The Countess of Dudley organized this
work in 1903, beginning with two nurses
in Geesala and Bealadangan, County
Galway. They did so much good that
the, number has now been increased to
fifteen. They are located at places in
the poorest districts Of Ireland, where
there are no physicians and where the
people are too poor and the popula ton
too scattered to support doctor If one
could be induced to go there. We have
no corresponding conditions in the Unit
ed States. We have no such class as
occupy the miserable huts of stone on
the bleak rocks Of the west of ireland
living upon few fish. few Chickens
and few goats.
The most distressing cases are those
of confinement In cabins OF only one
room. into which sometimes six eight
and ten men, women and children are
crowded, sleeping upon the floor. We
went into hut Of only one room. not
more than twelve by fourteen feet in
size. which is occupied at night nv nine
mother and six children. the Oldest he
ing eighteen years Of age. We visited
another hut where there were eight
children living. and were told OF one
| of most Of them not more than a year
apart. To relieve conditions that NAV
| be easily imagined, Lady Dudleys So
ciety with the long name was formed
| and is now doing an immense amount of
good. Fifteen courageous and conscien-
tious women are comfortably placed in
localities where their services are most
| needed. at a cost Of not more than a
| thousand dollars per year each, which
! includes a bicycle. the most convenient
means Of locomotion they can find. and
an allowance for the hire Of horses and
jaunting cars when they can be obtained.
Because it is impossible to find lodgings
and boarding places, 1t has been neces-
sary to 'build cottages for the nurses,
and in some cases the demands upon
them are 50 great that they are allowed
| to employ assistance. They are eo,,in-
ped with surgical implements and medi-
cal setpres.s Each one Of the nurses has
taken q course in surgery for emergency
EcAses. for they are frequently called
upon to set bones and dress wounds and
teven to perform operations.
I They are also furnished with bahv
clothes. old linen. warm garments, stores
Of condensed milk. beef extract and other
delicacies. Although Florence Nightin-
gale relieved thousands, her work did
not compare in peril. privation or Ia
tigue with the almost daily experience
Aof some Of these noble women.

Chastity and Education.
BY WILLIAM r. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.

Although 1t costs as much to get mar
ried as 1t does to buy a ticket to Amer
lea, for the priests charge high fees,
there are no unmarried people living to-
gether here; iliegitimate births are ex-
tremely rare and chastity Is the common.
est Of virtues
There Is no compulsory education law.
but the priests force the children to
school until they are fourteen and win
not confirm them until they have passeti
certain grade. A gentle. soft-voiced
woman In a rude cabin In the mountain
side. told us the other day that her great
est trouble was that her daughter had
been kept from. school by sickness and
she was AFRAID the priest would not con-
firm her because she was SO far behind
the other girls In her lessons.

an unknown quality, we were very

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF

Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean 1?
It means that public inspection OF
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
It means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondence
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army Of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshe also
might just as we'll regain her health.
