Women in Out Hospitals i Appalling Increase in the Number of Operations Performed Each Year—How Women May Avoid Them. f I Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting cr recovering from serious opera tions. Why should this be the case ? Sim ply because they have neglected them selves. Ovarian and womb troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country—they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leueorrhoea. diz ziness, flatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest them selves. do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and sub mit to an operation—but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations When women are troubled with ir regular. suppressed or painful menstru ation, weakness, leueorrhoea. displace ment or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flat ulency). general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such sj-mptoms as dizziness, lassi tude. excitability, irritability, nervous ness, sleeplessness, melancholy. “ all gone "and “want-to-be-left-alone" feel ings, they should remember there is one 1 tried and true remedy. The following' letters cannot fail to bring hope to despairing women. Mrs. Fred Seydel, 412 N. 54th Street, West Philadelphia. Pa , writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— 1 was in a verv serious condition when I wrote to you for advice 1 had a serious womb Jid ovarian trouble and 1 couid not carry a child to maturity, and was advised that an | . operation was my onlv hope of recovery. I , could not bear to think of going to the hospi tal. so wrote you for advice 1 did as you in structed me and took Lydia E. Pinkham"» Vegetable Compound; aiid I am not onlf a well woman to-day. but have a beautiful baby ' girl six months old. I advise all sick and . suffering women to write you for advice, as ! you have done so much for me." Miss Ruby Mushrush, of East i Chicago, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— *• I have heena great sufferer with irregular menstruation ana ovarian trouble, and about three months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray on me. said I had an aboess on the ovaries and would have to have an operation. My mother wanted me to trv Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and it not only saved me from an operation but made me entirely well.” Lydia E. P nkham’s Vegetable Com pound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for ! you need the best. , Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice Her advice and medicine ha^e restored thousands to ; health. Address.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Thirty Years CASTGRIA HIS SOCIETY “STUNT.” BOWERY HERO HAD AT LEAST ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT. Effort of Tom Gould to Impress the Ladies of the Astor Household in the Only Way He Could Think of at Embarrassing Moment. When Mr. Astor ran for Congress— and lost—one of his adherents was Tom Gould. Mr. Gould was a type. He was proud of his own physical strength: proud of Mr. Astor as his choice for the national legislature. Any bibulous one who visited Mr. j Gould’s bar and expressed a dislike i for Mr. Astor fell a prey to trouble. Mr. Astor liked Mr. Gould, being j struck with his amazing garb and un trammeled manners. The ladies at his house, to whom he spoke of Mr. Gould and his eccentricities of speech and dress, were smitten of a desire to know more of him. They besought Mr. Astor to invent an excuse and have Mr. Gould to the house, where they might rejoice their eyes and ears with him. Mr. Astor made the excuse: Mr. Gould appeared. The latter wore a silk hat. a reefer jacket with white pearl buttons as large as silver dol lars, checked trousers, striped shirt, red necktie and a waistcoat like unto an alarm of fire. Over all this splen dor was cast a light green topcoat; for the air of autumn was chill. Mr. Astor received his visitor in the drawing-room: presently the ladies of the household drifted in, and Mr. Gould was presented. xia\in£ launcnea ms adherent on what might be termed the tides of high society. Mr. Astor. to the end that the ladies study Mr. Gould at their ease, if rot at his. made a pie tense of retiring to the library in quest of certain papers of moment in his campaign. Left alone and unpro tected, Mr. Gould was discouraged, and tried to hide it. The ladies them selves could think of nothing to say, but eyed Mr. Gould in timid silence. Mr. Gould began to feel the strain; that he might be more at elegant ease he paced the floor—five majestic strides ore way, then wheel and re turn. This pedestrianism gave a measure of relief and yet Mr. Gould felt the necessity of saying something. He must screen his awkwardness from the ladies and show them how he felt at home. Suddenly, like a flood of light, a happy thought swept over him. Mr. Gould paused, half turned to his fair auditors, shrugged his square should ers. inflated his deep chest, made a gesture with his hand, palm down ward, and spake these words huskily; “Soy, lydies’ I'll bet y' a hundred dollars I kin lift th' pianny."—A. H. Lewis in the Saturday Evening Post. STATISTICS OF THE OCEANS Few People Seemingly Realize Their Enormous Extent. An officer of a big liner once told the writer that most folk seem to be as ignorant about the size of the sea as they are of the distance between the heavenly planets. Here are a few ! facts for the curious: i The Pacific covers 0S.000.000 miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 miles, and the I Indian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000. To stow away the contents of the Pacific it would be necessary to fill a 1 tank one mile long, one mile wide. ! and one mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures, the Pacific holds in weight 948,000,000,000,000, 000.000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth of ] not quite three miles. Its waters I weigh 325,000,000.000,000,000 tons, and I a tank to contain it would have each ! of its sides 430 miles long. The figures of the other oceans are j in the same startling proportions. It 1 would take all the sea water in the world 2,000.000 years to flow over Ni j agara. A tank to hold it all would j have to measure nearly 1,000 miles along each of its sides. Masculine Dullness. See, Alice is knitting. “One—rkip two three— Then over. Somehow, I just feel that he Is going to like these" slippers I've knit— Only one thing troubles me: Will they tit? And 1 wonder if he will like pale blue? | Will ho understand it—'My love is true?’ Four—five—six—seven—eight—skip ten— and turn— ; (He'll never suspect this was hard to learn). •'It’s surprising, they say, how knitting holds; I guessed his size. These are number five soles: Now, with pale-blue slippers I really think The prettiest hews are a sea-shell pink; He will enjoy putting these on at night; Dear hoy. he sits up till past 3 to write!

Alice writes it’s something she has made for me— I must promise to wear them constant ly! The dear little angel—she only lacks wings! (If I only knew the name of these things!) Is it two pincushions—or a sachet?— Whatever it is. I will put it away.” —New Orleans Picayune. Not a Safe Juror. Attorney for defense: “One more question. Mr. Plunkett. Have you any prejudice in this case, one way or the other?” Talesman—No sir. Attorney—If you should be accept ed as a juror do you think you could render a verdict in accordance with the law and the evidence? TaljApan—I think I could. Att^^ey (after whispered confer ence with his client)—Your honor, we’ll excuse Mr. Plunkett. Jealous Workman Does Damage. Jealous of what ho thought undue favor to another employe, Hugo Heck elsmuller, an oiler in the works of the United Railways of San Fran cisco, began putting sand in the ma chinery journal boxes of the power house machinery. He was caught when he had done damage to the amount of $10,000. Temple of Fraternity. A temple of fraternity will be one of the features of the Lewis and Clark centennial at Portland, Ore. Not a Bit Tired. A little girl was very proud of be ing taken for a walk by her father, and, though sometimes the rambles extended a trifle beyond her strength, she would not have pleaded fatigue for worlds. One day, however, her father noticed that she was lagging “Tired, Pussy?” he asked. “No, fath er—that is, not azackly tired. I was only wishing 1 could take off my legs and carry them a little bit, that's all.” Feminine Confessions. Whether we are doing th?

An authority on cooking asserts that England is a soupless country, meaning that English cooks cannot make soup and that soup does not appear on the menu of an English every day dinner. Which is a fact, though soup is about the first form | that English charity takes. Japanese Servants. A traveler says that the Japanese ; servant is a person of social import ance.

Public speaking especially exposes the throat and bronchial tubes to catarrhal affections. Breathing the air of crowded assem blies. and the necessary exposure to night air which many preachers must face, makes catarrh especially prevalent among their class. Peruna has become justly popular among them. \ sB/SffOP Lff./fALSfK J The Friends of Pe-ru-na. Despite the prejudices of the medical profession against proprietary medi cines, the clergy have always main tained a strong confidence and fricnd ► ship for Peruna. | They have discovered by personal ex ’ perience that Peruna does ail that is claimed for it.

I have suffered with this terrible disease for more than twenty years, until since I have been using Peruna. which has relieved me of the trouble. “1 have tried many remedies and spent a great deal of hard-earned money for them, but I found nothing so effectual in the cure of catarrh as the great medicine, Peruna. “/ feel sure that Peruna is not only a triumph of medical science, but it is also a blessing to suffering humanity. ‘•Every individual who suffers with respiratory diseases will find TVrnna a magnificent and sovereign remedy.”—L. 11. liaise}*, lip.
