Green spotted a vessel on the star

class "old man." and the Simeon as
comfortable as a good bar parlor, com
pared with the sorry old bug-haunted
Palembang, where a mans toes got
sore with the pedicuring work Of cock
reaches. He made up his mind to
stick to her, as he evidently suited
Banks. They both got cracked a little
on the Simeon Rocks. and gradually
talked themselves into the belief OF
a shark stooth reef about a mile long
with one special fang that rlvalled
young peak of Teneriffe.
The Palembang came into Liverpool
River about three weeks after the
Simeon, and Green, hack at work
after ten days at home, had high
time with Wilson. But the shippers
passed each other with their noses In
the air as high as squirrels tails, and
never swopped word in a fortnight.

Just before the Palembang cleared.
Banks and Spiller fell up against each
other on the landing stage, and as
Spiller was full up to his back teeth
and uvula, he broke silence and went
for the upholder of the vigia in high
style. He could have taken first
class in bad language at any Austria
liam back-blocks academy of cursing-
and what they don't know In bias
phemy there can only be learnt from
a low-class Spaniard. So the air was
blue from Liverpool to Manchester,
and to the Isle of Man, and Banks
got up and left. For when he was
ashore he was very religious. Even
at sea he carried a prayer book and

' When q physician tells woman, suf'
fering from female 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 just such 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 a 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

escaped serious operations.
