When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary 1t, 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 knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because q great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. PinSham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said IN 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 Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society. Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
~ cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. Tho doctor said ! could
not get well unless l had IN operation for
ovarian and female troubles. knew ] could
not stand thestrain Of an operation and made

In connection with this warning 10
sounded TO the clerks that they must dis

states that the department does not

chief of a bureau for report In writing

Since these orders have gone into eff
feet in other departments there has been
q perceptible Improvement in the finan-
cial standing of government employees.
Business men generally agree that the
government clerk is their best paying
patron, and while he generally lives up
to the salary he receives there are fewer
delinquents In the matter Of bill paying
among the government clerks than in
any other class In Washington.

Mr.. Pettigrew Is naturally political
schemer and conspirator, and it was the
delight of his life to Illustrate the care
fully laid plans Of senate leaders. All
sorts of criticism and charges were
made, but no one was ever able to place
his finger on anything dishonorable or
dishonest in Mr.. Pettigrew's senatorial
career. He was simply not liked. He
would sit all hunched down in his chair
pulling strips of paper to pieces and
scattering them on the floor and glanc-
ing furtively from under pair Of shaggy
eyebrows while the two sides Of the SEN
ate were endeavoring to reach an agree

come back to Washington he would at
least liven up the sessions Of the SEN

last four years Of service in which he

90.OOt people die yearly from the results

Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
COMPOUND had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try IL, and in
less than four months was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret MerlSley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through tho pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, aud
extreme irritation compelled me To seek
medical advice. The doctor. after making
IN examination, said that had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided rs a Inst resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound.
"To my surprise tho liberation healed, all
the had symptoms disappeared. and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what 1t has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinliham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles. inflammation, ul-
ccration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrh@a, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.

discussing that affair the other day
said:
so far from being typical Of the gar
rison life in the army, the conditions
brought to light by the Taggart divorce
scandal are libel on the family OF every
man in the barracks. Beyond one or
two exceptions, never knew Of whis-
per against the honor Of married wom-
an in the army. The man who would de-
part from the highest standard Of per-
sonal honor could not remain in the
army.
II want to say that there is no place
in the world where woman's honor is
more safe than in the environments Of
an army post. There are no men more
upright, no men more chivalrous, no
men to whom I would sooner trust the
women of my family than the rough and
ready men Of the west-army or CIV
ilian. Respect for women is q char
acteristic OF our American manhood,
and there is no place where that fine
type of manhood n seen to better ad-
vantage than in the rough western couD-
try, where the post life Of the army Of
Acer takes him. The public should
make no mistake about the standards
Of morality Of army posts.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 2nd Especial J.
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure Of the little daughter OF
I. N. Whipkey Of Rheumatism. She was
a Great sufferer for five or six years, and
nothing seemed to do her any good TIL
she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She he
gan to improve almost at once, and now
she is cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says;
81 am indeed thankful for what Dodds
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per-
haps for life."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one Of the results Of
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. II the Nd;
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
In the blood and consequently no Rheu'
matism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the
Kidneys right.

Weston is now at the head Of the COM

dressed in q very dirty pair Of duck

boxes around like roustabout.
While the future president and Wes-

passed by with suspicious bulge about
his waist. Weston stopped him and

FRENCH CAEIf.ET QUITS.
Decision to Resign Is Reached by
Premier Combes and His
Colleagues.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The ministry of NJ
Combes, after emerging successfully
from its bitter midnight struggle in the
chamber Of deputies, has decided to
abandon the field while some portion of
its prestige still remains, and has sig
nified its intention of resigning. Off
cial announcement OF the designations
has not yet been made, but M. Combes
has definitely stated the intention Of
himself and his colleagues. Formal let
ters OF resignation have not been for
warded to President Loubet. owing to
the death of his mother, which occurred
Sunday. The effect of the change upon
the governments policies is not consid-
cred to be great. 1t is expected that the
new ministry, while not yet named, will
carry out the programme relating to sep
aration of church and state, although M.
Combes' retirement probably will exer-
else a moderating tendency. The issue
which proved most decisive in fastening
the designations Of the ministers was
popular outcry against secret reports on
the lives of army officers. The change
will undoubtedly insure the abandon
ment OF the last vestige of that system.
The enactment Of an income tax and
other important measures will not be
materially effected.
