NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is n matter of Importance
in every womans 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.
The foundation of woman's health is
a 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. PINKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it IS my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrh9a. 1
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. l now wish 10 say that / never
had anything do me so much good for
painful melstruation as Lydia L. Pink
hams Nege table Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me OF leucorrhGa. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinllham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years She worked side by
side with Mrs. lydia f. Pinkham. and
for sometime pas. has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
womer, during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

THE DIGNIFIED WOMAN.
She Was n Little Severe on the Curl
Gus Woman, but She Was
Provoked.

She is a dgnihed woman, and sometimes
she is overpOwering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
nifed woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dlgnitied woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the dignifed
woman, and she said
IL beg your pardon, madam, but | would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
''What?" exclaimed the dignified woman
"Wcll, explained the curious woman. my
friend in the next room and ! have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dignifed woman
The dignihed woman replied:
4 have not been operated upon yet"
on" said the curious woman, sympa,
thetically
No, am not familiar with operations, .
said the dignifed woman
The curious woman interrupted: They
are very successful here. Don't be wor
ried."
Il am wondering about an operation On
the brain, said the Gignifed woman, in a
very dgnifcd and distant manner. 81 won
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such a way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dudgeon
The dignihed woman was severe, it is true
but she was provoked to it.-St Louis Re
