V. FEMALE TROUBLES New York’s Most Successful Specialist in Woman’s Diseases Says: “Nearly Every Case of So-Called Female Weakness and Painful Periods Is Due to Kidney or Bladder Disease of Some Form.” Not exactly sick. .Tii<t dull, listless, without energy, hope or ambition.

WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [Address communications for this col umn to I*. O. Box 304.] The skirts of the street frock are unquestionably less voluminous than they threatened to be and in some in- -tances were. The circular cut put aside for a time has reassi rted itself and is gaining in popularity. The skirt of many gores is another model well liked, but one must not | make the mistake of shaping the gores so that the skirt clings tightly down to the knees and begins to Hare there. Such skirts were always ugly, though they wore worn to a considerable de gree some time ago. The new gored skirt is smooth over the hip line and quite full before it reaches the knees. The back, too, though it may close snugly and smoothly at the top, falls in fullness below the placket so that there is none of the ugly inward curve of the hack seam which was once an offense. For street wear the skirt clears; but although an effort has been made to shorten the skirts of dressy after noon street and visiting frocks to walking length, it has not fouqd gen eral acceptance and the long round ! skirt still holds sway. <r * * Mrs. A.

Goss, Hartwell, Ga., writes: ‘•Some five or six years ago I had a very severe spell of grip which left me with systemic catarrh. “A friend advised mo to try your Pe- runa, which I did, and was immediately benefited and cured. Tho third bottle completed the cure.”—H. J. Goss. Cured in a Few Weeks. Miss Jean Cowgill, Griswold Opera House, Troy, N. Y., is tho leading lady with the Aubrey Stock Go. She writes the following: “During the past winter of 1901, I suffered for several weeks from a severe attack of grip, which left a serious catarrhal condition of the throat and head. “Some one suggested Peruna. As a last resort, after wasting much time and money on physicians, 1 tried tho remedy faithfully, and in a few weeks was a.- well as o\ei.''—Jean (.owgili. Grip Resulted In Catarrh. Miss Alice Bielke, Treasurer Young Women’s Society of tho Lutheran Church, Menasha, Wis., writes: “I gratefully acknowledge the good that Peruna did me after I had been sick with la grippe which left me in a very weak and emaciated condition, with catarrhal trouble of the head and • ears. ^ “My mother suggested that I take it to build up my strength and rid myself of the troublesome catarrh, and it acted with wonderful speed. “I was able to resume my work in- sideof two months and i am in splendid health now.”—Alice Bielke. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results,—it cures. : LaGrippe Is Epidemic Catarrh. } ¥ T spares no class or nationality. The X cultured and the ignorant,the aristo crat and the pauper, the masses and tho classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are liable. Grip is well named. Tho original French term, la grippe, has been short ened by the busy American to read “grip.” Without intending to do so, a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men, women, children, whole towns and cities are caught in tho baneful grip of a terrible monster. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? if so, read the fol lowing letters. These testimonials speak for them selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in cases of la grippe or its after-effects; Saved by Pe-ru-na. Hon. James R. Guill is one of tho old est and most esteemed men of Omaha, Neb. He has done much to make ii what it is, serving on public hoards a number of times. He endorses Peruna in the following words: “I am 68 years old, am halo and hearty and Peruna has helped me attain it. Two years ago I had la grippe—my lif# was despaired of. Peruna saved me.”—i J. R. Guill. A Relative of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Silas S. Lincoln, who resides at 913 I street, N. W. t Washington, D. C., lias the honor of being third cousin to Abraham Lincoln. He writes: “I had la grippe five times before us ing your medicine. Four years ago I oegan the use of Peruna, since which time 1 have not boon troubled with that disease. “I can now do as much work at my desk as I ever could in my life. I hava gained more than ten pounds la weight.”—S. S. Lincoln. Pe-ru-na Not Only Cured La Grippe but Benefited the Whole System. Miss Alice M. Dressier, 1313 N. Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes; “Last spring I suffered from lagrippo and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through tho summer and somehow 1 did not 8*4 strong as I was before. “One of my college friends who WM visiting me asked me try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. “It not only cured me of tho catarrh but restored me to pci feet health, and built up the entire system.”—Alice M« Dressier.

NEW YORK FASHIONS. SEED Spring Outdoor Coverings—Tnn Jack ets, New Etons—Colors. Tho term rod in goto inrbidos all long out-door garmonfs oxcopt the loose-back, three-quarter coat, which has its own distinctive style. It ad mits of several rows of shirring, around tho hips, and in many cases almost covers the entire skirt. The waist is laid in folds or maybe in gathers, and tho front is either in surplice style, or has a rovers, the size an optional matter. Of course there is a belt, which fastens closely around tho waist. The Original Shape still retains favor among those who are able to stand its trying severity, and consequently the well-shaped wearer becomes somewhat conspicu ous. The loose coat with yoke shows no special change from those of last season, either in cut or material, light weight broadcloth or silk remaining IKipular for these convenient gar ments. The tan covert-cloth jacket comes again with spring exhibits and also of three-quarter length. To bring about novelty in the Eton and blouse is now the tailor’s or dress- maker’s task and has folds down the front edged by braid, very wide plain hands, falling a little below the edge of the Eton, and outlined by pipings or fancy braid, plaitings of chamel eon silk on sleeves, collar and waist edge, accomplish to a certain extent the desired result. Tight-Fitting draped and pointed bodices are quite prominent among handsome costumes, and the new linos in this season’s fashions make special demands upon the corset. The best dressmaker will fail to secure a good fit unless the corset is made and shaped In accord- anco with fashion’s latest Ideas. On the other hand the simplest costume takes on an air of style, if it follows the lines of a thoroughly up-to-date corset. At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, tho highest award given to any corset was taken by the "F. P. IMnchin Waist.” This can be obtained at so moderate a price that any woman willing to take the trouble to secure It. can ho sure that her figure has the new lines so necessary for a fashionable appear ance this season.
