Thousands of American women, how.
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. 1t cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ca, writes:
"Lydia E. Pinkham'svegetable Compound
Is a true friend to woman. 1t has been OF
great benefit to me, curing me of irregular
and painful periods when everything else Rad
, failed, and gladly recommend it to other
suffering women"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache,
bloating Tor fatulence), displacement
of organs, Inflammation or liberation,
that bearing-down feeling, dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
GUS consequences, and be restored to
perfect health and strength by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and then write to Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn, Mass, for further free adj
vice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia
e. Pinkham and for twenty-five years
has been advising women free of
charge. Thousands have been cured
by SO doing.

the children. When the entertainment
had finally ended the president went tt
Willie's bedside and remained there al
night
1.-TWO weeks from that night Willie
died, and all who knew the presiden,
grieved with him over the loss of his
son. After that event little Tad be-
came an almost national pet. On the
night the president was assassinated
Tad's grief unnamed the stoutest
hearts. He was dazed and could not
be persuaded to desist from repeating
continuously: They have killed papa
dead; they have killed papa dead. -
Tad survived his father but few wears
and died in Springfield at the age of
Is. His fathers death was a shock
from which he never entirely recoy-
ered."
During Johnson's occupancy five
grandchildren lived at the presidential
residence. One, little Belle Patterson
celebrated there her ninth birthday in
very great state. The Grants brought
four children, and while their daueh-
ter Nelly was yet child she was intro
duced to society. President Grants
grandchild, Julia Dent, was born in
the White House, the girl baby who be.
came the Princess Cantacuzene.
Five children accompanied President
Hayes when he took up residence in
Washington, and a merry household
they made. President Garfield also had
sizeable family of young children.
The Arthur children numbered two
and they had for house mates two con
sins, children of Mrs. McElroy. the
presidents sister, then lady of tba
White House. Little Ruth Cleveland
was most popular White Ho,ise
child, a veritable queen. Esther. the
second daughter, was the only one o..
the five Cleveland children born at tha
executive mansion. Benjamin Har-
risop's grandchildren were very i'm
portant members of the presidentia.
family. The sturdy Roosevelt children
now reign where so many little ones
have come and gone.

Doctors Work in Shifts.

Physicians in Germany propose to
divide the day and night between
them. They object to being subject to
the call of their patients at any hour
of the twenty-four. The patient is
not to be left in the lurch, however.
His opportunity to spend his money
on medical attendance is not to be
curtailed. The German doctors pro-
pose, as matter of simple justice to
themselves, a day of twelve hours.
This means night and day shifts,
and as doctors need rest the same
as all other human beings, and can
do their Lest work only when they
have it, the change proposed seems to
be as clearly in the lay interest as in
that of the profession.
