summer-Bowel and Stomach Troubl


@. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the allmentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
trouble at the present time.
q. What causes Constipation!
A. Neglect to respond to the call of
Nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Ex-
cessive brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet.
O. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. It causes rheuma-
tism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kid
ney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is
the one disease that starts all others. In
digestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss Of
sleep and strength are it's symptoms
piles. appendicitis, and fistula, are caused
by Constipation. It's consequences are
known to all physicians, but few suf-
ferers realize their condition until it is
too late. Women become confirmed in
valids as result of Constipation.
@. Do physicians recognize this?
n. Les. IHe iiIsL qucslloA. your uOCbol
asks you is "are you constipated! That
is the secret.
@. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
iections, ETC., every one of which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
perience.
Q. What then should be done to cure
it?
A. Use the free coupon below at once.
Mull's Grape Tonic will positively cure
Constipation and in the shortest space of

A. 1t is Grape Compound that exerts
a peculiar healing influence upon the in
testines, strengthening the muscles of the
alimentary canal SO that they can do their
work unaided. The process is gradual but
sure 1t is not physic. 1t is unlike any
thing else you have ever used, but it
cures Constipation, dysentery and bowel
trouble. Having rich, fruity grape flavor,
it is pleasant to take. As hot weather
tonic it is unequaled insuring the system

This is how it all came about, and
why Mamie Gibson is going to attend

This is the story: Mamie Gibson.

with the Black mountain range rising
high on every side. A river rushing
like torrent through the gorge below
spreads away in soft silver loneliness
as it reaches plateau in the wilderness.
Nannie's mother had died but few
weeks before, and, being the eldest, she
became the Little Woman" of the
household. She was at work about the
house cooking and caring for the chill
dren when suddenly the mountain trem-
bled, and with the roar and crash of a
cyclone an immense slab of the noun

Goes to the Rescue.
1t was situation to appall anyone but
the little heroine with good cool blood
in her veins. She recovered her wits
instantly and became master of the sit
uation. Selling a red tablecloth, she
told her sister Patty. a little tot nine
years old, to run for her life down the
track and flag trains coming from below.
Then turning household affairs over
to little Julia, six-year-old mountain
kid, she ran like deer up the track,
where she knew a train would soon be
coming down the mountain. She had
no red tablecloth, but she switched

away from the girl and Rugged and
kissed her as if shewere the only heroine
on earth. Bob" Weaver, the engine
driver. had already picked her up in
his arms, calling her an angel whom
Heaven had sent to save the train and
its passengers. A dozen men, with
tears in their eyes. came forward and
wanted to adopt little Mamie on the
spot, while others, swearing or cry
ing, were taking up collection. Enough
money to fill Baptist preachers stove
pipe hat was raised in two minutes.
Mamie thanked everybody in a sweet,
bewi1dered way, but told them that her
mother was dead. and that there was
no one to care for the children and run
the house in the absence of her father
but herself
Told Her Story.
With the modesty of the violets by
her side, the girl talked shyly of her
family affairs, and explained why it
would be impossible for her to accept
the many kind offers showered upon
her for home in big house, with serv-
ants to wait upon her and a piano to
play after she had learned music and
other things.
She accepted the money. however, be-
cause it was pressed upon her. and they
told her that she could do what she
pleased with it. 1t was all hers, they
said

penny of it to her father, who is an in
dustrious and honest man. Instead of
going on North Carolina spree to

Thousands OF Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia {. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that u
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored TO
health by Lydia e. Pinl1hams Vegeta-
bic Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinlzham's office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinl1hams Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
a century?
Simply and surely because cf its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
PinIham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimu lant- because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered TO act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women Who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and ply sicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who Az troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, baclSache,
bloating Tor fiatulence), leucorrh9a,
falling, Inflammation OF liberation of
the uterus. ovarian troubles, that
"bearing-down feeling, dizziness,
faintness. indigestion, nervous pros
tratiou, or the blues, should take inn
mediate action to ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,

HE CASHED A CHECK
fl. 0. Finch, a TransitOry Sport, in
 the County Jail.

H. O. Finch was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The com plaint against him was sworn out by W. NJ. Mayors, one of the proporietors of the Casino, where Finch had q check on the Phoenix National Bank for $700 cashed the night before.
 Finch came here about two weeks ago. He is a young man of good ap- pearance. He said that his home was at Lexington, Ky, where he had been engaged in the saloon business. He appeared to have plenty of money and during his stay here he spent a great deal of his time about the gambling tables.
 On Wednesday night he asked MT. Mayors to cash a check for him. He said that he mad a balance in the Phoenix National Bank of S1,2S0 and showed his bank book in proof of it. MT. Mayors was not quite satisfied and called up Manager McCIung of the bank at his home. MT. McClung said that he believed that Finch had an account at the bank but he knew nOth- ing of the amount of his balance. The

bookkeeper or cashier would only know.
 Mir. Mayors finally accepted. the check and yesterday when he took it to the bank he found that F'inch's bal ance there was only $50. He deposited that amount about the time of his ar rival in the city and had not added to it.
 warrant was accordingly sworn out for his arrest and he was found late in the afternoon by Deputy Sher- if Davis as he was getting out of Q cab at the M. & P. depot to take the southbound train. He appeared sur prised and worried when he was put under arrest but on his way back to jail he recovered himself. He was locked up in the women's cell and will probably be brought before Justice Burnett today
 Finch said last night that the check he gave was in payment of conversa- ton bets he had been making. He said he had been drinking and did not really know precisely what he was doing. He said that if he could be released on bond he woulG be able to raise enough money to make the check good but so long as he was confined in jail he could do nothing for himself or his creditors.
 Finch is the man from whom the ho- bo Atwood snatched some gold while he had about $60O piled before him at the roulette game at the Palace a few days ago.

A PASSING LANDMARK
PhOenix's Original Court House I,
 Being Demolished.

The work of tearing down the first court house of Phoenix was begun to- day. This is the building lately occu- pied by Griswold's bicycle establish ment. On account of the softening of the side and rear adobe walls by the recent rains it became necessary to condemn the structure and that was lately done. The front wall was con demned a few years ago and an ornate brick front was put in. It will not be disturbed but the side and rear walls will be removed and replaced by brick Thus the building will have been re- stored piecemeal.
 This is supposed to be one of the oldest buildings in the city. After it had ceased to be the official seat of justice it was for a long time occupied by justices of the peace and in fact was so occupied until about eight years ago when it was given over 10 commerciaIism.
 It remained the seat of courts of in ferior Jurisdiction though of great in- heTent power until Wall street robbed it of its glory. Among the justices who occupied 1t were Tom Sherman James Richards, who was murdered few years ago by Fred ShaTer Will lis o. Huson and Henry Wharton. A great deal of justice has been dis pensed within those crumbling adobe walls in the most rough and ready manner.
