GLOOM IN LONDON.
Friends Across the Water Are In
tensely Interested.

LONDON. April le.-The CALAMITY
which has befallen the people of San
Francisco overshsdows in interest ali
other topics In the newspapers here
this morning. All the papers publish
long special dispatches describing the
terrible effects OF the earthouake to-
gether with descriptions of the city. it's
beauty, etc. and interviews with San
Franciscans resident in London-in fact
anything calculated to bring home to
the English reader n realization of the
stupenoous nature Of the disaster.
Scientists Puzzled.
Following so soon upon the eruption
Of Mt. Vesuyius and the earthouakc
shocks on the Island OF Formosa. the
question Is anxiously debated whether
there is any connection between these
events. Few scientists have as yet ex-
pressed an opinion on the subject.
Prof John Milne whose seismic
observatory at Shidc. or the Isle of
Wight, recorded a disturbance at 80
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, English
time. expresses the opinion that the
earthquake had no connection whatever
with the volcanic eruption
Traces Connection.
E, w. Maunder superintendent of the
Greenwich observatory, on the con-
trary considers that In all probability
1t was direct consequence OF the me-
ttyity Of Mount Vesuvius, whose erup-
ton doubtless started a severe wave
movement through the crust of the
earth. He considers, however that
there Is no SUFFICIENT reason connecting
these catastrophes with displays of
solar activity. and comments on the
comparative rarity OF earthquakes In
the United States.
DR.. Davidson OF Birmingham. an
other seismic expert. obtained valuable
records, but could suggest no connect
ton between the Nesuvius and San
Francisco disasters.

DID A WORLD OF GOOD
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cure Heart
Pains, Dizzy Spells and
weaknesa

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs. and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf-
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in DIR. Williams Pink Pills. III hun
dreds of instances these pills have sue
ceeded where other remedies failed.
my Indigestion" said Mr.. ] II. Mil
Ter, of Dayton, Na., "came i'll the first
place from the fact that n few years ago
l worked n great deal at night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day 1 found myself victim of terrible
dyspepsia. 1t kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
81 always had n great deal of distress
after eating, and when got up from my
sleep my stomach would be so weak that
it would hardly take any food. l had
very uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever ]
stopped over and then strnightened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.

argued that the medicine which waA
| SO good for their woman friends and
ncighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
| was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia L. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam.
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured. until to-
day Lydia Il. Pinlsham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia L. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-rcceived
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her

tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued IL, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
It up. With woman assistants, some as
,apable as herself, the present Mrs.
continues this great work and
from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad-

Treating Wrong Disease.

| Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion,
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and In this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over busy doctor, sep-
arate and distinct diseases, for which he
assuming them to be such, prescribcs his
pills md potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason OF the delay. wrong

Getting Away From Poverty.

The struggle to get away from pov-
erty has been n great man-developer,
writes Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. Had every human
being been horn with a silver spoon in
his mouth-had there been no neces-
sity put upon him to work-the race
would still be in its infancy. Had
everybody in this country been born
wealthy, ours would be one of the
dark ages. The vast resources Of our
land would still be undeveloped, the
gold would still be in the mines, and
our great cities would still be in the
forest and the quarry. Civilization
owes more to the perpetual struggle of
man to get away from poverty than to
anything else.
