DR.. Ephraim Mcdowell.

With the danger of charge of muir
der being registered against him if he
failed of success, DIR Ephraim Mellow
ell 100 years ago Thursday, December
y, 1909, performed the first successful
operation for ovariotomy in modest
two-story frame house on Second street
IN Danville, XIV. The patient was
Mrs. Crawford, and she died at the age
OF 70 years, thirty-two years after the
operation was performed.
The old building used as an office and
residence by DR.. Mcdowell still stands
and bears evidence of the ravages of
time. 1t is now used as a tenement
house, and, according to history, is l25
years old.
The Mcdowell Medical Society, :"
OF Cincinnati, has had several repre-
sentatives in Danville recently gather
ing information for the celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
operation by the physicians who are
members of the Ohio organization,
which was formed in memory of the
great surgeon Local tradition has il
that an angry NIB awaited outside DR..
McDowel's doot. enraged over his un-
dertaking and fully believed that it
would mean &c. tain death to his
patient. Tie oreration was performed
third of generation before anes-
thetics were Known to the medical pro-
fesslon and the bravery OF the noble
woman who endured the pain has been
as much eulC lied as DIR. Mcdowell
himself.

Laxative for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc..
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
ful for the average person
A woman at all times needs only
mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
they may be, for the object is simply to
move the bowels, and if a gentle laxative
will do it, what is the use of a violent
one?
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has earned
a well-deserved vogue among women and
children and old folks-people who must
necessarily be careful of what they take.
1t is a liquid laxative tonic and adj
mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and
bowel remedy before the American people.
The price is only SO cents or ST a bottle
as 1t comes in both sizes. and all drug
gists sell it, Its pleasant taste and gentle
action make it an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver5 sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. Its use for a
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication will be
unnecessary. It's tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this
Is so is the experience of many heads of
families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado,
Va, Mrs. K. l.. Stout, of Louisville, KY,
and numerous others; in fact, way out in
Williams, Cal, as Mrs. j. E. Blackmore,
of that place, writes, the whole town
seems to be using it.
If the remedy is new to you and you
want to make a trial Of 1t before buying,
send your name to the Doctors address
as below and free test bottle will be sent
you. Then, if results are satisfactory
you can buy 1t OF your druggist.

It is an admitted fact that the Great

Another great peril to Lake shipping
IS that OF collision and condltin.s in t..is

on the eve Of working q complete revolu

Already, at scores OF points along the

Storms Do Terrific Damage.

Tho Great Lakes are known as the

the total loss OF more than 1000 ships.
During tho last thirty years, in which
time the records have been practically
