Miss Nellie Holmes , treasurer of the'
Young Woman's Temperance Association
of Buffalo , N. Y. , strongly advises all suf
fering women to rely , as she did , upon
Lydia E , Pinfcham's Vegetable Compound *
J'pEAB MRS. PINKHAM : Your medicine is indeed an ideal woman's
medicine , and by far the best I know to restore lost health and strength. I
suffered misery for several years , being troubled with menorrhagia. My back
ached , I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often
wake from restful sleep , and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians , hoping to get relief , but , finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me , I tried your Vegetable Compound
on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me.
" I am glad that I followed her advice , for every ache and pain is gone ,
and not only this , but my general health is much improved. I have a fine
appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is
to put away all other medicines and to take ] Dydia E. Piiikham's Vege
table Compound. " Miss KF.T.T.TK HOLMES , 540 No. Division St. , Buffalo , N. Y.
Jliss Irene Crosby , prominent in Social Life in East
Savanah , Ga. , adds her testimonial to the value
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
DEAB MRS. PINKHAM : "It always gives
me pleasure to find an article of real value
and unquestioned merit. I have found
ILydia 13. Piiikham's Vegetable Com
pound well calculated to relieve and cure
the various troubles arising from irregulari
ties and menstrual pains.
" Much suffering could be spared if we
only paid more attention to proper living and
diet , but as long as women do not do this ,
your Vegetable Compound has come to
the front as a true friend in need. I have
been very pleased indeed with the relief it
has broujrbt. TOG. I find that I have perfect
health now , and that my mind is also more
clear and active since I used your Vege
table Compound. It has been of great
benefit to me , and I gladly recommend it.
Very sincerely yours , Miss IRENE CROSBY ,
313 East Charlton St. , East Savannah , Ga. "

BEST FOR THE BOWELS
USE OF BITTER APPETIZERS.
tnflnoncea of Them on the Procesaes
of Digestion.
What Js the logic of the bitter ap-
flotizers that axe commonly taken just
before the heavy meals of the day both
to this country and abroad , asks the
London Lancet The object is appa
rently to stimulate the secretion of gas-
Iric juice , but it has been suggesiea
that it would be more physiological to
make use of a small quantity of alkali
Instead , as that is known to exercise
a favorable influence upon peptic se
cretion.
The chief objections to the use of.
bitters have been based on researchei
by Tchelzov , who found that the ad
ministration of large doses of quassia
hliidered rather than helped the diges
tive process. Relchmann , moreover ,
showed that in the fasting stomach ,
the secretory activity of which is nor
mal or diminished , a bitter drink pro
duced less secretion of gastric juice
than a draft of distilled water. These
experiments take account solely of the
specific action of the hitters , and do
not regard their reflex effects.
These have been particularly studied
by Borlssov , whose results are an
alyzed in a recent number of La Se-
maine Medicale. Borissov found that
If a little wad of wool soaked in tinc
ture of gentian was put into the mouth
( of a dog ) immediately before food was
administered a marked stimulate effecl
upon gastric secretion resulted , but if
the bitter was used fifteen or thirty
minutes before the meal it was quite
Inefficacious. It is concluded , there
fore , that these substances have tha
power of rendering gustatory sensa
tions more acute and of exercising a
temporarily stimulant effect upon gas
tric secretions ; for this purpose tney
Bliould be given immediately before tha
meal in small doses and in the form ol
tincture ( ten to twenty drops ) rather
than cachets or pills.
We rn'ay remark upon this that tha
habit is obviously susceptible of abuse ,
particularly when , as is usually the
case , some strong alcoholic liquor ig
used as the vehicle of the bitter. Aa
a matter of fact , such a stimulant
action is 'the real function which i3
intended to he subserved by the soup
which is taken at the beginning of a
meal. There is a tendency to consume
this in somewhat large quantity ; in
such cases it tends to be harmful rath
er than conducive to digestion ; bu <
there can be no doubt , on the othei
hand , that the use of a tabtespoonful
or two of a hot and sapid fluid at thq
beginning of a meal is an excellenj
means of giving the stomach a fair
start in the performance of Its funo
tlons.
Kills TTolf with Hands.
Elliott Terry , a 13-year-old boy of
Boxelder County , Utah , is the hero of
a desperate encounter with a big gray
wolf. The lad emerged victorious from
the conflict with nothing more serious
than a flesh wound in the leg to re
mind him of it.
With his 5-year-old brother , Eddie ,
Elliott was hunting squirrels. He was
armed with only a 22-caliber rifle. In
a clump of bushes the lads were at
tacked by a wolf , unusually large for
his species in this State. The younger
boy took refuge in flight , while Elliott
gave battle to the wolf. The animal ,
evidently having been driven down
from the mountains by the snows , was
ferocious. The boy fired a shot from
his toy rifle and before the wolf
reached him had discharged the weap
on twice more. All three bullets took
effect , but not sufficiently to disable
the animal , which-leaped at the hey
and fastened his fangs in the young
ster's leg.
Elliott , being unable to fire another
shot because of the close quarters ,
grappled with the beast , seizing it by
the throat. The animal snarled and
snapped viciously , but the lad held Ms
grip tightly , dropping his rifle and ap
plying all his strength with both hands
in an effort to shut off the wind of hia
antagonist This style of defense
proved effective , the wolf finally losing
strength and ceasing to struggle.
While the wolf lay gasping iipon the
ground the lad dispatched it by cutting
its throat with a pocket knife.
Shattering All Illusion.
The Ohio and Mississippi rivers were
bank-full. In the pilot house of the
steamboat as it drew near the landing
at Cairo , stood a traveler from the
East taking his first view of the thriv
ing city that stands at the junction of
these two mighty rivers , alwajs an ob
ject of interest to tourists.
"And this , " he said , speaking more
to himself than to anjbody else , "ia
the spot where Dickens' 'Martin Chuz-
zlewit' landed , away back in the for
ties 1"
The grizzled old pilot turned to him
incredulously.
"Mister , " he responded , "I've trav
eled this river , man an' boy , fur the
last sixty year , an' I hain't never seen
no boat o' that name. Somebody's
> een foolin' ye. "
Simplicity in Toys.
It is a pity that such a great variety
of toys are given to the modern child
to play with. Everything comes to hig
hand ready made , and leaves almost
nothing to his own creative genius. A
few simple playthings made the child
just as happy , and much more h *
ventlve. Many a little one will spend
hours building houses and laying rail *
road tracks with a box of blocks foi
his material who will in a day cast
aside the most costly toy , if it euggesj
nothing new to his fancy.

PURE BLOOD
Blood Impurities of Springtime
Cause , Prevention
and Cure.
Dr. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was his recent-
lecture on the blood impurities of spring.
The doctor said in substance that ev
ery spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter , derang
ing the digestion , producing sluggish
ness of the liver , overtaxing the kid
neys , interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularly known as spring fever ,
spring malaria , nervous exhaustion ,
that tired feeling , blood thickening and
many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious , dys
peptic and constipated ; sometimes he is
