AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that add my testimony to-
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhna badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until 1 could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very protuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
81 took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking twO-thirds of
the bottle 1 felt so much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles l felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
| fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

A mily of Soldiers.

OSBORN, O., Aug. 13.-At Springborc,
this county, resides Elias Vickers,
aged so. He was a soldier at the be-
ginning of the civil war, and four OF
his sons, William, Joseph, Jack and C.
c. Vickers, also served throughout the
war, the latter being a captain. A
son-in-law of the old gentleman was
also in the army. Three of his grand.
sons. sons of William Vickers, are now

was given TO Chief Clerk Michael, O
the state department, who had be-
3 poken it.
NJ. Th5ebaut secured that used by
the French ambassador.
Upon emerging from the white house
Secretary Day received the earnest
congratulations of the persons present
upon the conclusion of the protocol.
He stated that the peace commission
,ers who are to draw up the defnitive
treaty wonld not be appointed for sew
ez.al DAYS, but declined to indicate who
they would be.
AS the order to military and naval
commanders state further instruc-
Gen. Merritt will be directed to confer
with the Spanish comnandant at Ma
Mia to carry out the terms of the pro
tocol, and to occupy Manila imme-
'diatelv. Gen. Miles will put himself
in commun ication with the chief
authority in Porto Rico for the
purpose of having Spanish forces turn
over San Juan and other points to him
preparatory to evacuation. Owing to
conditions in Cuba the orders to Gen
Shafter to DE sent hereafter will be
much different than those to other gen.
erals. The navy department is also pre-
pairing orders to all commanders on
lines similar to the war department
order.
At 1880 o'clock the French ambassa-
dor received dispatch giving him full
authorization to sign the protocol
The dispatch was rather long and its
deciphering took some time.
An official statement for press publ
cations setting out the provisions of
the peace protocol was read and APP
proved at the ca binet session Friday.
1t does not give the text of the docu-
ment but details its main points and
provisions. The protocol is a reitera-
ton of the terms of the note given to
Spain, with very little difference in
the language of those terms, though
with considerable supplementary par
agraphs of an administrative nature.
The most substantial difference is in
regard to the evacuation of captured
territory. The note handed to Am bassa-
dor Cambon calls for immediate evacua-
ton of Cuba and Porto Rico while
the protocol leaves the time of evacu-
alton to be subsequently determined
upon, the design being to have the
date of withdrawal left to be fixed by
joint military commission of the
United States and Spain. The portion
of the protocol supplementary to what
is embodied in the note relates prin-
CT pally to the manner Of execution of
the provisions of the protocol.
The protocol provides for two COM
missions, first, the peace commission,
which will meet in Paris, and second,
the military commission, which will
meet in Havana probably within 10
days. The military commission will be
created Immediately on the signing of
the protocol. Its duties will be of
great Importance, 1t will settle the
details of the evacuation of the Span
ish armies from the West Indies and
will decide all questions relative to
the removal of submarine mines, the
immediate REIMBURSEMENT to the
United States of the great fortresses at
Havana, San Juan and other points
and the transfer of possession of Ma
Mia City itself.

sagasta Favors the Sale of the Philippine.

PARIS, Aug 13.-Sagasta is said to
favor the sale of the Philippines, so as
to avoid the necessity of sending. more
troops there, as the United States, it is
believed, will only take Manila and
the surrounding territory. Though
there is danger of European complica-
tions over such proposition, French
officials favor it, and suggest that the
United States buy the islands instead
of a European power, as this would
prevent complications.
