Mrs.JH.Farmer § JAirs. Ella Lee
An eminent physician says that
•'Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician." This statement
Should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on ?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corre
sponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can r nd do give every symptom,
so that si e really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than th physician who personally
question.-, them.
If you iuffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pi kham, Lynn, Mass., and she
will ad. se you free of charge.
The fust that this great boon, which
Is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol
lowing are constantly pouring in.
Mrs.Ella Lee, Frankford, Ind. .writes*
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
“ I want to thank you for what your medi
cine has done for me.
“ Thi-ee years ago I had inflammation of the
ovaries and uk-ers on my womb. I was under
the doctor’s care for about three months, and
the only time I was not in pain was when
under the influence of morphine. The doctor
finally said I never would be better, and
would be an invalid the rest of ray life. I had
given up in despair, but one evening I came
across one of your ad vertisements and decided
to write you for advice. I did so and com
menced to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. I began to improve at once,
and to-day I am a well woman, and I know
it is all due to your advice and medicine.
Mrs. J. H. Farmer of 2809 Elliott
Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I cannot thank you enough for what your
advice and medicines have done for me.
They have done me more good than all tbs
doctors I ever had.
“ For the last eight years I have suffered
with female troubles; was very weak; had
nervous prostration, and could not do my
work; but I am happy to say Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has made a
different woman of me. I am in perfect
health and have gained in weight from 98
pounds to 122 pounds.”
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record for actual cures of
female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health. Address,

By Direction of an Order from Bank
ruptcy Court All Her Property Ex
cept Wearing Apparel Will Be Sole
at Auction.
Cleveland, March 15.—Mrs. Chad
wick accompanied by two deputy Unit
ed States marshals left the county
jail today in a closed carriage and
was driven to her old home for a fare
well visit.
With the exception of $500 worth ol
jjersonal effects exempt from the-
claims of creditors, all the furnishings
and other personal property in the
house will be sold at public auction
next Fiiday by Trustee Loeser.
Mrs. Chadwick was granted per
mission by Judge Taylor, of the fed
eral court, to visit her home today to
decide upon what property she would
retain. It was evidently a trying or
deal for the convicted woman.
Immediately upon entering the sump
tuously furnished residence she broke
down and wept bitterly. It was her
first visit to the house since last No
vember, soon after which she left foi
New York, where, In the following
month, she was arrested.
Mrs. Chaxlwick had finally regained
her composure she began a tour ol
the house, selecting such articles as
she desired to keep. Shortly aftei
beginning this task she encountered
Dr. Chadwick. Husband and ■wife at
first merely smiled and nodded, and
then in a formal way shook hands
Only a few words were exchanged be
tween the couple. Dr. Chadwick hud
not previously seen his wife for about
two mouths, when he last visited her
a.t the jail.
Mrs. Chadwick selected between
$4,000 and $5,000 worth of persona!
property, which she claimed was ex
empt under the statute. Almost ali
of this was wearing apparel and Na
than Looser, trustee in bankruptcy
said that he would protest each and
every selection.
Mr. Loeser said:
“Mrs. Chadwick selected enough
clothing for 25 women, which, in view
of the way she squandered her credi
tors money, I consider very bad taste.’
Before leaving the house Mrs. Chad
wick again broke down and gave waj
to tears. She was allowed five -min
utes with her husband, who only for
a moment showed signs of affection oi
feeling for her. Replying to her
statement that she knew that she was
absolutely innocent of any charges
against him, Dr. Chadwick said:
“I hope you will be able to disprove
the charges against you.”
When the time came for her depart
ure Mrs. Chadwick was escorted to tbs
carriage and returned to the jail. A
small crow r d had collected at the drive
way to see her pass, but the curtains
to the carriage were drawn.

LOOKING FOR GUILTY PARTIES.
Detectives Will Seek to Find the Per
sons Who Killed Mrs. Stanford.
Honolulu, March 15.—It was learned
last night that some -action will proba
bly be taken at Sian Francisco, after
the arrival of the detectives detailed
there to investigate the recent death
of Mrs. Stanford in this 1 city. Captain
Calludan, when asked if this action
would be along criminal lines replied
that all the work of the detectives
was along criminal lines." Both the de
tectives here state that they have pos
itive instructions not -to talk about
the case. This precaution was prob
ably received from jSan jFrancisco.
Both refused to discuss Professor Jor
dan's opinion that Mrs. Stanford is
death was not due to strychnine. It
Is now believed that if the death had
been natural this conclusion would
have been announced In due course of
time by the detectives, and their re
plies and attitude to questions indi
cate strongly possibilities that a mur
der charge will be made against some
one. The detectives today cables
long messages to San Francisco.
FOUND DEAD WOMAN IN GAB.
Man Also Found in an Unconscious
Condition by Police.
New York, March 15.—The body of

hours and a man unconscious and ap

coholism and possibly from the effects
of a drug, may recover. Both he and
the driver of the cab have been de
tained by the police pending an Inves
tigation of the affair. Although the
condition of the man was so serious
that he could give tllfe police little
information which would aid them in
their investigation, he said that his
name was Thomas Deegan and that
he lived in Monroe street, one of the
better class residential sections of
Brooklyn. The dead woman, he said,
was Miss Mary Savage, 30 years old.
Both Deegan and Miss Savage were
well dressed.
