to do-
nnto it to the city of Onlnha , conditioned
.hat it Is located In Rlverview park and
: hcro maintained as a public park house.
Commissioner Field Is strongly In favor ot
.ho plan , as is also Secretary Danforth ol
ho commission. Both of the members have
beem working with their associates on the
commission and say that If the full member
ship Is In attendance the vote will be IS tc
12 In favor of making the donation.
Soon jifter the Minnesota , building -wat
: rected Commissioner Field took the post-
: lon that the houeo should bo given tc
Om ha ns a gift from the state of Minne
sota. Ever since , then ho has clung to thU
opinion and has advocated it both here nn < !
nt home. At the start a large number ol
the memburs of the commission favorcc
selling the house , but both Commissionei
Field nnd Secretary Danforth arguei
against It and showed to the other member !
of the commission the advertising that Mln <
nesota will receive by presenting the build'
Ing to this city. Ono by ono the members
of the commission came over and now then
Is a majority In favor of the donation.
F. C. Austin , a millionaire of Harvey , 111.
has a conditional option upon the Mlnnesoti
building , having offered to pay $1,000 for 1
Just an it stands. His option will not bo li
effect after November 8 and If the bulldlni
U not sold to him prior to that date It wll
go to the city , oven If the commlssloi
should not pass upon the matter at thi
meeting to be held on Thursday.
Commissioner Field contends that It b
fur better for the state to give the MInne
sola building to the city than to sell It fo
the paltry sum of $1,000. He says he know :
of no better way of continuing the friendl ;
relations between Minnesota nnd Omah :
than by the former presenting to the latter
as a gift , the log house that has been E
greatly admired during the last Bummer b ;
both strangers nnd townspeople.

Superintendent Berlin of the Agrlcultun

by the exhibitors who hnvo occupied th <

morning the exhibitors hei'd a meeting ti
the Missouri booth , where and when It wa
decided to buy a gold-headed stick. Presl
dent Stwrott of the Missouri commlssioi
was detailed to purchase the stick and alsi
to make the presentation epecch , both o
which ho did in a manner n\oat satlsfactor ;
to all of the parties concerned In the trnna

prise to Mr. Berlin and was received b ;
him with thanks. Ho said he appreciate !
the gift very much and that he appreciate !
the good will of the exhibitors much mor
than money.
Over at the Horticulture building a num

ono of their number over to the offlco o
Superintendent Taylor to notify him tha
they wcro very much dissatisfied with som
of the detail work that he had been per
forming with reference to the dlsplaccmcn

sponded promptly , but could not remembe
an Instance wherein he had Incurre-d th
displeasure of any ono. Upon reaching th
building he found a group of men engage' '
In holding a spirited conversation. H
heard his name mentioned and at one
pushed his way through the crowd am
asked the cause of the trouble. He wa
Informed that during the last summer h
has been closely watched and as none o

In the future , they had all clubbed to

In the undertaking. With these words Superintendent
porintendent Taylor was presented with
valuable gold watch , a gift from the ex
blbltoru In the building. Mr. Taylor de
clared that ho wau unabfo to express hi

that ho would always remember the las

Superintendent Walker , who bad charge of
the Douglan county horticultural exhibit
from the opening to tbo close of the exposi
tion , In discussing its effect upon fruit rats-
Ing In tbo county , said : "I am satisfied
with the showing that wo made. During
the last five months wo have exhibited n
greater variety of fruit than any of the
states outside of Nebraska. 'VYe have shown
every variety of fruit known to this latitude
and It has equalled that from the Irrigated
regions of the wcat. I think the Douglas
county exhibit will have much to do In thu
way of Increasing the acreage planted to
fruit In this county. The exhibit was care
fully studied , by not only those from abroad ,
but also by our own people , who heretofore
have never gone Into fruit raising. They
were surprised to what an extent the In
dustry can be carried on and next season
hundreds of the fanners will add many trcoa
to their orchards. "
Regarding apples and grapes , Mr. Walker
said : "Wo have furnished the most conclu
sive evidence ofwhat the county can do nnd
In the future I predict that the commis
sion men will look more to encouraging
homo Industry than they have in the past.
The award of the Judge , who gave us n
dozen gold and as many silver medals on
our fruit , shows conclusively that we ralso
not only fine berries , pears and peaches , but
apples and grapes that are world beatecs.
"In my Judgment the exposition has been
worth thousands of dollars to the fruit men
of the county and next year they will find
a market for all of the fruit that they can
raise. The market will not bo entirely local ,
but will include the towns and cities ot all
of the adjoining states. "

night. Before going he said : "Tho exposl-

Some of the wildly hilarious crowd thai
lopulated the Midway early yesterday morn-
ng imccecded In doing some damage to other
eatures than the Midway. One gang of un-
crupulous revelers got Into the Transporta-

relics from the Lincoln car , when they were
discovered and dispersed. As It was they
succeeded In securing a few splinters from
portions of the curiosity , but the damage
was not serious.

ties some Important questions for lumber ,

to the meaning of "dead and down" timber
which the court holds to be moderately In
terpreted nnd Is not to Include live am
healthy trees which may happen to be grow.
Ing In the midst of timber that Is dead 01

because a government representative kncv

AN EXPOSITION NEXT YEAR
Proposition to Repeat the Success of 1808
Meets with Encouragement.
MAY BE CONDUCTED ON A LARGER SCALE
KnthiiMliiNtlc Meeting of Stockholder *
of the I.utc Great I'll I r l'u\orH
tilling A In-rul irlth n
ami Hotter Ono.
The plan to repeat next year , oven upon
a larger scale , the magnificent Transralssls.
slppl and International Exposition that has
just passed Into history was launched nt a
meeting of stockholders of the now dead
exposition company In the city council
chamber last night. About 100 of the stock
holders were In attendance and with com
plete unanimity they placed themselves on
record as being In favor of a repetition of
the great fair.
The wisdom of the well worn saw that
nothing Hitccecds like success was empha
sized at this meeting. There wcro present
in the attendance representatives of the
small stockholders and the big stockholders ,
the humble citizens and tha energetic busi
ness and professional men , whose money
had brought th'o Into enterprise to such a
successful Issue ; there were also present
men , come of considerable means , who had
not had confidence In the exposition when It
was flrat planned. Its , successful Issue In
duced the former class to express them
selves as willing to subscribe as much and
double what they had put iu before ; the
latter paid trlbuto to the magnificent re
sult by promising to make up for their
remlssness In .connection with the coming
nnd second exposition. , .
Feclliip the I'ulillc I'tilwo.
It was not a meeting to secure subscrip
tions , but to secure the ( sentiment of ex
position btockholders regarding a contin
uance ot the exposition next year. The
object was fully attained ; there waa but
one sentiment and that was enthusiastically
In favor of a second exposition. But In
addition to this , promised of some $65,000
cash subscriptions were given and not a
few of those present agreed to double the
amount of etock they have In the present
exposition company. With this the meetIng -
Ing was satisfied. It was decided to let a
committee of ten , to be appointed by the
chair , go over the situation to see If the
grounds can bo secured , to canvass the prob
able subscription list and In fact to examine
thoroughly Into the proposed plan. This
committee Is to report at another meeting
to be held next Friday night In the council
chamber.
The meeting convened shortly after the
city council adjourned Its session and was
called to order by President Blngham of
that body. J. E. Baum was elected chair
man ot the meeting. He In a very few
words explained the object of the meeting
and Immediately called for expressions of
opinion. General Clarkson was the first
to bo called upon.
General Clarkson stated that the second
exposition plan seemed to him entirely feas
ible and practicable. It would be an added
feather In Omaha's cap , for on top of bring
ing an exposition to a successful financial
close , the city Is proposing to do something
that has never been attempted to repeat
an exposition In the succeeding year. There
Is no reason why once , a success the exposl-
; tlon should not again be mode a success , for
It has not been 'attended ' In the past five
months by one-third Of' the people tribu
tary to It. Its A < ? qutles and Us magnificence
swill-bo adverf AJat'y those ; yvho Jiavo at
tended. The plan % on hand. Is In' splendid
condition and can easily be Improved upon ,
Seventy-five per centTot the exhibitors wTll
be glad to return and the places of the othsi
25 per cent can ba filled with finer exhibits ,
As great an attendance will not be required
to make it a financial success as was the
case with the past exposition. The epeaksi
admitted that there are a large number oi
obstacles , such as the possible refusal ol
the government to make another exhibit ,
but ho believed that they can all be mas
tered.
Mr. HoKcwnt < * r' Idem.
Mr. Rosewater was called upon next and
also expressed himself aa confident of suc
cess If the second exposition was properlj
managed. He declared that the exposition
just closed had been begun under adverse
circumstances and conditions nnd its record
has been unsurpassed In the history of ex
positions of the United States. The question
now Is whether this success can bo repeated ,
It is somewhat doubtful It it could bo undci
the same circumstances , but under the ex
isting situation another exposition as cred
itable may bo the result. Above all thlngE
the citizens have gained self-confidence , an
essential factor in all undertakings. One
thing Is absolutely requisite to have a cer
tain amount of money In sight. This time ,
however , not one-quarter of the amount the
present exposition ought to have had when
the exposition was started will bo required ,
Assuming that the grounds as nt present
formed can bo secured , Mr. Ttosswator esti
mated that $50,000 will be needed to main
tain them until tbo opening In tha spring
and $150,000 tnoro to embellish them , replace
damages , advertise and give bonuses for sev-
ernl Important features that cannot otherwise
bo secured.
It cost $2,000 a day to run the late exposi
tion , nnd while this expense may bo cut
down by $500 , Mr. Rosewater thought II
would be safe to estimate that U will be the
same. Therefore ho asserted that the now
company should faavo $500,000 behind It. He
felt confident that that sum would be secured -
cured at the gates and another $100,000 could
be secured for concessions , one-half the
present exposition company realized , wlthoul
charging anything for space.
Mr. Hosowater also pointed out that greal
obstacles must be overcome. Ho had thoughl
i at first , for example , that the probable refusal -
! fusal of the government to put In an exhibit
j would bo an insurmountable obstacle , tut
ho had come to the conclusion that an ex-
1 blblt from Porto llico , Cuba and other ter
ritory recently secured by the United States
would bo as great an attraction. Ho said
that the men who 'had brought the exposi
tion to such a magnificent ending should nol
bo called upon to do the work again , bul
nevertheless offered to do all In his power
to make the proposed exposition as success
ful as the one just closed.
Major Haiiihletoa'M Riicourairenipiit
Major Hambleto'n , secretary of the Illinois
commission , urged that after closing the
most magnificent exposition next to tin
World's Fair over held In the history of the
world , Omaha should make a great effori
to continue It another year. Ho pointed
out , however , that it must not bu held foi
the purpose of making money , but b (
planned on the broad piano of bringing
credit to the west nnd spreading knowl
edge of the resources of the west. The suc
cess of the past summer Indicates success
next year , for there arc twenty or mon
western states which will want to havt
buildings on the ground. He advised thai
the present exposition managers should hi
Invited to have a largo part In the new un <
dertakinp , as the almost Insurmountable ob
Blades they have overcome have market
them as men fitted for the places.
Major Wheeler , secretary of the New Yorl
elate commission , declared that a second ex
position Is a matter that can be proper ! }
and easily financiered and -with the consen
of neighboring cities nnd towns can be mad <
as great a , uuccesa as the post exposition
He felt quite certain that the exhibits woulil
bo much finer , as eastern merchants an
rrr that they did not take advautace ol
thn opportunity that has passed. He , ten ,
declared that less than one-third ot the people
ple living right 'about ' Oniahn bad not at
tended , Ho Insisted that this resulted from
the fact that thfey were too poor to como
and ho urged that If the second exposition
Is n go , arrangements should bo made with
the railroads to decrease the cost ot at
tendance.
John n. Key , the artist connected with
the Illinois commission , spoke from an ar
tist's standpoint and declared that It would
bo cruel to permit the present beautiful
grounds to go to wreck and ruin. He said
that the exposition had become a thing
of really world-wide fame and that Omaha
should by all means preserve It a year
longer , If possible.
C. M. Wllhclm said that he had been In
some doubt about thu advisability ot con
tinuing the exposition , but ho had become
much encouraged after listening to what
had been said and felt that success was
certain If the support of such Htates as Illi
nois and Now York could bo secured ,
AV111 Double IIIK SllhNfrlntlou.
W. B. Taylor said that with the prestlgo
that had been secured as a result of the suc
cess ot the exposition just ended ho behoved
that its scope should bo enlarged that It
should bo transformed from a transmlssis-
tilppl Into a national exposition. H. J. Pen-
fold supported this Idea and to start the
ball rolling announced that he was ready
to double his subscription to the old com
pany.
Joseph Barker stated that he had not
seen his way clear to do anything In the
way of helping the exposition just closed ,
but promised that ho would make up for
his remlsanefa.
Joseph Haydcn and J. L. Brandies each
announced that their firms would subscribe
$5,000. Peter E. Her offered to subscribe a
similar amount nnd Major Wheeler said that
in behalf of himself and his state ho would
take another $5,000. Offerings came In until
a total of some $65,000 had been made. P.
E. Her suggested that $100,000 should 'be '
promised ibeforo adjournment , but this was
not deemed expedient In a preliminary
meeting.
H. J. Penfold suggested that It might
possibly bo difficult to secure a re-lease of
the grounds. 'Mr. ' Her said that Kountzo
nnd Woohsorth had told him they would
give their landst If taxes wcro paid.
Mr. Rosewater said there would bo no
difficulty In securing the consent of the large
land owners , 'but felt that smaller ( property
owners , whd number altogether some hun
dreds , might be unwilling to allow their
land to 'bo ' used again.
It was finally decided to let a committee
Investigate thl-s matter and also see how
largo a subscription could be secured.
Chairman Baum was given power * to select
this committee. It will bo appointed today
and will report at a meeting of the stock
holders to be held Friday night.
Commercial Club Favorable.
The question of continuing the exposition
next year was discussed Informally at the
meeting of the executive committee of the
Commercial club yesterday noon. No action
was taken , but the members expressed
themselves freely In regard to the matter.
It was the general sentiment of all the
members of the committee that a con
tinuation of tbo fair would be both practi
cal and successful. They said that the
plant Is there nnd paid for. The Interiors
of the buildings are In good condition , and
with 'but a small expenditure they may be
mndo an attractive as they have bccrf this
year. The fact that Ihcro Is now nn or
ganization ready to take hold waa admit
ted to bo strongly In favor of the new
venture nnd would emvo both tlmo and
energy.
The members thought that It would not be
necessary to charge for spnco for exhibits
next year , nnd the management could there
fore , by choosing what should be admitted ,
bo nblo to place before the public a much
better show. The railroads have bcon
awakened so that next year's exposition
would get much more and far better assist
ance from this direction.
The sentiment was unanimous that people
want the amusement nnd Instruction such as
only an exposition can afford , and that from
the army of walking advertisements that
have attended during the last five months ,
many more may bo counted on It the thing
Is tried again.
MINING IN THEBLACK HILLS
_
MM M of Iiilcrrnt OlcaiiocI from the
Itlcli Mineral ItenloiiN of
South Dakota.
UBADWOOD , S. D. . Nov. 1. ( Special. )
Hornblende camp Is located about five miles
northwest of Uochford , In Pannlngton county.
The first cold was discovered there a year
ago last Juno by a Swede named August
Obcrg. The camp is four miles wide iind
five miles long. This week Carl Blank of
Dcadwood and H , Donncll , a capitalist ot
Boston , took a bond and lease on the King
of the West group of five claims , owned
by Alex McCall nnd F. M. Caughran , and
has the appearance of being a true fissure.
An open cut has been mndo twenty feet deep
and the material from the surface down as
says from $4 to $18 n ton free milling. The
general average of the ere Is placed at $ C
located In the center of the camp. A ledge
if free milling ore runs 1,000 feet across the
property , which Is eighteen feet wldo and
a ton. The five claims arc bonded for $35-
000. The same men have leased the new
Montczuma twenty-stamp mill at Rochford.
This mill was built a year ago to treat ere
from the Montezuma mine , but there Is lit
igation over the niin ng propo ty and ho mill
has been leased. All contracts for mining
and hauling the ere from the King of the
West group have been let and the first ere
will be stamped the 10th of next month. It
Is estimated that the cntlro expense ot min
ing , hauling and milting will not exceed $3 |
a ton , which will glvo n handsome margin
ono every ton treated. About fifty tons a
clay can bo milled.
A company of capitalists from Chicago
and Detroit have bonded about 1,000 acres
of mining ground commencing on City
Creek in the city limits ot Deadwood nnd
extending for nearly two miles southwest to
Lead City. The property IE owned by several
parties and they have joined In making ono
sale. The company has commenced to ds-
velop the ground. There are both free-
milling gold and copper ore on the property
and each will bo developed very thoroughly.
The copper ledge can be traced for 14,000
feet nnd assays from 3 to 23 per cent
are found. The free-milling proposition Is
equally as good as the Homestakc , the
average value of the ere 'being ' about $4 a
ton. Copper Is found In a great many
places , but only In surface workings. A
smelter Is to be tullt and possibly a stamp-
mill.
The Golden Sands mine Is north of Terry's
peak , at Portland , owned by the Horseshoe
company. The main body ot ore Is 100 feet t
wldo nnd extends the length of two claims. 9
The ere from the ( loldrii Sands claim l v
now too low grade to ship nnd now shoolt
ot ore nro being opened tip In the Burling
ton claim. The vnluo ot the ore Is from
$25 to $50 a ton. About 150 tous of ere are
being shipped every wock to the compinjr'a
chlorlnutlon works At Pfuma. The game
company also owns the Mogul mine , south
of Terry , which produces 100 tons of ere
per day. The Clinton Mining Company bus
a largo mlno went ot the Golden Sands. The
main ere body Is 250 feet wldo nnd two feat
thick and .there nro two other shoots fifty
nnd five feet wide. The ore averages $10 a
ton gold , Fifteen tons a day arc being I
shipped to the D. & U. smelter. I
The new shoot of ere which wns struck
only a short tlmo ngo In the Ben Hur rul HP ,
In Nevada gulch , Is ten feet wldo nnd th
ere runs from $30 to $70 a ton ,
The cynnldo plant recently built nt Spe r-
ilsli by the Spearfish Cyanide company Is
proving to bo a success. The ere Is brought
down from the Metallic Strrak lode , ol
claims nt Ragged Top. The company baa
commenced to enlarge the plant. The ere
averages $10 a ton gold ,
The Dcadwood nnd Delaware Smelting
company will 8002 commence the erection ot
another rcverberatory furnace at the smelter
which will bo the largest over constructed.
It Is to bo used for smelting the concen
trates from the stamp mills , principally thn
Homestake.
Work IB being rushed on the remodeling
of the chlorlnntlon works nt Rapid City
under the supervision of Colonel M. H. Day.
It Is expected that ore will bo treated lu
thirty days.

IN A WOMAN.
Women may write about their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham and
avoid the questions of a male physician.
The questions asked of -woman by a male
physician are embarrassing1 and frequently re
volting1 to a sensitive nature. In consequence
the whole truth is not told ! This makes it dif
ficult for female troubles to be successfully
treated , and is the reason so many women grow
worse rather than better. - '
Mrs. LUCY A. LOUGHER.V of New
Lebanon , Ind. , describes how wretched
she was until she received Mrs. Pink-
ham's help :
DEAR Mns. PINKHAM : I propped myself in a chnir and
wrote to you , and as soon as I commenced to take your Vege
table Compound I began to improve. I had suffered with
severe pains in my hips , baek and head. The doctor said I
had bladder trouble and falling of the womb. I hud spells
when , if I did not sit down , I would fall. I was sleepy all the
time. I was also troubled with leucorrhtea and itching piles.
People thought that my end was near. Had it not been for
Lydia E. PinUham's Vegetable Compound and advice , I would
have been dead and buried long ngo. I hopes that this letter
may bo the means of helping all women who suffer as I did.
Women understand women better than
men can. The whole truth is freely told
to Mrs. Pinkham , and women only see the
letters received by her at Lynn , Mass.
Her advice is freely offeree/ / y
Here is a convincing letter from a
woman in Bethlehem , Pa. :
DEAR Mns. PINKHAM : Words cannot express my
gratitude for the good that your Vegetable Compound
lias done me. I have taken five bottles , and feel bet
ter in every respect. Menses heretofore lasted too
long and were very profuse , and made me very weak.
Your Compound is u , miracle. Uefore writing to you
1 had tried doctor's medicine , but of no avail. I
would not give up your Compound for female com
plaints for all the doctor's medicine in the world.
My friends want to know what makes mo look so
well. I do not hesitate one minute in telling- them
what has brought about this wonderful change.
I cannot hiiig its praises enough. J hope every
one who suffers as I have will give Lydia E. Pinkhnm's
Compound a trial ; and I know that , if taken according to
directions , it will cure. Mrs. EDWIN Euiuo , 413 Church
Street , ISethlehem , Pa.
All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's counsel. \
Female troubles are real troubles , -and niust be treated understand-
ingly. For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been helping women to be strong-
and well , more than a million women have been benefited by it.
