When physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary 1T, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart. AS one woman expressed
1T, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
Is the only resource, but such cases are
nauch rarer than Is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham' e
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer Of ST
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said | could

Vegetable Compound had saved other women
from serious operations decided to try It,
and in less than four months L was entirely
cured; and words fail to express my thank
fulness."
Miss Margret Merkley, Of 275 I'd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing-down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that l had a serious
female trouble and liberation and advised an
operation ss my only hope. To this strongly
obiected-and I decided as a last resort to try
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To my surprise tho liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well: and | can
not express my thanks for what it has done

RIVER GIVES UP DEAD
Body Of Chester Palmer, tho Harlan
Lad Drowned at Harlan Last Week,
Recovered Saturday and Funeral
Held This Afternoon.

Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs. Sept. 24.-The body
Of Chester Palmer, the lad who was
drowned at Harlan last Wednesday,
was found by L. G. Burcham.
Mr. Burcham was walking along the
river bank and had reached a brush
heap about mile and half below
where the lad was drowned. He stood
watching the eddies in the water when
his attention was attracted to what
appeared to be the hand of human
being protruding above the water. He
approached the place closer and was
convinced that his eyes had not de-
ceived him. Calling others to his as
sistance, Mr.. Burcham managed to
reach the boys body and succeeded in
bringing it to land, after which the
remains were taken to the home of the
boys parents.
The bereavement is especially severe
upon the lads mother, who is confined
to her bed with baby two weeks old.
The funeral was held this afternoon.
