NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
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.

public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain.

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 E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compounds; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. 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 a 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.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion Of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out, and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Ambassador to England to Succeed
Day When He Resigns.

Washington, Aug. l5.-It seems to be
settled that Ambassador Hay is to sue
coed Secretary Day when the latter be-
comes chairman of the peace commission.
The authority for this statement is I'M
official, but from a source which shows
that such is the determination OF the
president at present.
The indications are that Secretary Days
resignation from the state department will
be in and accepted within week. 1t is
understood that the president contem-
plates the appointment of Secretary Day
to a circuit judgeship after the work Of

Department President Mrs Marshall
obligated 100 comrades at the last State
Reunion. Six sisters were also obligated;
one of the latter is the mother, wife, sister

will greatly increase the already large
membership of this our banner Circle.
