Painful Impressions.

A remarkable characteristic of the

For Weak

MRS. LYDIA E. P1NKHAM: "About the
first of September, 1881, my wife was taken
with uterine h~emorrhage. The best styp-
tics tho physician could prescribe did not
check it and she got more and more en-
feebled. She was troubled with Prolapsus
Uteri, Leucorrhea, numbness of the limbs,
sickness of the stomach and loss of appe-
tite. 1 purchased a trial bottle of your
Vegetable Compound. She said she could
discover a salutary effect from the first dose.
Now she is comparatively free from the
Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, &c. The
hemorrhage is very much better and is
less at the regular periods. Her appetite
is restored, n her general health and
strength are much improved. We feelthat
we have been wonderfully BENEFITED and
our hearts are drawn out in gratitude for
the Same and in sympathy for other suf-
ferers. for whose sakes we allow our names
to be used.o

into him, scizing him by the shoulder,
and refused to let go. The hunting
dog, badly frightened, howlcd and
struggled with terror, and tried to pull
away, but tho bulldog held on to him
with death grip. Tho hunting dog
dragged him. by tho teeth in his flesh,
across the road to his own home, howl

the aggrcssor let go by kicking him,
but this didn't make him wink. Ho
then rushed for u pitchfork, and drove
the tines plump into him twice. He
still showed no signs of letting 60.
Mrs. Smith then ran for an AK, and
gave the brute two solid blows with tho
head Of it, the second one having tho
desired effect. The dog let 90, and
seemed to feel quite sick. He had got
his dcath wounds, and ere long he
died. While Smith was plunging the
fork into him, the jaws of the dog did
not remain liked, but would momcntar-
