Respecting this letter it is hard to UNDER
stand the exact nature OF the complaint
that ia made against me. As nave said,
IL was my wife who was addressed and from
whom a categorical answer was asked. Is
il now asserted that her failure to answer
was my official misconduct? Such a conten-
ton puts the wife OF ar Aw;Sassador and her
correspondence in . new and singular light
l dc not make This distinction bet ween my
wife and myself as a technical ground for
evading responsibility. On the contrary, I
assume the whole responsibility for her
failure TO answer, for, as ! nave said, il wns
by my request that she did not notice the
letter; but | point out that the fact hat the
letter was addressed to her. concerned her
conduct, and requested in terms a personal
answer from her. and an answer which she
alone could have given, justified me in
dealing with the letter as one Addressed

her, personal to me. ] was entitled, ! in

rules of conduct which a gentleman
in private life might apply to corre-
spondence addressed TO his wife, and my
decision ia to be judged accordingly. At
all events. it was upon these consideration
hat I did act, and / had no hesitation in
deciding that the letter should not be

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
TO Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcoSD.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism aA
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THrRD.-The great volume of unso-
Ecited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory ut Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab-
solute evidence OF the value of Lydia
z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited TO
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters arc
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and tho
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-la!w of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish il she doesno take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.
