Woman’s Kidney Troubles Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is Espe cially Successful in Curing This Fatal Disease. TWENTY-TWO LIVES LOST. /firs. J.IA/. Lang and /Kir'S. S.Frake Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney dis ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Ilelnp fully aware of this, Mrs. I’ink- ham early in her career, gave exhaust ive study to the subject, and in pro ducing her great remedy for woman's i ills—Lydia E. i'inkham's Vegetable j Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles. Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vege table Compound is the only one espe cially prepared for women, ami thou sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick, dust in it; un usual thirst, swellingof hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, the woman's remedy for wo man's ills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Ivdla E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect Plains, N. J., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. When I first wrote to you I had suf fered for years with what the doctor called kidney trouble and congestion of the womb. My back ached dreadfully all the time, and I suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I could hardly walk across the room. I did not g< t any better, so decided to stop doctoring w ith rnv physician and take Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound and I am thank- fid to say it has entirely cured me. 1 do all my own,work, have no more backache and all the bad symptoms have disappeared. I cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all women suffering withliidney trouble to try it Mrs. J. W. Lang, of fi2ti Third Ave nue, New York, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— 1 have been a great sufferer with Jtidney trouble. My back ached all the time and I was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound would enre kidney disease, and I liegan to take it; and it has cured me when everything else had failed. 1 have recommended it* to lots of people and they all praise it very highly.

You may think you? newspapers in you no good. It Is a wrong Idea. wo d or line in your newspaper is . n. ficial to you. Everybody who can reads the town news in the paper; not only that, but they read all the locals ami all the ads. Should you .lace an ad in your town paper.do not How yourself to think that you have one your duty as advertiser for the hole season to come. Do not allow y. n- ad ti remain without a changd. Keep it in the paper and let each is 1 • b a new ad. If you publish th* 1 ime ad it will become stale reading and instead of doing you a good turn :l will do your business a positive in jury. If you have not tried this method of advertising give it a trial; at once. You will find it greatly to ! your benefit. Get into the newspapers all the time. Take a small space if you cannot afford a large one—or bet ter still go in liberally every week. Advertising will bring trade, but only square, honest dealing will hold it. 1, is almost as hard to sell goods with out advertising as it is to catch fish without bait. Truthful advertising linked with genuine bargains is the most perfect custom producer. Every .-datement made in your ads should be carefully weighed before publishing. If you put a sign over your door, you are an advertiser. The sign is intend ed to advertise your business to the passer-by. An ad in a reliable pa pe ls many thousand signs spread over many miles. You can’t carry every body to your signs, but the newspaper can carry your sign to everybody. Contract for space to be used during the -year and use large ads when bus iness needs publicity, and smaller enes when you have ail the trade you can handle. A campaign on such lines will build up a growing business provided the store does its share. If you expect to make a business of bus iness see that your advertising does you lasting good. Keep faith with the people. If you advertise a dollar shirt for 00c be sure that the shir’ you offer is actually of usual dollar quality. THE KING OF^ BLOOD PURIFIERS Diplomacy. “I apa,” the beautiful girl said, brushing the thin locks back from his temples, “I hope you’ll never ask me to marry that stupid young Mr. Gimpswick that comes here occasion ally.” “Why, bless my soul, Edith!” he exclaimed. I’ve never thought of such a thing. But now that you have men tioned him, I’d like to know what’s the matter with young Gimpswick. What is your objection to him?” “O. nothing in particular. I just thought—” “Look here, sis. You’ll want to marry some day, and when you do, 1 don’t know any young fellow I’d rather have for a son-in-law\ He’s in excellent circumstances, conies of a good family, is perfectly steady, well educated, no bad habits, fine looking chap—just the sort, I should think, that, a girl would naturally take a fancy to, and you might con sider yourself lucky if you got him. What’s the reason you can’t endure the idea of marrying him?” “Well, because I can’t—not before next June, anyway.” Skipping away from him. she opened the door and whispered to a young man in the hallway: “Come in Alfred! It’s all right!” Detective After Assailant.

The detective will endeav or to run to tarth the guilty party. The police do not believe that Stew art Johnson, the negro now held for I the crime, is the guilty one. A Dog’s Devotion. (London Globe.) How apt is the description of the dog as the friend of man is shown by the following story. Four young men from Senones, in the Vosges, were re turning at night from the frontier, and walking in Indian file, when one of them named Champy, blinded by a snowstorm, fell into a ditch by the wayside, and his comrades, not ob serving the accident, went on without him. Happily for Champy, a dog that was witn them stayed behind and kept him company; and wljen his comrades missed him, they found the faithful animal stretched out on top of him, doing its best to keep him warm. The young man was convey ed to a neighboring farm, and gradu ally restored to consciousness. His hands are badly frost bitten, and it will be quite a month before his is able to get out and about again; but if it had not been for the protection against the extreme cold afforded him by the dog’s body he would not have lived through the night.

No remedy ever yet discovered has met with such popular favor as S. S. S. The people everywhere indorse it, and there are few homes where S. S. S. for the blood is not known and used. It is superior in many ways to the ordi nary blood medicines. In the first place S. S.

At the same time, under its tonic effects the gen eral system improves, the sluggish organs are toned up, and renewed strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effect* follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicinea containing strong minerals, which derange the stomach and digestion and in other ways damage the system.
