REV J R WHEELER, a noted Methodist minister, of Reisterstown, Md., writes enthusiastically of RHEUM AC IDE, which cured him. He is 75 years old and has been in the ministry 50 years.

Poor South Carolina’tt Unenviable Notort- i ety--Prohibitionitits Kooletl. [From the Florence Advertiser.] The whiskey business would bavt ; been practically dead iu South Caro lina by this time had not the dispeu- . uary law been enacted. That was • perhaps the single expedient by which the life of the business could have been perpetuated in this State. | The history of neighboring Southern ; States for the last ten years proves ,it. , ] Texas and Mississippi are practi cally prohibition States. Only in a i few counties is the whiskey trade pt r- ooitttd. The same is true of Ten nessee. Fifty counties are “dry” in Alabama. Thirty of the forty coun ties in Florida prohibit the sale of in toxicants. Fifty Arkansas counties are “dry.” Of 137 counties in Geor- ' gia probably not more than ten or a | dozen have bar rooms. More than a hundred have absolute prohibition in North Carolina sixty of the ninety- seven counties have prohibition. In both North Carolina and Georgia some counties have local dispensaries similar to ours, except that each is an independent county concern and there are no State dispensaries. Ic ! these States the people vote as be tween dispensaries, bar rooms and ; prohibition The latter prevails in m •IT 1 *-?. A’ mm si mm m m km ■ ■ g^J mi m •mi; ; v ■m - '/ j V> w.

In other words, it is the simple fact that within the last ten or fifteen years almost the whole South has voted itself “dry.” In the larger owus amt citi<-t*, like Augusta, At. laiita, Birmingham, Savannah, and Jacksonville, the bar rooms are re ;ained, hot whiskey has been driver | almost entirely from the rural die tricts.

Beauty and strenertli in women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound helps women preserve rotindness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It earries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman’s health. The trufli about this great medicine is told in the letters from women published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, III., says: — “Deal Mns. Pinkham: — I have suffered ever , since I was thirteen years of age with my menses.; ^ They were irregular and very painful. I doctored a great deal but received no benefit. “A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did,and after taking a few bottles of it, 1 found great relief. “ Menstruation is now regular and without pain. I am enjoying better health than I have for sometime.” i How is it possible for us to make it plainer that Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Com- -y pound will positively help all sick women ? All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, high and low’, — all suffer from the same organic troubles. Surely, no one can wish to remain weak and sickly, discouraged with life and without hope for the future, when proof is so unmistakable that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will cure monthly suffering — all womb and ovarian troubles, and all the ills peculiar to women.
