All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when
a woman’s nerves are overwrought.
The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes,
“ball rising in the throat,” violent beating of the heart,
laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing
the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occur
rences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and se
rious derangement of the female organs.
Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which
must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however,
yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkhamks Vegetable Com
pound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the
nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing
symptoms.
Mrs. Lewis Says: •• I Feel Like a New Person, f
Physically and flentally.”
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam 1 wish to speak a good word for Lydia E.
Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound. For years I had ovarian trouble
and suffered everythin'? from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in
back and abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to
try you, medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief. I con
tinued its use and now am feeling like a new person, physically and mentally,
and am glad to add one more testimonial to the value of your remedy.”—
Mrs. M. H. Lewis. 2108 Valentine Ave., Tremont, New York, N. Y.
Writing to Mrs. Pinkham is the quickest and surest way
to get the right advice about all female troubles. Her ad
dress is Lynu, Mass. She advises women free. Following
is an instance :
Mrs. Haven’s First Letter to Mrs. Pinkham.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I would like vour advice in regard to my
troubles. I suffer every month at time of menstruation, and (low so much
and for so long that I become very weak, also get very dizzy. I am troubled
with a discharge before and after menses, have pains in ovaries ro bad some
times that I can hardly get around, have sore feeling in lower part of bowels,
pain in back, bearing-down feeling, a desire to pass urine frequently, with
I pains in passing it; have leucorrhoea, headache, fainting spells, and some
times have hysteria. My blood is not in good condition. Hoping to hear
from you. I am,” Mrs. Emma Haven, 2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa.
(JuneS, 1899.)
Mrs. Haven’s Second Letter.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish to express my gratitude for what your
medicine has done for me. I suffered for four years with womb trouble.
Every month I flowed very badly. I got so bad that I could hardly do my
•work. Was obliged to sit hr lie down the most of the time. I doctored for
a long time, but obtained no relief. I began using your remedies—Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, Blood Purifier, Sanative Wash
and Liver Pills—and now feel like a new worami Mrs. Emma. Haven,
2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa. (Feb. 1, 1900.)
Owing to the fact that some skeptical
people haveyfrom time to time questioned
thegrnuinenessof the testimonial letters
we are constantly publishing, we have
deposited with the National City Hank, of Lvnn, Mass., $5,000,
which will be paid to any person who will chow that the above
testimonials arc not genuine, or were published before obtaining the
writers’ special permission.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicinb Co.

BIGGEST SALVAGE RECORDED.
SttTiu;; $ 1,2 •*0.000 in Cinhl from Sttanr i
*liip M. I'au'.
When the bin American Hp.p steam
ship ;:t. Paul ran aground in a dens
fog oi, the Jersey beach, near the lower I
end of Long Branch, before dayligh' j
on January 25, 189*;, in the cargo was
$1,250,000 in gold, consigned to a firm ,
in -New York. It. was essential that!
this should be landed. Arrangements
were made with the Merritt-Chupman!
Wrecking company to have the strand
ed liner hauled off. She and her cargo,
including the gold, were heavily in
sured. After it was found that it was!
going to be very difficult to Moat the,
big ship the consignees of the gold,
who needed it in their business, ap
pealed to Captain (’lark as Llyod's New
York agent to have it landed, it re-!
maim d aboard the vessel three days: i
the fact of it being fh-re rendered th" j
underwriters liable for a hea\ier ta\
in the event of the vessel being float
ed. Naturally the American line di l
not make any strenuous efforts to have i
the bullion discharged, and just as!
naturally Lloyds wore anxious to gc. I
it off as quickly as possible, for in the
event of a storm arising and causing
the destruction of the ship the gold I
would have added so much more to th"!
loss of the underwriters. Captain i
Clark chartered a steamer and offered .
to Like charge of the gold and land It.
Thereupon the captain obtained a
promise that, the gold would lie landed1
immediately. Thus the underwriters
were relieved of the further risk and
expense of floating the stranded ship.;
The gold was transferred to the lighter!
Haggerty down a sagging chute-sug
gestive stretch of canvas in bags, kpgs
and boxes. Twelve men armed with1
revolvers guarded the treasure as it
was transferred from a pier to a truck
and taken to a vault in Wall street.

JAMES MADISON IN YOUTH.
Bcoli b Ni'Lnolmaster Named I)onrtl<i*on
Gave Him Hi* start.
James Madison, fourth president of
the 1'nitod States, was born at Port
Conway, Va., March Pi. 1751. His fa
ther was a planter in moderate i ircuni
stances, and Janies was the eldest of
a family of twelve. The hoy’s first
education was received at a school
kept by a worthy Scotchman, named
Donaldson. His progress was remark-'
able and encouraged his father to give
his son a college education. Young
Madison entered Princeton colleg'* and
was graduated in 1772, remaining a
year after to make a study of Hebrew.
On his return home lie devoted himself
to teaching his brothers and sisters,
all the time pushing bis own studies.
In history and constitutional law lie
was especially wi ll versed, ami these
acquirements served him well in his
public career. Early in 177G he was
appointed a delegato to the state con
vention which met in May, at Wil
liamsburg. This convention's duty was
to instruct the Virginia delegation to
the continental congress in regard to
tiie declaration of independence. Three
years later young Madison was a dele
gate to congress, and from that time
lie held many important public offices.
In 1809 he was elected president of
the United States. He served during
one of the most critical periods in the
history of the country—-white the sec
ond war with Great Rritaiu was in
progress. At the close of his second
term as chief executive Madison re
tired to his estate at Montpelier, Va..
where he peacefully passed the last
twenty years of his life with his he-:
loved hooks and friends. He dit d there :

A recent advocate of dress reform
for women says that her advice, if fal
lowed, will rob house cleaning of much
of its horror. Illoomcrs and blouses
are, she contends, the only rational
dress for a woman who i 111< nds to
tackle the house-cleaning problem.
Long swishing petticoats and feminino
fripperies have their time and place;
but if a woman wants to climb ladders
and wrestle with carpets ..nd wield
broom and dust cloth effectively, ler
her take off her corsets and skirts and
don a bloomer costume of washable
material. Denim, says the oracle,
makes serviceable and effective bloom
ers; and, if this material is too heavy
for a blouse, a thinner material, har
monizing in color with the denim, may
he used. The blouse should be finished
with a soft rolling collar, which will
leave the neck muscles free. It is ad
visable, too, to end the sleecrs Just be

so that the wrists shall he left free.
This is also recommended as a prac

Gold Count'* Monkey Skin Trade.
There has been an increase of near
ly JSO.OOO in the value of monkey skins
exported from the Gold coast, and the
warnings issued by past colonial gov
ernments have been unheeded. In
1896 it was reported that during the
six previous years no fewer than 884,
768 skins had been exported. It is only
skins that are in good condition with
few shot-holes that are capable of be
ing disposed of. It is estimated that
during this period as many as a mil
lion of monkpys have been massacred
