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.
Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing In
vitation.
Women suffering from kidney
trouble, or any form of female weak
ness are invited to promptly communi
cate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. Out of the great volume of ex
perience which she has to draw from,
it is more than likely she has the very
knowledge that will help your case.
Her advice is free and always help

Steam Dredge Sinks and Balance M
Crew ave Awful Experience.
Now York, March 1.—Captain J. A
Minot, of the steam dredge Texas,
' which foundered at sea with a loss ot
: 22 lives, was brought Iutv today on
' the steam Rotterdam from Rotter
•dam. The others of the crew of the
Texa wen landed at Waterford a few
! d: ago, having been rescued by the j
- hi g inline Mercedes after a terrible
| experience with hunger, thirst and
| cold in an open boat.
The Texas, which was bound from
■ Dantzlc to Galveston, foundered at
, midnight on Christmas Eve. Two
*
of her boats were launched but one of
| them was swamped. This boat con-i
tainlng the chief officer and 21 men.
sank immediately and all its occupants
were drowned.
.In the second boat the survivors 1
driftqd 14 days, the last six of which!
they were absolutely without food or
water. One of the men died from ex-
• posure, another became insane and the
remaining 12 were on the verge of
hysteria when help came to them.
They had drank sea water and their
bodies were covered with boils.
When taken on board the Merce
des, one of the survivors said that the
had just drawn lots to decide which
one should bo killed to furnish food
for his fellows. A little later they
were transferred to the steamship Zeno
and landed at Waterford, Ireland.

POLAND UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Trainmen Who Struck Granted Their
Demands and Go To Work.
Waraw, March 1—2:50 p. in.—The
governor-general of Poland today pro
claimed a partial state of siege of gov-
ments of Kaliez, Lublin, Kielce and
Lomza. As a similar condition pre
vails in the remaining six provincial
governments all Poland is now gov
erned under a modified form of mar
tial law. The proclamation does not
give specific reasons for the action
taken, but it is due to the general un
satisfactory condition of the country.
The strike on the Vistula railroad Is
ended.
Train service, both north and south
of Warsaw, has been resumed. The
strikers obtained higher wages and
other concessions.
The strikes on suburban railroads
strikes on the surburban railroads
have also ended and all Warsaw’s rail
road comunications are now restored.
DIAMONDS FOUND ON HIM.
Man Arrested at Gainesville Carried
Many Valuable Gems.
Gainesville, Fla., Marth 1.—A man
giving the name of S. Stephens, and
supposed to be a slick swindler, was
arrested here pust as he was leaving
town.
The conductor of an Atlantic Coast
Line train had been notified and giv
en a description and founu him in the
private compartment of a car. He
pulled a pistol and ordered him to
surrender and turned him over to of
ficers. When searched he had in the
leg of his drawers a brooch contain
ing thirteen diamonds, three diamond
rings aggregating, $1)50, and $190, $110
of which was secured fraudulently
from a man at Waldo, who hunted the
Che man down and caused his arrest.

ment agent for help for St. Augustine
hotels. Upon trial in the mayor's
court he was held in $500 ball.
Advertise in Newspaper*.
You may think you? newspapers

wo d or line in your newspaper is

not only that, but they read all the

y. n- ad ti remain without a changd.
Keep it in the paper and let each is

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.
Jackson, Miss., March 1.—The de
tective employed by Governor Varda-
mfln to inquire into the assault made
i on Miss March in this city last Thurs
day n!ght, arrived in the city this af
ternoon and had a conference with
the governor. Later he visited the i
young lady and heard her story and j
also visited the house w here Stewart
Johnson, charged with the crime, was
arrested. 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.
Chicago Man Shoots Robber.
Chicago, March 1.—Firing through

sistant County Attorney Louis B.
Anderson s;hot and fatally wounded

H. Siam and. a negro, entered a drug
store and asked to be given treat-
nit nit for a w ound in his breast. Ho
was taken to a hospital, where An-
rson lab r identified him as one of
his assailants. The other escaped.
No Tickets So’d to Negroes.
Washington, March 1.—Fears of
southern people that negroes will be
largely in evidence at the inaugural
ball are said at the headquarters of
the ball committee to be without foun
dation. Not one ticket bias been sold
there to a negro, and no sales to ne
groes have been reported at any of the
branch offices. Of the 3,tX)0 seats tnat
have been sold in the mammoth stand
facing the president’s stand only three
went to negroes. t
What Becomes of a Bushel of Corn.

C'ini, makes four gallons of whiskey

lucts and adulterations). These four
Tallons of whiskey retail for $16.40.

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. S. is a guaranteed
purely vegetable compound, made exclusively of medicinal roots
selected for their wonderful purifying and tonic properties that act
upon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy,
natural condition. 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. For diseases of the blood,
such as Chronic Sores, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Boils and Pirn-
