The appendix was normal. The ovar-

more than double the normal size. On.
the inside there was evidence of q

ably occur in an attempt at abortion

we're present. An lncision was made
from the naval down to the pubic bone
and one across from the navel to either
side of the stomach and the bowels
brought into view. When we first pen
etrated the cavity, there was quite a
profuse discharge Of offensive liquids in
which there was considerable quanti-
ty of pus. This vas removed and the
incision completed, which brought into
REV the peritoneum or covering Of the
Bowels, which showed that they had
been badly infiamed, indicating what is
commonly called peritonitis; suppura-
tive peritonitis. All the bowels and abb
dominal organs were normal. except as
to the recent intlammatory condition.
We extended our examination into the
pelvic cavity and found the ovaries very
much degenerated from suppuratiye i'm
If1ammation, and also the fallopian tubes.
We next examined the uterus and
found it to be little over four inches

an inch and a half or an inch and q

times as large as normal. indicating
that there had been pregnancy. We

PAPERS CUT SHORT.
Two papers, one on Starters and Fa-
Vors," by Prof. G. L. Mckay, of Ames,
To-, and Moisture in Butter by Prof
e. H. Harrington, Madison, Wis, were
read, but discussion on the same was cut
short, owing to the lateness of the hour.
Prof McKay's paper was devoted to
showing the proper temperature and
method to produce starters, and the con-
sequent proper flavor of butter. Two
essentials necessary, he said. were clean
appliances and the sanitary condition of
the cow, the latter because of germ-cov-
cred legs and udder, often communicating
the butter product to the extent that it
was ruined for food consumption.
The paper by Prof. harrington was of
a technical nature, and quoted figures to
show the relative amount of water in
Sailed and unsalted butter The Danish
standard of moisture allowed in butter is
Il per cent.
While every state in the Union has rep
resentatives in the national organization
few have state associations and de-
fcit in this respect was corrected, when
the Wisconsin delegates held a meeting
Wednesday evening and organized. The
organization has fifty charter members
and is differed by F. B. Fullmer presi-
dent; M. j. Michaels, treasurer; and De
Will Goodrich, secretary. 1t is thought
that a number of other states will fall
in line and organize before the conven.
ton closes.

ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by so
many women is not due as a rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor but to
the draining away of the strength by
womanly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleep1essness are
but few Of the common results of such
diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort to
effect a cure. They treat wonan1y dis
ease as if it was purely local thing, and
only wake up to the disastrous effect of
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years of painful ILL

with Gods help, DR.. Pierce's medicines
cured me. If these few words are of
any Use to you you are welcome to use
them. They might help some other
poor, suffering woman"
Mrs. Shearer's case is fair example
of the average cure effected by the use
OF "Favorite Prescription" both in the
completeness and quickness of the cure.
Of course, in complicated and chronic
cases the cure may be slower but it is
none the less sure if the medicine is
faithfully used as directed. The records
show that ninety-eight women in every
hundred who have given vFavorite Pre-
scription" fair and faithful trial have
been perfectly and permanently cured.
