Treating Wrong Disease. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and In this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only tympttrmt caused by Borne uterine disease. The physician. Ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages tbts prac tice until large buls are made. The suf fering pattern gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce’s Fa vorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby' dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery.

At a Michigan hotel noted for its baths for the cure of rheumatism came a woman from New York,, who at once made the acquaintance of every person, apparently for the sole purpose of telling them her imaginary ailments, hearing them tell about their own, and discussing at great length the curative properties of the springs. She made a particular victim of an old gentleman, who, being of a some what retiring, silent temperament, was extremely annoyed by ber questions and oftrepeated tales of woe. Finally, one morning, when he was taking a sun bath on the piazza, sur rounded by a few congenial acquaint ances, the woman approached, inflicted upon him a renewal of her tiresome conversation, and exhausted his pa tience. His opportunity for revenge came quickly. “Mr. Ladd,” said she settling weakly into a chair, “we have had so many pleasant discussions about our suffer ings—and yet not half so pleasant as they might have been, because I’ve been so frightfully lashed with these terrible pains. Why, I looked into the j glass this morning, and you have no idea how pale I was! I scarcely knew myself! But what I wanted to asK you was tms: wnat do you tnmK of these baths? Have you any faith in them? And this climate, particu-, larly, and this air?” “Madam.” replied the old man. “I cannot speak so surely about the baths, but there is no doubt about the climate and the air. I can truthfully say I feel at home here. Why, when I first came here I weighed less by more than fifty pounds. “I could hardly raise an arm above my head. 1 could not speak an intel ligible word. I never left my bed with out being lifted from it by strong arms, and my hands were so useless that I could not pick up a knife and fork. Most of my days I spent half consecious or asleep upon my back, and I did not take any interest in the j conversation of my nurse. “You can see now that T have quite j a little hair. When I came to this ! town there was not a spear of it on my head. I need attention night and day. 1 was so weak and helpless that a child of 4 years of age might have choked me to death without its being in my power to resist. That was when I first came here.” “Gracious.” cried the woman excit edly. “You give me so much hope! How long have you been here? Wrhen did you first come?” “Madam,” answered the old man, 'solemnly, “I was born here.” ; _ You never hear any one complain about "Defiance Starch.” There is none ■ to equal it in quality and quantity, 16 ! ounces, 10 cents.

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that ia what most sufferers think of dyspepsia. They are astonished when their stomach begins to trouble them seriously. They had been eatiug hurriedly and irregularly for a long time, to be sore, but they supposed their stomachs quite used to that. Some people kuow that the strength which the weak stomach needs, and for the lack of which the whole body is suf fering, can be found surely and quickly iu Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Iu hun dreds of instances these pills have suc ceeded where other remedies failed. “My indigestion,” said Mr. J. R. Mil ler, of Dayton, Ya., “came in the first place from the fact that a few years ago I worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd lnmr whenever the ehnuce came, and always very hurriedly. One day I found myself a victim of terrible dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the time for several years. “ I always had a great deal of distress after eatiug, and when I got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. I had very uncomfortable feelings about my heart, and was dizzy and, whenever I stooped over and then straightened up, my eyes would be badly blurred. “I read the statements of several per sons who had got rid of obstinate stom ach tronbles hv using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I bonglit some and they did me a world of good. They acted promptly and did just what was claimed for them. I have no more distress af ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from the region of my heart; the alarming dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am strong again.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

Dr. Stanton, Bishop of Newcastle, Australia, who recently died, was fre quently mistaken for a bushman or a “Sundowner,” which is Australian slang for a tramp. Once a squatter, who expected him as a guest, thought he was lost, and sent out a party to Inquire. They came upon what they thought was a flerertet “Suntlowner,” camped by the roadside, who proved upon inquiry to be the Bishop. Odd Bequests in Wills. Among the wills of early days are found bequests which are amusing.

To daughter Elizabeth a bed and bedding, one heifer, also one great mortar and pestle, and one great ket tle.” Joys of Missionary Bishop. Dr. William Dudley, bishop of New Caledonia, told recently some of the joys of a missionary bishop: "I travel about my diocese with a tent, a bundle of blankets and a Gladstone bag. I do my own cooking, washing and mending, though I take care not to have too many things to mend. I even know how to make yeast. Russia’s Many Tragedies. The story of Russia’s pretenders Is not a romance. It Is a tragedy of blood. Over and over again in the ■ stained pages of her history we find records of the men who claimed the right to rule. They died. Some were poisoned, some were racked, some dragged their chains across Siberia, and some disappeared, none knew how, though men whispered of midnight murder. Insist on Getting It Some grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. foi the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. Refined Cannibals.

BROUGHT DOWN SWELLED HEAD New Englander’s Self-Importance Giv en Severs Shock. The discussion had turned upon the subject of “swelled heads,” and former State Senator John Ford told the following: “In a little town in New England there was once a man who had a great idea of his own importance. He had the worst sort of a swelled head, and thought the town could not exist with out him. He had held town offices and sincerely believed that no one dis charged the duties of those offices as he had. He had also helped the town materially by giving it . money for various purposes. But he was not content with the thanks of the towns people for his services. He believed that there should be some distinct rec ognition of his worth to the commun ity. So one day at a town meeting he asked permission to be buried in the town plot in the center of which the town hall stood. “The Town Councillors laughed and the petition was tabled. The follow ing year he petitioned for the same thing, and again it was tabled. The third year the same thing occurred. “The fourth year the chairman of the Petition Committee arose and said: ‘I have here a petition from the Hon. Mr. B-, asking that he may be buried in the town plot. I move, gentlemen, that we grant this petition, provided the petitioner is buried there next week.’ The motion went through amid shouts of laughter and the peti tion was never again presented."— New York Press. VICTIM OF “CATCH QUESTION.” Applicant's Veracity Evidently Was Not His Strong Point. John E. Vance, of the Civil Service Commission of Little Rock, does not believe in catch questions. “Catch questions,” he said the other day, “are too cruel. Furthermore, they catch everybody, good and bad alike. Hence they fail of their purpose. “I once saw a very sharp examiner examining some applicants for the po lice force. He tested them in arith metic and in geography and in free hand drawing, and then he said he would test their hearing. “He took his watch from his pocket and held it to the ear of a tall, hand some young man. “ ‘Do you hear that tick?’ he said. “‘Yes; perfectly,’ the young man answered. "He held it a foot from the appli cant's ear. “ ‘Still hear it?’ he asked. “ ‘Yes, sir.’ “ ‘Now stand back three paces.’ “The young man did so. “ ‘Now.’ said the examiner, ‘do you hear it from that distance?’ “The applicant listened intently. Then he smfled and nodded. “ ‘I still hear it, sir,’ he said. “ ‘You have the most wonderful hearing I ever came across,’ said the examiner. 'That watch has r_t been running for three weeks.’ ” Peace Overtures. There was blood in the eyes of the two suburban housewives as they glared daggers at one another over the whitewashed fence. "As for you,” hissed the one in the red knit jacket. “I don’t know what I could say that would be sufficiently severe. I hate you!” “And you,” retorted the one in the blue shawl, “are really not worth wasting breath over. So there!” There was a painful pause and then the one in the knit jacket continued: ""I would say a great deal more were it not for your sweet little baby.” “Do—do you really think he is sweet?” "I do, and I am not backward about saying it, although I despise his mother. He is the prettiest little boy in twenty blocks.” “Then—then let's make up. Neigh bors shouldn't be enemies. I’ll hand you a dish of stewed prunes over the fences.” Then they kissed. Russia’s New Minister of Finance. Admiral Birileff brings a robust dis position to his new task. He is a rol licking salt, with a Homeric stammer, a practical joker, like Lord Charles Beresford. Stories about him are numberless. Here is one: When Ad miral Shestakoff was in power he passed a rigorous rule that his young officers must not bankrupt themselves in buying boquets for visiting royal ties. The empress was to visit a ship on which Birileff served. As her ma jesty descended to the cabin a huge bouquet of flowers mysteriously ap peared on the table, and delighted royalty at once took possession of it. Admiral Shestakoff saw the mass of fragrant blossoms in the imperial hands and turned furiously to his of ficer. "Did I not give orders that no one must present flowers?” "N-nobody did!” stammered Biri leff; “s-she t-took it hers-self!”—Har per’s Weekly. The Fall of Galahad.

He had the misfortune to stay out late and make an uproar one night, and to have to account for it before the magistrate the next morning. “What’s your name?” asked the magistrate. Sissons began to reply: “Sis—sss— sss—sss.” “Stop that noise and tell me your name,” said the magistrate impa tiently. itSis—sss—sss”— “That will do,” said the magistrate severely. “Officer, what is this man charged with?” The policeman, who, of course, was an Irishman, immediately responded, with true Irish wit: “I think, yer honor, he’s charged with sody wather." • The Race Question Is a problem that has puzzled the profoundest minds, for many years.

Edison knows that he is an inveterate smoker, but recently he became convinced that his cigars were being used by some person or persons other than himself, probably his workmen. He asked his tobacco nist what could be done about it and the dealer offered to make up some fake cigars partially filled with horse hair or rubber. Edison thought that was a good plan and then he forgot all about the matter. In a week he re called what the tobacconist had agreed to do and called at the store to in quire. "Why, I fixed up those cigars for you some time ago,” said the man. "I put them in a fancy box and tied them in the regulation yellow rib bon.” The inventor smiled in a sheep ish way as he remarked: “Yes, and I guess I smoked them myself.” Mn.

WHO SHE WAS SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. riNKHA.’i And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of ’73” Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was bcrn in Lynn, Mass., February 9th. 1819, com ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert I-SSUMbsl and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies— calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop erties of l • various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lvun. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to W. N. N. Omaha. No. 3—1906 restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams hnd do money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbe were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam ily had saved enough money to com mence! newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vege table Compound have become house hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to.her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful expe rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, includ ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collabora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman’s ills, which Jor authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She wascarefullyinstructed in all her hard-won knowledge and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. . To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its origina tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up With woman assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great w ork.and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad vised how to re gain health. Sick wo men, this advice is “Tours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. finch is the history of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound ; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. TPEFIAHCE STARCH nneT^ High Cuss Druggists AND — OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never Bell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Fig3 is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there as no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects aa Byrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrnp,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of | ^^■ttggistswhc^^Be^^mwha^^^iEl^nd^ta^sU^verytfn^n^^^^^^^Mnableprice^^ PUTNAM FADELESS DYES JXssJsSsj^sis^sl jr« ~ «.
