Vegetable Compound VIII
Remove 7lzz,70s and Cure
Other Female Weakness.

Two years ago I was a great
sufferer from womb trouble and pro-
fuse flowing each month, and tumors
would form in the womb. I had four
tumors in two years. I went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and thought l would
have to resort to morphine.
"The doctor said that all that could
help me was to have an operation and
have the womb removed, but I had
heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and
decided to try it, and wrote for her
advice, and after taking her Vegetable
Compound the tumors were expelled
and / began to get stronger right
along, and am as we'll as ever before.
Can truly say that would never had
gotten we'll had it not been for Lydia
E. Pinkhaln's Compound. MARY A.
STAHL, Watsontown, Pa.
"After following the directions
given in your kind letter for the treat
ment of leucorrhea, can say that I
have been entirely cured by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies, and
will gladly recommend them to my
friends. "A. B. DAvIDs, Binghamton,

ECZEMA IS
ITcN IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in.
Illumination; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is tormentiug, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
lhunor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
lit will keep the skin irritated.

KILLED BY CAR OF STONE.
Details of the Awful Death of Fred.
erick Hanger.

From Thursdays Daily.
The following special from Little
Rock, Ark, to the st. Louis Chron-

Sense
y ak with
Women

If q person is ill 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 ill try
verything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to 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 z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one I'M
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
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
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been pu blished in the interest OF
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
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, "No, we want

Four years ago had almost given
up hope of ever being well again. I
was afflicted with those dreadful head
ache spells which would sometimes
last three or four days. Also had
backache, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhea, dizziness, and terrible pains at
monthly periods, combining me to my
bed. After reading 50 many testi-
monials for your medicine, concluded
to try it. ! began to pick up after
taking the first bottle, and have con-
tinued to gain rapidly, and now feel
like different woman. I can recon-
mend Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

SPEEDY TORPEDO BOATS.
Record Of the Hal Lung VIII PrObn-.
bly, he Broken by "a New ~"
English boat.

Since the celebrated Turbinia has
been robbed of her Iaurels as the fast
EST boat atloat by the Englishbuilt Hal
Lung, constructed for the Chinese gov
eminent, the Englishmen are banking
their hopes on the new boat now under
construction of the Turbinia type.
The Chinese boat is credited with
having made a run of 1919 knots
at an average speed of over IS
knots an hour. The highest speed
realized during the run was 367 knots,
Or 42.2G miles, per hour. The best run
Of the Turbinia for mile is 35 knots, so
that the Hal Lung has a substantial
lead.
The most remarkable feature of this
boat, next to her speed, is the fact that
she is fitted with reGiprocating engines.
At the time the Turhinia made her phe-
aomenal speed 1t was popularity sup
posed that it was due to her new form
If motor. In great part, no doubt, it
Vas, but there is reason to believe that
he excellent steam-raising qualities of
1erboiler coptributedin no little degree
% the result. Relatively considered,
he performance of the Turbinia was
more meritoriors, for the reason that
,he is only a ACTON craft, while the Schi-
,hau boat is of $50 tons displacement,
or 41a times larger. The new and en-
arged Turbinias will be full-sized tor
>edo boats, and for This reason it is like
y that they will surpass the Hal Lung
oy considerable margin ofSpeed, Just
what the excess will be is a matter
which is exciting much speculation in
naval quarters,-Scientific American.
