WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When Doctors Are PowerIess

Awoman is sick; some disease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
It was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinlzham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step in and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
y
army of her fellow-being are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham. in her laboratory at
LYNN, Mass, is able to do more for the
ai1inor women of America than the
family. physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond doubt the
power of Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

THREE WIVES APPEAR.
And Testify to Having Married Blue
beard Hocll.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Three wives of
JohannsEIoch appeared before the grand
jury today and testified to marriage to
the alleged Blue Beard. The women are
Mrs. Maria Emily Fosher, Mrs. Anna
Hendrickson and Mrs. Marie Goerk.
Each was accompanied by marriage
witnesses. e
that Johann Schmitt, who resided il
Hoch of Chicago, are one and the same.
Schmitt's career in Cincinnati lasted
from the middle. of the year of 1896
through 1897 and in that time he mar
ried, four months after the death of
her husband, Mrs. Henry Bartel.
A few months after her death he mar
ried Mrs. Fred Dress, widow of a saloon
keeper. Mrs. Doess- -Sehmitt afterwards
married again and now lives in Hamil-
ton, O., where she identified q photo
graph of Hoch as that of Schmitt.
St. Paul, Feb. lit is believed here
that Johann Hoch is the same man who
married a Mrs Hulda Nagel of st. Pa ul
in May, 1902, under the name of Otto
Won Kern, a Bavarian count. Soon af-
ter the wedding the count induced
Countess Won Kern to turn certain
real estate she had into cash and then
while the bride was down town shop
ping preparatory to a trip abroad 1or
which the count" at the same time
was supposed to be getting tickets, her
trunk containing $4,000 was broken into
and robbed of its contents. The count
then disappeared.
Mrs. Alma Beschorner, a sister of
Mrs. Nagel, says she believes, from
having seen Hoch's portrait in the pa
pers, that he is the man who married
her sister.

AloRsToFF GOES FREE.
Court Holds That He Didn't Assault
ROsseau Meade

Judge McCabe of the city court of
Topeka Tuesday discharged George
Morston in the case brought against
him by Rosseau Meade for assault and
battery.
Both of the litigants live in Memo
ken township. On January 20, Nor
stoff's cattle got into the pasture and
corn field of Mrs. Beatty. at whose
place Meade lives. Roy Fleming, J.
NJ Priddy and George Aushermann
were called together to adjust the
damage. They met on the road ad-
Joining the pasture and while busy
making an appraisement, Meade and
Morstom engaged in n fight.
Considerable doubt was manifested
by the witnesses as to who was the
aggressor. It was shown that Meade
was the first to take off his coat and
show signs of resentment. The court
gave the defendent the benefit of the
doubt and discharged him.
Though but five witnesses, including
the htigants, were called, about twen-
ty-five farmers from Menoken town
ship were present during the trial,
which began early in the morning and
was not concluded until late in the
afternoon.

An Explanation That Is Made I'm
Sorrow.

1t became necessary almost as soon
as we reached the Gulch, fifteen years
ago, to shoot man. He was man
who was making ready to shoot US,
and the coroner's jury acquitted us on
the ground of self-defense.
We soon discovered that if we in.
tended to remain in the glorious and
untramelled west and build I'D the
largest and best weekly paper on the
American continent. we should have
to shoot other men. and after giving
the matter our best thought we con-
Hcluded to hang on.
Our first man had not been dead
two hours when we purchased an acre
of ground and turned it into a, private
editorial graveyard-the only one Of
its kind in the known world. We re-
solved to inter our victims there as
they fell by the WaySide, and to pay
all expenses out of our own pocket.
This resolve we have religiously held
to through all the intervening years,
and long ago our p. e. 6. became one
of the sights of the Gulch. Four years
ago we opened it as a public park as
we'll and of a balmy summers even
ing hundreds of our felloW-citizens
have sought its seclusion to ruminate
on the mutability of all things earthly.
Two years ago, when we referred
to our private graveyard in a some
what extensive article, we gave the
list of its inmates at sixteen, and a
bref biography of each one was pub
ilSHSd- Inefe was no elatlOn on our
part because we had laid away sixteen
men who wanted to get the drop on
us In fact, it will be remembered to
our credit that we lamented the neces-
sity that had forced US into the posi-
ton We occupied. We further ex-
pressed the earnest hope that no fu-
ture occasion might arise. and stated
that we were more than content with
our record. When month after month
passed away without further trouble
began inf
