!Backache, “The Blues”
Both Symptoms of Organic Derangement in
Women—Thousands of Sufferers Find Relief.
How often do we hear women say: “It
seems as though my back would break,”
or “Don’t speak to me, I am all out of
sorts"? Thesesignificantremarksprove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and “ the bines” are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. It
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some derangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and LydiaE Pinkham s Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
It is the most universally success
ful remedy for woman’s ills known to
medicine.

Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely.
Mrs. J. C. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham;—
“ I have Buffered everything with backache
and female trouble—I let the trouble run on
until my svstem was in such a condition that
I was unable to be about, and then it was I
commenced to use Lvdia Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. If 1 had only known how
much suffering I would have saved I should
have taken it months sooner—for a few
weeks’ treatment made me well and strong.
My backaches and headaches are all gone and
I suffer no pain at mv monthlv periods,
whereas before I took Lydia E, Pinkham’s
V egetable Compound I suffered intense pain. ”
Mrs. Emma Cotrely, 109 East 12th
Street, New York City, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I feel it mv duty to tell all sufferingwomen
of the relief 1 have found in Lydia E. Pink

everything with backaches, headaches, and
female troubles. 1 am completely cured and

MAKING THE ARROWS PERFECT.
Why Grooves are Invariably Cut In
the Shafts.
In making an Indian arrow three
small undulating grooves are cut on
the shaft, running down to the head
from the lower end of the feathers,
says the Southern Workman. This
has attracted the attention of some of
the ethnologists, who gave the mattei
considerable study and wisely con
cluded that the little lines were made
for the blood to run through or that
they represented lightning. An old
Omaha, who had the reputation of be
ing very skillful in cutting grooves in
arrow shafts, was called by the chief
to do that work for him on some ar
rows he was making. The chief him
self was a fine arrow maker, but he
recognized the skill of the old man in
this particular line. While the work
was in progress the chief’s son. who
had reached the inquisitive age and
was looking on with wide-eyed inter
est, suddenly asked. “Venerable man.
why are you making those crooked
lines?’’ The chief gave a hearty laugh
and said, “Father, tell him. for he will
be making arrows himself 6ome day,
and he should know how.” “Every
sapling,” answered the old man. “out
of which the arrow is made has some
defect, however faultless it may ap
pear to be. The good arrow maker
takes a great deal of pains to smooth
out and straighten the imperfections
by oiling and heating, but the wood in
time v ill spring back because of its
inherent defects unless these grooves
are cut in the shaft soon after sea
soning and straightening.”
TOOK NAP IN PERILOUS PLACE
Workman Asleep in a Window Twelve
Stories from the Ground.
The other day in New York, Morris
Spencer, weary of window cleaning,
calmly sat down and fell asleep on
the narrow ledge of the twelfth story
of a Wall street sky scraper. Before
closing his eyes, he dropped one leg
carelessly over the edge of the ledge
and leaned his head back against the
window frame; then he slipped off
into dreamland.
For three hours the window cleaner
slept on his narrow, lofty bed. uncon
scious of peril. A bad dream—a sud
den start—and off he would have turn
bled, to be dashed to destruction on
the granite pavement 135 feet below
The ledge was only two feet wide.
A man in an office on the twelfth
story of the building across the streei
saw Spencer. He telephoned to the
ground floor for Policeman Ross ot
the traffic squad, who was passing.
The latter made his way to the win
dow through which Spencer had pass
ed to reach the ledge, grasped his arm
and shook it gently.
Spencer awoke at the first shake,
got up silently like a cat, crawled in
side to safety and without a word
went away to clean more windows. A
crowd watched the “rescue” and
cheered.
Alas for the Polished Floor.
“Aunt Louisa,” as the late Mrs.
Louisa Eldridge was lovingly called,
was well known as an actress, but she
was even better known as the organ
! izer of the annual Christmas festival
for stage children at Pastor’s theater
in New York.
“In presenting their Christmas gifts
to the stage children.” said an actress,
’Aunt Louisa made the jolliest littlp
speeches. I well remember what she
said to me when I was a juvenile in
presenting me with a crutch, for 1
had sprained my ankle badly in a
snow scene.
“She said she hoped I would incom
mode no one with my crutch, as her
cousin, a veteran colon 1, sometimes
incommoded people with his wooden
leg.
"Her causin, she said, was once din
ing with a man whose floors were oi
highly polished and costly inlaid
woods.
“The host got nervous as he saw the
colonel clumping and clattering about
on his expensive floors. He was afraid
they would be scratched up.
“ ‘Hadn’t you better come over
here on the rug. colonel?” he said.
‘You might slip out there, you know.’
“But the colonel with a loud laugh
struck the floor firmly with his wood
en leg.
“ 'No fear of that,’ said he. ‘There’s
a nail in the end, you know.’ ”

RHEUMATIC PAINS
Disappear Whan Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills Purify tha Blood and
Heal Inflamsd Tissues.
Rheumatism is a disease of the blood,
canted by the failure of the body to cast
off certain poisons. External applica
tions are of use only in securing tempo
rary relief front pain—the core for
rheumatism lies in purifying and en
riching the blood.
Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter
street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer
from inflammatory rheumatitan front
the time she was sixteen. She sbts
“It first appeared in my knee joints,
then in my hips and waist. It became
a regular thing that I wonld be laid ur
all winter. The rheumatism affected
mostly my bsnds, hips, feet and
shoulders. My hands were all pulled
up and my feet became deformed. 1
lost my appetite, couldn’t sleep and
sometimes I was compelled to cry out,
the pain was so intense.
“For several winters I was under the
doctor's care and while liis medicine re
lieved the pain for a little while there
seemed no prospect for a permanent
cure. I was confined to my bed, off and
on, for weeks Rt a time. My limb*
swelled dreadfully at times and I was
redneed almost to nothing.
“ In the spring of 1904, upon the ad
vice of a friend. I began to use Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. At that time I
wasn’t able to do anything and could
barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt
a change for the better in about a mouth.
I began to eat heartily and I suffered
less pain. Of course I kept on the
treatment, using care in roy diet, and
in abont three months 1 was cured. I
am entirely well today and do all my
own work.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills enred Mrs.
Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons

Ancient French Custom.
Dumas in his ‘ Isabel of Bavaria” re
fers to an ancient privilege which au
thorized the deputies of the six mer
chant bodies to accompany the kings
and queens of France upon their entry
into Paris from the gate of St. Denis
to the palace, followed on this occasion
by the representatives of the different
manufacturing bodies clothed to rep
resent the “seven capital sins,” and,
by way of contrast, the "seven Chris
tian virtues.”
Great Desire of Humankind.
‘‘There is in man’s nature a secret

some one or a few, does naturally
spread itself toward many,” said Lord

mark might be applied with good rea
son to the unmarried woman, who
within the last half century, has be

Fine Pictures in Barber Shop.
There is a barber at Verdun, says
the Paris Figaro, who decorates, his
shop with priceless Corots, instead of
the usual advertisements of some
body’s soap or hair wash, and. what is
more strange, knows what he is doing.
They were a present from the artist
himself to a cousin of the barber and
came to him as a legacy.
Umbrella Stands on Cars.
There is an agitation in Glasgow.
Scotland, to have umbrella stands

FOOD AND STUDY
A College Man’s Experience.
“All through my high school course
and first year in college,” writes an
ambitious young man, “I struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond of
cakes and fried things. My Bystem
got into a state of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any de
gree of satisfaction. I tried different
medicines and food preparations but
did not seem able to correct the dif
ficulty.
“Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it I
had to do something, so I just buck
led down to a rigid observance of the
directions on the package, and in
less than no time began to feel better.
In a few weeks my strength was re
stored, my weight had increased, I
had a clearer head and felt better in
every particular. My work was sim
ply Rnort to what it*was formerly.
“My sister s health was badly run
down and she had become so nervdus
that she could not attend to her
music. She went on Grape-Nuts and
had the same remarkable experience
that I had. Then my brother, Frank,
who is in the postoffice department
at Washington city and had been try
ing to do brain work on greasy foods,
cakes and all that, joined the Grape
Nuts army. I showed him what it
was and could do and from a broken
down condition he has developed into
a hearty and efficient man.
“Besides these I could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men
tally and physically by the use of
this food." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

but finally broke out with "What
makes you do that. Uncle Will? My

Religious Symbols on Coins.
Religious symbols on coins were
common to all the countries that ac
cepted Christianity, the bust or mono
gram of a ruler on the obverse and on
the reverse a cress or Christian tem
ple. But as the simplicity of classic
ism disappeared before the elaborate
composition and decoration of the
middle ages we find heraldic devices
substituted, which gave a national and
individual character to the coinage.
Forgive the Cook.
At last she is vindicated. Cooks
have long been celebrated for their
inflammable tempers, no excuse being
made for them, but a German scien
tist has come to their rescue, and as
serts that their crossness is not a
fault of character by a symptom of
a disease common to the profession,
and induced by the habitual heat and
light to which they are exposed.

/High Class Drug®!?!
AND—OTHERS. |
The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, 1
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 I
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but ■
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. I
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes I
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and 1
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. 1
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 I
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest *
U remedies, and they always take pleasure iu handing out the genuine article bearing the full flf 3
JV name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. F
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and ft
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or ft
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its eiiects as
Syrup 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 thete, 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 j
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations I
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, I
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
I should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
I they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes M
ft off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which I
m does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, ft
M * he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his ft
W establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and f
M 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.
I Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand I
ft f°r our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- j
ft 'where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions I
ft exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return M
■ *ny imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— m
■ California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the m
W article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of ■
^^^druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. Jm
