A club Mrs. Dan-
_ prominent woman , . - _
forth , of St. Joseph , Mich. , tells how she
was cured of falling of the womb and
its accompanying pains and misery by
Lydia E , Piniham's Vegetable Compound *
"DEAR Sins. PINKHAM : Life looks dark indeed when a woman
feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever
being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was
advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the
ivomb. The words sounded like a knell to me , I felt that my sun had
set ; but Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound came to me as
an elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my
good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine
daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for
the help I obtained through its use. " MRS. FLORENCE DANFORTH ,
1007 Miles Ave. , St. Joseph , Mich.
A medicine that has restored so many -women to health and
can produce proof of the fact must be regarded with respect. This
is the record of I ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , which
cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro
duced. Here is another case :
"DEAR MRS. PIXKHA I : For years I was
troubled with falling of the womb , irregular
and painful menstruation , leucorrhoea , bearing-
down pains , backache , headache , dizzy and
famting spells , and stomach trouble.
"I doctored for about five years but did
not seem to improve. I began the use of your
'medicine , and have taken seven bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound ,
three of Blood Purifier , and also used the
Sanative Wash and Liver Pills , and am now
enjoying good health , and have gained hi flesh.
I thank you very much for what you
have done for me , and heartily recom
mend your medicine to all suffering
women. " Miss EMMA SNYDER , 218 East.

fHE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
EXPOSITION IN BRIEF
Idea was born in 1898.
It commemorates the. centennial of
Louisiana purchase from France , 1803.
U. S. purchased that strip of tejjri-
tory , Gulf of Mexico to Canada , iafhd
from Mississippi river to crest of the
Rocky Mountains.
The Mississippi valley belonged to
France by right of discovery and ex
ploration.
Louisiana was ceded to Spain , secret
treaty 1702 , and 37 years later returned
to France at the demand of Napoleon
Bonaparte , Oct 1 , 1800.
President Thomas Jefferson purchased
Louisiana territory , outlined above , of
Napoleon for $15,000 000 , who used the
funds for equipment of his armies.
The treaty was signed at Paris April
80 , 1803.
Louisiana territory embraced 1,000,000
square miles.
In 1898 , following an editorial in a
St Louis paper that the greatest centen
nial event of the age should be celebrated
In a fitting manner , Gov. Stevens of Mis
souri called a delegation from the States
now constituting the Louisiana territory
at St. Louis , Wan. 10 , 1899.
Ninety-three delegates voted unani
mously to hold an exposition , interna
tional in its scope , in St. Louis.
The U. S. government was invited to
assist , and it ] was settled to spend $15-
000,000 in completing the exposition , the
amount of the original purchase. The
government paid one-third , St Louis one-
third and the balance was raised by pub
lic subscription.
Trees were felled , hills were leveled ,
the course of the river , De Peres ,
changed.
Aug. 20 , 1901 , President William McKinley -
Kinley issued a proclamation inviting the
world to participate in the mammoth ex
position.
The grounds cover 1,240 acres , an area
two miles long and one mile wide , nearly
twice as much as the World's Colum
bian Exposition at Chicago.
The main exhibit palaces at St. Louis
have tinder roof 128 acres.
When the time arrived for the com
pletion of the exposition it was found
necessary to postpone it another year.
Nations were asking for more space' for
their exhibits and the affair had been
multiplied in its proportions until at the
time of its completion now , it has cost
about 50.000,000 , and is the largest ex
position ever given on earth.
SECRETARY TAFT'S SPEECH.
Secretary of War Taft , in his speech
at the opening of the St. Louis world's
fair , said :
"From each of the great expositions
of the world can be dated the world's
familiarity with some marvelous inven
tion so quickly adopted in our life that
the change that it effected has almost
passed from memory. And while the
buildings and the machines and the con
gresses and the beauty and the glamor
and the pomp of such a celebration and
exposition as this shall pass into mem
ory , and every material evidence disap
pear , the measurement that they make
of progress , noted as it is in the history
of the world , becomes a benefit to man
kind , the value of which cannot be ex
aggerated.
* 'We have at this , the centenary of
the purchase of Louisiana , entered upon
another and a different kind of expan
sion , which involves the solution of oth
er and different problems from jthose pre
sented in the Louisiana Purchase. That
they may not and probably will not be
solved by conferring statehood upon the
new territory is probable.
"Augurs of ill and ruin to follow from
the experience and the solution of the
problem are not wanting , but they never
have been wanting in the history of this
country , and they never have been al
lowed to control the fearless grappling
of new problems by Americans. We have
probably reached a period , in the great
wealth and power , which we have" achiev
ed as a nation , in which we find our
selves burdened with the necessity of
aiding another people to stand upon its
feet and take a short cut to the freedom
and the civil liberty which we and our
ancestors have hammered out by the
hardest blows. For the reason that this
centennial of the Louisiana purchase
marks the beginning of the great Philip
pine problem , the government of the Phil
ippine Islands has felt justified in ex
pending a very large sum of money to
make the people who come here to com
memorate the vindication of one great
effort of American enterprise and expan
sion under the conditions which surround
the beginning of another.
"Those who look forward with dark
foreboding to the result of this new ad
venture base their prophecies of disas
ter on what they think is the weakness
of the American people. Those who
look forward to its success base their
judgment on what has already been ac
complished in the islands , and on what
they know the American nation can do
when an emergency and an inevitable
necessity present themselves. Without
being blind to the difficulties or the dan
gers , it gives me the greatest happiness
to know and to say that the President of
the United States , whom I unworthily
represent to-day , is glad to take his stand
among those who believe in the capacity
of the American people who , aroused by
the call of duty , to solve any problem
of government , however new , which' de
pends solely on the clear-headedness , the
honesty and the courage , the generosity
and the self-restraint of the American
people. "

" A VALUABLE PREPARATION , "
"PE-RU-NA
, WRITES DR. KEMBALL.
Most of the Ailments Peculiar to the

of the Pelvic Organs.

graduate of the University of Buffalo ,
class 1884 , and has been in the prac
tice of medicine in that city since
then. She writes as follows :

"My conviction , supported by

t J. Kemball , M. D.
< \
Peruna has cured thousands of cases
of female weakness. As a rule , how
ever , before Peruna is resorted to several
other remedies have been tried in vain.
A great many of the patients have taken
local treatment , submitted themselves
to surgical operations , and taken all
sorts of doctor's stuff , without auy
result.
The reason of so many failures is the
fact that diseases peculiar to the female
sex are not common-
,
Female Trouble

Catarrh. ing caused by ca
as
tarrh. These organs
are lined by mucous membranes. Any
mucous membrane is subject to catarrh.
Catarrh of one organ is exactly the
same as catarrh of any other organ.
What will cure catarrh of the head will
also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs.
Peruna cures these cases simply because
it cures the catarrh.
Most of the women afflicted with pel
vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is a dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body ; throat ,
bronchial tubes , lungs , stomach , kidneys
and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
covery after a long siege of useless treat
ment. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh , and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna ,
write at once to Dr. Ilartman , giving a
full statement of your case , and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

Straw hats are to be made in future of
