For several years my health was
miserable. suffered the most dread
full pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. 1 consulted one Of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease Abroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said 1
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day friend called and begged me
to try Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. began its use and took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was a wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap-
peared entirely and my old spirits have
returned. heartily recommend your
medicine to all suffering women. -

CLOSE OF THE CROP SEASON.
An Average Yield Except Hay aud AP-

Boston. Sept. 27.-The last bulletin for
the season of the New England lection
of the Climate and Crop Service of the
Weather Bureau says: Copous rains feil
in about all sections of New England On
the 20th and 21st. The exceptions were, en-
tremc eastern sections of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island and northern part Of
Vermont, where only light showers occNl-
red For the remainder Of the the week
the weather was generally fair and with
abundant sunshine. The rain and warm
weather have improved the condition of
crops. The chief benefit resulted to cab
bage, turnips, meadows and pastures. and
to fall sown seed Crops are nearly Ill
secured, except apples, potatoes and late
corn. The recent rains have placed tho
ground in good tilable condition ana fall
plowing and seeding are being rushed n
many sections of the district There urd
still parts in northern Vermont and east
ern Rhode Island and Massachusetts
where the soil Is too dry for cultivation.
In some sections of Vermont the question
of water supply is becoming serious and
the scarcity of water for stock causes
much inconvenience TO farmers. Now that
the season has closed, the prevailing opin-
ion as, expressed by correspondents IS,
that excepting hay and apples, crops Will
reach the average yield and quality. The
weather was especially favorable TO farm
work, and the season as "a whole satisiic-
