amendment was proposed by a set of
heartless and corrupt politicians, if not

that if they could secure au open vote,

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it. when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death lnell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations,
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach "a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia f.. Pinkham' 5
Vegeta BILE Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
MafgflJe hNan, treasurer OF SI. AN
drew's Society. Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:

Manager Morley is not particularly
disturbed over the w3rlike reports that
emanate from the training camp of
Clark Griffith in regard TO the decision
of Hal Chase to bide his time in Los

Griffith that he will see about the nom

equivalent to saying that he will soon
take hand in the game himself.
Mr.. Johnson is becomingly shocked
at the utter lawlessness of Morley and

Attorney Warner in his complaint
furnishes the public with some highly

Hundreds of homes have been and
are being made desolate, wives are
made widows, honest men have been
made thieves, and it has caused more
than a dozen suicides and nearly a
hundred men have been sent to pris-
ons and insane asylums. The public
conscience has become benumbed and
dulled; society has been degraded and
peace, contentment and happiness have
given place to misery, sorrow, shame
and dishonor because of this frightful
infamy carried on by the defendants in
open violation of the law" etc.
Fraud and other strong terms of the
