how they were saved by, the use of
Lydia-K Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I am so pleased with the results obtained
from Lytlia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I feel it a duty
and a privilege to write you about it.
"I suffered for more than five years with ovarian troubles, caus
ing an unpleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness
would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise
seemed to correct Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot,
Tiowever, within a few weeks and saved me from
ail my troubles had disappeared, and I found myself once more healthy
and well. Words fail to describe the real, true, grateful feeling that is
'in my heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don't
dally with medicines you know nothing about, but take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and take my word for it, you will be a
different woman in a short time." Mrs. Laura Emmons, Walker
ville, Ont.
Another Case of Ovarian Trouble
Cured Without an Operation.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: For several years I
troubled with ovarian trouble and a minful
i inflamed condition, which kept me in bed part
the time. I did so dread a surgical operation.
"I tried different remedies hoDine: to eret better.
nothing seemed to bring relief until a friend
who had been cured of ovarian trouble, through
the use of your compound, induced mevto try it. I
took it faithfully for three months, and at the end
of that time was glad to find that I was a well
woman: Health is nature's best gift to woman,
anu ii you lose it ana can nave it restored,
through Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound I feel that all suffering women should
know of this." Mrs. Laura Belle Cole-
.
( It is well to rememember such letters as' above when some druggist tries
to pet you to buy something which he says is " just as good " That is impos
sible, as no other medicine has such a record of cures as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound ; accept no other and you will be glad.
Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything
about your sickness you do not understand. Sh6 will treat you
with kindness and her advice is free. No woman ever regretted
writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass.

Employe of Robinson Carnival Com
mits Suicide at Albany, Ga.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 8. Albert Falk-
ner, employed in the Electrical Palace
with the Robinson Carnival here this
week, committed suicide last night.
He was round hanging by a rope
from a cross-beam of the tent a
o'clock this morning.
Evidently he had been dead several
hours. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict of suicide. Falkner joined the
company at Dewagnoe, Mich., but his
home was Alexandria, Ind. No cau3e
is known for the suicide, except he
had been drinking.

King's Christmas Gifts.
That portion of the fashionable
world which can afford Christmas
gifts is watching the purchases of the
members of the royal family in order
to follow suit. King Ed-ward's gifts
this year run largely to pen and pen
cil holders, cigarette cases and deli
cate enamel work set with a new va
riety of soft-tinted, semi-transparent
stones heretofore unknown in the
realm of jewelry. Queen Alexandria
is also oartial to enamel work. This
year she is giving many photographs j
in artistic enameled frames, whereas
the late Queen Victoria usually favor
ed silver for the same purpose. Queen
Alexandria' well known fondness for
pearls leads her to distribute many of
them among her more intimate friend
at the Christmas season.
The king of Portugal made hdmaelf
decidedly popular during his stay in
England, besides proving himself one
of the best shots in Europe, a keen
motorist, a clever painter and a good
musician. During his visit to Blen
heim palace he treated the house par
ty there to a number df French love
songs and Portuguese ballads.
Profitable Theatrical Season.
It is long" since the London theaters
and restaurants have experienced so
profitable a season as the present. The
West End is ablaze with light night
y, all the amusement places are
crowded and theater supper parties
keep the fashionable hotels and res
taurants busy until long after mid
night. In the meantime the board
of trade returns show the largest per
centage for ten years past of unskilled
persons out of work, while the pro
portion of skilled men without employ,
ment i constrantly growing. The
Woolwich arsenal authorities have dis.
charged 2,000 mechanics since the
winter set in and are preparing to let
out 4,000 more. So the army of peo
ple out of work must be added to the
5-,000 members of the army reserve
who have been released from service
with the colors. The worst distress
naturally is visible in the East End. A
number of newspapers have started
subscription columns and daily print
harrowing stories of half-clad school
cndldren, many of whom are without
any food except scanty luncheons fur
nished by sympathetic teachers. A
number of London suburban councils
are starting public works in order to
employ a small portion of the idle
persons.

British "Captain Thinks Late Mutineers
Are on Pitcairn Island.
New York. Dec. 8. The captain o!
the British Bhip'Howth, ftxnn Austra
lia, reports, according to a Herald
dispatch from San Francisco, that on
Sept. 25, when off Pitcairn island, fire
signals were noticeable. H saya
he made every effort to take his ship
in, but he was baffled in his attempts
by the severe weather.
The captain is of the opinion that
the mutineers of the Leiscester Castle,
whose story was told yesterday in a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Queemstewn, had reached Pitcairn is
land, and that the signals were due
to the desire of the inhabitants -to get
rid of the undesirable visitors.
The Leicester Castle shipped 14
men . at this port. These men signed
fore the vessel sailed out of the bar
ooncul on July 25, last, the day be
fore the vessel calle dout of the har
bor. Among these men were James
Turner with Hobbs and EL Sears, and
they were the only Americans among
the crew.
They were shipped at a time when
sailors were scarce in the port and
Captain Peattie refused to pay the
regular shipping masters the price
they asked for the men. The 14 men
were picked up at various places along
the water front, on street corners and
in saloons.

Boiling Water Used In Treatment
of Tumors.
New York, Dec. 8. After tests cov
ering two years, a physician of this
city has announced a new method' for
treating tumors. Itvjs by the use ol
boiling water. He uses a syringe
with a metal cylinder and adjustable
piston, with needles of varying size.
Using the ordinary asceptic precau
tions, water is taken directly from a
cauldron and injected into the sub
stance of the tumoT. The water must
be at a temperature of from 190 to
212 degrees Fahrenheit, or even higher.
The water, he says, should be hot
enough to coagulate the blood and the
albuminoids of the tissues immediate
ly, but it should not be forced In
so extremely hot, and under such
pressure as to scald and produce a ne
crosis of the skin. During the treat
ment the patient is put under the !n

Three Roads to Enter St Joseph
from Kansas City.
St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 8. The
zette this morning says:
Three railroads will enter St. Jo
seph in the near future over a new
double track from Kansas City. The
'Frisco system and the Alton an i
the Wabash are the lines that will
secure valuable terminal facilities ic
this city through the terminal compa
nies' connection.
The distance between the two cities
is reduced to 47 miles.
The commerce of the Missouri val
ley according to financiers will be
greatly benefited by the increase o
transportation facilities.
The packing and jobbing interests
of this city will receive an impetus
greater than any known in Its history,
Along the route feeding farms for
live sjtock will be established by the
joint companies.
