The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures arc reported from
ell parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
| Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follows
ing letter proves it.
DR.. s. G. Brigham, Of 4 Brigham

the benefit of wider experience in

thousands to health. Every suffering

advice if she wants to be strong and
well.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 91.-The

people On earth. They appear crushed.
They desired money for their nations

mura says it is victory for the peace
at-any-price faction at home
The Russians are Jolly; the Japanese
are in gloom.
Russia pays no indemnity.
Russia regains her interned warships.
Russias naval power remains unlim-
tied in the far east.
That is the way the Russians look at
it.
But here is the way the world looks
al it:
Japan has demonstrated her ability to
fight on land and sea, and to crush the
greatest armies of a European nation
of modern times.
She was victorious on the sea, in the
greatest battle between modern ships
ever fought.
The japanese nation stands to-day as
one of the greatest in the world. This
position it has gained through the war.
Isn't that of itself a greater accom-
plishment without worrying about an
indemnity?
Then again:
Japan has gained the right to sit in
the college of nations. They have shown
the world the moral fiber of their race
and the inherent fighting power of the

Watkinsville, Ga, June 30.-Nine

masked white men within 200 yards of

ground when the volley was fired and
feigning that he had been killed.
The names of the prisoners who
were killed are: Louis Robinson,

Joe Patterson, negro, feigned death
and the mob left him, thinking he, too,

with being implicated in the murder
of Mr.. and Mrs. Holbrook several

Guanajuato, Mex, July 4.-The loss
of life as the result of the recent food
here is now estimated at 500. Over
200 bodies already have been recov-
cred. Burial of the dead is progress
ing rapidly, although many bodies are
thought to be among the ruins OF
houses and are difficult to locate. The
property loss will aggregate more than
81 100000. Great suffering is prev
alent, but aid is being received from
surrounding towns and semblance of
normal conditions, it is believed, will
soon be reached.
The disaster is unparalleled in the
history of this city, during which
many floods have been recorded In
times past. Guanajuato, owing to It's
situation in a great ravine or gorge,
has been subjected to foods sweeping
down from the mountains and much
loss of life has been recorded, but the
