KIDNEY TROUBLES
Cured by Lydia E. Plnkham'
Vegetable Compound,
I cannot speak too highly of Mm
Pinkham's Medicine, for it has done bo
much for me. I have been a great suf
ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in
muscles, joints, back and shoulders:
feet would swell. I also had womb
troubles and leucorrhoea. After using
Lydia E. I'iukham's Vegetable Com
pound, and Wood Purifier and Liver
Fills, I felt like a new woman. My
kidneys are now in perfect condition, i
and all my other troubles are cured. J

Kidney Trouble.
Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, I had suffered
many years with kidney trouble. The
pains in my back and shoulders were
terrible. My menstruation became ir
regular, and I was troubled .with leu
corrhoea. I was growing very weak. I
had been to many physicians but re
ceived no benefit. I began the use of
Mrs. Pinkham's medicine, and the first
bottle relieved the pain in my back
and regulated the menses. It is the
best kind of medicine that I have ever
taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly
and cured the disease. Mrs. Liluas

' A number of years nj;n, alwmt fifteen
I believe, some lucky prospectors "lo
cated" mining claims away up in the
almost inaccessible fortresses of one
of the mountain ranges of the West
anil the phenomenal riches of the 'lead
amply repaid the heavy expense of
the "mule train" that was used to
"pack" the output to the railroad.
Kvcnlually the prosperity of the first
proprietors brought other ad ventur
ous spirits to the lucky spot and later
a rich syndicate bought out all the
smaller claims on the lodfje and estab
lished there (he great mills and smej
ters of the Calumet .Miirinj; and .Smelt
ing Company.
lheii the Southern I'acitic people
awakened to the importance of the en
terprise, and after a scries of consul
tations with i ne syndicate In the course
of which a very handsome liiumcial
proposition was made l.y the miners, a
branch road was surveyed up through
the canons to the silo of Mic now rap
idly growing town. Tire difficulties
were almost Insurmountable, but nt
Inst the work was done and a very
crooked and dangerous piece of trai
was the result. Its grades were pre
cipitous in 'the extreme: its curves
sharp to the last degree, and its road
bed so narrow In some places that If a
car became derailed it was either de
molished against tne rock wall on one
side or went to the bottom of. the gorge
on the other, there to lie and rot and
rust away. Once over the cliff the cost
of raising an ore car would almost
pay for a new one, and the company
seldom made any effort to recover the
wreckage.
One point on the short road had al
ways been dreaded by the trainmen,
and tills was the sharp curve at the
approach to what Was called the sec
ond crossing. It had been a prolific
source of wrecks nnd the rocks below
the bridge were slrewn with the bro
ken tlmliers and bent and twisted iron
work of dozens of ore cars that had
plunged over the sheer sides of the
deep gorge. This second crossing
bridge was at the foot of the heaviest
grade and from there the road wound
through the beautiful Silver Creek
Valley to the "Junction," where it Jolli
ed the main line of the Southern I'a-clfle.
At the point where Hie level traca:
commenced, hardly a stone's throw
g 1 from the second crossing bridge, the
company had built a short siding for
the use of the giant coiisolldated'en-
igli!c that was used to push the long

just across the main track from the
cottage where
John Clarke, the engineer, and his
daughter, Jessie, lived.
Miss Jessie at that time was nearly
1(, and for the last three years hail
been her father's housekeeper. All her
life she had Is'en Intimately associated
with railroad men and for the three
years that her father had been run
ning the big "pusher" she had had no
other companion than the old engineer,
his fireman and a little brother, sev
eral years her junior.
All her spare time she spent with her
father a I suit the engine, and had made
it an enthusiastic study until, at 10,
sin. knew Its mechanism about as thor
oughly us dltl her gray-haired father;
In fact, it was her boast that she could
"run the eonsolldator as good as Dad
dy." A short time Ixiforo the Incident hap
pened of which I am ulsiut to tell you,
a tourist delayed by it wreck at the
bridge had sis-nt the day at Clarke's
cottage. The little housekeeper had
made the tiny very pleasant for him
hy piloting ill in about the valley, and
on leaving he had given her a pair of
powerful Held glasses. They were her
dearest earthly possession, for with
them she could see her father's engine
us It crept down the inomitalivfor near
ly an hour before tie would arrive at
the siding.
The long stretches of road as It
wound around the crags up the canon,
now for a mile In sight, then disap
pearing' among the rocks only to re
appear still further tip the mountain,
were always an Interesting study for
the girl, anil, lint for those Held glass

heavy train struck the engine, then the
uliiirake lever was sent to the "emer

speed ol the train that even that did
1'L.t little to slacken the speed and that
awful curve at the bridge was almost
in sight.
Jess'c almost lost her uerve as she
thought of that deadly place. She
knew the big engine would never
round it at its present rate of speed.
Suddenly the escape valve of the en
gine opened with a mighty roar, tell
ing iier the powerful machine was
straining and quivering under the
pr -smii e of neai ly 200 pounds of steam.
and then a favorite axiom of tier fa- I
tliers came to mind: "If air won't
hold 'em, give 'em steam."
One supreme effort of the strong
young arms and the reverse lever of
the black giant was thrown over, the
sand pipes were opened and with
suady hand Jessie opened the, tlirot

the heavy train.
Now the speed of the train material

nnd then came another shock for the

would try It now despite the awful
danger. If "Daddy" could do It. she
could.
