SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
SecOnd.-Themedicine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
nam Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
Of which are from time TO time published
by permission, are proof of the value of
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
FOurth.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is cordially invited TO
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Co. (confdentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. Itis free, will bring you
health and may save your life.

3 COMPANIES FIGHT
FOR RIVER BUSINESS
Carrying of Carney's Point
Workers Is the Bone
of Contention
NEW STEAMER ON
LINE NEXT WEEK

The steamboat controversy on the
Christiana river over who shall
carry the powder makers to Carney's
Point" is gaining interest. There is
something new in the scrap with the
dawn of every day, and by next week
the climax of the trouble will have
been reached
There are at present two Carneys
Point lines running from near Mar
ket street bridge For some months
the "Endeavor" has been landing at
Shipley street wharf. and with the
incorporation of the operators of this
boat under the name Of the Dime
Line Steamboat Company, it has
added the sylvan Dell" to its line,
with anticipation of securing other
boats to operate between this city,
PennsgrOve, Pennsville and Fenton' S
Beach.
Recently the Wilmington Steamboat
Company inaugurated line to Penns-
grove from the foot of Orange street
not many feet from the wharf of the
Dime Line Company. The Wilmington
Steamboat Company is operating the
"Brandywine," on the same route.
Eie Geisha, with Captain Graham %
command. was running between here an'
Fenton Beach, but with the coming 81
the Endeavor had to relinquish its hol'
on tne trade because of the handicap %
the much larger boat of the Dime Lin'
Company. For some time the Geisho ha
been idle at the south side OF Shplel
street wharf. This was. in fact, th
very beginning Of the controversy tina
isnow waging and Captain Graham ha
expressed his intention of sailing witt
the Geisha TO operate in Florida water
this summer.
The tight is expected to come to q
head next week. when the Peoples
Steamboat Company opens its line
between here and PennsgrOve. The
site OF the company's wharf is at the
southern side Of the Christiana river
directly opposite the wharves Of The
