THE ILLS OF WOMEN
And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps
Overcome Them.

Mrs MARY BoLLINGER, 1101 Mariana
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, to Mrs. Pinkham:
81 have been troubled for the past
two years with falling of the womb,
leucorrh9a, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. l tried doctors and various
remedies without relief After taking
two bottles of your Vegetable Com
pound, the relief obtained was truly
wonderful. have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that I am entirely cured"
Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. SOC Findley St,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:'
"For long time 1 suffered with
chronic Inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
SO weak was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians, and getting no relief, 1 had
given up all hope of being well
again when 1 read of the great good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. decided immedi-
ately to give it a trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of Sanative Wash
can say feel like new woman. 1
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which / am CRATE
full. May heaven bless her for the
good work she is doing for our sex"

A SONG OF HOME.

Many anecdotes were told of the
late Judge Cox, of the district bench
of Washington. D. G. One of them
will bear retelling. A young lawyer,
defending criminal before him, and
whose idea of eloquence seemed to
consist in continually calling upon the
Creator, concluded with this remark
able peroration: 81 ask your honor
for Gods sake to have mercy on my
CLIENT" The Judge adjusted his spec
tacles, asked for the papers, examined
them with much deliberation, and then
said: "The plea for mercy for Gods
sake cannot be entertained by the
court. After careful examination of
the papers do not find that God is a
party to the record in this case. -

EASTERN PLANTS AND SEEDS.
Persimmons, Jumbo and Japanese Plum
VIII be Tried in This Country.

Professor. S. A. Knapp, the special
commissioner of Secretary Wilson to
the orient to investigate the availa-
bility of eastern plants and seeds for
common use in this country, and Sc
cure specimens of those that are val
liable, has submitted his preliminary
report summing up the work.
There are number of seeds and
plants selected for experiment with a
view to common usage here, and they
include persimmons, the eastern prod
uct OF which is far more edible fruit
than ours; bamboo, Japan plums,
pears, camphor trees and hagi. All
the persimmon and pear seedlings
have reached here and have been dis
tributed to experiment stations.
The persimmon, the report shows,
is the most universally used of all the
fruits in Japan. This makes the first
importation Of the seedless variety of
tho persimmon, which is dried and
preserved like fig.
Some plums were purchased in ia
pan for hybridizing our native plums.
The bamboo is used in Japan for an
infinite variety of purposes and it is
even table delicacy. Whether the
American taste will be trained to use
the bamboo as food is not ventured,
but the report says it will thrive in
many of the southern states and be of
great value in various ways. Among
other uses, it is suggested as a ma
terial for eavetroughs, light fences,
staging poles, rafters, etc. 1t is the
product of warm climate and in rich,
moist soil frequently grows sixty feet
in one year. Camphor trees were Sc
lected because this variety will stand
the frost of our gulf states and the tree
is large and ornamental. The bark OF
the paper mulberry, it is urged, will
go well with the bamboo for variety
of purposes. The Crypome Japonica
is the principal tree used in reforesting

Cultivation of Lasting Charms.

Tho old proverb about riches having
wings is even more true of good looks.
A few years more or less, and with
first youth first beauty fades. A dainty
skin becomes wrinkled, glossy haii
grows dim-an illness, an accident,
and loneliness has gone forever. THAI
woman is wise who, whether she be
plain or beautiful, cultivates lasting
charm of manner or mind, to last long
after mere outside charms to admira
ton have faded and been forgotten.
