Women,
Resssen7hes'
2 his
r act

That in addressing Mrs. Piniham
you are communicating with woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater thai that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
7ng full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them TO shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is positive fact-not mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
Others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
Sidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 100000 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the cases we refer to:

the form OF a halo of light around the
sun: at other periods It is general
glow, but more frequently II is seen as a
long shaft, extending from opposite sides.
Photographs taken during the total eclipse
of 1878 show that ii was visible for a dis
lance of 1000 600 miles on each side of the
sun. Owing to the intensely luminous
character of the sun it has been impoe-
sible to observe this feature except at
times when the disc was hidden by the
moon.
With all the efforts that have been made
TO determine the exact character of the
constituents of the corona, however, as
tronomers are still at a loss to pronounce
definitely upon them. For this reason ex-
traordlnary interest attaches to the in
designations to be made on May 2S Several
classes of work will be done by the gov

expect to gather new data, which, added
to what is already known, will aid mae

points regarding the sun and its surround
ings.
Besides the features already mentioned,
attention will be given to the red prom-
