The above headlines recite the
actual experience of a poor wreck of
a woman who had once held an hon
orable and lucrative position in a
large mercantile house in New York.
Her health began to fail, and instead
of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted to stimulants
and morphine.
The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection of the womb, which
could readily have been cured in the
first stages. If when she had first
felt those severe pains in the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense of fullness, soreness and pain
in the pelvic region, she had needed
the warning that serious trouble was
in store, and commenced a regular
treatment with the Pinkham RENE
dies, as did Mrs. Rober of Chicago,
whose letter follows, the polypus
in the womb would have been dis
solved and passed away, and to-day
she would have been a well woman.
Why will women let themselves
drift along into terrible suffering
and sickness in this way, when there
is monumental proof that Lydia

pound is daily relieving thousands
of women from this very trouble
There is no excuse for any woman
who suffers to go without help. Mrs
Pinkham is very glad indeed to give
her personal advice to any one who
will write for it, and the following
letter simply goes to prove that the
Vegetable Compound will positively
cure female ills:

Free Medical Advice to Women.

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and an
swered by women only. A woman
can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been estab-
lished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women of
America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw
from it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks moth
ing in return except your good will,
and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor,
is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

In point of usefulness the apple undoubt-
eoly holds the same relation to fruits that
wheat holds to grains While in the south
it may have a rival in its sweet sister, the
orange, it adapts itself to many more va
riations than the latter. which is. more in
the nature of a beverage than solid FOOD
material.
The apple is firmer than most fruits
owing to the greater proportion of cellu-
lose, and to this and to the presence of
malic acid they owe their laxative proper
ties, properties shared also by cider or app
pie wine. They are rich in pectin, and
ratio of sugar to acid varies in different
varieties: that in the sweetest kind of deS-
sert apple may be as high 22-1, while in

Few other fruits will flourish so far

RECIPROCITY lN CUBA.
A Large Meeting Held in Interests o
Reciprocity Cause.

- 1
Havana, Jan. 24.-Yesterday was a
holiday in Havana. A large meeting in
the interest Of reciprocity VS. held in the
Tacon theater. at which Senores Mon
toro zayas and DOLE were the speakers.
After the meeting a procession was
formed, which marched to the palace of
the governor general. Here a commits
sion waited upon Governor General
Wood and presented resolutions to the
effect that the people of Cuba of all
classes, Cuban economic societies. polit-
ical parties and municipalities. believed
that the ruin and desolation now threat
ening the island rendered useless the eff
forts of the United States and Cuba to
establish stable government and re-
construct the country. The resolutions
also suggested that the Cuban commits
sion now in Washington be recognized
az representative Of the entire island,
and said that 1t was a duty which the
United States owed Cuba to establish
relations Of reciprocity with the island.
The American Club, which participated
in this manifestation, sent kilograms to
President Roosevelt. the speaker of the
house and the president of the Mer-
chants Union of New York, urging the
establishment Of reciprocity.

Washington, Jan 24-The industrial
commission, after several days spent in
the industrial condition Of
the country with the view of making
recommendations calculated to assist in
the solution OF the problems OF the
times. has completed that report and it
Will be presented to congress as required
by law within the next few days On

fellows closely the lines of recommends
stions laid down by the president in his
annual message. Supervision by the ma
tional government is recommended. The
most radical and specific step suggested
in this direction by the report is that
the books of all corporations should be
subject at all times to inspection. as are
the books of national banks. This it is
claimed would go far toward protecting
the public against impositions in the
way of over-capitalization and other de-
vices. The commission discusses gov
eminent ownership of railroads and tel
egraph lines, but does not recommend
such departure from present methods.
There are some recommendations con-

ton. One of these looks TO the imposi-
ton of certain taxes on private property

The nerves control and determine the
health OF every function of the brain
and body.
More than ndne-tenths of all diseases
that are not infectious are known by
every physician to be merely the local
symptoms of coming breakdown of
the nervous system.
In one person the diseased condition
OF the nerves manifests itself In insom-
MIA; in another by indigestion; in an
other by rheumatism; some organ of
the human body becomes affected; and
refuses to perform Its proper work.
When these symptoms begin to show
themselves, medicine today knows but
this one remedy. the famous discovery
of Prof. Edward e. Phelps, NJ. D., LII
D., whose wonderful achievement has
spread the fame of one of this country's
greatest universities No other remedy
was ever universally prescribed by ply
sicans. 1t was by the advice of the
most eminent practitioners in the coun-
try that this great remedy was first
put within the reach Of the public.

Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Cuban re-
ciprocity hearings before the ways and
means committee were devoted chiefly
to the cane sugar interests of Louisf-
ana who are opposing the proposed con-
cessions to Cuba on the ground that II
will cripple the sugar production of that
state. A number of the large planters
and manufacturers of the state We're
present and the allied interests OF beet
sugar and tobacco which are similarly
opposed to concessions to Cuba also
were numerously represented. The
opening statement in behalf of the Lou
isiana interests was made by j. D. Hill,
of New Orleans, an extensive planter.
He asserted that the sugar trust was
behind the Cuban movement and pre-
sented statistics to show that the result
of concessions to Cuba would make the
sugar trust the real beneficiary, consti-
tuting that organization colossal mo-
nopoly in Cuba.
