PORTO RIcAN GOVERNMENT
The Natives Themselves Are Not in
Favor of an Independent
System.

The recent memorial of the Porto
Rican municipalities for a larger meas
ure of self-government, the Brooklyn
Eagle thinks, is moderate and is justified
by the unanimity 81 the population rep
resented in its Is of the 66 municipal
divisions of the island being represented.
AS to what is asked, it said:
This would amount to an autonomy
nearly as absolute as that possessed by
the Dominion of Canada in it's relation
to Great Britain. 1t would be a larger
autonomy than has been SO far obtained
by any of Great Britain's West Indian
possessions and infinitely larger than
any measure of self-government which
we are here likely to contemplate for the
philippines in the next Is years. We
hope that the status of Porto Rico will
ultimately be that of complete auton-
omy, but it does not seem as if there
are any abuses under the present sys-
tenn which may not be corrected without
recourse to the precipitate policy of
surrendering nearly every shred of au-
tnorlty into the hands of the islanders.

When a physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian 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. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach 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 Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest. and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
