The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
S. 81 goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. K. s. Clinkenbeard. a promi-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, Ky,
writes:
1.-TWO years ago was great sufferer
from rheumatism. l had tried every
remedy could hear of except S. S. S.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
~ took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. 1 was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper 1 sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle l felt sc much better that 1

bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
:" think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs Pinkham's

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA.
Three Steamers Didn't Understand 1t, bu
the Prince of Monaco Did.

the Prince of Monaco Did.
From the New FORK Sun.
The prince of Monaco has been known
since 1885 as an enthusiastic student of
the sea and it's various forms of life
He usually spends his summers in thu
study of oceanographic problems, and
his cruises have on some occasions been
extended almost to the coasts of Amer
lea. A short time ago he delivered a
lecture before the Royal Geographical
society in London, in which he told this
incident:
One afternoon, while in the Bay of
Biscay. he sank the trap in which he
collected specimens of sea life. 1t
went to the bottom in over 1900 feet
of water, and as night approached he
fastened to the wire attached to it an
electric buoy and then stood off a mile
or so. 1t did not happen to occur to him
that he was right'in the track of steam
ers plying between northern Europe
and the Mediterranean, but he was re-
minded of the fact later.
AS he and his fourteen sailors were
watching with good deal of salts
faction the swaying buoy with it's bril-
llant illumination a steamers light
came into view. 1t was soon evident
that the steamer was curious to know
the meaning of the illumination, for she
altered her course and made for the
light She knew that no fishing boats
came out so far from land and so de-
termined to solve the mystery. Up she
came to within quarter of a mile of
the buoy, slowed up for minute, and
then started ahead, perhaps a little dis
gusted at the incident that had lured
her several miles out of her course.
She had hardly got away when sec
ond steamer came into view. and she,
too, bore down upon the lighted buoy
The marines on the princes vessel I'M
derstood by this time that the illumina-
ton was probably believed to be evil
dence of disaster. Just as the princes
steamer was moving up to explain mat
tiers she was nearly run down by one
of the large liners in the Oriental trade,
which had also left her course to rem
der what assistance she could.
The swell was very heavy, and the
prince feared collision as the three
vessels approached the light like moths
around candle. He therefore veered
off and the other vessels. after stand
ing by for few minutes, went on their
way and probably never learned the
cause of that nights illumination at
sea.
But the incident gave the prince
pointer. He carefully refrained there
after from exhibiting his electric buoy
on any of the much travelled ocean
routes.

DROVE ALL THE FISH AWAY.
Effect of a Water Fly That Appeared in
the Illinois River.


Bureau, Ills. Aug. ia strange
water fly, whose species battles all the
local scientists, made its appearance
here a week ago on the Illinois river.
simultaneously with its coming all the
fish in the river apparently went down
stream. The disappearance of the fish
is attributed to the presence of the
flies, which skim over the surface of
the water il Swarms. The bass, Ordi-
narily voracious after flies, seem to be
in terror of this variety.
Reports from all points on the river
in this county show that the little pests
have driven all the fish away from this
neighborhood. A week ago the fish
ing was good, but during the past five
days not a strike has been made by
any of the local sportsmen. Two Chi
cago men, who came down Saturday
night after bass, gave up and in dis
gust left for home. One of them Sc

Oconto, Wis, Aug. 15.-What prom
ises to be the most sensational elope-
ment in the history of northern Wis
consin is being developed by Detroit
detectives in this vicinity. The woman
in the case is the wife of wealthy
lumberman in Kenton, Mich, who has

of Martin.
Her husband is reported to be worth
over S250,000 and is having the couple
pursued by detectives in order to OBJ
tain her signature to documents which

left home the woman had about $50 900
in cash with her, which was her own
personal fortune. She and the young
man were traced to this city.
