NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
Ia TALK WITH MRS. PIrYHAM.I

A woman with the blues is very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical
The condition of the mind known as
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t 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-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
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.
Read 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 liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me To

q pair of skates and with his father-in-
law went down to the lake. which is about
half n mile from his home He left Mr..
Merrill and started out to find the party
which was composed of Ward Spaldng,
Timothy Dillon, Charles Grandey and
Walter White. He had not gone out very
far from the shore, probably half a mile,
when he was heard to scream and Mr..
Merrill saw him SO out of sight.
Mr.. Merrill notified several of the mis-
hap and a searching party started out
with graphing irons. They came to a
crack in the ice and followed his track
along until they came to a hole in the
ice which was about 10 feet square. From
his tracks it was seen that he tried TO
save himself. His hat was in the middle
of this hole. The party proceeded to drag
the bottom of the lake and after much
effort recovered the body from about &C
feet of water. The body apparently had
not moved from where the victim went
down.
The deceased was about 30 years OF
age, married and had one child. He was
comfortably situated on a farm.
The funeral will be held Thursday from
his late home.
