Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. PinSham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter OF all
pains and irregularity.

An Ohio Man Cured of This
 Stubborn AiIment.
From tue Ne,Us, WaUerly, Ohio


 Mir. Eli Potts, of Waverly, Ohio, has been in business there for fourteen years and is veteran of the Mexican war ill which he served with Company H, of the Fourteenth Tennessee regi- ment. At the age of 76 he bears the respect of all who know him and the following experience, related by him, is raised beyond all doubt by the high character of the narrator. He says:
 "About seven years ago disease fastened upon me which, as it devel- oped, proved to be locomotor ataxia. I became very nervous, could not walk without having dizzy spells and did not sleep well. As the disease ad- vanced lost control of my muscles and could only walk a short distance. I could not control the direction of my steps and was always afraid of falling. "This continued until there was breaking down of my entire system About two years ago I saw Dr. Will ia1ns' Pink Pills for Pale People adver- tised. The case cured was similar to mine and I gave the pills a trial. Very soon after I began taking them I ex- perienced relief and took the pills regularly. Gradually the control of the muscles was restored and my gene ral health improved. The dizzy feel ing left me and has never returned. From my own experience know that Dr. Williams Pink Pills are great remedy and am pleased to recommend them to any one who suffers as did" |"

INTERESTING SCHOOL EXERCISES. An event of considerable impor- tance to those who took part in it, and which will stand out cOnspicuOusly and claim precedence, was the closing exer- cises on Wednesday last of Mrs G. B. | Fuckers school. About 75 friends and patrons from Bridgeport, Dan | bury, Monroe, Bedding and Easton as sembled in the pleasant schoolroom, made still more attractive by the ar tistic arrangement of bunting and flowers, conspicuous among them being roses and mountain laurel, and listened appreciatively to carefully arranged program consisting of old-time songs, recitations and dialogues significant of the fact of this being the 25th anni- versary of Mrs Fuckers school work in Rock House school. It was also Sug- gested by one of the parents, Mrs Grace Clark, that any thing old-fashiOned at the present time would meet the ap- proval of the public which was fully exemplified by the hearty applause l that met each selection. At the close of the program each scholar received a gift from the teacher and she in turn was kindly remembered by nearly all her pupils. Among her gifts were handsome picture from LOra Clark, a very pretty opal pin from Floyd Stiles Tucker, a lovely handkerchief from Alice Lyon. bottle of perfume from Howard Lyon, hand knit doilies and mats from Elsie and Bertie Van, a but ter knife from James Garnett and | lemon squeezer from Lillie Bibbins. Three prizes were given. Alice Lyon took the first in her class and Minnie Sherwood being so close received the second. Mary Ferris took the prize in her class. At the conclusion of the exercises all repaired to the shady lawn in front and enjoyed an old time picnic, thus ending a very pleasant occasion. Following is the program:
