Mrs. Anna Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
" During the early part of my married life

DRASTIC MEASURES TO

A Gloomy Outlook.

With the complete cutting on OF
ST. Petersburg from the outside world,
showing the failure OF the efforts OF
Count Witte 10 bring the telegraphers'
strike to and end, the Russian situa'
ton becomes more alarming than ever.
|. Is reported that a general strike OF
all branches Of industry has already
begun and that the railways may be
expected to stop running AT any mo-
ment. The situation at Sebastopol and
Cronstadt is cnveloped in deep mys.
terry and reports are steadily coming
in from various sources OF the spread
of the disaffection among the troops
at all points and the anger OF the peo-
pie in general at the threat Of the gov
eminent to mobilize another half mil
lion Cossacks for general service.
That the premier has changed his
attitude in dealing with the threaten
ing industrial and political situation
is one of the surprising bits of news,
Count Witte is said to be opposed to
further conciliatory methods and to
favor the adoption of drastic measures
for the suppression of the troubles in
the army and navy, as well as among
! the city workers and the peasants. This
report has amazed those who have
been aware Of the fact that a military
dictatorship was one of the pitfalls
which the reactionaries have been con-
structing in order to bring about the
downfall of the premier and the aban-
donment of the liberal program which
he has been engaged in carrying out.
1t is also reported in Berlin, from
whence the preceding report comes,
! that the Poles are already taking adj
vantage of the relaxation Of the gov
| ernments watchfulness and that the
revolutionists have again taken up
! their work where it was interrupted by
4 the declaration of martial law. DiStur-
Dances were reported from several
points today and Warsaw dispatches
say that strong bodies Of troops are
still held in the city in anticipation
of another outbreak of rioting and dis.
order. Several mutinies of troops are
also reported, but none on a large
4 scale.
Only vague reports have been re-
celved Of the peasant uprising. These
represent the movement as steadily
spreading in the Volga and central
provinces. Reports have also been re
ceived of minor anti-Jewish demonstra
tons on the south, but these cannot
be verified in the present state OF com
munication.
