Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound saved my life and gave back
a loving mother to eleven children,
which was more than any doctor could
have done OF any other medicine in
the wide world. My trouble was child
bed fever. The third day after my
babe was born I took a chill, which
was followed by a high fever. Iwould
perspire until my clothes were as wet
as though dipped in a tub of water.
The chills and fever kept up for three
days. My daughter got me a bottle of
your Compound. The fourth dose
stopped the chills, and the fever also
disappeared. My life was saved. My
age at this critical time was forty

GALVESTON RELIEF FUND.
WasbingtOninns Continue to Sub
scribe Literally.

Contributions to the Galveston relief
fund are coming in at a lively rate, de-
spite the fact that the disaster no longer
continues to monopolize public attention
as it did week ago Washingtonians real
ize that although some time has elapsed
since the occurrence of the storm the suf-
fering of the homeless and destitute is
still intense.
The work OF relief is we'll organized
now, and the expenditure of money in
volved in the caretaking of the unfor-
tunates will be great The amount of food
that will have 10 be provided for the resi-
dents of the T. les metropolis is immense
and money Is what is needed more than
anything else. The relief funds that have
been started In nearly every city in the
country have l.: :sn literally contributed
to by sympath!Zers with the sufferers, yet
every cent that can possibly be raised win
be needed before the misery is obviated.
The Washington Galveston fund is reach
ing a respectable total, and the benefits
that have been arranged in various thea
tres for tomorrow are expected to add
tidy sun, to that already collected.

pitiable. In Belle Isle Strait the whole

tered and ten are a total loss.
Twenty-four men OF the Provincetown

The subjects. however treated in this
letter. important as each may seem in
itself. do not press so imperatively for
solution as the question which the plat
form declares to be the paramount issue
in this campaign. Whether we shall ad-
here to, or abandon those ideas of govern
rnent which have distinguished this nation
from other nations and given TO it's his
tory its peculiar charm and value. is
question the settlement of which cannot
be delayed. No other question can ap-
proach IL in Importance; no other question
demands such immediate consideration. 1t
is easier to lose a reputation than to
establish one, and this nation would find
IL a long and laborious task to regain its
proud position among the nations. II.
under the stress Of temptation, it should
repudiate the self-evident truths pro-
claimed by our heroic ancestors and sac
redly treasured during a career unparaIl-
eled IN the annals of time. When the
doctrine that the people are the only
source of power is made secure from
further attack we can safely proceed to
the settlement of the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and economic
welfare OF our citizens. Very truly yours,
