By Police.
CHASTITY STAB WOUNDS IN NECK
Aged Man Was Evidently Killed at
Point Some Distance from Where
the Evidence of the Crime Was Dis
covered,

New York, Sept. 5.-The body of an
Italian with a number of ghastly stab
wounds in the neck and breast was
found in a section of woods near ia
maica, l.. |. There was no sign of
struggle, or a weapon discovered.
The police decided, after a careful
study of the situation, that the muir
der resembled, in many respects the
famous barrel murder mystery and
others that have followed it.
In each of these cases the victim,
after the murder, was carried from
the scene of the crime and the body
disposed in some lonely spot Each
of the victims were of Italian birth,
and death mad been caused by stab
bing.
"Blacll-hand MURDER" has been the
verdict Of the police and they have
generally tried in vain to unravel the
mystery surrounding the cases.
The victim of the crime, like most
Of the others, is unidentified. The
body is that of man about 40 years
Of age.

If her system is in a deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia-
BILE appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the worlds great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs. A. Z. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, Md, in a letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
''I had been suffering with a displacement
for years and was passing through the change
of life. I had good deal of soreness, dizzy
spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I
wrote you for advice and commenced treat
ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as you directed, and I am happy
to say that all those distressing symptoms left
me, and have passed safely through the
change Of life well woman"
For special advice regarding this i'm
pOrtant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass
She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
Pinkham and for twenty-five years has
been advising sick women free of
charge. Her advice is free and always
helpful to ailing women.
