ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

Writing under date of Sept. 2, 1904,
Mrs. Matte Shafer, of Cumberland,
Miss, says: "Some time ago I or
dered and received your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies, which I used on
my little afflicted babe with wonder
full results. I had tried many other
remedies without any benefit what
ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue
when my doctors and all other rem
edies had failed. One doctor pro-
nounced it scrofula, the other eczema.
The little one was n solid sore, with
scales and scabs from head to foot,
when I started using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. The result was won
derful, and now my baby's face and
body are smooth and clear"

An eminent physician says that
'Women are not truthful; they will lie
TO their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
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
20 a 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.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corre-
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

PURE FOOD.
Pure Whiskey and the Effects of
Impure Whisky.

Unless tho rectiiers are too strong,
the present session of Congress is go
ing topassa Pure Food bill and include
whiskey. If they do, and these recti-
hers are forced to put the Gross Bones
and skull on their products, no man
will .'be foolish enough to buy It, al
though they do it now, and some with
the knowledge that it is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for this poisonous
stuff No one but the consumer him
self. There are two reasons for this.
Some want whiskey thattastes pleasant,
others want it cheap. To the first,
they should know that 100 per cent Of
ale is standard for pure liquor,
and 100 per cent of pure whiskey win
not drink as pleasant as water. The
Indians called it Fire Water. This was
before our forefathers knew anything
about thenew way of making imitation
whiskey. It was all pure then, cOnse-
quently, hot, 80 it is to day when it is
pure. To the second, the tax on every
gallon of 100 per cent Alcohol is ITO,
aud this alone is sufficient to make any
whiskey cost more than some want to
pay for it, and if whiskey is sold cheap
tits sold mean, that is when it is sold be-
low the possible cost of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent Of
AlcAohol may be too strong for most
people, but they always have the priyil-
eye in buying pure whiskey Of adding
water to suit their taste, and not pay
ing anywhere from $500 to $500 for
water, which IS surely plentiful most
anywhere.
