a set of Highland bagpipes from a
Glasgow firm. They are probably the

chief officers at the Sultan's court is a
Maclean-a nephew of the Highland

When a cheerful. brave and lighthearted woman is sud.
denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, It's
a sad picture.
1t is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, expert.
encing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi.
ness, and Palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down
feeling is ~dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues You will
be all right after you have taken the doctors medicine"
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day BY
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith hope ,yanishes; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.

pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. was SO tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through INV
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
M mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkhams

please her I did SO. The first bottle helped me so
much that 1 continued its use. l am now well and

AS the United States pays no civil
pensions neither eX-presidents nor
their widows receive allowances; but
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Garfield are each
recipients of $1,000 a year as the wild
ows of generals in the army. There
were surviving last year four widows
of soldiers who fought in the Revolu-
ton of l776, the youngest of whom was
eighty-four. No doubt some widows
of civil war pensioners will live to be
centenarians. In that case the open
ing of the t~wenty-first century will
witness the "pertinacious lady cheer
fully signing her voucher. Many
young have married aged pen
s%ioners, that they may subsequently
receive life pensions as widows. BY
actuarial calculation, it is odds on"
