two years with falling Of the womb,
leucorrh@a, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
two bottles of your Vegetable Com

wonderful. have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that am entirely cured. :"
Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. 800 Findley ST.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
For a long time I suffered with
chronic Inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
so weak was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians, and getting no relief, I had
given up all hope of being well
again when I read of the great good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. decided immedi-
ately to give it trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of Sanative Wash

deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. I have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which I am CRATE.

good work she is doing for our sex. /"

of young man who desired to be ap-

accompanied by his mother and was
taken in hand for examination by the

until the inspector observed:
"Of course you're aware you'll have

The Kaiser's Latest.

The German emperor has devised
new scheme for the encouragement Of
vocal music in the German empire. It
will be put into operation in 1899, and
it consists of a singing competition to
be held in different town every year.
Cassel has been selected for the first
competition, the chief condition Of
which is that each choir taking part
will receive an unpublished musical
composition about an hour before the
contest takes place. There will be no
accompaniment.
The kaiser's prize is valuable jewel,
and the president of the winning choir
will be allowed to wear it for year,
the name Of each singer being engraved
upon it.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tianal disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
nroves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows IN severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed TO de-
yelop the disease. What appears
TO be only bad cold will prove
moro difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
