something to prevent any moro sick.
ness. l would like to refer 10 a few
things which I believe would be of
tile greatest benefit to the whole
community il attended to in the
proper way.
Ftrst: There are several alleys
tlat are a disgrace to any town and
which, ] believe, are breeders of
sickness. II would take but a short
time to clean them up in proper
shape.
Second: There are several dump
grounds near town where all kinds Of
rubbish and refuse from stables, etc.
are unloaded and dumped anywhere
Just outside OF the main streets
wherever it Is most convenient. Now
the people have been warned about
this. time and time ugair, but what
effect does it have? None. Who are
the proper officers to see about thisP
Third: There is a pig pen near
Bruce's blacksmith shop in which are
confined anywhere from % to 10 hogs
of all sizes and conditions and which
in the warm days Of Spring aud Sum-
mer ID almost ~unbearable anywhere
within a block Of the same. This pig
pen sends its death dealing smells
all yer town.
These three things are enough to
mention Mt thus time. Hoping the
proper authorities will take notice
and do something to abate these
nuisances immei iately. 1 am,
Yours respectfully,
A RESIDENT.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAx.l

"A NJ
a woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
{" the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination win
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
l weakened condition. caused me to
low for nearly six months. Some time
lgo, urged by friends, l wrote to YOU
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than L
have had for the past ten years.
wish to say to all distressed. suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

pound is woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited By it
