wishing to become patients should address pr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus. Ohio.
 No one knows better than pr. Hartman how much the women suffer with diseases peculiar to their sex. No one knows bet ter than he does how many of them suffer with such diseases. Patiently, hopefully wearily, and often silently, they eke out a miserable existence, year after year.
 No martyr in poetry or heroine in ro- nance makes more touching appeal 10 human sympathy than the woman bur dened with the cares of a family trying to carry the extra load of some tormenting and ever present female disease.
 pr. Hartman's sympathy for such Is un- bounded. and his willingness to help them limited only to his power.

THE DAVIS TROPHY

Britains 0utpIay Americans in
 Sensational Tennis Tourney
BRILLIANT PLAY BY WCT0RS
Champion Larned and Ex-champlOn Wrenn Beaten by Doherty Brothers In Series for International Cup.
 Best Game on Record.

Boston, Mass, August S.-The interna- tional trophy, presented three years ago by Joseph Dwight Davis of this country goes to England through the united eff forts of R. F. and II. l.. Doherty. who clinched their hold on the emblem by win ming both matches in singles today and scoring the entire contest, four out of the total of five points. Each of the two con- tests today went a full five sets, H. L. Doherty, the British champion, defeating William A. Larned, the American cham pion 6-s. 6-s, 6-o 2-6. 7-5, while his brother disposed of R. D. Wrenn. former Amer lean champion, by score of 6-4, 3-8, s-s. 6-s, 6-4
 5000 People See Games.
 Both matches were played on adjoining courts and the five thousand tennis en- thusiasts who surrounded the enclosure probaly saw the finest exhibition of tennis in the history of the game
 From the very start the excitement was intense and after each match had been squared at the end of four sets, every one was fairly on tip-toe, until H. L. Doherty won long deuce set, his match, and the necessary three points to obtain posses sion of the cup.
 Still the crowd fingered to see the American favorite, R. D. Wfenn, finish his contest with the elder of the broth CTS. At one time it looked as though the former might possibly pull out a winner, but Doherty's brililancy proved too much for Wrenn's resources. H. l.. Doherty,s marvellous ability to cover court un-. doubtedly won him the match with Larn- ed, although to the minds of many, an unfortunate decision at a critical stage in the last set was the cause of the lat ter's failure. With the games four all In this last set and Larned with one point of the ninth game, there came a question on Doherty's serve. The linesman failed to call and Larned thinking it a double fault, started to change courts on the beg lief that the game was his, the referee decided that the point must be played over again. This took the snap out of Larned's game at once and after that Doherty had little difficulty in winning.
 Very Close Games'
 The match between R. F. Doherty and R. D. Wrenn was more hotly fought than the one in the adjoining court, many of the games reaching deuce and the rallies being long and brilliant.
 Both players were extremely careful and their resourcefulness made the match particularly interesting Wrenn found that Doherty could handle his high lobs with masterly skin, while the English man was surprised at the way in which Wrenn covered his court
 In the three days covering the contest for the cup, the Americans scored only one point and that was on default by R. F. Doherty, caused by his accident The cup will be placed in custody of the En- glish Lawn Tennis association and 1t is quite probable that an American team will go to England next year and make every effort to regain 1t.
