NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.1

A woman with the blues is very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical.
 The condition of the mind known as the blues," nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation.
 It is source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- indications of disease.
 Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. head the story of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for short time, that terrible flow stopped.
 "I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than have had for the past ter years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer- ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you"
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is a woman's remedy for wo- mans ills. More than Q million wo- men have been benefited by it.

ONCE BEFORE
Admiral Dewey Had an Eye on Cap
 turing Manila

Washington, August 7.-Chairman Moses, of the committee of one hundred having in charge the reception of Admiral Dewey on his arrival in Washington, which includes the presentation of the sword voted him by congress has received from the admiral a letter approving the plans under considera- tion for the affair."
 An interesting historical fact dating back to 1873 has come to light in which Admiral Dewey was the central figure Dewey, then a commander, was in com mand of the U. S. S. Narragansett. on the Asatic station, having taken charge of the vessel of March l. 1873. The vessel was on surveying duty when the Virginia trouble was precipitated and a war with Spain seemed imminent.
 Dewey wrote to the navy department re- questing that in case war declared he would be assigned to the duty of cap turing Manila. The peaceful settlement of the controversy with Spain avoided the ne- cessity for a hostile demonstration, but the interesting fact is that the doughty officer had his eye on Manila over a quarter of a century ago. A search will be made for the letter in the files of the navy department, and if found an effort will be made by the citizens committee to have 1t reproduced as a souvenir of the reception.

Vie of Wealthy New York Merchant
 Assassinated.


 New York, August Mrs. Annie Kronn- man was found by her husband in their home on Eighth avenue tonight uncon- scious with two five-inch gashes in the back of her head Beside her on the floor lay bloody hatchet. The fiat was in perfect or der, and the lady's jewelry, valued at sev- eral thousand dollars, had not been dis turbed.
 There was no evidence of a struggle. The woman had evidently been struck down while passing through the private hallway. Mrs kronnman was removed to the hos pital and up to a late hour had not regain ed consciousness. MT Kronnman is wealthy fruit commission merchant. Kronnman was permitted to visit Roose- welt hospital tonight. Afterward he was asked by the police to go to West Thirty seventh street station. He was informed that he was not under arrest, but that he was merely detained" To persons fa- miliar with local police methods this means the equivalent of being arrested.

His Is the underlying principle of all

demonstrated. In placing his haud over
the diseased parts of the body his hand
and arm enlarges twice its natural size,
turns very dark color and to all ap-

This is due TO the great electric forces
which absorb the disease from the dis

I have been suffering for years should not
neglect this opportunity for being cured
