ABSOLUTELY _ NEEDLESS AGONY
Caused by Uterine Disorders and Cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
A great many women suffer Tvith a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary treat
ment. While the sj'mptoms seem to be
similar to those of ordinary indiges
tion , yet the medicines universally pre
scribed do not seem to restore the
ticnt's normal condition.
s. Pinkham claims that there is a
Irind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
derangement of the female organism ,
snd which , while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion ,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic ,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
also.As
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright , Brooklyn , N. Y. , who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes :
" For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
wlrirh so degenerated my entire bysteni that J
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous , and nothing that late
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures ,
but nothing seemed to help me. I uas ad
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound a trial , and was happily surprised
to linl that it acted like a fine tonic , and in a
few days I be an.to enjoy and properly digest
iny food. My recovery was rapid , and in
live weeks I was a well woman. I have rec
ommended it to many sufferingwomen. . " '
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsementor hassuch a record of
cures of female troubles , as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

JEWEL , DOLLY AND jj
THE FIRE KINO.
In the kitchen stove there is both
sentiment and significance. Not only
is it the centerpiece in the engine
room or tue Home , but to it the finger
of progress in domestic science is di
rected. Cooking utensils demonstrate
the first marks of development in the
civilization of the human race , and in
the kitchens of a nation are unmis
takable evidences of the nation's civil
ized or uncivilized condition. There
is an immense amount of sentiment
in a cook stove. It reflects the. per
sonality of the owner , and it stands
isr harmony or for disorganization , as
they ci > se may be. It speaks for the
carefn'i cook and for tnrift and intel
ligence , for the genius and the inge
nuity of its owner , and for the rise ci
plain cooking to the plane of domes
tic science.
This is the story of Jewel , Dolly
and the Fire King and all three are
stoves. Jewel was tne name of the
old stove at liome. Jewel was the
piece de resistance in the kitchen of
tEe homestead more than fifty years
ago. Jewelwas the very altar of
home. In a spacious sand-scoured
kitchen she reignea supreme , and
spoke for progress successor as she
w&s to the fireplace and the andirons.
Her oven was perched on top , and her
hearth was one glad , expansive smile.
Her breath came in one long , cheery
respiration that made the coals glow
red and setthe tea kettle to singing
in merry competition. What a hos
pitable dark cavern her oven , that
never failed In its duty to the family
larder ! In t'he evolution of her kind ,
Jewel s virtues have never been ex
celled. Never has any stove before
or since demonstrated such capacity
for furthering the efforts of a patient
cook , and Jewel's day was half a cen
tury ago. The pumpkin pie at
Thanksgiving , the turkeys at Christ
mas , the plum pudding , the seed cake
all were in harmony with Jewel's
character. Jewel entered into the
spirit of every festivity , whether it
was a dining function or a birthday
cake , or whether it was merely to
thaw out half frozen fingers and toes
whose owners involuntarily turned to
her for solace.
Jewel was well named. She was
t'he ' custodian of the family comfort ;
she entered into the jo.vs , and when
sorrow came she soothed. In her
dusky soul was love for her fellow
beings there was compassion and a
desire to be of service. How she
shone at company time ! She was as
spotless as her surroundings , an.I as
proud as any human thing proud of
her achievements , proud of the great
loaves of bread tinted a beautiful
golden brown. None better than she
knew when things were done to a
turn. Jewel and "ol black mammy"
were in league , and their partnership
triumphs were of daily occurrence.
How Jewel may have conducted with
out her domestic colleague I can not
tell. They understood each oth.er.
How it brings out the best in us to
be understood ! From Jewel there
emanated felicitous thought forces
that reach out now from the past ,
and have become sacred things.
'men came Dolly. I can see Dolly
now in memory as she looked when
first I saw her. Dolly was a range ,
and she was an alleged improvement
on Jewel. She was decorated here
and there with colored tiles , and her
name shone with silver letters on the
oven dcor. bue was the piece de re
sistance in the little kitchen once
owned by a young woman a bride.
Dolly was different from Jewel. She
had a reserved look tnat hinted at un
tried forces. Belonging to a later
generation than Jewel , she also stood
for progress. She wore ner ornate
and foolish decorations ostentatious
ly as some people wear badges that
mean nothing. Her gravity inspired
mo with awe , and there was no wel
coming smile to greet nte. There was
-hearthstone , and the oven was mis
placed. Like a subject of higher edu
cation and development , she seemed
to challenge me on the spot. I felt
the impertinence of her thought
forces. Should I prove capable ? An
tagonism was in the air. Should I
conquer , or would she ? Time would
tell. Time did tell.
Dolly proved to be a stubborn
wench. Howeverwise and noble my
intention. Dolly thwarted it from the
beginning. She refused to glow , or
'
she glowed tardily and purely for her
own amusement. Dolly was caprici
ous. Repeatedly she changed the din
ner hour , and defeating me at ever ;
turn , appointed a dinner hour to s > ui
herself. She despised me for my lack
of experience. The mere eager I be
came , the more stolidly indifferent
she. Spitefully she burned my fingers
Dolly was never cozy. Her tea kettle
never sang like Jewel's tea kettle
She objected to my dining functions
She had no sympathy whatever with
the sentiment of birthdays and their
attendant festivities. Whenever
snatched from her malicious embrace
the charred remains of what prom
ised so well until intrusted to her vin
dictive care , she gloated over my fail
ure and consequent distress. Dolly
and I invariably failed on our bread
If the bread was sour , then spitefully
she baked it to perfection. At other
times she incinerated it , or she floated
it over the sides of the pan anything
to reflect upon my efficiency. Dolly
and I fought bitterly for many months
and I now and then victorious , but
seldom.
Dolly was emphatically opposed to
my literary pursuits. If , after giving
her a task to pertorm , I took up my
book for a few moments of mental re
freshment , she-blazed up in the iive
liest manner. When she suspected I
had my pen in hand , then she did her
worst. I recall an experience with
her when we cooked prunes. After
placing the prunes over the fire in my
bright new saucepan I invoked the
muse in an adjoining room. Dony
had doubtless noted the room. Dolly
hud doubtless noted the preoccupied
expression of my eyes as I consigned
the new saucepan and its contents to
her care. No sooner was my back
tinned than she and the clock and the
prunes entered into a conspiracy , the
details of which are too harrowing to
relate. The prunes expanded , the
clock hands raced around the dial , the
fire fanned itself into a fury and
smoke , cinders and rum were the
combined result. Daring Dolly to foil
me thus , I prepared the second in
stalment of fruit , and in my sole re
maining stewpan placed the consign
ment to her care. Again , as soon as
my back was turned , Dolly steamed
up more fiercely tnan ever , and the
fragrance of parched fruit called me
from the land of dreams to the land
of realities. Such insubordination was
not to be tolerated , and the third in
voice of prunes was placed in my" pre
serving kettle , the one with the sa
cred porcelain lining. The details are
not pleasant to remember , mucli less
to relate , for again Dolly emphasized
her disapproval of my literary procliv
ities. Dolly mutinied once too often.
This was many years ago.
Since Dolly's day domestic science
has invaded the culinary realm. The
Fire King is a gas range , and he is a
development from Dolly's failures. He
represents progress , and he aims to
ward the solution of the servant prob
lem. He challenges the intelligence
of the expert. Brain has driven out
brawn , and calmly superior to the
perplexities of the past , he extends
his hand to the domestic scientist
with the silent assurance that he Avill
make rough paths smooth. He is in
sympathy with the technic of cook
ery. He understands high sounding
and scientific terms. He knows about
proteids and carbohydrates , and he
knows bacteria and a thousand things
unheard of in Jewel's time. He is a
masculine invader in the realm of
feminine inefficiency. How "ol' black
mammy" would scoff !
The kitchen has changed , too. The
domain of the Fire King is no thor
oughfare. The children find no re
sponsive smile on his face , no glow
that reflects in their own faces. He
is no inspiration to the story telling
that was a feature of Jewel's reign in
the evening when the work of the
day was done. Even the bread and
the pies and the cookies are no long
er made as they were in Jewel's day.
When did the Fire King ever achieve
a gingerbread man ; Whoever called
him the altar of home ? How "ol'
black mammy" would scoff ! What
would she do without the home senti
ment of which her kitchen stove was
a regular inspirer ! There is but lit
tle sentiment in science , and it is
from the well of sentiment that the
Lax on civilization is drawn. Karyot

THE LOON.
Some of the Peculiarities for Which
This Bird Is Noted.
The loon differs fron other birds in
a number of ways. I have reason to
think that many people are unaware
of some , at least , of those peculiari
ties. Tlie iucn has a hide as tougn
as an ox. and its feathers can not be
ilucked without first scalding the
bird as you would a hog. This inci
dent win give some idea of the tough
ness of the hide. About thirty-five
vears ago , when I was living in Micn-
gan , a loon 'was shot at with a shot
gun industriously all summer , with
out apparently doing him any harm.
In the fall I killed him with a rifle ,
ust to convince tne people that a
oon could be shot and killed. He
iad many times been shot at with a
ilie by the same people who had
ised a shotgun , and they had become
convinced that ne dove so quickly
.hat he dodged the shot in that way.
had seen them snoot at him a num
ber of times , and I could see the
splash of builet or shot in the water
jefore the loon dove. I ridiculed the
dea of the dodging , and that led to
uy shooting him to support my con
dition. When I skinned the bird I
found andcounted over a hundred
\"o. \j \ shot , all of them stuck to the
r" "
inside of the hide , and so doing him no
permanent harm. It is remarkable
that he was never hit in the eye , nor
sustained a broken wing.
Anotner thing peculiar to the locn
is that after the chicks are hatched ,
if the mother wishes to move far she
will make a shallow dive and come
up under her babies and swim off with
them on her back. The person that
succeeds in photographing her under
such conditions may well claim the
pennant. Only once have I seen a loon
shoulder her young , although for over
t\\emy years I lived in the part of
.Michigan where then tnere was the
best chance imaginable to watch
loons. Now the timber has been cut
off around most ot the lakes and such
favorable conditions for observation
no longer exist.
Although I have only once seen a
loon shoulder her babies , I have seen
her swimming with them on her back
many times. Once one swam within
twenty feet of me and never suspect
ed my presence.
One of their calls 'when sitting on
the water , 'for volume beats that of
any other bird or beast that I know
of. I have heard them in the night
when tney were more than five miles
distant , for tney only make that kind
of call from the water , and thereswas
no Jake in tnat direction short of
that distance. To say that the loon
is a very interesting bird is as mild as
I can express it. Correspondence in

- A DEEP WATER MAN.
FOP This Reason He Didn't "Scare"
When the Boat Hit a Sandbar.
Captain Coomers had sailed over
all the seven seas and the mighty bay
of Penobscot. Therefore he felt only
contempt for the little bug-shaped
steamer that carried passengers from
the mainland to the island resoits ,
which at tiiat time were just begin
ning to have a .summer population.
This was in the days when all good
sailing men locked on bteum craft as
mere landsman's toys. Their con
tempt was warranted by the habits
ot" the Belle of breaking down in mid-
channel , of steering off her course in
a wind , and of staying at dock dis
creetly when thpre was any "consid
erable breeze of air. "
In one passage across the bay she
fell foul of a current that pushed her
upon a sandbank. The passengers be
gan to rim for the boats anil hunt in
impossible places for life preservers.
Capr. Coomers sat on deck , his big
frame supported by a camp stool , and
his "game leg" stretched on another
camp stool. He sat still while the
others , crew and passengers , were
rushing about in futile activity. He
looked at the strip of island , then out
at the bay , then at the sky. Then
'ne resteu1 his chin on his chest and
studied the deck planking.
A passenger ran up to him and
cried : "Oh , captain , we are wrecked ! "
"Hum ? "
"We are wrecked. "
"Be we ? "
"Is there any danger ? "
Hum ? "
"Are we going to sink ? "
"Not fur in this water. "
"Aie you sure ? I'm atraid we we
shall all 1 > e drowned ! "
"Not if you're niore'n four feet
hign. "
The passenger seemed satisfied at
last and wen : awav. Cap1Coomers
resumed his gaze at the d ck. Pres
ently another uaaSfnqjpr saw ! iim.
"Oh , captain , I'm so ghid you re
here ! "
"So be I. "
"Think there's any danger ? "
"I ain't seen any. "
"Of course we we aren't far from
shore ? "
.NO. We're as ni0u as two lover ?
on a slopin' sofa. "
"Yen take it coolly ! "

1'outh'A Companion.
Might Have Been Suspected.
An elderly , well dressed citizen
halted in front of a shop door in Mar
ket street Monday night and waited
placidly for a car. A few feet above
his head an iron framework creaked
and from the framework fluttered a
fringe of canvas which announced
that magazines , periodicals , cigars
and tobacco were sold within , it was
an exposed spot. Other people , who
were also waiting , were huddled
aiound the corner of the building , , but
the subject of this bketch stood his
ground , apparently contentedith
his surroundings , although me snow
was sifting down on him at a furious
rate and piling up on his hat and
shoulders. "That's what comes of
having a good name , " said an amused
observer , pointing at the solitary fig
ure. "That man doesn't know they've
taken in that awning for the winter.
He sees that flapping border there and
thinks he's protected. All last sum
mer he stationed himself there and
kept out of the wet , but he hasn't no
ticed that they've reefed the canopy
and he'll never notice it unless he's
told. He's near-sighted. But he has
no bad habits and so he excites no
suspicion. IT I stood under that skel
eton of an awning three , minutes
everybody would pity me and some
body would come up and offer to help
me home. " Providence Journal ?

John W. Glenister. of Providence. R.
J. . champion long distance swimmer of

in this country and England. He has
used Peruna as a tonic and gives his
opinion of it in the following letter :
New York.
The Peruna Medicine Company ,
Columbus , Ohio :
Gentlemen "This spring for the
first time I have taken two bottles
of Pernna , and , as it has done me a
great deal of good , I feel as if I
ought to say a good word for its
worth.
"During the springtime for the
last few years , I have taken several
kinds of spring tonics , and have
never received any benefit what
ever. This year , through the ad
vice of a friend , I have tried Peruna
and It has given satisfaction.
"I advise all athletes who are

A THLETES realize the importance
IjL of keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be guod , the cir
culation perfect , bleep regular and
enough of it.
If the slightest eatarrh.il condition of
lungs or stomach is allowed to remain ,
neither digestion nor sleep will bo
strength-sustaining.
Those who lead very active lives ,
like athletes , with good muscular de
velopment , find the spring months
especially trying.
Athlotes everywhere praise Peruna
because they , of all men , appreciate
the value of a tonic that dispel.physi
cal depression.
The vocation of some men may al
low them to endure the depressing
feelings incident to spring weather ,
but the athlete must never allow him
self to get "under the weather. "
He must keep in the ' 'pink of condi
tion" all the time.
In order to do this ho must avail
himself of a spring tonic upon which
he can rely.
Therefore athletes are especially
friendly toward Peruna.
Peruna never fails them.
