When physician tells a woman, suf-

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
1t, 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!
1t 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 great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's

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 following statements will ct least
be borne out. and they are mighty in

At its present rate Of growth New

be quite outstTipped by its newer Dor
oughs. London proper will be passed
by New York somewhere between
1909 and 1912. What is called the
London police district, an area consid-
erably more than twice ~ big - New
York's, will remain larger than New
York plus the nearby Jersey towns Tor

Meanwhile the worlds biggest col
lection Of human souls will be for 20
years longer neither New York nor
London. but that compact group Of
English towns with Manchester ~ .
center that now numbers some 9,000.-
600 souls. But by 1890 there seems no
present reason why New York should
not reach, rival or pass even that giant
human ,hive-always with the help Of
Jersey towns within q radius Of II
miles and practically in the city dis
trict. Within so miles of the city hall

The number Of students at the Uni

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. End Especial. J.
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter Of
I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She wa.
a great sufferer for five or six years, and
nothing seemed to DO her any good till
gan to improve almost at once, and now
She ia cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
~ am indeed thankful for what Dodd'a
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per
haps for life"
bodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results Of
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. If the KID.
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
in the blood and consequently no Rheu'

marked eccentricities. Browning was
one OF the best batters the profession
has seen. He was q natural hitter, and
hard one, good base-runner, and q
fair fielder. In appearance he was
slngularly tall and slender, slightly
stopped. and possessed peculiar for
ward pointing pair Of ears. Browning
was quite deaf, which, Of course, was
responsible for many OF his peculiari-
ties. Batting was his forte and his
lad. and his temper after a game was
reckoned by the number of hits he had
made. regardless of the outcome of the
contest. Ball players declared him to
be the best judge Of a bat in the coun-
try. and he generally had good as
sortment of them, and made special
" of preserving them. At the end of
season he would put them away in
water. One of them he would keep in
soak for month, another for six
weeks, and SO on, declaring that each
required q certain treatment. Then
he would oil them carefully and have
them in fine trim for the next CAM
paign. When showing his assortment
nc would speak of the bats much as g
trainer would Of his stable of race
horses. "Ah, that is a fine two-year-
old" he would declare, as he picked
one. out of the lot, and this one is .

other. Players declare Browning
never could be persuaded to sell bat.

Louisville club of the American assocl-
alton. He became third baseman on

for two seasons. Later he was shifted
to the outfield, which position he
played as long as he remained in the
game. He continued with the LOUIS

in 1890 became a member of the
