Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
cance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every.
thing else had failed. She writes:
II ssFor two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was ad
vised to give Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable
I Compound trial, and was happily surprised
: to find that it acted like fine tonic, aud in q
few days began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. Ihaye rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unqusli-
fed dendorsement.or hassuch a record OF
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia

Their Choice cf Hymns.

When Burton Folmes, the lecturer,

said that they threw much feeling

PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN
Conditions as Outlined BY Department
cf Agriculture.

The week ending S a. m., Monday
the 10th, began with high tempera-
lures and fair weather. Showery con-
ditions with rain, hail, sleet and snow
f1urries prevailed from 4th to the 9Th
inclusive. The hail did some damage
to tobacco and strawberries in the
northwestern countries. The sleet
and snow were confined tc the western.
and central counties and did very lit
tie damage. The snow occurred in
the western and central counties but
was not general, and it melted as Il
fell.
The rainfall varied from less thar
half an in ! to over an inch. and was
very we'll distributed and beneficial to
growing vegetation and put the soil
into excellent condition for cultiva.
tion; it was heavey enough to stop
plowing over the western counties,
but scarcely interferred with farm
work in other sections.
The frost on the 7th was general
over tho State to within about six
miles If the coast 1t was killing
over the western counties where the
minimum temperature fell to about.
40 below freezing, and generally light
in all other sections. Tender garden
vegetables, such as beans, and torna.
toes were more or less injured, and.
corn was nlpped in the western coun-
ties, although the damage was slight
as there was but little up. Fruit is.
in full hlo0op-jin the- extreme west est
ern counties and the frosts WIS in
places, quite damaging, but elsewhere
it is not believed that fruit was ma!
terially injured, except figs ineplaces
and possibly peaches.
Farmwo.k is we'll advanced gener-
ally, though backward in some sec.
tions where labor is scarce.
Corn planting is nearly finished in
the eastern and central counties where
most Of it is up to fairly good stands;
in the western counties planting is
we'll under way on uplands. Cotton
planting has been begun in the east,
ern parts and will be begun in the
western ones next week. Some cotton
Is already up. Tobacco plants are
small in Marion and they were slight
ly injured by the hail which fell In
sections. Rice planting is making rap.
Id progress in the Colleton district and
has not begun in the Georgetown dis
tricts where the proposed acreage will
be smaller than usual. Some sweet
potatoes have been planted in the
southwestern counties.
The small grain crops are generally
doing we'll and look promising, but
in some sections the oats crop is poor;
rye is heading. Pastures afford good
grazing in the coast counties. Gar
dens vary greatly, being poor in places
and backward, while in others early
