The Regular and the "Renegade."

The friends of Mr. German, heartened by
declarations for him by prominent southern
men, are making much Just now OF the
fact that 10th in 1896 and 1900 he was reg
ular" They do not claim-for In truth they
cannot-that he was in any sort or SYM
patty with Mr.. Bryan or his policies Ihey
do not claim-for in truth they cannot-that
he was disappointed at the success Oh the
republicans in those two campaigns. They
make no mention of the fact that Maryland
In both campaigns gave her vote by a large
majority to William Mckinley. They simply
state. as though it were matter of ire
mendous consequence. that Mr.. German
outwardly surrendered his convictions to
party rule and gave his individual vote for
a candidate whose election he neither ex-
pected nor desired. and whose two defeats
cost him not a moment of anguish or dis
coura cement Mr.. German, they proudly
proclaim was regular" and that fact they
feel will make him strong with the rank
and file of the party at the next democratic
national convention. But will it?
The term applied by some of Mr.. Cor
mans champions to a democrat who re-
jected Mr. Bryan is renegade 1t fits, as
they use it. Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Hill, Mr.
Whitney. Mr.. Carlisle, Mr. Watterson and
many other men of distinction. They had
all been Eonored in one way or another by
the party. and yet they stood out against
the party when it gave in to populism. and
In a fit Of hysteria clapped the crown or
leadership on the head of a rafting stump
speaker. They would not be regular at
the expense of opinions they held and con-
sidered of vital moment to the welfare OF
the country. The influence of all of them,
one way or another was exerted in behalf
of the republican candidates and platform
In 1896. Some of them supported directly
Mckinley and Hobart, others supported
Palmer and Buckner. while others knitted
their brovs and buried themselves deeply
in private business.
Now if the test comes next year between
a man Who stood out actively or passively
against Mr.. Bryan for reasons relating to
the policies for which Mr.. Bryan stood. and
a man who, although equally opposed to
Mr.. Bryan and his policies, voted for him
for fear of possible injury to his own politi-
cal future, whose side will Mr. Bryan and
his friends be likely to take? Which will
appear. not only to the Bryanites, but to
the electorate as a whole, as the stronger
and more deserving? The answer to this
question is the answer to another question
Which of the two men showed the stronger
character and the real courage in the trial
of 1896?

When a physician tells a woman suffering with
ovarian or womb trouble that an operation is neces-
sary, 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!
1t 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 sup
posed, because a great many women have been cured
by Mrs. Pinkham's medicine after the doctors had
said the operation must be performed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable CompOundhas
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. 1t is, nevertheless, a most seri-
Gus trouble, and to m wrong treatment
for it is a crime for which there cannot be too
deep a penalty.
tits, therefore, with full consciousness of the
seriousness of the disease, and the steady failure of
other medicine to cure it, that we present for ova-
rian and womb trouble Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound as the most certain to help of any
meulclno III the world To-Day. ANY person who
could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham's files at her
Office in Lynn, Mass, would be convinced of the eff
cheney of Mrs. Pinkham's Compound.
The strongest and most grateful
possible to make come from women who have
escaped the operating table by the use of this
medicine. Let any woman suffering from these
troubles, or anything which may develop into
them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham's advice.

was no hope for me, and although 1t was strongly against

tor, finally / began 70 take Lydia T.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. It did me SO much good that
l continued its use, and I am now entirely free from pain

Anyone who knows the agony caused by ovarian troubles,

in me, for which I am eternaly grateful to you. For
years | have nursed women in confinement cases, and I
know how terribly women suffer from female disorders,
and in all my experience have never known of anything
else that would really help those who are afflicted. I be-
