GIRL PROPHECIES

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Philadelphia. Pa. April 6.-Many who
have heard Miss Anita Trueman. who has
been in this city for the past two or three
weeks. look upon the young girl Us an in
spired prophecies OF a new faith. Miss
Trueman sums up her belief rs follows:
Il believe that every human being Is q
perfect soul. I believe that the highest de-
velopment that a man can attain to is to
be a perfect companion for every ona-"
Miss Trueman came TO Philadelphia at the
reeuest Of the Truth students. a small and
comparatively recent cult. She was a pupil
in the Girls High school in Brooklyn. and
in October. 1897. became go thoroughly dis
satisfied with the attitude hat her school,
mates took toward education and toward
the meaning and beauties Of life that she
started in on her own account to make an
investigation. She found cut that almost
without exception they we're frivolous and
regarded life a mainly an opportunity for
having a good time.
After . Nttle while she went to her teach
ers and asked them TO grant her the use Of
the lecture-room to give a talk to her
schoolmates. They were amused at first.

Mise Trueman ak In a most interesting
way about her philosophy Of life.
Il try to be a perfect companion to every
one. I do not make a philosophy OF my
own and then try TO break down the phil
osophy Of others to make them believe in
mine: that is not the right attitude to take
toward our fello~-nan.
"I frst find cut a mans ideals. and then,
instead Of saying they are right CT wrong.
I do all in my power to encourage him IN
the pursuit Of that ideal.
Ideals are simply the pathway toward
truth. and TO matter what path you take
you should be encouraged in your journey.
There IS no room in the world for any
thing evil or unplees SAINT. nor IS there any
excuse for It. II ve would but give ous
souls full sway and let them radiate unob-

Operations Avoided.

When a physician tells a woman suffering with ova-
rian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary; it of
course %frightens her.
The very thought of the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
And our hospitals are full Of women who are there for
ovarian and womb operations!
It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed. because a great
many women have been cured by Mrs. Pinkhanfs med
icine after the doctors had said the operation must be
performed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. In fact,
up to the point where the knife must be used to secure
instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb
troubles, and womb troubles are SO very common that
ovaritis is steadily On the increase among women. It is,
nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend
wrong treatment for it is a crime for which there cannot
be too deep a penalty.
It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious
ness of the disease and the steady failure Of other medicine
to cure it, that we present for ovarian and womb trouble
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the
most certain to help Of any medicine in the world today.
Any person who could read the letters in Airs. Pinkhamis
files at her Office in Lynn, Mass, would be convinced OF
the efficiency Of HRS. Pinkham's Compound.
The strongest and most grateful statements possible
to make come from women who have escaped the operat-
ing table by the use Of this medicine. Let any woman
suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de-
velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham's advice. II
you are beyond the reach of the medicine, you will be
frankly told 60, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully
and kindly advised.
The most serious of all the diseases of women, as well
as the minor ills, are promptly overcome by
