BARNUM & BAILEY'S
CIRCUS is COMING
Wonderful Repertoire of
Strange and Heroic
Features.

There is a general expectation that the
Barnum & Bailey Show will, in the mat
ter of size, more than ever merit its title
THE Greatest Show on Earth The fact
that il requires at least double the num-
Der of cars ever used before by any show
for its transportation substantiates the
statement, but aside from its bigness, it
will exhibit an enormous number of new
and exclusive features So numerous are
these features that it is impossible in any
limited space to name them all, but a
few of them are of such striking excel
lence that they may be mentioned. Among
them is the great spectacle prelude,
with which the performance begins,
which is said, without the employment of
extravagant language, to be the richest
and most costly spectacle ever presented
to the American public. 1t employs the
greatest number of people ever seen in
a display Of that sort, who are garbed
in the most costly attire ever used. either
upon a stage or in the arena. 1t is a
duplication Of the great Durbar in In
dia-
Another feature will be the magnifi-
cent display of horses Among these will
be the 300 head purchased by James A.
Bailey, the manager of the show, during
the past winter in the New York live
stock market, which the New York Her
aid, in its market report, said was the
ldI Etcl OiOtl CNCl pldCSO III any uOlSc
market in the world. The cost of these
horses in this one order was S100, 500, or
an average Of 1885 each. In addition to
these 300 horses, there are some 200 more,
which include the horses used in the
arena, thoroughbreds of almost every
species. A list of star circus celebrities
fills the enormous programme. Any one
of them might be selected for individual
mention and be well worthy of it. Per-
haps the most unique performances given
in the world are the several thrilling
Partisan death-defying acts, In which the
fearless experts tempt fate twice daily
in a manner which shows that they hold
life at a trifiing value, no matter how
much money they may receive for the
act. OF ell the well-nigh miraculous
performances given on a bicycle, those
of these artists thoroughly surpass in
daring, danger. dexterity, strength and
skill. One, the Dip of Death, consists in
looping the loop in an automobile, thrill
ing act performed by a young lady; an
other flies through the air on bicycle
and makes a flight over two chasms
while speeding down an incline, thus
doubly defying death twice daily.
The circus exhibits from September 3
to September 10, at Mission Park, Eight
eenth and Dolores streets.

Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of lydia z. Plnkhan's Vegetable
Compound Rests UpOn the Fact that It
Really Does Make Sick Wsmen Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia z. Pinkham Vegeta-
bic Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be a fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
Of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
uent for women are experiments.
WHY has Lydia z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has IL lived and thrived and
done It's glorious work for quarter Of
g century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
Is plainly and positively because there
Is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because 1t is
a palliative, but simply because 1t is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered TO act directly
upon the uterine system. positively
cURIEe disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
lydia z. 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 them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that il viii effect cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
bloatinp (or fiatulence), leucorrhRa,
falling. inflammation or liberation OF
the uterus. ovarian troubles, that
bearing-down feeling, dizziness,
faintness. indigestion, nervous pros
fration. or the blues. should take i'm
mediate action to ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia r. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound Anyway,
write TO Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass,
for advice. It's free and always helpful.

Reasons for self-destruction are

The dread of disease has been known
