NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that IL
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
q perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we. print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it Is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me- My troubles We're pain
full menstruation and leucorrh9a. /
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
/ never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that | never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. l hope these few
words may help suffering women
The present Mrs Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

These are the days when the fatherly
physician says to the nervous woman:
My dear Mrs. Blank, you simply must
leave town for few days. Don worry
about clothes, put few things into a
satchel and take the first boat. " So the
nervous woman who Is not ready TO
leave town prepares to follow his adj
vice. 1t is not pleasant experience if
one happens to be her husband or her
handmaiden. She piles everything she
wants to take with her in the middle Of
her dressing room and then she starts
off with, "What time did You say that

Again the women of conservative"
country are taking most unconserva
tive stand. The automobile furore in
Paris is spreading. A duchesse has passed
the necessary examination enabling her
to engineer the fashionable horsless We
hicle around the streets, and she did
this Notwithstanding the fact that the
papers she is required to make out
oblige her to tell her age. Others are
following her example. while the re-
putedly unconventional New York
woman has not thought of such thing.
There is even an appearance of wild
wickedness about horseless carriage
in the quiet Businesses of New York
when it merely has men for passengers.
There seems to be an Intoxicating sense
of doing something quite wild and un-
precedented i'll riding in a carriage
without the chaperoning pretense of a
big horse in front. Three young men
will be seen on the seat of one Of the
latter day vehicles, sitting very quietly,
but with the air of doing something
quite out of the ordinary to astonish the
natives, and it does. One or two will
ride ON the seat, while II third Tolls at
their feet smoking, and the crowd on
the street is delightfully."- shocked.
New York is still inclined to think
there is something very wild and rakish
about horseless carriage and as for a
woman engineering one-oh
American women are maligned. They
are housekeeping, home loving, club

desire for smoking car of their very
