MIDDLE LIFE
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases—Intelligent Women Prepare
for it. Two Relate their Experiences.
The “change of life" is
the most critical period I
of a woman’s existence,
. and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
,, or she is predisposed to
1 apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
—and with a host of ner
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin tlieir
destructive work.
Such warning symp
toms as sense of suffo
cation, hot flashes, head
aches. backaches, dread
of impending evil, timid
ity, sounds in the ears, I
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipa
tion, variable appetite,
jveakness, inquietude,
and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by in
teihgent women wno are vCsnnua
approaching the period
in life -when woman's great change
may be expected.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was prepared to meet the needs
of woman's system at this trying
period of her life. It invigorates and
strengthens the female organism and
builds up the weakened nervous system.
Por special advice regarding this im
portant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,,
and it will be furnished absolutely free
of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham
is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pink
ham, her assistant before her decease,
and for twenty-five years since her
advice has been freely given to sick
women.
Read what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Com
pound did for Mrs. Hyland a Lrs.
Hinkle:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I had been suffering with displacement of
the organs for years and was passing through
the change of life. My abdomen was badly
swollen; my stomach was sore; I had dizzy
spells, sick headaches, and was very nervous.
aa3saaK«BaveeoaeeaaoDaaQt«
•• I wrote you for advice and commenced
treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound as you directed, and I am
happy to say that all those distressing symp
toms left me and I have passed safely through
the change of life, a well woman. 1 ain
recommending your medicine to all my
friends.”—Mrs. Annie E. Q. Hyland, Cliestet
town, Md.
Another Woman’s Case
“ During change of life words cannot e*
press what I suffered. My physician said 1
had a cancerous condition of the fcmal*
organs. One day I read some of the testi
monials of women who had been cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and I decided to try it and to write you for
advice. Your medicine made me a well
woman, and all my bad symptoms soon
disappeared.
“ I advise overy woman at this period of life
to take your medicine and write you for ad
vice.”—Mrs. Lizzie Hinkle, Salem, Ind.
What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and
Mrs. Hinkle it will do for other women
at this time of life.
It has conquered pain, restored
health, and prolonged life in cases that
utterly baffled physicians.

A magazine editor was praising sad
ly William Sharp, recently deceased In
Sicily, who achieved no little fame as
a poet, under the pen name of Fiona
McLeod.
“Sharp,” he said, “wrote melancholy,
dreamy things, but ho was personally
a cherry, vigorous soul. No one liked
a Joke better than he*
"He was one day praising the real
literary talent that humble, uneducat
ed people often show In conversation.
“He said that, In Londonderry one
afternoon, he was seated In a barber
shop when a farmer entered to get his
hair cut.
“The farmer’s locks had an odd,
ragged look, and the barber, after re
garding them soornfully, said:
"‘Who cut your hair last, old man?’
“ ’My wife,’ the farmer answered,
with an awkward smile.
"The barber snorted.
“ ’What did she do It with?’ ho asked.
‘A knife and fork?’ ’’
Necessary Protection.
“Good land. Herbert! What are you put
ting your rubbers on for? You said you
were going to Btay home this evening.”
“So I am. I’m going to sit down and
read this new society novel you've been
raving about."
“But what-"
“Why, I always put my rubbers on
when I expect to wade througli a lot of
slush.’’
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA.
Brushed Scales from Face Like Pow
der—Worse Under Physicians—
Cuticura Works Wonders.
“I suffered with eczema six months.
I had tried three doctors, but did not
get any better. It was on my body
and on my feet so thick that 1 could
hardly put a pin on me without touch
ing eczema. Sly face was covered,
my eyebrows came out, and then It got
In my eye. 1 then went to another
doctor. lie asked me what I was tak
ing for it, and I told him Cuticura. He
said that was a very good thing, but
that he thought my face would be
marked for life. But Cuticura did Its
work, and my face is now Just as clear
ns it ever was. 1 told all my friends
nbout my remarkable cure. I feel so
thankful I want everybody far and
wide to know what Cuticura can do.
It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs.
Emma White, 641 Cherrier Flace, Cam
den, N. J., April 25, 1905.”
Still Another.
From the Philadelphia Press.
"Some people are the worst rubber
necks." Pepprey was growling.
"What’s the matter now7" asked Sap
head.
"Oh, some fellows are never satisfied tOs
know that things are thus or so; they al-'
ways want to know the why and where
fore of It.”
“That’s true! I wonder why it is.”
Worth Knowing
—that Allcock’s are the original and
only genuine porous plasters; all other
so-called porous plasters are Imitations.
Women Use Safety Razor.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
"Well, she’s the pioneer In a new
line of trade for us, certainly she is,"
said the drug store proprietor after
the door closed behind a stunning
brunette. , :
"I never though of It before. The
safety razor should certainly be a god
send, a perfect treasure, to the fair
ones with a tendency to superfluous
hair on the face. Without doubt she
will tell some one else In confidence
and the sale of these razors will go on.
I ought to have given her that razor
for nothing, because she will prove
to be the vanguard of a host of women
customers when she finds how smooth
ly the thing works.
"You know, the feminines are all
afraid of the strop and the shining
steel, and they couldn’t keep an edge
up at all. The safety solves the quea- |
tion. Gee, what a great thought.” j
And the drug man saw himself the
Columbus of a new idea.
According to the drug man It Is a
common thing for women of the mid
dle class to buy lather cups and
brushes and razor strops for their hus
bands. They are accustomed to shop
ping for men and therefore the safety
razors can be bought without any com
ment being passed, or any unfortunate
hazards ventured as to what use the
instrument Is really Intended.
"Formerly, you know," said the
drug proprietor, "It was a mark ol
beauty for a woman to have a falnl
dark line on her upper lip and dowr
her oval cheeks, but that day hai
passed. The main care now Is to get
rid of the hirsute growth without leav
ing any traces. A woman wielding e
flat razor would be a curiosity. A
caseknlfe would be as effective and noi
half as dangerous.
“Secrecy Is the main thing, and thej
hate to go even to a dermatologist foi
removal of the Incipient beard. It li
a family secret, a skeleton In tht
closet.”
FOOD HELPS
In Mnnaicement of it R. R.
Speaking of food a railroad mas
Bays:
“My work puts me out In all kind!
of weather, subject to irregular hour*
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
“For seven years l was constantly
troubled with Indigestion, caused by
eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy,
poorly cooked food, such as are most
accessible to men in my business. Gen
erally each meal or lunch was follow
ed by distressing pains and burnlnt
sensations in my stomach, which de
stroyed my sleep and almost unfitted
me for work. My brain was so muddy
and foggy that It was hard for me t«
discharge my duties properly.
“This lasted till about a year agoi
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and 1
concluded to try it Since then I havi
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every mea!
and sometimes between meals. Wi
railroad men have little chance to pro
pare our food In our cabooses and 1
find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for It ii
ready cooked.
“To make a long story short. Grape
Nuts has made a new man of me. 1
have no more burning distress In my
stomach, nor any other symptom of in
digestion. I can digest anything si
long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brail
works as clearly and accurately as ai
engineer's watch, and my old nervoui
troubles have disappeared entirely.".

| GET RID OF THE GAS
Dr. Williams' Pink Pllla Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable It to
Do Its Work.
When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend tho
walls of the stomach and cause inter
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs, j
These gases have other ill effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
Sashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
iespoudeucy originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enongh to digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva O. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass., says: “I had a weak stomach j
from the time I was a little child, j
Wheuever I took hearty food it would ;
cause terrible faintness, and I would i
Anally vomit what I had eaten. At !
times there would be the most intense j
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days in succession, I would
(tave to lie down most of tho time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spoils wore very
disagreeable, too.
“ My doctor’s medicines gave mo little
relief and it was not until I tried Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills that I found a cure.
Within three weeks a decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, tho pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
tho pills for a few weeks longer I found
that I was altogether free from the
miseries I had so long suffered."

Wasted Sarcasm.
The New York man had business which
detained him a few days In a small town,
and finding himself In need of new Insoles,
he sought the rural shop.
"I wish the buy a pair of Insoles for No.
8 AA. shoes,” he said to the clerk, and flat
tered himself that he had stated his needs
succinctly.
The clerk contemplated him with tho
mild gaze of the provincial, and asked;
“Do you wish to wear them In your
shoes?”
"No," said the New York man with
guarded thoughtfulness, “I was thinking
( of having a filet of sole for my luncheon.”
And when he left the shop the clerk
was still batting his eyes.
