I tried everything I could bear of. and went to six doctors, two of them being intimate friends. They did every thing they possibly could and studied the thing up, but c: no use. The other doctors thought they could cure by a regular course of treatment I was willing to be experimented upon if any possible chance for relief.

BURNED ALIVE Shocking Practice of the Child Widows of India Has B?OKEN OUT AGAIN. They Hurl ^Themselves on the Burning Fsneral Pyres of Their Husband's in Spite of the Warnings of the English Government on the Subject / The British Government in India is mucb disturbed over the failure of all its efforts to stamp out the horrible Hintu practice of suttee?the burn ing alive of a widow on the funeral pyre of her husband. Such an example was n ade a year ago of seven of the principals convic ted of having aided in this barbarous religious rite, whenarioh widow went voluntarily to her fate, that the (?1 cials believed there would be no fur ther recurrance of the ancient but now forbidden custom. Yet, even while the guilty persons connected with that occasion were app-allng to the courts, pcomillng tc renouuce a religion wuica demanded such a sacrifice of life, auother widow aided by relatives and neighbors of her village, bas just now been sent by way of the flaming pyre to join her o us band in Paradist?as is the belief of orthedox Hindus. It is not exactly known when the practice of BUttte originated. It la mentioned by Dlodorus ? culus as be ing com nun when the Macedonians first entered India. To-day all the holy spots along the rontes of Hinou pilgrimage are dotted with little, white pillars, each commemorating a "Satl," as the "good 'woman" and faithful wife is called who throws her self into the flumes which consume che bcdy of her dead husband. Tue emperor Akbar is said to have prohibited sutte, but vainly. Not until the year 1820 did the English oare to interfere with tbe religious rite so deeplp rooted. Then Sir Wil liam Benik;c_ declared those who as -ls.en in the oeromony guilty of "cul pable homicide." He enforced the law so rigorously that only in isolated communities and in secret was tne practice continued. It is known that in the year 1817 in the Bengal presidency alone, 700 widows were thus burned alive. This religious custom does not force a wid ow to die in the flames of her hus band's funeral pyre. It never hah been necessary to use compulsion. The alternative?a miserable and de graded existence, in which she was ^'splsfd by all sent the widow wil lingly to the flames. besides, the Hinaus regard this act as that of a virtuos and faithful wife -Until English rule forbade it, it ?a; strongly recommended bypublio opin ion, among the Bajputs especially, as the only means of the widow's and her husbands happiness in the future state. The primitive view of the fu *ure life held by Hindus regarded tbe dead as having the same needs as the. u vlng. Tnis explains the difficulty the English government has in stamping out the practice of suttee. Until a year ago, when seven Hin dus were sentenced to terms in prison for complicity in the burning alive with her hu.band's body of the young widow of Ghaudrhi Missir, a rich mer chant; of R->mhav t^re had hren do j CORDIAL INVITATION i. _____ a addressed? working girls Miss Barrows Tells How Mrs. Pin-c ham's Advice Helps Working Girls. Girls who work are particularly susceptible to fe rn a 1 e disorders, especially those who are obliged to stand on their feet from morn ing until nig lit in stores or facto ries. Day in and day _ out the girl toils, and she is often the bread-winner of the family. Whether she is sick or well, whether it rains or shines, she must get to her place of employment, perform the duties exacted of her? smile and be agreeable. Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain iu the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach- In conseauence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become painful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All these symptoms point to a de rangement of the female organism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. .Miss Abby P. Barrows, Nelsonville. Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great medicine did for her. She writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham:? "I feol It my duty to tell you the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable (Compound and Blood Purifier have done forma Before I took them I was very nervous, had dull headaches, pains in back, and periods were irregular, i had been to several doctors, and thev did me no good "Your medicine has made me well and strong. I can do most any kind of work without complnint, and my periods are all tight 'lI am In better health than I ever was, and I know it is all due to your remedies, I recommend your advice and medicine to all who Buffer." It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink ham holds out a helping hand and ex tends a cordial invitation to correspond with her. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five : years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her long record of success in treating woman's ills makes her letters of advice of untold value to every ailing working girl. Address, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. known instances of this practice for several years, Suddenly, a little more than a week ago the Locknow t fa cials learned that the fox bidden prac tice for several yeare. Suddenly a little more than a week ago the Luck now cffioiais learned that the forbid den practice bad just claimed a wid ow, little more than a child at Cawn pore. An investigation proved that the report was only too well foundi d. The funeral pyre bad been tot up In a shallow chasm in an ill kept outlying street in whioh half-burnt sticks of wood lay. ' The officers were unable in this instance, to make any arrests for the reason that the namescf those guilty of complicity were carefully guarded by fanatio adberents to the old religion. But it was proved that on the same pyre whose flame* consumed the dead body of Cbunder Mookeijnar, a skill ed laborer of Cawnpore, his fifteen year old widow gave up her life. There were Hindu witnesses of the sot, who while they took no part, apparently, in the horrible rite, and who refused to name any persons who did take part, told the Eaglish officials the main details. Obunder Mookerjhar, when taken with his fatal Illness, had only recent ly married bis child wife. Both were of the old religion and were kncwn to be deeply attached to eaoh other. The wife personally attended her sick husband, refusing to take rest whih be still lived, Whan after a few day* he died, she seemed d>z d. She watch ed vacautly the preparati ns for ere mation. As far as the cmoere could learn no one urged her to immolate herself. In fact she did not accompany the oody to the pyre. It was only when the wood bad been lighted that her slight figure, all swathed in white suddenly rushed upon the scene. Those near her noticed that her gar ments were saturated with kerosene; also that she had tightly bound up her lower jaw, as though she were al ready a corpse. This was probably for the reason chat she feared that the agony of the flames might cmse her to cry out in spite of all her r? so lution. In her eyes, according to the testi mony, was the half-mad light cf her resolve to join her husband in the utuer world, where be would still be her lord, and thus to escape, the dis grace whioh widowhood on earth would bring to her among the Hindu fanatics. Without pausing for an instar, t the child widow of Obunder Mookeajoar threw herself besico her busdaudV corpse in the midst of the ftemos As her oil saturated garments blazed up she sprang to her feet fur an ltstant, raising her eyes heavenward, with arms upraised, and then Bank back stifled and unconscious, soon to be only a cinder. A; the very moment when this aw ful ceremony was In progress the ac nessorica to the Buttc o' Chaudbri Missir's widow a year before were ap pealing to the court for a mitigatlot of their prison sentence and promiH ing to frown upon th forbidded prac tice thenceforth, ?iey were Jogger nath Missir, a son, sentenced to fi v years of rigorous imprisonment; Balk lshun Missir, Dwarka Missir, Rim Ohrran Missir, Somar Cho.ikidar and Gunga and Dllohing Ohamars, nrar telatives, sentenced to terms rang ing from three years down to nine months. The testimony given in court, oov ering the most minute details, show ed this instance of suttee to have been performed with the most elabor ate ceremony. Obaudrbl Missir was a high caste Bral min, of lifluence, living in the village of Sanchari, near Eebar. He died and arrangements were made for the burning of his bod; on a hillside on the banks of a small river called "Devi Sthan." Under the direction of his eldest son, Juggernatb, some of his bumble retainers dug shallow trenches in tbe f jrmof a St. Andrew's Gross and over this piled tbe wood of tbe pyre. In the cutting of tbe wood?which is a part of the funeral ceremony?Jug gernath Missir, tha eldest son, assist red. Being a Brahmin gentleman he had no axe of bis own. Bam La) Barhi, a carpenter of tbe village lent him his. Many of the villagers assist ed, too, while others gathered about as spectators. ? When the villagers saw the widow of Ohaudrhi Missir bathing in the river the whisper ran from one t( another: "Suttee! Suttee! The widow cf Cbaudrhi Missir will be Sati !" The cremation of a dead Brahmir was an ordinary occurrence, bot San chari Village had known no Sutte?; if half a century. Soon, while Junger nath Ms-lr continued to cut woor and arrange it upon the pyre, hue irecls were joining the cr.iv/d on th hillside Volunteer musicians brougb their drums, cymbals and gongs. Ofch ers brought the sacred Sanies or shell upon which to blow solemn tones ar >he spirit of the widow jDinod that of her husband. At length the pyre was ready. Bear ers brought the body of Cnaudrhl Misiiir and laid it thereon, with bh feet toward the setting sun, for i' was afternoon. Ram Charan, Dwarka and Balklshun Missir, tbe younger suns, brought the helmet, the sword, spear arjd modern rille and the cloth l?g of Cbaudrhi MlhSirand laid then beside the corpse on the pyre. Tbe hillside was new ailve wit! thousands of vintagers and country men. Their bodies swayed to ard fro, and low moans ran from wonm to woman. The men with tbe drums the cymbal1, gongs and sacred Sankt sat in a row near tbe pyre. All wer waiting for tbe widow of Cbaudrhi Missir to appear. They had not long to wait.

They bowed their heads toward the widow -n.rmuring: 1 j "Sa*- i a good wife. Blessed Is Ctaudrbi MiFsir!" Juggernath Missir, as perfectly con pi Sf d as his mother, gave her bis band and helped her mount the pyre. There the stretched herself out be side her dead busband, bei head be neath b s sto aider, as became a hum* ble wife. All web now ready. The men with the sacted Sanks blew a long note. Tbe d'uwH, gongs and cymbals gave forth mi ffl 2d sounds. The* omen on the hillside waved their bodies, bow irg their heads low toward the pyre. Then tbe voice of the widow was heard softly calling to Juggernath Missir: "My rod, since you are here and fear not the law, do your duty as Be comes a faithful Hindu." Then Juggernath Mlssir lighted some wheat sf cks, and having walked three times around the pyre, accord teg to custom, applied the fire to tb( mcu h of the corpse. This failing to ignir? tbe pyre, Juggernath Mlssir call, d upon f< ur good Brahmins to as slst bim in performing the ''Humad." Tt;ose who responded were tbe fchrpe younger sons?Ram Obaran Mlssir, Balkl8bun Mlssir and Laohmac Tewnrl. First they burned incense all; b 'Ut the pyre. Then thev took chips of wood dipped in ghee, lighted tbem and placed them under the wood of the pyre. Flames leaped up ward, j >lning trie smoke of the incen se. Tne widow lay still beside the corpse of her husband. Now.the drums, goDgs and cymbals gave forth their full volume of sound. Notes from the S*uks responded through the grove. E;ery face upon tbe hillside was alight with religious ecstasy. As the flames reached the garments of tbe wld jw. she began to writhe in agony. Suddenly, wrapped in dame, sie stood up, lifted her arms and tax a ed her face toward tbe setting sun Above tbe din of the drums and cym bals tbe crowd could be heard shout lng from tbe Hinm ritual. "Sat Raml Sita Ram! Sati.Mai Kai Ja1!" The pyre was not a roaring furnace All at once, amid the beating of tbe drums and the clang of the cymbals, the body of tbe widow fell upon the corpse of tbe husband and the two seemed to dissolve t< gether. Soon they wer but ashes mingled with tbe ashes of the pyre. Now that this second instance of suttee has come to light, when tbe E igllsh (fficlals believed thai the widely report* d trial ar.d sentences of those implicated in the burning to death of Ohaudrbi Misslr would have the effect of wholly stamping out tbe oraciicft, 1' 1? not likely there will b any mlMua'ion of thise punishments.
