C. | something should be done to check | the rapid increase of divorce suits , in the United States. It very often Home of happens that one is as much to blame as the other and sometimes the plaint iff is engaged to another person while the case is before the courts, and if the divorce is granted they are mar ried in a very short time. This goes to prove that the plaintiff sued for di vorce not because of cruel treatment but because a new love had been formed for someone supposed to be n ore desirable. A law should be en- enacted to prevent a person from re marrying within at least two years from the time divorce was granted. This would teach many unprincipled couples to live nearer in accordance with their marriage vows and that if an unwise choice had been made they should make the oest of their bad bargain. People in general seem to attach very little importance to the vows made at the marriage altar, with the exception that it was the ordinary formula by which the twain became one. * • • A great writer once said that it w as an easy matter to w rite. But he said further that a person should first give a subject ten years’ study before he attempted to discuss it. Now, this writer can very truthfully say that he has given the subject of the fair sex J special study and attention the re- i qulred time to entitle him to an ex pression of his view’s. How’ever, we do not pretend to say that we have mastered the subject. There may be a man somew’here in this wide w’orld Japan, it w’as natural that great en thusiasm should follow. However, here j is something that might not be re garded as being so very natural, the time of the new’s, Miss Pratt, who we presume, is a missionary at Yoko- homan, hastened to tell the Bible wo men and she found that they had al ready heard. Most of them were in their rooms praying, with tears run ning down their cheeks, that God While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to ic .. be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua tion is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious de rangement of the whole female organ ism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham’s would comfort Russia and bless Ja pan. You see, they were praying for Vegetable Compound*overcome#*paTm ies. And then the wife of I . their enemies the great Russian, General Stoessel, is almost a perfect example of pa tience, sympathy and bravery com bined.

Davi- sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down E ains. I consulted two different physicians ut failed to get any relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.” Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— While women are known as the gentler sex they are also sometimes as bravo as the bravest. Mrs. John A. Logan is an example of this kind. It was her ambition that her hand some husband should become famous, and it w’as through her influence to a great extent that Gen. I»gan w’on dis tinction during the Civil war as a brave man. Not only in matters of war do wo men figure a useful part but in many respects the noble women are the mainstay of the nation. Many of the men of world-wide renown owe the greater part of their success to their good and wise companions in life. We once heard of a well known and prom inent writer who said that when, af ter reading an article, his wife wa« Vegetable Compound sooner: for I have tried so many remedies without help. “ I dreaded the approach of my menstrual period every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used the Compound two months I became regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain at my montnly periods. I am very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound has done for me.” Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with irreg ular, suppressed or painful menstrua tion, leucorrhoea, displacement or ul ceration of the womb, that bearing- down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatu lency), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Don’t hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with kindness and her advice is free. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. The State of South Carolina, County of Cherokee, Court of Common Pleas.

Instead of making the voyage of life pleasant and steering clear of reefs ! and rocks the ship is a sefene of con- happiness; another reason is that it was a part of his very nature and everything in noble Bill Arp’s nature was made known in his writings.
