Mrs. w. L. Duckworth, of Thomson,
Clark County, Kentucky, who is
visiting here, has tried Ripans
Tabules and found them a good
thing. She used to suffer greatly
with headache, due, no doubt, to
indigestion and constipation, and
tried every kind of remedy, but
could find no relief until she began
using Ripans Tabules. The first
Tabule gave relief, and now
headache is stranger. The indi-

People overlooked the Importance of per-

that it is generally known that Syrup of

Man Who Would Not be Cautioned is
Muti1ated by Shell.
A Michigan farmer, named Lawrence,
who recently bought the noted old colo
near Williamsburg, Va, will probably
lose grown son by peculiar accident.
The young man was preparing to kill
hogs, and, seeking for something on
which to rest large iron boiler, found
an 100-pound shell that had lain about
the yard for many years and rolled it
in the fire. He was cautioned by a
colored boy, who, when the young man
persisted in putting it in the fire, pulled
out with rake. He showed it back,
and the boy took to his heels. In a few
minutes a tremendous explosion occurred,
and young Lawrence was frightfully mu>
tilated His arms have been amputat-
ed, and there is chance of his recovery.
The shell was one of the enormous pro-
jectiles fired from the federal gunboats
In James river in 1865.

A NEW FUEL.
Grease May be Substituted for Coal on
WarehinS.

Paul d'Humy, a French naval en-
gineer living in Liverpool has succeeded
in converting petroleum and other oils
into a hard, homogeneous mass, suitable
for use as fuel on board warships. He
claims that the cakes burn only On the
surface and give an intense heat They
can be made in any size or shape and
cannot evaporate or cause an explosion.
They require very little draught and
make not more than from 2 to 3 per cent
of ashes. A ton of this fuel, M. d'HIumy
says, represents at least thirty tons of
coal and the cost is not more than from
S. to SO per ton.-Argonaut.

AN INVITATION.
1t Gives Us Pleasure to Publish the Fol-
lowing Announcement.

1t Gives Us Pleasure to Publish the Fol-
lowing Announcement.
All women suffering from any form of
illness peculiar to their sex are requested
to communicate promptly with Mrs..
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and answered
by women only.
A woman can freely talk Of her private
illness to woman; thus has been es-
tablished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women of Ameri-
ca.
This confidence has induced more than
100000 women to. write Mrs. Plnkham
for advice during the last few months:
Think what a volume of experience she
has to draw from! No physician living
ever treated so many cases OF female
ills, and from this vast experience surely
it is more than possible she has gained
the very knowledge that will help your
case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. Ii her med1-
cine is not what you need, she. will frank
ly tell you, so, and there are nine chances
out of ten that she will tell you exact
ly what to do for relief. She asks moth
ing in return except your good VIII, ana
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or poor,
is very foolish if. she does not take ad-
vantage of this very generous offer OF
assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equaled that attained
by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable COM
pound and never in the history of Mrs.
Pinkham's wonderful Compound has the
demand for it been so great as it is to-
