LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 1881

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 1881
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years I had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
1 became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling Of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. I went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, ] de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone / felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia T.
Pinl1hams Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
''The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you look and
you may be sure / never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. MIS-. e. J.

"WHEAT STIFFS."
Men Who Make a Business of Follow
ing Western Harvest Fields.

With June the wheat harvest in the
United States begins in earnest, and
from that time until the 1st Of Septem-
Der, when the last harvester has passed
northward out of the Red River valley,
there is not an hour of daylight when
the click of the reapers canuot be heard.
July and August are the harvest months
of Northern civilization.
In the United States the harvest time
succession has developed its own typical
harvester. He appears with the rlpenlng
OF crops in Oklahoma, ragged, unkempt
and penniless, but ready to do man
full work for double wages. AS soon as
the Oklahoma grain is safely In shock
he marches northward. SomewherC In
Nebraska or Kansas he acquires blan-
ket, possibly q black tin tea pail, and
little money. He is then known as
wheat stiff or sometimes as a "blan-
ket stiff If he is industrious he can
make a years wages in two months.
By the time he reaches the DakotaS he
is one of the army of more than $4,000
men. many of whom have been drawn
from st. Paul, Chicago and even farther
East, tempted by low railroad fares,
large wages and bountiful board.
In September the harvester, now no
longer penniless. disappears from the
knowledge of men; where he goes no one
can say. but with another June he will
be found waiting in Oklahoma ready
for the ripening wheat. And he is the
first, and not the least interesting, Of the
movers Of wheat-Ray Stannard Baker

FRENCH DELEGATES.
Some of the Table Luxuries Imported
for American Consumption.

From France comes the longest list Of
oddities, the oldest of all perhaps being
picked cockscombs. Usually they are
put up half-cooked and are then picked
and spiced. There is to the American
palate nothing appetizing about picked
cockscombs, which are as tough as
boarding house steak Another French
dish of rare flavor is blood pudding.
which is commonly made from the blood
Of beeyes and horses. During the siege
Of Paris the blood of dogs. eats, rats and
birds was served into buildings, and the
French people have ever since had a
fondness for blood pudding, which is i'm
ported into this country for French con-
sumption only, and has not as yet met
with any favor among Americans.
We import more table delicacies from
France than from any other country.
Bordeaux is the great exporting port. 1t
has been estimated that the number and
variety of table delicacies imported by
the United States from this city alone
is as much again as from all other parts
OF the world. From Bordeaux come the
finest sardines, canned peas, marcedoines,
truffies, rognons. olives and olive oils,
and any quantity of different kinds of

All Sorts Of SpangIes.

The spangle craze is still with us. And
the latest spangled dresses are wonder
full to behold. They are not only mass
of glistening black spangles which fit the
figure like a coat Of mail, but they are
now seen with colored spangles, forming
different designs. For example, a black
spangled gown will here and there show
in place of the black ones-spangles in
violet, pink or yellow, which are so
wrought that they form large, striking
butterflies. Then there are other black
spangled robes, scattered with violets
worked in spangles or yellow buttercups
or pink wild roses Such a gown, made
up with a yoke and long sleeves of vel
vet matching in color the spangled de-
sign, would be extremely effective, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Entire dresses of silver and black Sc
quins are also the vogue

ADOut Rugs,

In buying an Oriental rug one can dis
tinguish between the imitation and gem
uine, not only by the color and pattern,
which may be copied, but by careful
examination to see il each stitch is knot
ted If the stitch is knotted, and it is
impossible to pull it out. the rug is gen
uine Turkish, whether the warp is cot
ton or WOOL but if one can pull the stitch
out it is imitation, no matter how closely
color and pattern follow the original.
The manner of testing the quality of the
rug is as follows: \ live coal is dropped
on the rug and allowed to burn little.
When it is removed a yellowish mark
will be left. Ii this can be brushed off
with the fingers. leaving the original col
rors unaltered it is sure proof of the gem

Deafness Cannon be Cur ed

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only ono way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition Of the mu-
cOus lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube gets intamed you have rumhlng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing viii be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an nfamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

Character III Chins.

A strong projecting chin is an indica-
ton OF an iron will and no small intelli-
gence. Men and women SO endowed usu
ally succeed in all of their undertakings.
A small, well-rounded chin, covered with
moving pads of flesh, is an indication of
pleasureloving disposition. If the chin
is dimpled, it is a sign of coquetry. levity
and untrustwOrthiness. But such per-
sons are generally blessed with q healthy
constitution and are apt to live 10 good
old age. A full, broad chin points to
noble characteristics; if rather square
and bony, it indicates an open. honorable.

fiercely as he can love

Judge Clark Of the North Carolina SUI
preme court had TO open court at Oxford
one winter. When he got to Henderson
he found a deep snow on the ground, and
the railroad from that place to Oxford
in those days did not run in such weather.
So the Judge set out in q buggy, with a
driver whose customers had heretofore
been commercial tourists. He took the
judge for a drummer, and tried to be-
guile the tedium by talking over the
hardware line. Not finding him exactly
well posted on that, he took up the dry
goods business. Not doing much better
with that, he successfully cried him on
notions, groceries, liquors and others.
Having exhausted all the Lines" he could
think of, he finally asked, You are a
drummer are you not"' Yes said the
judge, II am somewhat in that line"
We'll, what is your line? said the
driver. Il am drummer for the state
penitentiary.' The driver. saying, to
himself, half aloud, You are the first
one III that line that ever came along
here" drove the rest of the way in 81
lence. When the conveyance drove up
to the hotel in Oxford the landlord ran
Out to greet his guest. When the driver
heard his passenger called Judge the
point dawned on him. and he dashed
round the house, scattering Il cloud Of
SNOW with his wheels.
