An Australian Mystery.

With the death Of Sir Augustus
Gregory the last Of the great Austria
lian explorers has passed away. His
demise recalls the most remarkable
mystery in the annals OF the common
wealth. Fifty-seven years have passed
since an exploring expedition com
manded by German scientist. Lud.sig
Leichardt. set out from Sydney to
cross Australia from east to west. To
this day nobody knows what happened
to that exploring party. Not a scrap
of paper. not solitary relic of its
fate, has ever been discovered. 1t
must have been either overwhelmed in
some natural convulsion' or absolutely
annihflated by the blacks. Sir Angus
tus Gregory led two expeditions In
search Of 1t. one of them organized by
the Royal Geographical Society.

When physician tells woman, Auf-
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 lsneil had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations.
1t is quite trne 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
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 E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan. Treasurer Of st. An.
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

spurs and isolated craggy heights
whose groupings give new and beauti-
ful views at every step. 1t is just an
immense mountain chain, an unbrok-
en- fold or crease on the earth's sur
face. Though the Alps have higher
peaks the lowest pass across the eau
casus is nearly double the height Of
the Alpine crossing places. The eau
casus has no lakes. only turbid mud
dy rivers flowing from the ice fields
of Its central ridge. Even these are
missing in the east, where the ridge
lowers toward the Caspian.

but to the north the great plains were
ever inhabited by the wild. lawless
nomads. And so from the very be-
ginnings of time the Causasus has
stayed the human tide, and as con-
quering races swept all before them
below, the weak, the peaceable, the
unfit have been driven higher and
higher into inaccessible gorges and
wild, bog-covered valleys.
Strange Mixture of Races.
A strange mixture of races. dating

each unintelligible to the tribes

related to the early tongues of Eu-
rope, others have no known af11nities
and seem to be among the languages
of Babel that did not catch on"

the ghosts of ancient people who have
