THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkhem.

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:

a TRAGEDY OF THE WAR.
Physician Driven to Death by Overwork
and Malicious Accusations.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
One of the saddest of all the tragedies Of
the war is the death of DR.. George w.
Lindheim, which occurred this morning
at his home in this city. A few days ago
q savage attack was made ON Oh. Lind
helm by certain newspapers, among 9TH
ers, one in this city, based upon charges OF
cruelty and insompetenoy in the treatment
of the sick of the Eighth Regiment of
New York Volunteers, who were brought
from Chiokamauga to this city under
DR.. Lindheim's charge.
He was accused of heartlsssness because
he refused to allow Cleveland surgeons to
profanity because he was angry with the
Cleveland physicians for making this re-
quest.
Dr.. Lindheim may have been profane,
but subsequent experience shows that be
was far from heartless. He brought the
ab6 sick men to this city, delivered them
to the hospitals or to their friends, and
every one of them is either well or conval-
escing; his, alone is dead.
The charges of cruelty and heartless-
ness com Dlneu WIN 6no 6XnauSI1On OCCsiS-
fonef by his ineessant care of these men
developed acute typhoid, and in his delir-
ium, which lasted five days, he spoke only
of the men under his charge and of the
attacks which have Deen made upon him.
He told his friends that he charges were
due to the enmity Of Cleveland news
paper man who threatened to roast him"
IL he did not permit some of the soldiers to
be left in Cleveland. He did not permit
this to be DONE and he was, as he said,
cruelty "roasted. F." He seems to have been
roasted to death. to crafty personal spite
OF this kind.
Physicians here say that DIR. Lindheim' g
management of the sick WAS brilliantly
successful, and in every case where sol.
diers were committed to the care either
of hospital authorities OF of family physi-
clans the report was that under DR.. Lind
helms charge everything possible for the
men had been done. Certainly the recov-
cry of all of them justifies that opinion.
Here, then, was a case where soldier
was not a plartyr to the alleged In compe-
tence or to the red tapeism of any one
connected with the War Departments. but
was brought to his deathbed by his own
fidelity to duty and by the wicked accusa-
tions made against him by irresponsible
persons.

MISCELLANEOUS
INTENSE SUFFERING
kPOsm Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and PermentIy cured
by stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, But not Patent
Medicine.

DIR. Redwcll relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new sdiscoV-
cry, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seem
ed to sour and create acid and gases In
the stomachs he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating.

became affected, causing palpitation and
sleep essness at night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies. but to no purpose. As
an experiment l finally bought fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at a drug store and gave them to
him. Almost immediate relief was given
and after he had used four boxes he was
to all appearance fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery rising, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he. has
gained between 10 and II pounds IN
weight of solid, healthy flesh.

QUEER OHIO LIGHTNING.
A Bolt from a Cloudless Sky That Killed
Black Sheep Only.
IN. Y. SUM


" Almost singular freak of lightning
occurred on my farm and in it's Vicinity
one day in A ugust," said William Arndt
of Van Vert county. ga thunderstorm
had passed over the locality Just before
noon and the clouds had nearly all broken
away or rolled of to the southwark. The
sun had come out and all uneasiness over
the storm had passed when a terrific
thunderolap, SO close to the earth that it
trembled as if from an earthquake, broke
from the cloudless MONDAY sky.
II had flock of forty sheep in a pas
ture short distance from my farm
house, and they had huddled together
under big maple tree in the field while
the rain was falling. They we're still
there when the great thunderclap broke
the stiffness succeeding the storm. Eigh-
teen Of. the sheep were black. I found
that every one Of them had bean killed by
the strange lightning, while not one of
the other sheep was injured. Each dead
sheep had q round hole in the back Of it's
neck, around which the wool was burned
away. The killing of the eighteen black
sheep was the extent of the damage done
on my farm. On an adjoining farm a
flock of sheep was standing in circle.
and every sheep on the koutside row was
killed, twenty in ALL None of the rest
was hurt. On another farm a flock of
sheep, among which was big black ram,
the only black one in the flock. was in
pasture, huddled about the big ram.
The ram was found dead in the field
with burned hole in his neck and his
black fleece had been turned as white by
the shock as that of any sheep in the
flock.
ION the Ruling farm, just north of
mine, there were six horses in the barn,
occupying stalls in the row. There was
no mark on the barn showing where the
electric fluid entered. but the horse stand
ing nearest the end of the barn and the
third and fifth shorses from him were
found dead, round hole in each ones
right side, with the hair singed aroundit,
showing the cause of death. The sixth
horse was tied in his manager by b small
chain fastened to the headgear of the hal
ter. This chain was melted SO that the
links were fused into solid mass. The
buckles on the harness Of horse that had
been hitohed to a buggy just before the
thunderclap came were melted out of
shape, and wherever one touched the horse
its shape was branded on the animals
skin.
"The places where these strange freaks
of lightning occurred were far apart, the
Ruling farm being two miles from mine,
but that the single terrible MONDAY thun-
derbolt was the cause of all there could be
no doubt, as all the thunder and lightning
of the storm that preceded the oloudless
electrical phenomenon we're at q distance
and could have done no damage in these
localitiea

ESPECIAL TO THE pRKssAl

all of which has been paid to the treas
urer.
In accordance with vote of the March
meeting, the secretary and Mr.. Plummer
of Bath, after careful consideration of
the matter, concluded to print and cirou-
dress upon ''Our Merchant Marine"
at cost not exceeding for printing
and circulating $44. 90. Early in April
copies were mailed to each member of
the Executive Council and later to such
other parties as the committee thought
might be interested in the subject matter.
In view of the apathetic condition of
some of the boards in the State might
it not be well for the representatives of
this central organization to do little
personal missionary work in the way of
bracing up and infusing life and courage
into such organizations as are suffered
by Incompetent officials to aimlessly drift
along? Good live boards of trade can,
and are, doing much good in many quite
small towns, and there is large room for
more just now in our State, where some
of our best seaport, as we'll as inland
towns and cities are suffering and halt1ng
for the want of good and every day board
of trade work. This is q State interest
not to be overlooked by this organization.
The Bureau of Statistics, through its
Office at Portland, has distributed by
mail and Otherwise large quantities of
guides, railroad time tables, and great
variety of tourists and sportsmen's litera-
ture. for information sought by visitors
entering for every section of the State,
and where also many special inquiries
have been answered as to suitable locali-
ties for persons and families seeking GER
tain specific surroundings of seaooast,
boating, bathing or inland fishing, hunt
ing or country farmhouse summer outing
locations, and how to reach them, The
uncertain outcome of the war deferred
many from leaving their homes and bus
mess early in the season, but later events
and hot weather brought large numbers
more coming here in August than for
any previous year of the same month.

BOYS LEG CUT OFF.
John Burke, a Nine Boy,
Was Crawling Under Cars When
They were Set in Motion.

John Burke. the 9-year-old son of
Michael j. Burke, proprietor of the
Eureka house at the corner of Provi-
dence road and Diamond avenue, was
injured on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad near the Roaring
Brook dam at 6 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, and his right leg was so
badly crushed under the wheels of a
car that amputation had to be done at
the Lackawanna hospital.
The shock and loss of blood rendered
it doubtful for a time what the out
come of the.case would be, but toward
midnight he rallied well and his
chances for recovery are more assur-
ing.
The boy and some companions were
swimming in the dam. On their way
home they met a train of cars that had
come to a standstill. Burke got down
to crawl underneath a car and as he
did the train started up. Before he
could get out of the way his right leg
was crushed. The Moses Taylor hos
pital ambulance was summoned and
also that of the Lackawanna. He was
brought to the latter place. Amputa-
tion was made above the knee. 1t was
impossible to save that joint.

LETTER TO ADMIRAL CERvERA.
Was Mailed in This City But Can
not Be Delivered.

There is n letter that was written
by resident of this city addressed to
Admiral Cervera, late commander of
the late Spanish fleet, that in all prob
ability he will not receive. Postmas-
ter Ripple received from the postal au-
thorites at Washington yesterday, the
letter addressed to Admiral Cervera.
On the left hand corner of the en-
velope was the following: Return to
sender If located. Letters to Spanish
prisoners must not he sealed. and must
he addressed in care of the secretary
of the navy, Washington, d. c." II
the sender of the letter does not cay
for it within thirty days it will be
forwarded to the dead letter Office at
Washington. There it will be opened
and probably be returned again to this
city.
The envelope containing the letter to
Cervera is plain one. The penman-
ship is neat and is probably that of II
woman.
