 Women, therefore, notwithstanding their delicate organism, work longer and more closely than men.
 They do not promptly heed such signs as headache, backache, blues, pains in the groins, bearing down, " all gone" feeling, nervousness, loss of s1eep and appetite, whites, irregular or painful monthly periods, cold and swollen feet, etc, all symptoms of womb trouble, which, if not quickly checked, will launch them in sea of misery.
 There Is but one absolute remedy for all those ills. Any woman who has to earn her own living will find it profitable to keep her system fortified with this tried and true woman's friend. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound speedily removes the cause and effects a lasting cure.

Thirty persons have ex pressed an earnest desire to become Christians. Several persons not in the habit of attending public worship have been induced to become regular attend ants and several backsliders reclaimed The visitor has called on every family in the town, taken complete religious cen- sus, distributed Bibles and tracts where needed, conducted P evangelistic ser- prayer in more than 200 homes and have sought in the spirit of the Divine Master to lead men and women to personal ac- ceptance of Christ as their Saviour. He feels that his labor has not been in vain and that by the blessing of God much good has been accomplished. Pastors and people have been exceedingly cor dial toward the work and the visitor, and have expressed themselves in terms of warm commendation and apprecia- tion of the good accomplished. The visitor would make use of this opportu. nifty to express to the people of Wash. ington his deep gratitude for the uni formly kind and courteous treatment he has received from all without exception, and especially for the cordial hospital ity and encouraging words which have made his stay so pleasant and his labors seem so light. It would not seem amiss to say here that the society has at pres. ent seven visitors In different fields in the state and the reports from these fields without exception are encourag. ing and gratifying. There is great and pressing need of funds by the society to sustain this corps of workers and en- able it to extend it's most benefcent work into other fields that are white fol the harvest. The need is especially pressing just now in the closing days o1 our financial year which ends February 18th, 1897, as the society desires to enter upon the new year free from debt. Any amount small or large will be accept able and may be sent to Chandler E
 Miller, treasurer, Hartford. Will yol not aid us in this work of winning soul
 for the Master and distributing thu
 word of God in our beloved common
 wealth? The statistics are as follows:
