If a person is i'll and needs medi-
cine is it not wise TO get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
every thing they hear of in the way OF
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
20 their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia r. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
K. Pinbham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been ublished in the interest Of
tiny other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge.
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, mo, we want

pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
Is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham,

Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
a Street Car Corupauy

Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
Street Car Company.
The Supreme Court will be called
upon at its next sitting at Jackson to
look into the peculiar case of Mrs
Crutchfield VS.. the Memphis Street
Railway.
Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street rail-
way company for $500 damages and
the complainants maintain that they
nave such cause as entitle them to a
trial on the merits of the case.
1t is related that on the days of trans
action. Mrs. Crutchfeld who lives in
Fort Pickering, having occasion to
come uptown, found that she had no
other money than 500 bill She tried
TO get this money changed before she
boarded the street car. She went to
the butcher with whom she deals in the
neighborhoOd and offered to pay bill
there If the butcher could change the
bill, but she could not get it changed.
So she boarded the street car with the
bill. 1t is related on behalf of the COM
plainant that she explained to the con-
uuctor the circumstances accounting
for the necessity for Offering him so
large bill and asked him for a transit
er at Beal street. They were not able
to settle the trouble about the bill until
they came to Madison street, when the
conductor got off the car to get the bill
changed. 1t is asserted that he went to
some trouble to get the bill changed
entirely to nickels. He got at the first
bank, so it is asserted by the complain
ant, $40 in nickels and a SO bill, and
then went to another bank and got the
$40 Dill changed to niclSels. He carried
these small coins to the passenger and
rendered them to her.
1t is related that Mrs. Crutchfield ask
ed for time in which to count the
money but the conductor demurred
and the other passengers protested
against the delay, so that Mrs. Crutch-
field said the car might go to the end of
the line and she would count the money
en- route. 1t is related that after she
had counted the money over once she
concluded Kat she was S1.15 short, and
upon making demand for the balance
the conductor handed it over to her.
She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end Of
the Main street line and turned for the
round trip. Then the conductor de-
manded a second fare from her, where
at she protested, and after some argu-
ment, when the conductor declared
that she would have to pay another
nickel or get off. she got off the car.
These being the averments of the law
suit from the complalnant's standpoint,
1t is intended to go to the Supreme
Court to ascertain whether or not such
circumstances do not constitute a cause
for action.-Memphis Scimeter.

Surgical Operation on a Hen.

LORD PLAYFAIR'S ASSURANCE.
Induced Prince of Wales to Lad1e
Molten Lead with His Hand.

Induced Prince of Wales to Lad1e
Molten Lead with His Hand.
One of the most honored and conspic-
uous figures in the public life of Great
Britain during the last half century
was Lord Playfair. The vast sanitary
improvements which have taken place
in England within thirty years and the
evolution of the whole system of scien-
tific and technical instruction are due
to Playfair more than to any other man.
says the North American Review. He
originally suggested the adoption Of
open half-penny letters, now known as
post cards, and he was largely lnstru-
mental in suggesting the basis of an
equitable agreement between Great
Britain and America when President
Clevela1d's Venezuelan message had
brought the two countries into danger
Gus antagonism. Among Playfair's
students at the University of Edin-
burgh was the Prince of Wales, OF
whom a curious anecdote is told.
"It was while the Prince of Wales
was living in Edinburgh. as Playfairs
pupil in the application of science to
Industry, that an interesting incident
occurred. The two were standing near
a caldron containing lead. which was
boiling at a white heat. Has your
royal highness,' asked Playfair, any
faith in scienceY Certainly was the
reply. Playfair then carefully washed
the Princes hands with ammonia to
get rid of any grease that might be on
them. VIII you now place your hand
In this boiling metal and ladle out a
portion of it?' said Playfair. Do you
tell me to do thisY asked the Prince.
4 do was the answer. The Prince in
stantly put his hand into the caldron
and ladled out some of the boiling lead
without sustaining any injury. 1t Is a
well-known scientific fact that the hui
man hand, if perfectly cleaned, may be
placed uninjured in cad boiling at
white heat, the moisture of the skin
protecting it under these conditions
from any injury. Should the lead be
at temperature perceptbly lower the
effect would be. of course, very differ
snt."

Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

PLOT MATCHED IN AMERICA.
H~umbert's Assassin Formerly Lived
In Paterson, y. j.

PATTERSON, y. j., July 31,-The fact
that the assassin of King IIumbert
proves to be Il former resident Of this
place occasioned Il little surprise here.
1t has long been suspected that a plot
of this sort and magnitude might be
Matched among the Italian anarchists
who have formed Il settlement here.
These Italians are mostly employed in
the silk mills and some are experts, hav-
ing engaged in the same industry in
Italy.
Numerous Italian societies are known
TO exist, though the Paterson police pre-
tend that the objects of these secret or
CARNATIONS are unknown to them,
There is little doubt that the plot to
kill King Humbert has been known for
several months i'm the Italian settlements
around New York. 1t was given world
wide publicity two weeks ago by the sui
eide of an anarchist in Paterson who
claimed TO have been chosen by lot to do
the killing. That his position was known
is proved by the fact that his compa-
triots were only prevented from giving
him a magnificent funeral by the police.
