Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Rests Upon the Fact that 1t Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri- can women have been restored to health by Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegeta- bIe Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be fact and not a mere boast.
 Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it. all other medicines and treat nent for women are experiments.
 Why has Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vege- table Compound accomplished such widespread results for good?
 Why has i+ lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century?
 Simply and surely because of its ster- linz worth. The reason no other med icine has even approached it's success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for wOmen's ills.
 The wonderful power of Lydia l.. Pinlxham' Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not be- cause it is a astimulant-not because 1t IS a palliative. but simply because It Is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the female system, positively CURING disease and displacements and restoring health and Yigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the coantry by women wlio have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue Tn Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia F.. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it will effect cure. Women who are troubled with pain ful or irregular periods, backache' bloatinp Cor flatulence), weakness, dis placements, inflammation, ulceratlon l that .' bearing-down feeling, dlzzl ness. faintness. indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take | immediate action to ward of the serl- ous consequences, and be restored tc l health and strength by taking Lydla E l Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Any way write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn 1 Mass, for advice. It's free and always helpful,

painfully over the paVements with the little they could get together. Every available wagon was taken by the mill itary to carry powder.
 General Funston is cooperating with Mayor Schmitz, whose orders to all of the citizens are to kill without warning any malefactOrs. When men have been needed to carry out the plans of rescue they have been pressed into service. Tn only a few instances was it necessary to resort to the cock ed revolver and drawn sword, after which there was no hesitancy.
 PITlFUL PICKNICKERS.
 The Presidio reservation, the vasr Richmond district of thousands of acres, Golden Gate park, and the sur rounding hills resemble one vast pie nic ground. Tents and improviseG coverings have been erected every wnere, fire places built in the tents, and beds and mattresses thrown down all over the section. The people thus situated are philosophical,
 There is only one danger, and tha: is that the food supply will run short. Every grocery store in San Francisco mas been taken bv the officers, and each family is being sold only one ar ticla at d time. In many places tn" police and military prohibit over charging. General Funston announc- ed this morning that rations would soon reach the city. and then the pea pie would be supplied from the Pr-- sidio.
 Bakeries nave already been built within the reservation, and the bread supply, therefore. has not failed com pletely. The government also has begun to aid in the progress of the people out of the city to Oakland. Berkeley, and Alameda. Tug boats and steamers are being pressed int. service for this purpose. and there i,. a vast army on the way to the fer ries.
 VIEW FROM THE WATER FRONT.
 From the water front the burned city can be seen today in all it's smoky nakedness. From the Pacific Mail dock to Vallejo street on the west side. a distance of two miles. wreckagc and ruin is the rule. Although the fire did not jump to East street. the dam age has been enormous. The filled in land facing the ferry building IS q succession of valleys. some four. oth- CTS six feet deep. The ferry tower it. self is out of plumb and the big build is badly twisted by the earthquake R Looking up Market street the city s a smOuldering mass of ruins Great lercantile manufactures. mercantile houses. banks, and railroad office buildings are nowhere to be seen and only in spots is there so much as the tower. the monument Of burned structures
 Today is bright and warm. The sun is beating down upon the tired work CTS and rescuers. There is scarcely any water to relieve the thirst of the suffering. The heat is a threatening danger. for the dead in many instances are lying in the streets and ruins. The authorities are doing all in their DOW CT to remove the bodies in order that a pestilence may be prevented. It has been necessary repeatedly to move toe injured from places where they had sought refuge, for the fire kept in creasing with alarming Tapidity-
 Water is the incessant cry of the firemen, and the people; one wants i to fight fire, the others to drink, bu there is only a scant drinking supply

charred and smoking, all that remain ed of a prosperous city. The metropo- lis of the western slope was in ashes.
 This has been another day of an un- even struggle of man against the un- conquerable elements of nature. Acre after acre has been ground into dust and ashes despite the heroic persever- ence of the firemen to limit the confla- grafton Tonight there is a hope that the worst has been nearly reached, and that when tomorrow dawns the end will come, but the hope is faint indeed. If the flames can be barred in their devastation of the western addi- ton, then "finis'' will be written to the great devastator. But San Francisco is not discouraged. Its best and high est class has already begun to plan for restoration and to care for the stricken ones and the relief will be immediate.
 LOCAL RELIEF.
 Total subscriptions of S1SO.OOO were announced today. Arrangements were made for the immediate relief of the needy Major McKeeVer was appoint ed commander of the camps of the homeless. It was announced that to- morrow there would begin a daily de- livery into the city of 1O.OOO.OO0 gal Ions of water.
 Tonight direct communication was begun with the outside telegraph. By overcoming great obstacles. the Postal telegraph managed to regain one of its shattered lines. The Postal office tonight is located in a little wooden structure erected on piles at the water front shore. Tonight three distinct fires were burning. One was on that portion that extends from Mob hill down easterly toward the water front II was travelling slowly toward the Telegraph hill section, and may die out from lack of material. or may again sweep toward the extreme wa ter front. The center fire was in the Mission.
 The fire had reached Eighteenth street, but was making little head way to the hillside. where thousands of people were camped. The third and most dangerous fire is that threatening the western section. This is really a continuation of the Not hill fire. It is wedge-shaped, with the apex pushing forward. This is tho point against which the firemen are bending their greates, efforts. Dyna- mite was used for backfiring purposes with only fair success. Tonight many blocks may be blown up.
 Chief of Police Dinan said h' thought 250 would fully cover thu number of deaths He found it impos sibIe to obtain details There Wal much shooting of Ioosers today, bu the offenders were fortunate enougl to escape with wounds.
