IN DEFENSE OF
PROPRIETARY MEDICINES.

The Tampa Herald rises to the de-
tense Of the patent medicine manu-
fscturers and characterizes the at
taeks made upon their preparations
BY several weekly papers Of more or
less prominence as silly rot" The
Herald has the following to say upon
the subject:
Considerable interest has been
aroused lately by the attacks made by
one or two weekly papers OF general
circulation upon proprietary medi-
cines in general and the daily and
weekly newspapers. The specific
charge was made that these medicine
manufacturers and the newspapers
had entered into a conspiracy TO sell
the r,sblic lot Of cheap patent med
icines," composed largely OF cheap
whisky.
The Herald does not believe the
situation warrants the charge as made,
and although much has been said
about the matter, yet very little evil
dence has been adduced to show that
there is any real foundation for the
Wholesale charges.
That there may be few worthless
and harmful preparations on the mar
kOt. the Herald viii not deny, but il is
safe to venture the assertion that they
spend very little money with the
newspapers for advertising. They
nay send out short time order and
expect to make what they can on the
Grst sale, but they certainly could no:
Orpect 20 continue TO advertise q
worthless or harmful article and sell II
tArough the influence of the newpspa-
pers.
Advertising is good thing and will
sell any article at some price, pro
vsded that article has real merit. Be
yoad this newspaper advertising Is
pOwerless and it could not build up a
continuous sale of a harmful medi
cine. This would. within itself, dis
pse of the silly charge as made by
these concerns, perhaps whose real
grievance is that the manufacturers
q not seek that class of mediums
through which to advertise. The Her
cd does not charge that this is a fact
but there is at least grounds for sus
plcion.
TIE general run Of proprietary med
icines which are offered for sale and
which are most widely advertised are
those which have been in the market
Tor many years and they certainly mus
have some degree OF merit IN them
- continue to bring In business and
repeated or0ers. Did they do this. the
newspaper advertising would not sci
them without something back OF It.
The silly charge that the newspa
pers are in a conspiracy with the man
ufacturers is as unfounded as Il 1.

simply smile when they read sucl
stun.

No YOUR OWN THRESHING.

II is a great point to be able to
.brosh from the shock. 1t saves grain
onJ m saves handling. This is sufficient
az @l orcount for the growing popu-
ior;tv io of the small or individual
tbrpsher as against the job threshing
ontft with it's long train of helpers to
Ia % housed and fed. Another point
tbot ~ argues strongly with all farm
o-a who wn small threshers is the
natter of time. They thresh just
when they are ready, whenever the
~ro;n Is lust right. when the Weather
= fine. Their neighbors must wait
mill the threshing outfit comes their
wav and go into the job with the
weather Just as it happens to be. For
those reasons there is a constantly
widening field for the excellent small
tbreshers manufactured by the Belle
Citv Manufacturing Co., of Racine
Junction. Wis. This line of machin-
erv has become so well known as
hardly to need any words of commen-
dation. Individual farmers or neigh
borhoids wanting to avail themselves
of such advantages and such ma
cbinerv cannot do better than to get
in touch with the Belle City people.

a musical way. Mrs. Reming-

delighted the guests with sew

Mrs. Reynolds favored the crowd
with a duet, which was very we'll
received. Among the guests
were Messrs. and Mesdames
Henry Hurd, George Van Tuyl,
Frank Martin, besides a large
number OF young people. The
apartments at the Windsor are
among the most elegant in Mi
not and the hotel is an ideal
place for such a gathering. The

DISGRACEFUL STABBING
OF "B|G GEORGE"

A disgraceful stabbing ARRAY
occurred in front Of Whites livery
barn Thursday night when "Big
George, a man weighing $50
pounds, was stabbed three times
in the abdomen by a little car
penter. The fight was witnessed
by quite a crowd who did not
care to stop it. The knife used
was a common jack knife as
sharp as a razor, but at the
third stroke it closed in the little
carpenters hand, and no doubt
saved "Big Georges" life. One
wound was four or five inches
long and nearly severed the walls
of the abdominal cavity The
injured man was taken to doc
tors office where the wounds
were stitched up. The fellow re.
fused to swear out a warrant for
the arrest of his misunderstanding
be deserved what he got. The
fight was caused over jealousy
over a woman, who has been
making her headquarters in q
blind pig back OF the livery sta
bic. The fight did not occur
over stolen eggs as stated BY
another local paper.

RoJEsTVENsKYs CAREER.

Contrary to the precedents existing
 in the sister service, Rojestvenslxy is
 a comparatively young man-that is,
 he IS well under 60. When passing
 through the Russian naval schools he specialized in marine artillery. As a lieutenant he served during the TurkO
 Russian war in 1S77-7S under Baronof,
 on board the Nesta, and is credited by
 his own countrymen with having given
 evidence during this campaign of pre- eminence rarely met with in one so
 young. Latterly-that is to say since
 the Dogger bank incident-we have seen published in this country derog-
 atory statements concerning the char
 acter which Rojestvensky earned dur
 ing this campaign. But although it is
 quite possible that published tradition has overestimated the prowess of the
 little Vesta and her crew we find that it
 will be equally just to discount the un-
 complimentary reflections which have
 recently seen the light; anyway short
 ly after the close of the Turkish cam
 paiEn ROjestventslxy, decorated and promoted, found an appointment to his liking in instructing the Bulgarians in
 river navigation. But it was as attache to the Russian embassy in London that the full measure of Rojestvensl1y's ca pacity was realized b- the sailors in 1 this country. In 1894, after a very con siderable experience throughout Flu rope, the present commander-in-ch chief commenced his association with Ad- miral Alexieff He accompanied that notable to the Pacific, when the vice admiral flew his flag from the mast head of the Vladimar Monomakh. This commission in the far east covered the Japanese Chinese war. After having commanded the guardship Pervenietes ] for some months, Captain Rojestvenslky returned home to undertake a success l sion of staff appointments, until in 1 1903 he succeeded Avellane as head of | the general staff of the navey.- l Blackwood's Ma~azine.

through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham. of Lynn. Mass, which is given to sick women absolutely free of charge.
 Mrs. Pinkham has for many years made a study of the ills of her sex she has consulted with and advised thousands of suffering women, who to-day owe not only their health but ever life to her helpful advice.
 Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of Chestnut Street. Bradford, Pa, writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham =
 '' I suffered for a long time with womb trouble, and finally was told by my physician that had tumor on the womb. 1 did not want to submit to an operation, so wrote you for advice. l received your letter and did as you told me, and to-day I am completely cured My doctor says the tumor has disap- peared, and 1 am once more a well woman. believe Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Com pound is the best medicine in the world for women"
 The testimonials which we are con. stantlypublishing from grateful women establish beyond doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound to conquer female diseases.
 Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn, Mass. She asks nothing in return for her advice. It is absolutely free, and to thousands of women has proved to be more precious than gold.
