Doctors Mystified.

woman Is sick disease peculiar TO her sex is
lasS developing IN her system She goes TO her family
physician and tells him story but not the whole story
She holds something back, loses her head, becomes
agaed torgets what she wants to say and finally con.
ceals what she ought to have told and thus completely
mystifes the doctor
Is it any wonder therefore that the doctor fails to
cure the diseased STILL we cannot blame the woman for
IL is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of
her suffering even to her family physician 1t was for
this reason that years ago Mrs Lydia e. Pnkham at Lynn
Mass determined to step in and help her Having had
considerable experience in treating female ills with her
vegetable Compound she encouraged the women of Amer
lea TO write to her for advice in regard to their complaints
ana belng woman it easy for her aing sisters TO
pour into her ears every detail Of their suffering
In this way she was able to do for them what the phy.
scans were unable to DO simply because she had the
proper information to work upon and from the little group
OF women who sought her advice years ago great army
OF her fellowbengs today constantly applying for
advice and relief and the fact that than one hundred
thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs
Pinkham during the last year is Indicative of the grand
results which produced by her unequaed experience
and training.
No physician in the world has had such training. or
has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the
treatment OF all kinds of female ills from the simplest
local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the
womb
TINS therefore, is the reason why Mrs Pnkham in
her laboratory at Lynn Mass is able to do more for the
alhng women OF America than the family physician Any
woman therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who viii not take the trouble to write TO Mrs Pnkham
for advice.
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing
from grateful women establish beyond doubt the power
of Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
conquer female diseases

SCIENTIFIC TORTURING
ALITTLE FROG
Some things That Science is not Called
Upon to Demonstrate.

Oregonlsn Mays:
In one Of the showcases in the City
Museum isa living frog hermetically
sealed in a fruit-isr. An explanatory
note states that the frog was imprisoned
and sealed ia this living tomb ON April
2. 1901. There is mud and water in the
jar in which some kind Of a plant is
growing or trying 10 grow. The note
further explains that the frog gives of
eArbonic "acid gas" necessary for the
life Of the plant and the plant gives off
"oIigen" gas necessary TO the life Of the
frog. the whole being a sort Of cooper
ative affair. II is further related that
no Humane Society need apply az the
frog has dedicated his life to science.
Now, while it is true that plants require
carbonic gas, and frogs as we'll az all
other animals, require oxygen, this does
not afford any excuse for sealing the un-
fortunate little frog in living tomb, nor
is it true thathe has dedicated his life 10
science. The wretched little creatu re
requires ther things besides oxygen,
and his living Ghut up where he can have
no comfort or pleasure in life smacks
very much Of cruelty to animals. II there
was any importsn fact inscience itmiRht
be tolerated but AZ matters stand there
seems to be no excuse for il. When it is
considered that eight-ninths by weight
Of the ocean and all the water in the
world consists Of oxygen, and that It
forms probably one half by weight Of the
entire solid crust Of the globe, and that
plants are supplied by nature with all
the carbonic acid they require, the cru
city Of imprisoning the little frog for
life is evident. Unless some better rea-
son than that furnished in the note men.
toned can be given for this cruelty, IL is
advisable for Mr Hawkins, the custodian
OF the museum, 10 restore the frog 10
liberty.

RUNAWAY DUE
TO CARELESSNESS

A frightiul runaway took place today
at noon on State Street. John Harvey,
who is hauling dirt TO the'new POstofhce
building left his team feeding without
brides or halters. The team took fright
and run down State Street. The electric
car was standing in front Of Hotel Salem
and a. the horses drew near to it they
parted and each tried to 20 around it,
but the tongue struck the car with .
fearful crash, which badly broke the
harness and wagon. One horse got loose
aud ran down High street and the other
horse was caught. Strange to say,
neither horse was hurt in any way.
Oscar Fraser the moteTman on the car,
saw the dagger and before the horses
ran into the car, he jumped and made
for the sidewalk. 1t is general opinoin
that the horses we're left in a careless
manner, and the teamster should be
more careful in the future.
