Roadway that I was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending all the means / hadI went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks I
vas in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering I was discharged as cured. In
less than a month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as II they
would break at the least exertion. Again
I was compelled to resign, and I returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When / came out 1 was advised to try
farming. When l first went on the FARM
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.

broken out with blisters and was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles Of
S. S.. S. for me and I began its use, and
after taking the thirteenth bottle not a
sore or boil was visible. R. B. POWELL.

of the cards are shown Some decks, which
We're apparently put upon the market at

oranmented with the pictured heads of
hunters and jumpers; others represent gor-

still others the foot ball hero holds forth
In many houses in which cards form the

of the cards vary with the seasons In
summer the dawdler over whist and casino
can acquire a reduced temperature by con-
templating waterfalls and forest vistas on
the cards in her opponents hand, while in
winter the blood may be quickened by the
sight of a snowy landscape.
The various sports too, are all repre-
sented in their season. Several years ago
when the cycling craze was at its height
1t was the fashion to decorate playing cards
with bicycles. In the last two years the
wheels have been superseded by automo-
biles. Many clubs and societies have their
cards made to order, in which case the
badge of the order forms the decoration.

The scallop was in high favor with
the Empress Eugene. and consequent

literally bescalloped.
The peerless Eugene rarely made a
mistake in matters of dress, and her
judgment was unerrlng. She was the

save for the ugly crinoline, the modes
Of that period were exquisitely grace

This season we are being treated to
a wealth of scallops, for the French
have taken a fancy to them, and thus
we are favored.
Many of the new gowns have no
other form of decoration than scallOps
bound with the same material. One
may perhaps suppose that this is a
most economical arrangement, but
scallops are only for the long purse,
unless they are made at home, for it
requires a deal of time to bind each
scallop carefully, and as the binding
down is done by hand, it is a long
task. and in large dressmaking estab-
lshments this sort OF thing means big
bills, but on expensive gowns fiounces
are scalloped till the whole is as fluffy
as with leaves.
Scallops are bound with a contrast

An eminent physician says that
Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician. This statement
should be quail fled; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to q
male physician, but this is only In re-
gard to those painful and Troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked. even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.~
ls it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information ia
work on !?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition Of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
