A CURE. FOR DEBILITY
Or. WIIIIams' Pink Pile 4 Rsllah,e
hemedy for the WeaD, AIIIna
and 6loodIosa.

When the body Is weak and the blood
thin it Is sometimes difficult TO find thu
cause unless wasting Illness has pre-
coded. or the sufferer happens 70 be !
girl on the verge Of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something nm.
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impoverishment OF
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. O. e. Legg, of Upton. w. Va.
has found successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlesaness. He
says:
81 used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1895.
The worst effects of this were indipes-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas
an8mic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that I didn't have
blood enough, or that didn't have the
right kind Of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.

from my stomach. There was a good
deal Of pain, too, in my back aud under
my right shoulder blade"

For over two years. For four
months of that time was under the
care Of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile / learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills."

" l certainly do, and also know that
they are helping others to whom have
recommended them. They have real
merit and know Of nothing that would

In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
. builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked BY
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and .
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days Il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in q physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained q won
.derful knowledge Of tho curative prop
critics OF the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took . great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that Just a. nature so
bountifully provides In the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; so, If We but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
Of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ILLS and weaknesses Of the body, and
It was her pleasure to search these out.
and prepare simple and effective medi.
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was . rare combine
ton OF tho choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this 20 far was done freely, with
out money and without price, q .
labor Of love.
But in 1879 tho financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, a. this class
OF business suffered most from
fearful depression, 90 when the Centen-
NAL year dawned It found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
OF income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's

little credit. Their FIRST laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and

Then came the question of selling

1t away freely. They hired q job
printer to run on some pamphlets
setting forth tho merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased. ,.-en,- Is,
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM
lily had saved enough money TO COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were Assured, until to-
day Lydia e. Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house,
hold words everywhere, and many
tons OF roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to SEQ the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively - she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q vast collabora-
ton OF information regarding the
treatment Of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
In all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her In her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell thu
direction of the work when It's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
i've years she has continued it, and
nothing In the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pom, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of . large family, took
It up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.

BERGER MADE
FINE SHOWING
Californian Handed Jack O'Brien
a Surprise % Brien Has Hard
Time to Win on Points.

In the ring of the National A. c.,
in Philadelphia. last night Sam Ber-
ger, of California, gave Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien the battle of his life.
For his first appearance in the pro-
'fessional ring, Berger, who was the
amateur heavyweight champion,
made a remarkable showing. He was
the aggressor in every round and it
took all of O'Brien's wonderful speed,
remarkable cleverness and splendid
ring generalship to gain him the vic
tory on points. Berger overweighed
O'Brien by at least twenty pounds,
and proved to be the harder hitter of
the two, although O'Brien showed
time and again that he can punch
much harder than when he was last
seen in Philadelphia eighteen months
ago.
The bout went the limit of six
rounds. 1t was by far the fastest set
to ever witnessed in Philadelphia be-
tween heavy-weights. There was
scarcely a moment from start to fin
ish that the men were not in action,
and the clinches were very few in
number. Once or twice O'Brien when
hit hard in the stomach clinched or
danced away until he had recuperat-
ed somewhat, and Berger hung on
several times when O'Brien racked
him with swings on his jaw. Berger
showed considerable cleverness, but
not the speed that vas expected of
him, although he was very quick to
take advantage of any openings that
O'Brien gave. These were rare, but
every time Berger saw his chance he
let go a damaging blow.

Fishing


A skillful young fisherman, Benja-
min A. Robinson, Jr., OF Newark,
caught a two-pound weakfish at Sc
warren IA few days ago. .
HENRY Hayden. Joseph Bulger and
James, Armstrong, of Newark, have
caught Nm the neighborhood of $50
weakfshl the past week. They ave
been fishing on the middle ground in
Princes Bay. They made n catch
of seventy-five in two hours Satur-
day. some of the fish weighing from
four to six pounds. While their catch
has been largen they could give as
many more away.A Last Monday they
struck a school of Nblue fish that kept
them busy repairing theIr tackle.
The largest blackfsh caught OF
Rockaway Beach in twenty wears
was that hooked last Thursday when
Louis Newmeyer, of Jersey City. a.
member of the Rod and Reel Fishing
Club, of that city, landed a blackfish
weighing thirteen pounds. Mr.. New
meyer was angling from the Anna K.
of Bergen Beach.
]. T. Rush and John Stephens were
fishing for catfish in the Juniata riv-
err, near Tyrone, Pa, last week. They
had caught several fish, and finally
Rush got a bite; heatried to pull out,
but found that his hook was fastened.
After a hard pull the line came up
and on the hook was a two-gallon
jug. Being curious to know what
held the hook in the jug, Rush broke
the jug and found a twelve-inch cat
fish, which had swallowed his hook.
Besides the waters of Raritan bay
and river, Princes Bay and the sound
between here and'the island, fish are
biting well elsewhere. There are
plenty of school weakfish at Sewaren
and Boynton Beach, but the early
morning tide is the best this week.
On the Staten Island shore, opposite
Bcynton Beach, a good catch OF
striped bass can be had If the angler
is an expert and uses large blood
worm bait. Boats from C~heesequake
creek have made good catches OF
weakfish with a few bluefish thrown
in. Blood worms and shrimp seem
TO be the best bait. Eels are biting
in the creek and plaice along the jet
ty., Keyport boat keepers are MAX
ing a bid for the hand-line fishermen
and they are showing results. as a
number of big catches were made
there this week. Shedder crabs make
the best bait there. The fish in the
Shrewsbury river are large. Even
the fluke are big. Eel fishing in that
river is very poor, no doubt due to
over fishing. Fluke fishing is good
off the point of Sandy Hook, while
Flynn's knoll is an excellent sea bass
ground just now. Almost any place
near Romer light a good catch OF
porgies can be had, and big sea fell
lows at that. To the man who don't,
like to fish from the boat, the Mid
land Beach and Coney Island piers
are recommended, as the day and
night fishing for weakfish, ling, e
bass and blackfish is good. Bait can
be secured on the piers. At the fish
ing banks. sea bass and ling are be-
ing caught, but not in large quanti-
