I had female trouble and would dailyhave faint ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your ad vice and rwlved a letter fall of lnctructioua tust what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health.

NDIAN LIQUOR CASES ON TAB everal Important Testa of the tw neeketed Before the Fed eral t'oart. The trial docket of the United States district court for the Msy term will In clude a large number Indian liquor cases. In which Indictments will be tried for in troducing liquor onto the Indian reserva tions, providing the United Ststes supreme court will deny the application tor a writ of habeas corpus lu the James Lincoln esse.

Lincoln wss indicted for tak ing liquor onto the Indian reservation, and It is held by the government that this is In violation of the guardianship and trus teeship laws of the government aa bearing upon the raae of the Indians. The attor neys for Lincoln hold the opposite view, and bsse their contention upon the Brewer decision, which gives to Indian allottees of lands the lights of any other cltlaon and the right to exercise the common functions of a cltisen, including the right to absorb as much liquor as he can hold, as welt as to absorb It at any point he may feel disposed, be It on sn Indian reserva tion or otherwise.' Lincoln was tried and convicted under the Indictment charging him with Intro ducing liquor onto the reservation, and .in appeal at once was taken to the United States surpreme court for a writ of habere corpus, and the hearing on this application will be held April 19. at Washington, the interests of the government being looked after by the Department of Justice, and those of the Indian by Thomss L. 81ns n. Upon the decision of the supreme court In this case will hinge the disposition of the several cases now pending In the United Ststes district court at Omaha, either for trial ot dismissal.
