J . Tized, Nezvous Mothers MaKe Unhappy Homes -Their Condition Irritates Both Husband and Children How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Strong and Well. Mrs. CtesterCurtyQ Mrs Cbas. KQrown A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to caro for children; it ruins a child's disposi tion 'and reacts upon herself. The trouble 'between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some fcxnalo weak ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon tho nerves, consequently nlue tenths of the nervous prostration, ner vous despondency, "the blues," sleep lessness, and nervouB irritability of women arise from borne derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying ? Do you feel something like a ball ris ing in your throat and threatening to choke you ; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound ; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy ? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound ; thousands and thou sands of women testify to this fact Mrs. Chester Curry, Leader of tha Ladies' Symphony Orchestra, 42 Sara toga Street, East Boston, Mass., writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For eight years I was troubled with ex tromo nervousness and hysteria, brought on by irregularities. I could neither enjoy life nor sleep nights; I was very irritable, norvou and despondent. " Lydin E. Pinkham's Vep'tnble Compound was recommended and pro ed to bo the only remedy that helped mo. I Imvo daily improved in health until I am now strong and well, and all nervousness has disap peared." Mrs. Charles F. Brown, Vice-President of tho Mothers' Club 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " I dragged through nlno years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and norvou s ness, until it seemed as though I should fly. I then noticed a statement of a woman trou bled as I was, and the wonderful results she derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it. I did so, and at tho end of three months I was a different woman. My nervousness was all gone. I was no longer irritnblo, and my husband fell in love with mo all over again." Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the medicine that holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of female ills, and take no substitute.

A hundred years ago tho eyes of America wore on tho southwest Wo vero oil Tho etlgo of tho war with Spain over tho closing of tho Missis sippi, nnil under orders from Washing ton, Wilkinson, In command of Fort Adams, held solemn conclave with tho Indians who owned tho cast hank of tho big river, nnd by treaty establish ed n sacred postroad through their country. It left NasHvllIo on tho old Buffalo traco, crossed tho Tennessco at Col herl's ferry below tho Mussel shoals, and, striking tho hills hack of the Hlg Dlack, came down to Natchez and on to New OrleaiiB, with a branch to tho Walnut hills. Tho rontl was moro than n military necessity, for so many pirates Infested" tho Mississippi thai merchants returning from New Or leans needod"a safer route home with their money. After It was opened it hecamo all things to the southwest. Methodism went down that wny In the person of Tohlns Gibson; later Lorenzo Dow fol lowed him with tho camp meeting spirit. Old Hickory marched his army down to Natchez over this routo in 1813 and marched it back ngaln next spring. A.nd from that day till nearly our own It has been tho great center of that country's activity. Now tho railroads have come, the settlers have moved down Into tho valleys and opened up poorer roads In tho b'eds of branches and through swampy low lands. But tho Traco is still there upon its ridges, the best road of them all. Everybody's Magazine. Coo aiisfcsfctjwaig Claims Cure for Appendicitis. Dr. Pond of Liverpool, England, has advanced a new theory with defeienco to the-origin of appendicitis nnd other disturbances of the digestive organs. He calls attention to tho fact that such ailments can often be attributed to antlmonlal poisoning, nnd tho source of the antimony taken up by man is said to bo the rubber rings which aro frequently used to close nil sorts of bottles. Dr. Pond has established the fact that such rings consist of almost one third their weight of antimony. Tho antimony Is not only dissolved by the mineral waters containing alkaiis nnd organic acids, but these rubber rings, as dally observation shows, soon be come brittle nnd some of the com pound falls into the contents of tho vessels. Dr. Pond claims to have found that a frequently repeated introduction of antimony can become tho Bource of a series of disturbances of the nutritive nnd digestive system, especially through continued weakening of tho muscles of the stomach and intestines.

Of course, this is only an experi ment, but it shows the wonderful shw plicity of Acetylene Lighting, That very simplicity gave Acetylene v J C""" if r 1 HYT ,( niflw I TFT lir "BhhiM WJrnrJi W 'W: ! I ! I' 1 i fnfi 'if I 11 Jl I ' Licht a setback, at first. It seemed so simhle to turn Calcium Carbide into Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of "tanks" and "Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. Well, the thing to be expected certainly happened 1 About 530 of these "Acetylene Machines" had been invented and sold by people who knew more about Tinware than they did about Gas-making. The "Calcium Carbide" was all right all the time, but 530 of the machines for turning it into Gas were all wrong all the time. So Acetylene Gas "got a bad name," though it is clear enough now that it never deserved it at any time. It was like selling Wood Stoves to burn Hard Coal in, and then blaming the Coal for not burning. Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners of these 530 makes of alleged "Acetylene Machines." But very few accidents occurred from them even in the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance, among, "Generator" Makers. Of course, a gun will go off unexpectedly, now and then, if the trigger he pulled by a person who "didn't know it was loaded." But, that's no fault of the Ammunition is it? Well, finally the Insurance Companies got after these 530 odd makes of "Acetylene Machines" that wouldn't Acctylate, and the Insurance Board made an investigation of all Generators that were submitted to them. Then, out of the 600 odd "Machines" patented, only about 70 were "permitted" by the Insurance Board to be used. Oh, what a howl was there I By "permitted" I mean that tfte Insurance Board was willing that any building should be Insured, with out extra charge, which used any one of these 70 Acetylene Generators it had found safe, and effective, jus as it permitted houses to he piped for City Gas, or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions. Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the hills, if Fire or Ex plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Gener ators they authorize. And, here's a proof of their good judgment. Though there arc now Two Million people using AcctylcncJ.ight in America, there have only bcen7oir Fires from it in one year, against 8865, Fires from' KcroVenc and Gasoline. . There have also been 4691 Fires from Electricity, 1707 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the Sun's rays, But, only our Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in "permitting" only the 70 makes that were above sus picion, out of the 600 experiments that were once on the market. Well, the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lower Prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz., Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite but acts like Magic. Today, Acetylene Light is a full third cheaper than Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power. It is not more than half thejprice of Electric Light, nor three-fourths that of City Gas. If I can't prove ticsc statements to your full satis faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones." But Acetylene is wiorr than the safest and cheapest Light of the year 1905. It is also the Whitest Light the nearest to natural Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars where no ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow twice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun light of day-time, viz., half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in a three months' experiment made this very year. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more im portant to you than all the others about Acetylene Light. It consumes only one-fourth as much of the vital Oxygen fromHhc Air of Living rooms or bed-rooms, as cither Kerosene or City( Gas-Light consumes. That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark you three-fourths of a difference. Because, Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from thejungs of Women, Guldren and Men, through Lighting, is a loss that can never be made good again. A 24 Candlc-Power Acetylene Light costs you only two-fifths of a cent per hour. t That's about $SS per year, i(. burned every night in the year for four steady hours. A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you a third more, viz. : three-fifths of a cent per hour for Kerosene alone, or $8.75 per year. That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of cleaning, filling and trimming daily. I want to prove these figures to you, Reader, if you are a house-owner or storekeeper. Tell me how many rooms you've got and I'll tell you what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful, Sanitary, eye-saving Acetylene. Write me today for my Free Book about "Sunlight on Tap."
