When physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows

rolled up his eyes like Dowie, and said:

spector asked me If dad had any goods
on him that he hadn't paid duty on, and
{ told him he could search me, and that
all knew was that dad had used extra
precaution in making his toilet, and
that he had to wind about 40 yards of
lace around his stomach, which had
been troubling him since he had touch

at me as though he would like to electro
cute me for telling the truth.
The man told dad to peel off his out
side garments, and when he come to the
lace and began to unravel it from dad,
dad was more comfortable, cause his
clothes didn't fit so quick. When they
had got the lace off, and the gloves, dad
looked hurt, and said: ''The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away" and
the man said it would cost $40 dollars
fine, and dad paid it, and they kept the
lace. And when the inspectors left dad
and began to search fat woman, he
took me to one side and said: "You

truth of any boy ever met. Don't you
remember the verse in the Bible which
says: The truth should not be spoken
at all times" and then he was going to
give me swift kick, when l told him
to be careful or the diamond ring he

let up on kicking me, and finally we

Mole and His Habits.

In burrowing his tunnels the mole
seems to swim through the earth rath-
er than to dig his way. Although much
of the earth is never removed from the
runs, but is beaten hard into the walls
and floor of the tunnel, the creature finds
it more expeditions in busy times to
clear the runs of loose earth. This he
does at a point where the run comes to
the surface by pushing the earth before
him with his fiat forehead and face.
Sometimes, where the earth binds easily,
he pushes out the mold in solid round
plugs, showing the exact dimensions of
the orifce through which they have been
thrust. When the mole is hunting or
travelling underground he has no need
to throw up the earth. This is subse-
quent operation for the purpose of clean
ing the runs for regular use.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. End (Special.) y
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter of
I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was
a great sufferer for five or six years, and
she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She be-
gan to improve almost at once, and now
She ia cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per-
hsps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results of
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. If the KID.
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
in the blood and consequently no Rheu-
matism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the
Kidneys right.

ing pulled by the police of a foreign
country, l seem to be all right, and then
dad will tell me to always be truthful;
and when tell the truth, and dad gets
in trouble by my doing so, then he wants
to kick me. Every boy ought to have a
conscience that will prevent him from
doing wrong, not one of these vaccil-
