haA Free, and aEosoyS Helpful

FIRST.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation. leucorrhoea,
diSplacementS of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.--The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
Z. Pinlxham's Vegetable Compound
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing baclxache
nervousness, kidney trOu bleS, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruatiOn perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable In preparing for childbir
and the change OF life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
lcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass. many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and

On the day following the railroad

a party of newspaper men were waiting
in one of the cdnpany's offices awaiting
news, word came that some of the rail-
road claim agents had already settled
with and secured releases from some of
the injured passengers.
That called forth a story of the eX-

sent to settle with d passenger injured
in a wreck on a southern railroad in
which a coach had rolled down an en-
bankment. The passenger had several
ribs and a leg broken. a scalp wound

urer of the Barnum & Bailey shows deliV-
cred $4,000 in silver and $4,000 in gold

receipts for Wednesdays two performan-

and evening brought the show people
much less than those of the preceding

those of Wednesday from a spectacular
point of view as, owing to favorable
weather the Durbar was given with all
appurtenanCeS.
In the afternoon the attendance totaled
about $500, while the night exhibition
drew much larger crowd. Taking the
totals for both days it is safe to assert
that half the population of Sal Lake City
took the opportunity of witnessing the
Barnum Bailey show on its first west

The big show is in Ogden this afternoon
