IN_HOSPITAL No Relief-Mrs. Brown Fin ally Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Cleveland, Ohio.-" For years I sf. fered so sometimes it seemed as though I could not stand it any longer. - It was all in my lower organs. At times I could hardly walk, for if I stepped on a little stone I would almost faint. One day I did faint and in y husband w a s sent for and the doc. tor came. I was ta ken to the hospital and stayed four weeks but when I came home I would faint just the same and had the same pains. A friend who is a nurse asked rne to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. I began taking it that very day for I' was suffering a great deal. It has already done me more good than the hospital. . To anyone who is suffering as I was my advice is to stop in the first drug-store and get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before you go home."-Mrs. W. C.

While ' the' principal. force of the storm struck Mattoon, other sections of Illinois were visited by vagrant tornadoes which left death and de struction as they twisted through a rich farming territory. Casualties were reported as follows: Wester velt, five dead, twenty-one injured, three of whom will die; Manhattan, one dead, six injured; Joliet, two in jured; Elwood, four injured; Modesto, one dead, nine fatally hurt; Pearl, one fatally injured, four hurt; Char leston, many reported injured, but definite information lacking until wire communicatiod is restored. Early reports of property losses in dicated that serious damage has been done to many towns. Substantial fac tories were blown to splinters in Mat toon.. Joliet estimated a half million dollars' damage in Will County alone. Hail followed the wind in many places, bediing the crops to the ground. Many curious incidents of the storm's progress were described by survivors. Six cars of a moving freight train were picked up by the wind near Monroe, south of Chicago, and carried for a quarter of a mile, then dashed to splinters against the ground. The remainder of the train escaped damage. Modesta will need a clean-up week to get rid of one of the unusual fea tures of the tsorm there. Mud picked up by the wind in fields south of the town was plastered liberally over many buildings. - F. W. Mielke, a railroad fireman, stepped from his engine at Westervelt just as the storm broke over the city. A piece of flying timber struck Meilke in the back, inflicting fatal injuries.

Few reports from the surrounding farm country were available, but it was not believed that the damage anywhere in this vicinity was as gheat as in Mattoon. The wind played the usual number of freakish tricks. A scantling from the lumber yard passed entirely through a hone in which the family was dining, hurtling through the air over their heads and out through a window without injuring any of the diners. Wire and rail traffic was practi cally at a standstill for hours after the disaster, miles of telegraph poles in each direction from Mattoon being levelled. Rails and ties were torn from their fastenings for yards at a time. Many Reported Killed.
