A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases Intelligent Women Prepare
for it. Two Relate their Experiences.
The "change of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence ,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
Is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition ,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy , or congestion
of any organ , the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host of ner
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
.time , also , cancers and
Stumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp
toms as sense of suffo
cation , hot flashes , head
aches , backaches , dread
of impending evil , timid
ity , sounds in the ears ,
palpitation of the heart ,
sparks before the eyes ,
irregularities , constipa
tion , variable appetite , OOQflSQOOBfiafiaQoaEOOGO
weakness , inquietude ,
and dizziness , are
promptly heeded by in
telligent women who are
approaching the period
in life when \voinau's great change
may be expected.

pound was prepared to meet the needs

portant period women are invited to

Another Woman's Case
" During chaiige of life words cannot ex
press what I suffered. My physician said I
had a cancerous condition of the female
organs. One day I read some of the testimonials
menials of women who had been cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ,
and I decided to try it and to write you for
advice. Your meaicine made me a well
woman , and all my bad symptoms soon
disappeared.
" I advise every wowan at this period of life
to take your medicine and write you for ad
vice. " Mrs. Lizzie Hinkle , Salem , Ind.

The Dean Ontwitted.
A friend of Dean Swift .one day sent
i him a turbot for n present , by a servant -
, ant who had frequently been on simi
lar errands , but had never received
1 anything for his trouble. Having
piiued admission , he opened the study
door , and , putting the fish on the floor ,
cried out , rudely , "Master seut you a
turbot ! " "Young man , " said the Dean ,
rising from his easy chair , "is that the
\vay you deliver a message ? Let me
' teach you better manners. Sit down
in my chair we will change places ,
and I will teach you how to behave in
the future. " The boy sat down , and
the Dean going out , came up to 'the
door , and. making a low bow , said :
! "Sir , master presents his kind com
pliments , hopes you are well , and re
quests your acceptance of u small pres
ent. " "Does he ? " replied the boy.
"Return him my best thanks , and
here's half a crown for yourself. "
The Dead thus caught in his own trap ,
i laughed heartily , and gave the boy a
i crown for his ready wit. The teacher
as well as the scholar received a lessou
, that time. The boy certainly knew
enough to make his way through the
\ world.

"I suffered with eczema six months.
I had tried three doctors , but did not
get any better. It was ou my body
and on my feet so thick that I could
hardly put a pin on me without touch-
lug eczema. My face was covered ,
my eyebrows came out , and then it got
in my eye. I then went to another
doctor. He asked me what I tras taking -
; ing for it , and I told him Cuticura. He
said that was a very good thing , but
that he thought my face would be
marked for life. But Cuticura did its
work , and my face is now just as clear
as It ever was. I told all my friends
about my remarkable cure. I feel so

again came around , and asked if the
lady had any more sermons to sell.

"but why should you particularly want
sermons ? "
"Well , mum , you see I did so well
with them that I got here a month ago.
I got sick up in Altoona , and a preach
er there boarded me and my horse for
a couple of weeks for that box of ser
