Mrs. Weisslitz , president of the German -
Womans' Club of Buffalo N. Y.
man , . . , afterj
i doctoring for two years , was finally cured1
of her kidney trouble by the 'use of
E PinMiam's Vegetable Compound *
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted ,
kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact , unless prompt and correct treatment
t is applied , the , weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this , Mrs. Pinkhatn , early in her career , gave careful
study to the subject , and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills
'I/ydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound made sure that it con
tained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that
i dreaded disease , woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts
in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system , and while
there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles , ! Lydia E. Pink-
1 ham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared
'for women.
Read What Mrs. WeissSitz Says.
"DEAR Miis. PIXKHAM : For two years my life was simply a bur
den , I suffered so with , female troubles , and pains across my back and
loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney , troubles and prescribed
for me. For three months I took his medicines , but grew steadily
worse. lily husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
" Vegetable Compound , and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest
"blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a
changed woman. My pain had disappeared , my complexion became
clear , my eyes bright , and my entire system in good shape. " MRS. PAULA
WEISSLITZ , 170 Seneca St. , Buffalo , N. Y.
Proof that Kidney Trouble can fee Cured by Lvdia E. Piuldiam's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PrxKnAii : I feel very thankful to you for the good
your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily
growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys , and two doctors told
me I had Bright's disease ; also had falling of the womb , and could not
walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time , and I was
so nervous I could not sleep ; had hysteria and fainting spells , was tired
all the time , had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand
at tunes without putting my foot on something.
" I doctored with several good doctors , but they did not help me any. '
I took , in all , twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
i pound , five boxes of Liver Pills , and used three packages of Sanative
"Wash , and feel like a new woman , can eat and sleep well , do all my own
work , and can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctors
tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well ,
and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine. " MRS. OPAL STRONG ,

PLAYING PROVIDENCE.
"There ! " said JImmie , with great
satisfaction , as h& took an armful of
hay and covered up the hen's nest he
had found full of eggs. "Now some
d.iy when mother or the cook wonders
what we can have for breakfast , I'll
say , 'Eggs , ' and they'll be surprised. "
As Jiinmie left the barn chamber
and backed down the shaky ladder to
the floor below , he was pleased with
himself. The family was summering
on a completely abandoned New
Hampshire farm , where conveniences
were lacking and necessities were
miles away. Jimmie's father had se
cured the farm as "just the place for
them all. " But for a number of weeks
he had not been heard to , say more
than that the air was good. That he
said , on occasions when his wife could
not see that it was apropos.
"What difference docs that make , "
fiho would ask , with fine sarcasm , "if
the water is too roily to wash the
clothes in ? Tell me that ! "
Of course he could not make her un
derstand , so he used to go down to the
lower barn , and stay there till the
water and his Avif e's brow cleared.
But if the older ones grumbled. , Tim-
mie never did. lie felt that it was his
opportunity. It was as nearly like a
desert island as it could be , he thought ,
and it was a matter of pride with him
to be equal to such an emergency. He
fished , trapped once he really got a
very undesirable animal , and had to
bury the trap and his clothes and did
a l that wide reading and his own ac
tive imagination could suggest to bet
ter the situation. He was always
ready to play providence , and success
in any line , as even he knew , is large
ly a matter of opinion. Jimmie thought
he was doing very well indeed.
As all Jlrnmie's days were filled with
more or less laborious delights , he for
got all about the treasure hidden in the
haymow , till one day somebody arrived
unexpectedly , and he heard his mother
and the cook wondering frantically
what they could have for luncheon.
"Give me a basket , " said Jiinmie.
"You go 'long , " returned the cook ,
who had no manners but a good mem
ory.
.linimie got a basket for himself , and
started for the barn. When he came
back he looked smilingly at the cook.
Jiinmie never bore malice ,
"What's the matter with those ? " he
.demanded , triumphantly.
Cook saw an omelette , big enough to
go round , in those eggs , and returned
Jimmie's smile. Then she got a bowl
and broke an. egg !
They had bread and berries for
luncheon , and the table was spread
under the old apple-tree near the well.
Jimmie was not present at the meal.
His father said he would teach him to
play a joke like that ! Of course it was
not a joke , but Jimmie was too proud
to explain. Youth's Companion.

"I was just thinking about the stage

Times-Democrat , . Vand 1 was thinking
how much of the huuurousmss of it all
has disappeared within the last few
years , 'lime was when the actor or
actress could not do better than fake a
laugh , but that time is past. The people
ple Avho attend the theaters liave learn

tickled at all by the laughing of ai ,
