THE MONTHLY TRIAL
Headache, Dizziness, Bearing
Down Pains.
A Woman Tells How She Has Become
Well and StEeag After Years Of
Misery Due to Irregular Functions.

The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy checked. strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.
If all women so afflicted would follow
the example of Mrs. Davis they would
soon escape these trials. She had a long
experience of the most wretched feel
ings- She tried doctor after doctor un-
successfully and experimental with
numerous preparations advertised to
cure female complaints, and then at
last she found one medicine of genuine
merit.
For four years. said Mrs. Davis re-
Gently, I suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every month, ac-
con1panied by fainting spells, shortness
OF breath and severe pain in my left
side. There were also bearing-down
pains at times so acute that could not

ringing sounds. It seemed as if every

but I got no lasting benefit from any

MY husband got them for me on the

Railroad Gives His Views.
Chicago. March 17.-"Railroad advertis-
ing in newspapers has grown wonderfully
during the last two years, and railroads
are ali the time increasing the space they
take in newspapers, was the statement
made last night by Charles s. Young, ad-
vertising manager of the Chicago Mil
waukee and ST Paul Railway company,
in a lecture on Railroad Advertising.
course of the University of Chicago's rail-
road school at their hall in the Fine Arts
He gave a thorough and lucid exposition
of the methods employed by advertising
departments of the large railroads of the
country in giving publicity to their re-
spective lines and in setting forth the adj
vantages of superior. service. low rates, or
other inducements that would sell tickets
for the road and increase its dividends.
Greatest results, he declared, had been
obtained from newspaper advertising, and
other forms were gradually being dis
pensed with in favor of it.
Mr. Young said IN part; Railroad adj
vertising of today may, like all GauI be
divided into three parts-adv ertising to the
travelling public or to the public who may
travel advertising to the agents of the
home road and advertising to agents of
connecting roads. The church will pardon
the illustration if I say the railroad adj
yertlsing to agents may be Hkened unto
home and foreign missionary work Both
are important, and, as with other mission
airy work, it is always question whether
more money should be spent in home or
foreign work
''One method used by the railroad com
panies to promote publicity and bring
business is through mailing cards, leaflets.
folders and posters Mailing cards and
leaflets are sent to the agents Of connect
ing lines by a railroad to keep them in
formed in regard to special features or
advantages of that road. Home agents
of the road are sent advertising matter in
various forms, including large newspaper
advertisements, newspaper clippings, cards
and folders, to bring before their minds
special features of the road and to arm
them with information which they can
use in directing patronage to the com
pany.
In the last two years, however, the
railroads have found that newspaper ad-
vertising pays best, and other forms have
been gradually dispensed with and the
money formerly devoted to them turned
into neWSpaper publicity.'

New York, March 1.-THE strike
of French coach builders operatives
is increasing in intensity, according to
a Herald dispatch from Paris. The
masters have announced that having
made all concessions possible they will
close their works until the men return
to work in sufficient numbers to en-
able them to resume business. The
men appear quite determined to fight
on and have voted for a continuation
of the strike. Automobile manufac-
turers are reported to be suffering
much inconvenience and delay.
