Four Transports for Troops.

The War Depar, ment has practically de-
cided to use only the four army trans
ports Meade. Sumner, Mcclellan and Kill
patrick in bringing home the 5000 United
States troops in Cuba, after the re-estab-
lishment of the Cuban republic in Jan
uary next. These are the only transports
on the Atlantic coast available for the
service. The only other transport, the
ingalls,, is too small to be of any value
in this service. 1t is considered that the
expense of chartering addi, ional steamers
for the transportation from Cuba Is not
jus.ifie under the circumstances, and
that it will be entirely in the interests OF
the government to conilne the transfer
of troops and military material to the
regular transports, each of which will
have to make two trips.

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia 4. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such q
record of success for woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia 4. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
1t has relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development. ......
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness Of the Stomach, lndiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to It; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system. .. ..I 10,
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "dont care "and
1want to be left alone" feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
flatulency, melancholy orthe"b blues"
These are indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia L. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound.
