Mrs. Inna Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular.
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, OF $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes
Nv Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
u ''During the early part OF my married life l
was delicate in health both my husband and
l were very anxious for child to bless our
home but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia II. Pinkhnms
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it,
did so and soon felt that ! growing
stronger my headaches and bnckaches left
me, had no more bearing down pains, and
felt like n new womaD. Within n year
,became the mother Of strong, healthy
child the joy of our home. Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound IL certainly
splendid remedy, and l wish every woman
who wants TO become mother would try it"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is stcr-
lie, let her try Lydia Il. Pinlxham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice IL
free to expectant or wouldbe mothcrs.

Thrown at Presidents Train.

Washington.--As President Roose-
velt's special train was passing
through North Philadelphia at 1880
Saturday evening, en- route to Wash
ington, some unknown person hurled
a mason's plumb-bob through one OF
the windows The implement was OF
iron and weighed about two and half
pounds. 1t fell at the feet OF Major
Webb Hayes, son of the late Pres
ident Hayes. who was passenger on
the train. Fragments of broken glass
fell on Major Hayes, but he was In no
way injured. The car was in the for
ward part of the train and might easily
have been taken for the President S
private car. Major Hayes was sitting
at the window. A profile of him is not
unlike that OF the President. No clue
to the thrower of the missile was OBJ
tanned. The President himself knew
nothing of the matter until nearly an
hour after IL occurred.
Railroad officials are inclined to the
belief that the plumb-bob was thrown
by some boy, as incidents of similar
character have occurred before at
about the same time.

Are You Tired, Nervous

Nervousness and slceplessness are us
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nonrishing blood;
they are starred nerves. DIR. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs OF
the body are run as smoothly as machih-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strennous-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot Of physical or mental
work. Best Of all, the strength and In
crease in vitality and health are tdsttng.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icincs which have a large, booming sale
for a short time is that they are largely
composed OF alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly in lures the system. One may feel
exhilarated and be tier for the time being.

MILLIONS FOR GOOD ROADS.
Vast Appropriation for Wagon Roads
in New York.

w WV -o'N'
The people of New York having APP
proved the constitutional amendment
appropriating s5O.0O0,000 for the con
struction of a system of good wagon
roads in that state, the contemplated
work will soon be begun. Little or no
delay will occur in the preparation of
plans. for all that has been gone
through. Before the amendment was
voted upon, the whole scheme of road
building was Investigated and elabor-
ately worked out. This was true of
both financial and engineers details.
The people took no leap in the dark.
They were fully informed in regard to
the purpose of the proposed appropria-
tion and the manner in which it would
be expended.
One may picture the changes which
will be made in the interior of the
state. more especially in distinctly
rural communities. by the construction
of this gigantic road system. It will
not fall short of revolution in some
respects; for even the great and
densely populated state of New York
has not yet outgrown the crude con
dition marked by poorly constructed
highways. where traffic by wagon is at
nearly ull times difficult, tedious and
expensive.
With s50,0O0.OoO much work can be
done and much good accomplished
The people showed excellent judgment
in making the appropriation, which
will be returned to the commonwealth
many times over in reduced cost OF
Transportation and hence in larger re-
turns received by men who produce
or deal in commodities transported by
wagon over country roads.-Denver
