Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations / decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
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 had ovarian trou.
| BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as last resort to try Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound :.
ssTo my surprise the liberation healed, all
| the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
| more strong, vigorous and we'll; and L cam
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
i steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia Il,
Pinlzhafffs 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

When physician tells woman SUI
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 knen had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operation
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 a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham'
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 =. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society. Hotel English, Indian

eRosLyM IN THE COTTON BELT

1t is significant circumstance
that leading newspapers have COM
menced TO argue the desirability of
Chinese and japanese immigra-
ton for the Southern States. The
Charlotte Observer says it is
ready to commit itself to the
advocacy of such migration. eff it
be true" it says, "that the South
needs more labor-and everybody
says it does foreign labor
halfso good as that it could secure
from the Orient, except for this
exclusion law? We would chance
it ten to one in preference to that
we might secure from Europe"
That the South has labor prob
lem on its hands, none can deny
Unless our great cotton industry
is to suffer greatly, the ime is not
far distant when the labor ques-
ton will have to be settled. 1t is
clear that there is positive trend
of both whites and negroes from
the farms. The negroes, for one
: reason or another, are, however,
leaving the farms in greater vol

Just Words.

Superintendent of Insurance Hen
dricks, of New York. has filed his
final report upon the investigation of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Its principal value is in its inevita-
bic renewal of the suggestion that
somebody should investigate the de-
partment over which Mr.. Hendricks
pTesides.
It is true. Mr. Hendricks and his
aids have discovered that the Equit-
able, at the time of its last report
to the public. padded its surplus ac-
count by some $4,000, 900, but little
financial vagaries Of this kind have
become now as wearisome as a
thrice-t0ld tale. That phrase, indeed,
in its application TO insurance com
panies, is wholly inadequate to de-
scribe the situation. The tale has
been told hundred times-anj
more.
As to the loans made by the COM
pany or its officers to persons who
basked in its smile, there is not a
single word of new information. The
yellow dog fund" the subject and
occasion of much interesting specu-
lation. remains shrouded In the mys-
terry that has enveloped it. The S600,-
600 payment made TO the Mercantile
Trust Company by the Equitable and
finally disposed of by the latter,
through a debonair consignment to
profit and loss, is described-that's s
all. Who ''profited" by this deal and
others is not intimated, but EQuita-
bic policyholders viii find no Diff
Guilty in determining who lost"
In other words, the report of Super
intendent Hendricks is exactly of the
character that State insurance de-
partments have been making in the
past. II teens with figures, words
and dollar marks. There is a track
less waste of them, unreneved by any
single oasis of plain, concrete fact.
The reportStells what everybody al
ready knoAs-and by no means all
of that.

able strength that has been display

in the New York mayoraIty campaign

Of government" They have, very
frequently, too much.
But Secretary Shaw's chief blund-
er lies in his disregard OF the tend
ency to establish an organization or
name as more important than the
principles those institutions assume
to represent When Sumner stood
out against the entire Legislature OF
Massachusetts he was the only true
Republican of them all, as Seward
was the best Republican in Wash
ington during the administration
which began with Lincoln and ended
with Johnson, and as Cleveland was
the best Democrat in his party when
he fought practically its entire or
ganized strength in the cause OF
honest money.
The moment party regularity over
shadows the principles on which it
is supposed to rest, it either leads
to the profit of men like Tweed, Mar
tin. Platt of New York, Lee of Mis-
souri,. Lorrimer, Croker, Ames of
Minneapolis. Quay, Addicks, Dur
ham of Philadelphia, Butler Of ST.
Louis. and Cox of Cincinnati. or it

troll These were all party men and
regular" No @ne of them was ever
bigger than his party" Does Mr.
Shaw mean to say that they are his
chosen associates?
The right kind of a party man is
ready to be an independent when
ever his principles are threatened.
Until the men of that stamp attain
TO such a control of their bosses that
they can drive them from their seats
and elevate better men, the only
hope of the nation lies in compelling
the men who now head the machines
to observe the demands of good gov
ernment There is only too much
evidence that nothing short of COM
pulsion will serve. The force re-
quired is votes-and the greater the
number of independents the greater
the need of the machine for their
voting strength, and, consequently,
the greater the concession the ma
chine is ready TO make to the atti-
tude represented in that incomplete
list above which begins with the
name of one of our greatest states
men and ends with that of one of
our greatest reformers.

Physicians are discussing a cabled
statement from Edinburgh that Sir
Frederick Treves. King Edwards ply
sician. had announced to the Philoso-

Diseases. said Sir Frederick. are really

Inflammation. for instance, he said Is

Without peritonitis appendicitis would

Sneezing and coughing are fine ways
Of getting rid Of bacteria.
All manifestations of consumption are
merely the expressions OF unfiagging ef-
forts on the part OF the body to oppose
the progress of the invading bacteria.
Sir Frederick Treves told the Phil
Society there were several dis
eases. however. that We're really mai

rule-among them cancer.
