OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease Is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink.
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for womnn's
ills Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-wasc careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many SO called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements OF
the feminine organs quickly affect the
Kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust In it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin. she may be sure her kid
.neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it Is.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic OF any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring a drug
habit Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used off and on for twenty years. Such
a thing could not be possible if Peruna
contained any drugs of a narcotic nature.

QUAINT AND CURIOUS,

An old labor law in England in force
in 1888 contained the following six
clauses: Any tailor who joined a
union was to be sent to jail for two
months. Tailors must work from six
o'clock in the morning until eight at
night. Wages were not to be higher
than forty-eight cents a day. Each tail
or was to be allowed three cents for
breakfast. Any tailor who refused to
work was to be imprisoned for not
more than two months. If any en-
ployer paid higher wages he was to be
fined S25, and the workmen who took
the increase were to be sent to Jail for
two months.
An amusing story is told of some of
the richest men in the country who
were attending a recent directors
meeting at New York. Around the
table were j. p. Morgan, James Still
man, William Rockefeller, ]. ]. Hill
and Senator Depew. A messenger en-
tered with a package for the senator
on which $1.40 was due, and after GO
ing through his pockets the wonderful
Chauncey acknowledged he did not
have enough money to pay the bill and
asked financial aid. All subscribed as
much as they had with them, but these
multi-millionaires we're good for only
q little over 81 among them. A mes
senger boy had to advance the rest
In 1859 some distance southeast OF
Lake Nyassa, in Central Africa, Liv.
ingston discovered Lake Shirwa, a
body Of water about thirty miles long
and fifteen miles wide, which has now
entirely disappeared with the excep-
ton of few ponds in its bed. Lake
Nyami, discovered by Livingston at
the same time, has also disappeared.
The cause of the change appears to
be a gradual drying up of bodies OF
water in Central Africa. AS marking
the results of single half century
the changes named with no doubt 9TH
er equally important, but not recordedD
show a rapidity of mutation in those
inland waters not equalled elsewhere
in the contemporary geographer's sur
vey.
Discipline is severe in the German
army, and the treatment of privates is
sometimes unjustifiable. At Dessau a
sergeant who had been drinking to ex-
cess insulted two young women who
were escorted by a couple Of men in
the ranks. The privates protested to
the minor officer, who drew his sword
and attacked them, in his drunkenness
wounding one of the girls. In the af-
fray which followed the sergeant was
disarmed and felled to the floor. All
three we're put on trial. The sergeant
was sentenced to prison for five
months, while the unfortunate privates
were condemned to five years behind
the bar at hard labor, were dismissed
from the service and were deprived OF
their civil rights. Service as priv
ate in an army so regulated cannot be
a cause Of pride in time of peace.
