How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.
LETTER TO MRS. P1NKHAM NO. 1881

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 12.z331
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
l became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
" underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
"The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you looll.' and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. "-MRs. E. j.

The aim of the conference will be- rot
10 establish peace, but 10 hide from llen
the sole means of escape from the miseries
of war. which lies in the refusal of pri-
vate individuals of all participation in the
murders of war. And. therefore. the con-
ference can on no account accept for dis
cussion the question suggested.
Armies will only be diminished and abOl-
ished when people cease to trust govern
ments, and themselves seek salvation fIom
the miseries that oppress them. and seek
safety. not by the complicated and delicate
combinations of diplomats. but in the
simple fuliiiment of that law binding upon
every man. inscribed in all religious teach
ings and present in every heart, not to do
to others what you wish them not to
do 10 you-above all. not TO slay your
neighbors.
Armies will first diminish. and then dis
appear, only when public opinion brands
with contempt those who, whether from
fear or for advantage. sell their liberty
and enter the ranks of those murderers
called soldiers. and when the men now ic-
nored and even blamed-who in despite Of
all the persecution and suffering they have
borne, have refused TO yield the control
OF their actions into the hands OF others,
and become the tools Of murder-are Zee

and then quite disappear. and 4 new era
in the life of mankind will commence.
And that time is near.
And that is why l think that the re-
fusals 10 serye in the army are facts Of i'm
mense Importance. and that they will
emancipate mankind from the miserie5 of
war. But the opinion that the conference
may conduco toward this is quite an error.
The conference can only divert peoples
eyes from the sole path leading TO safety
and TO liberty.

ToLsToY's VIEW ON PEACE.
In His Opinion the Prospective Con-
ference VIII he Futile.
om the Independently

1t is said that the easiest and surest way
to universal disarmament is by indiyidu-
ais refusing to take part in military serv-
ice. This is most just. | am even OF opin-
ion that this is the only way to escape
from the terrible and ever-increas:ng mis-
cries of wardom (miiitarism). But that
at the conference which is about to assem-
BILE at the Cars invitation the question
should be debated whether men who refuse
military service may not be employed on
public works instead appears to me quite
mistaken idea-in the first place. because
the conference itself can be nothing but
one OF those hypocritical arrangements
which aim not at peace: but. on the con-
trary. at hiding from men the one means
of obtaining universal peace, which the
foremost men are now beginning to dis
cern.
The conference. II is said, will aim. IL
not at disarmament. then at checking the
increase of armaments. 1t is supposed that
at this conference the representatives of
governments will agree TO cease increasing
their forces. II So the question iayol,.n-
tarily presents itself. How will the gov
ernments of those countries act which at
the time of this meeting happen TO be

ernments will hardly agree TO remain IN
that condition-weaker than their nelsn-
bors. Or, if they have such firm beilet IN

WHY spend money on an army at all
n again the business of the conference
will be to equalize the fighting forces OF
the various states and to keep them sta
tionary. then, even could such an impossi-
BILE balance be arrived ar, the question IN
voluntarily arises, Why need the govern
ments stop at such armaments as now eN-
ist? Why not decrease them? Why need

for instance, 100000 men each. ana NOT

LOCO each? II the dimunition is possible.
why not reduce to a minimum? And, tn
ally. why not, instead OF armies. have
champions-David and Goliath-and settle
international questions according 10 the
results of their combats?
II Is said that the conflicts between gov
ernments are to be decided by arbitration
But. apart from the fact that the cis-
putes will be settled. not by representa-
tives of the people. but by representatives
of the governments. and that thra is no
guarantee that the decisions will be Just
ones-who is to carry out the decisions OF
the court? The army? Whose army?
That of all the powers. But the strength
of those armies is unequal. Who. for In
stance. on this Continent is to carry out
decision which is disadvantageous. say. for
Germany, Russia and France allied to-
gether? Or who. ct sea, Will carry out
decision to the interests OF England,
America and France? The arbitrators
sentence against the military violence CT
states will be carried out by military vio-
lence-that is to say. the thing that has TO
be checked is to be the instruments by
which il is to be checked. To catch bird
nut salt on its tail.
But if. as appeared from the exp'ana-
tions that followed the manifesto, it will
be an aim of the conference to prohibit
implements of destruction which seem
particularly cruel land why. while they
are about it, not try to prohibit the seiz-
ure of letters, the Justification OF tele-
grams. the spy system, and all the terri
BILE meannesses which form IN integral
