Fairfax saw how i'll and how troubled
he looked. But he had not one word
OF courtesy; he turned abruptly and
cooked his hat, and threw his cloak
under his arm in that insolent way
he was ever used to when in his tenn
pers. And Oliver looked at me like
a man that has been struck in the face
by friend. Then he went to his
desk and worked faithfully, inexor-

Indeed, this interview with Fairfax
seemed to be the last Heavyweight he
could carry.
The next day he went to his desk
and began to write, but speedily and
urgently called for Israel Swaffham
When he answered the call, Oliver
was in great physical agony, but he
took some papers from drawer and
said, When am no longer here

An eminent physician says that
women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to q
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked. even by her family physician
This is especially the case with un.
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows, more about
the true condition of her patients
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form Of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once tc
Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs,
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol.
lowing are constantly pouring in.

THE Duke of Buckingham has been

to see Cromwell about the matter. He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking-

Cromwell told him that if the offense
were only against his own life, the
Duke could go free that hour, but that
he could not pardon plotters against

he can buy a suitable damsel for a
