This woman says Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound saved her life. Head her letter. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “ I can truly spy that Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound saved my life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For years 1 suffered with the worst forms of female com plaints, continually doctoring and spending lots of money for medicine without help. I wrote you for advice, followed it as directed, and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has restored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you I should have been in my grave to-day. I wish every suffering woman would try it. ” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

COFFEE DRINKING t Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart. “lu my opinion,” says a well known Herman physician, no on can truth fully say that coffee agrees with him. as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in jurious. poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles. "For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. “'Convinced of this fact. I have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last 1 found the thing desired in Postum. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected. 1 have recommended Postum as a bev erage. since it is free from all injuri ous or exciting substances. J know this from results in my own family, and among patients. “Hundreds of persons who now use Postum in place of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby.” * There’s a Reason.'

Foreword—There is a compensation in everything—even to the man who was blessed ( ?) with a disorderly wife. No matter how much everything was at sixes and sevens in the house, and nothing in its rightful place, he could always get up in the middle of the night and put his hand on the fly paper without ever having to strike a match. Merrily yours, Marshall P. Wilder. There is a morbid desire latent in the breast of nine-fenths of humanity to have it out with Fate, sooner or later, and to "best" her. if we can. If the old lady has been particularly hard on us. we feel that our grievance is just about the worst ever; and then we want to do something desperate. If we are in the neighborhood of eight years or thereabouts, we fly to the candy shop and sink our all in pepper mints and gumdrops. If we are at the romantic period, w hen love has every thing else at a discount, we get real reckless and say to our bes:t girl. "Co®ue' to the altar! l.et us plunge! Ho! there, installment man! ragtime portieres and marble-top cradles for outs'" Then, when we hate done the deed we re not sorry—no, indeed: only, it entails responsibilities, and things; and consequences—the inevitable con ’ -(-quences. as Kipling puts it So. let ; mi- give you a little suggestion: When | lie reckless fit overtakes you. start on | : journey, if not round the world ! ;hen 'round the hack yard. Now, th:. was what we thought when we started to tour the world: hut. try as we would, we couldn't keep our place hi the procession. We started for the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona: that was to have been oar first stopping place. But we were like the Irishman who started out on a bet to shi>o: a certain bird: he missed the bird, but killed a frog. He picked it up, and looked at it in surprise. Be gobs!" he said, I knocked the feathers off It. anny way !" The- Grand Canyon was our bird: we didn't hit it. hut we knocked the feathers off it in the way of divers unexpected adventures, as will he shown later. The start was propitious, and every thing progressed favorably, until Kan I sas City was reached. We arrived early in the morning and were re quested by the conductor to get break fast at the eating station. Yet that man had seemed to he nur friend! There was a youth a: the quick lunch counter who served coffee, and there was a maiden beside him who occasionally changed a plate. The young man's running fire of re marks to customers, and side compli ments to her. sounded something like this: See here! If you've finished, get a move on and give somebody else a show! Say. Marne! there's one o' them up town girls that think so much of themselves. Why, they ain't a marker 10 you! I tell you. you're worth— Fifteen cents, please, and the cup “Had They Seen Her Abigail?" don't go with the coffee for a souve neer. Say. Manic, was you to Nellie's last night? 1 bet you looked out of sigh;. 1 couldn't get away from this beanery. That's the very best butter, madam' We get it five miles out in the country. What's that? No; I don't reckon it walked all the way here' Ain't she fresh?" A stout woman hovered along the line seated by the counter, like a per turbed hen trying to find a hole in the chicken yard fence She held a small tin fc-ail and had evidently come from th» cat of excursionists attached to ot. train. She inquired anxiously of tLo Ganymede of the coffee urn; -Say. young feller, what's yer coffee w-uth a cup?" But Ganymede was too closely occupied to heed her. Finally she poked a beetle-browed old gentle man in the back with the dime she held, repeating; “Say. mister, what's coffee wuth a cup, here?" Turning fiercely, the man glared at j her and snorted: “Well, they charge ten cents, but it ain't wutli a d—m!’’ * * • • • “Washouts on the road"’ was the word when we returned to the train, J and we must be switched south at 1 Xewton, Kan. We had visions of the ! Grand Canyon receding into the future and darker ones of spending we knew not how many days on the train. So we looked about us to see what man ner of people were to be our traveling j companions. They were certainly i varied. Back of us was an old Irish woman —the pathetic sort that axe peculiar to J ' County Down. She would confide her story in a plaintive little monotone to ' everyone. "To me daughter." she explained. "God knows 1 want some few days of sunshine before 1 go intirely. I'm not strong, and I ate nothin' at all. ye'd wonder what I live on. I've han nothin' the past three days hut eight bottles of Kumys, four bottles of wine an' a box of crackers. Think of that, now—just nothin' at all.” She went to one of the eating houses along the way and, not knowing they would charge her for a tail! meal, she George. sai at one of the tables and ordered a cup of tea and a roll. Her indigna tion. w hen Charged 75 cents, was sub lime. It took the cashier, four wait resses and the proprietor to explain that she should have gone no the coun ter ISut of no avail. T!s«' blood of County Down was at white heat. She raved like a mad woman. Finally the cashier offered to take fiO cents—that was allowing 15 rents for the rest of the dinner. * * * * * Farther down the car was a would be fashionable woman, the kind who affects an English accent and uses a lorgnette. She was traveling with her small daughter and maid. The maid was evidently her most treasured pos session. for she displayed the greatest anxiety on her account, ceaselessly asking everyone the same question: Had they seen he- Abigail? The small daughter was a bright, restless child, whose every action called forth a cau tion or a reprimand from the mo ther. "Xita. darling!" in a mincing, ele gant tone, and quite piano: "my pre cious sweetheart"—then sforzando— crescendo fortissimo—"You little vix en—stop that, or I'll break your neck!" An Australian couple who were re turning home by way of San Francis co. after having come to America by way of England, had the next section. She had talented Leslie Carter hair— deeply, darkly, beautifully red: hut. after all. good .Jesuit hair—the roots justified the ends. She was not at all pleased with America.—oh. dear, no! —and constantly aired her impres sions in a strident voice, and with a strong cockney accent. She thought America a "shocking plice"—and very much overrated—one she never eared to see "agine." And the railroad serv ice—"the h'idea of dragging them all over the country and cheating them out of the Grand Canyon—why, it was downright dishonest!" ***** The porter was an amusing charac ter. anti had a droll way of referring to himself in the third person. 1 asked him if he was married. He said: “No, sah. but I got a gai. Nicest little gal you ever saw—she's pretty dark—but George likes 'em that-a way. they cain't come too black fer George. I ain't got. no kind o’ time fer dese yer trailer ones, they simply ornery, they got all the big feelin's o’ the white folks, an’ the bad qualities o' the niggers!” Just then the lady with the lorgnette came along and. peering through it at George, asked: ' Oh, George, have you seen my maid?” No. ma'am. 1 ain't! " he said, add ing. when site passed on: "Seems like she has an awful hard time keepin" up with that maid—she's so feared we won't know she's got one. George has seen big white folks down south so po’ they didn't know whar they ne?:' meal was cornin' fum. but, sah." impressive ly. dcy was quality jis' de same! I)is >er ooman ain' got no mo’ use fo' a maid dan a hawg got fo’ side pawk ets!" George's quaint remarks, and very often homely wisdom, were a great solace to us through the long days that dragged by as we meandered aim lessly over the southwestern portion of this great and glorious country of ours. Dotvn through Oklahoma and rrsxas, from Fort Worth across to E! Paso, and up through Arizona and Southern California, v.e took on* de vious way, dodging washouts, which seemed to multiply with alarming rapidity. PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I. Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public as a regular pharmaceu tical product. It is just as ethical as any comp mud put up tor the medical i profession No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sail our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being ; entirely within their approval. 3UT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Perana as a household remedy. We shall , continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to tbe home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit icism will continue On some pretext or other those who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find People Who Object to I faait~ ®at wc are determined to give i • 'j n such neople no just complaint.

Dr. N. S.

Out of five cases so treated, all hut one are said to have recovered, where as the disease has generally been re garded as incurable. Dr. Spitxka of the Jefferson medical college, however, says that the theory on which Owens by operated has not been proved.
