ABSOLUTELY
NEEDLESS AGONY
Caused by Uterine Disorders and Circd by
Lycia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo sjomp.und
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary treat
ment. AVhile the symptoms seem to be
limilar to those of ordinary indiges
tion, yet the medicines universally pre
Icribed do not seem to restore the pa
tient's normal condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
derangement of the female organism,
nd whicjj, 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
fclso.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case 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 1 smffored with dyspepsia
which so Regenerated my entire system that I
vas 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
ttomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. I was ad
vised to give Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a
I aw days I began,to enjoy and properly digest
tny food. My recovery was rapid, and in
Ire weeks I was a well woman. I have rec
ommended it to many suffering women."
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement, or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

It stimulates and improves appetite
and digestion, relieves thirst, and in
troduces water into the system; acts
as a laxative or astringent, stimulates
the kidneys and supplies the organic
salts necessary to proper nutriment.
Among the laxatives are tigs, prunes,
dates, nectarines, oranges and mulber
ries. The astringents are blackberries,
dewberries, raspberries, pomegranates,
quinces, pears, wild cherries, cranber
ries and medlars.
The kinds used for diuretics are
grapes, black currants, peaches, vhor
tleberries and prickly pears. The re
frigerants are red and white currants,
gooseberries, lemons, limes and apples.
Apples are useful as a stomach se

CANDLESTICKS.
In spite of the countless varieties of
paslittings and the beautiful and ar
tistic metahvork of electric light chan
deliers and table lights, there has al
ways been a conservative attachment
to the candlestick in all its varieties.
It is a singular example of the innate
tendency of everybody to cling to old
forms. The flaring gas flame never
lent itself, except in its present in
candescent form, to very artistic treat
ment, but the electric light from the
first showed its possibilities from a
decorative as well as a useful point
of view. As if to blot out the remem
brance of gas altogether, candlesticks
of silver and of brass have been adapt
ed with imitation candle and liame
sbaped globe for the electric light.
Fine brass hanging candelabi'n of old
Dutch design have been fitted in this
way in ballrooms. They have all the
elegance of candles with the advantage
that they do not drop wax on the
dancers beneath. New York Globe.
UNCOMFORTABLE CHAIRS.
The House Beautiful has a word to
say about uncomfortable chairs those
disappointing articles of furniture thai
are found in all the homes of the land.
'Uncomfortable chairs are an out
rage against tate and temper, yet they
exist in many fejrms. There is the chair
with the low wick that ends just
where support is most necessary.
There is the chair Avith the high seat
that should fce sold only with a foot
rest. Thera is the chair wifh the
carved back that should be accompan
ied by a head rest, for its displays at
the top on a line with the occupant's
cranium a buncJi of grapes or a ram
pant lion.
"There are other elrairs that might
be mentioned, chairs with arms that
are too high or so low that they are
of no earthly use; chairs that are so
wide in the seat that a cushion is
necessary -to fill out the space; chairs
with backs that are out of line and
throw the body too far forward. Cooks
should be willing to eat their own
dishes, and chairmakers should be
compelled to sit in their own chairs
or at least to 'try' them before sending
them out into the world. Some of the
mission pieces are built on dimensions
that would doubtless afford comfort
to a race of giants, but they scarcely
meet the needs of ordinary mortals.
As a rule the seats of the chairs are.
too high and those of the davenports
and settees too wide and often tog. low.
The colonial furniture makers were
masters of comfort. Their chains, with
few exceptions, are perfectly propor
tioned and extremely comfortable.
The old sofas and davenports are so
constructed that pillows to .brace the
human back are not necessary. The
wooden back is in its right place and
meets every requirement. Reproduce
lions of old pieces are not always ex
act in their dimensions. A free col
onial copy is usually a poor thing, hav
ing none of the grace of the original
and little of its comfort. Avoid re
productions unless they reproduce."

who lives in "Jxas. His plain, un

"I liad always had an intense preju
dice, which I can now see was unwar
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many 'ads.'
of drape-Nuts, nor tested the food
till last winter.
"While in Corpus Christ! for my
health, and visaing my youngest son.
who has four of the ruddiest, health
iest little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of drape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. I be
came exceedingly fond of it and have
eaten a package of it every week since,
and find it a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no ill ef
fects whatever, causing no eructations
(with which I was formerly much
troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea,
nor distress of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since I began the use of drape-Nuts
than I have been for ten years, and am
jio longer troubled with nausea and in
digestion." Name given by Tostum
