WAS WEAK AND DIZZY
Or. Williams Pink Pills Sestored tho
Patient to Perfect Health
And Strength.

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. $40 South
Summer street. Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness. :"
was so weak at times" she SAYS, "that
could hardly stand, aud my head be-
came SO dizzy that it seemed as if the
floor was moving around.
:" My condition at last became so bad
that wns obliged to give up work i'll the
mill, and later still / became so feebly
that | could not even attend to me
household duties. After the slightest
exertion had to lie down aud rest until
regained strength.
"a friend who had used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. l bought a box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that | continued
to use tile pills until had taken alto
gether six boxes. BY that time I was
entirely cured, and for two Years have
had no return of my trouble. L am now
in the best of health and able to attend
to all my duties. am glad to acEnowl-
edge the benefit l received and | hope
that my statement may be the means of
inducing others who may suffer in this
way to try this wonderful medicine
The secret of the power of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills in cases of debility,
such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of new tide of

NO LONGER A CURIOSITY.
Lions by Captains of
Industry.

Exit the traditional scientific man
with the traditional Yankee of the
stage, Prof. Darlow. president of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. writes that sci
entifc leaders now sit with the cap
tains of industry not as lions to be
stared at but as representatives of sci
ence not only applied but pure. The
conception of scientific man as a
captain of industry means simply the
acknowledgement that science has a
practical relation with the world and
that fortunately the public has ad-
vanced far enough to see that pure
science sooner of later develops into
applied science.
The leaders of science are to be
placed in the class of organizers. man
ayers of a sort of scientific trust. This
is science to date. While science is
organization its basis is the power of
investigating. An organizer is of nc
use until there is something to or
ganize. And the materials on which
the organizer in science must work
are not made by machinery. but by the
brains of individual workers.

The wonderful power of Lydia r.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlsind is not be-
cause it is n stimulant. not because il
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs. positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where tits due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would aclSnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia L. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. G. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
s'It gives me great pleasure to say that 1
have found Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound very efficacious and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties

Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating Tor
fiatulency), weakness of organs, dis
placements, Inflammation or liberation,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia E. Pinlham's
Vegetable Compound. If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. PinlSham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousands to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice if she
wants to be strong and well.

CHINATOWN IN R UIks

wooden warrens where the slant-eyed
men OF the Orient dwelt in thousands

from whose depths come smoke
wreaths. All the wood has gone and
the winds are streaking the ashes.
Men, white men. never knew the
depth OF Chinatown underground,
says Mr.. Overton. They often talked
OF these subterranean runways, ana
many OF them had gone beneath The
level two or more stories. And now
that Chinatown has been unmasked,
for the destroyed buildings were only
a mask, men from the hillsides have
looked on where its inner secrets lay.
In places they can see passages 100
feet deep.
"The fire swept this Mongolian sec
tion clean, II left no shred OF the
painted wooden fabric. II ate down to
the bare ground, and this lies stark,
for the breezes have taken away the
light ashes. Joss houses and mission

dens, gambling hells and theaters-ali

like tissue paper lanterns used when
the guttering candles touched their
sides
From this place |, following the fire,
saw hundreds of fright-crazed yellow
men fee. In their arms they bore their
opium pipes. their money bags, their
silks and their children. Beside them
ran the bag-trousered women, and
some OF them with little feet hobbled
painfully.
But these were the men and women
of the surface. Far beneath the street
levels in those cellars and passageways
were other lives. Women who never
saw the day from their darllened pris-
ons, and blinking jailors we're caught
like rats in huge trap. Their very
bones were eaten by the flames.
