q moment Every one knew, of course, that
this was u direct allusion to Disraeli.
Thon one of the company stepped into the
breach.
"Mr. Gladstone" he said, "as q matter
Of fact the Hebrews have produced states
man, ana one of tho greatest the world
has seen"
The fighting instinct OF Mr. Gladstone
surged up at once. May ask, sir, he
said pointedly, "who was this Hcbre"

Every one, anticipating more thar
lively scene, waited in tense expectation
for tho answer 1t came i'll tho quotes

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
cid before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
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 a
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 leucorrhoa. ]
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that I never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhma. I 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 ailine
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn.
Mass, for advice about their health.
