regular and painful periods, MY health

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH
Or. Williams Pink Pills Really Cure
Indigestion Instead of Merely
Relieving Symptoms

There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas ON the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when You take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
by E. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
county, Tenn.
:" For years, he states, al suffered
greatly from Indigestion. L tried many
differenv remedies and some of them
would relieve me for a time, but the
trouble always came back. About six
months ago | had an unusually severe
attack, and while | tried every thing L
had ever heard of, | fond that none of
the ordinary remedies would reach the
difficulty this time.

dyspepsia of most stubborn type. |
then tried the same remedy and it

The tonic treatment has sound prin-
ciple as its basis. and abundant success i'll

defied all other remedies have been cured
by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
actually make new blood and strike at the
root of all diseases caused by bad blood.
They contain no harmful stimulants or
opiates. Every dyspeptic should read,

ereatest Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
In existence was the Furens dam Cn
France). the total height of which was
100 feet. Since then three very much
larger dams have been built in the
United States. These are the Croton
dam in New York, the Clinton water
works dam at Boston and the water
works dam near Denver, on the South
Fork of the Platte river says Critten-
den Marriott in November Technical
World Magazine. Each of these at
present holds the record in one re-
spect or another; the Denver dam is
the highest in the world; the Clinton
lmpounds the largest amount of water,
and the Croton dam contains the larg-
est mass of masonry. But the Salt
River dam, when finished, will exceed
each of these in its own specially; it
will be higher than Denver, will ex-
ceed the Croton dam in masonry, and
will impound twice as much water as
all three put together. 1t will be 270
feet high from foundation to parapet
will contain 100000 cubic yards of
masonry, and will impound more than
q million acre-feet of water; that is,
more than enough to cover million
acres (i,500 square miles) to a depth
Of one foot. 1t will form a lake five
miles long and one to two miles wide,
covering an area of $4,000 acres. Its
cost, with maintenance for ten years,
will be S3,000,000 or S4,000.000.

Great Slaughter of Ducks.

Every duck hunter who went out to
the lakes Sunday came home with as
many ducks as he could safely carry
under the law. The slaughter was one
of the greatest known in the history of
the state, as the weather was ideal for
hunting and the game was plentiful
in all parts. One inquisitive hunter,
who had his own bag well filled,
counted over 500 ducks at the station
at Barr, when the crowd was waiting
for the train. This did not include the
kill made by the members of the Hot
Air Clup, who came in by later train,
or of those secured by the men who
shot Upper Barr lake. The latter
usually go to their blinds in automo-
biles, returning the same way. A safe
estimate of the number killed about
the Barr lakes is therefore about LOO
AS this is only one of the many places
to which the Denver hunters went,
some idea may be secured of the num-
ber of duck dinners enjoyed in this
city yesterday.-Denver Republican.

Good News for All.

Bradford, Tenn, Oct 23d.-(Spe-
cial )-Scientific research shows Kid
ney Trouble to be the father of so
many diseases that news of a discov-
cry of a sure cure for it cannot fail
to be welcomed all over the country.
And according to Mr.. ]. A. Davis of
this place just such cure is found in
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Davis says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is

taken. 1 had Kidney Trouble very
bad and after taking a few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills I am completely

THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

De Soto looked for the secret of
youth in spring of gushing, life
giving waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. AL
chemists and sages thousands of
them) have spent their lives in quest
for it, but it is only found by those
happy people who can digest and as
simulate the right food which keeps
the physical body perfect that peace
and comfort are the sure results.
A remarkable man of 94 says: For
mary long years l suffered more or
less with chronic costiveness and
painful indigestion. This condition
made life a great burden to me. as
you may well imagine.
1.-TWO years ago l began 20 use
Grape-Nuts as food and am thankful
that l did. 1t has been a blessing to
me in every way. l first noticed that
it had restored my digestion This
was a great gain but was nothing to
compare in importance with the fact
that in short time my bowels were
restored to free and normal action.
"The cure seemed to be complete:
for two years have had none of the
old trouble. | use the Grape-Nuts
food every morning for breakfast and
frequently eat nothing else. Tho use
has made me comfortable and happy.

If her system is in deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
burden.
At this time, also. cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidit Y, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before
the eyes. Irregularities, constipation,
variable appetite, weakness and inqui-
etude are promptly needed by intelh
gent women who are approaching the
period of life when woman's great
change may be expected.
Lydia Il. Pinzham's Vegetable Com
pound is the worlds greatest remedy
for women at this trying period, and
may be relied upon to overcome all dis
tressing symptoms and carry them
safely through to 3 healthy and happy
old age.
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
indispensable Requisite In Compound
ing of Some Prescriptions.


ing Of Some Prescriptions.
It is of course true that some pro-
prietary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain it. No honest
man will defend the sale OF intoxi-
cants under the guise of medicine; but
every honest man should protest
against system of wholesale denun-
citation born of malice, or ignorance
of pharmaceutical principles, and fos-
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as
suped that alcohol is the cause of n
temperance; but there is a great diff
ference between alcohol and whisky.
If substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines, its Giscoverer would render
a great service to the profession or
pharmacy and tie science of medi-
cine, for alcohol is very expensive
ingredient and a cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun-
ately the word alcohol. in the minds
of many people is associated exclu-
sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This is due to a lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than 70 per cent contain
1t in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re-
quired to dissolve substances not solu-
BILE in water, while it contributes to
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts; and whenever a greater
strength of alcohol is required as a
solvent flor extracting medicinal prin-
ciples) the medicine Is of such a char
acter as to preclude large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
If containing 80 per cent or more OF
alcohol. are practically less into~Icat-
ing than beer. In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
Is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assr me that
any great number of proT rietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest absurdity.-EXchange

Home Climate Cures Best.

Emphasizing the fact that he did not
deprecate the value of high attitudes
in the cure Of tuberculosis, DR.. S. A
Knopf, before the New York State Med
Ical Association, asserted his belief
that cures obtained in ordinary home
climates, while requiring longer, seem
to be more lasting.
DR.. Kopf declared that the modern
sanitarium for consumption is the SAT-
est place not to contract a tuberculosis
disease and instead of being a menace
to the neighborhood, is a benefit, be-
cause Of the lesson of cleanliness and
health it teaches.
