Cure for Obesity.

A certain fat man in New York who
wished to reduce his weight, says the
Youths Companion, began by collect
ing pamphlets offered by firms that ad-
vertise cures for obesity He was
much struck by the fact that all agreed
in one particular. While each firm ad-
vised the regular taking of its particu-
lar cure, and several said Others are
useless, and worse" all insisted that
great deal of exercise and peculiar
diet must be taken with the medicine.
About six months afterward, the
pamphlet collector, now no longer a
fat man, entered a New York drug
store.
I'm eternally obliged to you," he
said to the proprietor.
"How's that, sir?"
six months ago weighed two iiun-
dred and twenty-seven pounds. Now
weigh only one hundred and eighty"
would you kindly give me your
name and address, sir?'r said the fat
cure vender in great delight.
Certainly" and he gave it.
''If you'd allow us to refer to your
case. we should be greatly obliged"
Certainly. That's what I came in
for, I've written out testimonial" :"
He handed it to the oelignted pro-
prietor, repeated Pm eternally obliged
to you," and departed.
The druggist read the following:
Il have much pleasure in recon-
mending Mr.. ---'s pamphlet on
the cure of obesity. In consequence
of reading it, l have reduced my
weight in six months from two hun
dred and twenty-seven pounds to one
! hundred and eighty pounds, with great
/ benefit to my general health | rigid
ly followed the pamphlets advice to
take regular exercise and eschew fatty,
starchy and sweet foods. This saved
me good deal of money, for never
took one particle os Mr.. -'s

treatment for the Complexion.

Why are ladies so especially inter
ested in the complexion of their faces?
They ought to be interested in the
complexion of their whole bodies. 1t
is not of much consequence what
the complexion of the face is, II the
color of the body in general is right.
A clear complexion all over the body
is an indication of sound body
In England, when a pugilist is in
training for an encounter in the ring,
his trainer knows by his complexion
when he is ready for the fight. He
says. "This man is in the pink of con-
dition. because his skin is as clear as
a womans."
The skin is signboard for the
whole body. An unhealthy looking
complexion. a dry. inactive skin. is
an indication Of the unhealthy condi-
tion of the body all through.
Bathing is a good thing for the com
plexon: a cool morning bath will tone
UP the skin, invigorate the appetite
and stimulate the vital processes. But
the best cosmetic of all is a pure diet.
Those who have been brought up on
vegetarian diet usually have pure
skins. Healthy little children always
have clear skins. but as they get old;
er their skins often become dingy and
sallow. simply because they have
learned to abuse the laws of life and
health. and have indulged their appe-
tires with unwholesome things.

Mortality in the Army.

The splendid efficiency OF the Japa-
nese medical service In the recent war
taught military surgeons the world
over that 1t is no longer necessary for
an army camp to be one vast hospital,
and in no country was this lesson more
ieeded than the United States. Ac-
cording to figures printed by the New
York Globe 110070 Union soldiers
were killed in action or died from
wounds during the Civil War, and
249,45S died of disease. In the war
with Spain, only 26S Americans sue
cumbed to bullet wounds. while 1852
died of disease. This is in the pro-
portion of fourteen to one, while the
proportion in the Civil War was lit
tie more than two to one. 1t Is said
that out of 5000 French soldiers
sent TO Madagascar in 1894. only
twenty-nine were killed in action Of
died of wounds. but more than 1000
perished of disease

When physician tells a 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 l>nell 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 great many women have
been cured by Lydia +. Pinkham' S
Vegetable 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 L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan. Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian

Hearing how Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from

Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
Gloss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor. after making
an examination, said that l had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected

LAW URGED BY sELF-sEEKERs.
Real Animus of Movement against
RENE Hes Deservedly Popular.

An adroit but plausible scheme by
which II is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale of any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly la
beIed Poison" Such bills are also
well designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge: and whenever you hear a
demand for law of this kind 1t
originates with those who have
a direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale of proprietary rem
edies.
Some of the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which. If taken
in sufficient quantities. might be poi
sopous. and yet the preparation as a
whole Is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance, is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs. collie. diarrhea, etc. in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would he merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
ofsthe sale of those remedies. and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting ply
stefan and getting his prescription. In
other words. t. is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the rene
dies which they and their fathers be-
fore them have used for many years.
