Dear Aunt Madge.

It does seem too bad that you were left so
nearly alone last week. Now am expecting

whose business is in San Francisco but as his
home is in Alameda, am hoping he and his
family and other dear friends there may be

ing IT may be to many of you, but before this
is in print no doubt we shall know the worst,
or, let us hope, the best for US all.

THREE FACTS

For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as baekache, 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.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years Ii has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. inham-
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.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time TO
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Womeu.--W omen suffering from any
form Of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given.
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law OF Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-ti Ave years under her direction
and since her decssse she has been ad-
vising sick wome n free of charge. Out of
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 II she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

ENTHUSIASM ON THE IRENE.
It was on board the Irene that the most enthu-
siasm was displayed There was so much of IL
that Mr. Bryan, despite his uncommunicative
mood. was moved to speech. When he was max
ing his way over the tugs to the Illini the crowd
halted him on the rail of one of the boats and
held him there until he made short speech. He
told briefly of how glad he was 10 see the peo-
