I A TRAINED NURSE Alter Years of Experrence, Advises Women in Regard to Their Health. TOGO TOOTING FOG RKSIAN S3ilAUR0;i It Is Believed He Will Attack Tbeir Rear Guard. Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark,, N. J., wlio is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse atthe Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantageof personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may he absolutely relied upon. idany other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs, Pohlman writes: “ I am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lvdia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound, that it Is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to FOLLOWING IN WAKE OF FLEET safe i-ssh iiiglSP /// ir»s [AVartba IpoM man “Immediately after my marriage I found that my health liegan to fail me. I be came weak and pale, with se vere bearing-down pains, fear ful backaches and frequent dizzy 8[>ells. The doctors pre scribed for me, yet I did not improve. I would bloat after eating and frequently become nauseated. I nad an acrid discharge and pains down through my limbs so 1 could hardly walk. It was as had a case of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable- Conij)ound, however, cured me within four months. Since that time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to rec ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly recommend Lydia E. Finkham’s Vegetable Compound, for I have found that it cures female ills, where all other medicine fails. It Is a grand medicine for sick women.” Money cannot buy such testimony as this —merit alone can produce such re sults, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Finkham's Vege table Compound is the most univer sally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with ir regular, suppressed or painful men struation, weakness, leucorrhoea, dis- plaoement or ulceration of the womb, that hearing-down feeling, infiamma- tion of the ovaries, backache, bloat ing (or flatulence), general debility, in digestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizzi- life SISSs;: ness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleepless ness, melascholy, “all-gone” and ‘‘want-to-be-left-alone’’ feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remem ber there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Com pound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received s\ich widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste. The pain is cured and the money is saved by Lydia E. Finkham’s Vegetable Compound. Ex perience has proved this. It is well for women who are ill to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. In her great experience, which covers many years, she has probably had to deal with dozens of cases just like yours. Her advice is free and confi dential. U«ia E.

Two ships loaded with rice for Sai gon and bound for Japan have b< e:i captured by ships belonging to the Rus sian squadron. Russian officers are reported to have declared that Admiral Rojestvensky is determined to light Admiral Togo and will endeavor to vanquish the Jap anese squadron or sink with it. Ad miral Rojestvensky has given every detail of the coming conflict his par ticular attention. Togo’s liagship will be his objective, according to a special plan. More firing at sea was heard at Kam ranh bay Sunday morning. The re ports were exceedingly faint. It is reported that four Russian cruisers are lying off the coast. The statements that the crew of the Russian protected cruiser Diana joined Admiral Rojestvensky’s squadron aiv again pronounced absolutely unfound ed. On the contrary, since the Diana has been interned the most minute precautions have been taken to pre- vi nt the slightest breach of neutrality. The commander of the Diana has given his parole and reports daily to the French commandant. All the es sential parts of the Diana’s machin ery are.on board the French battleship Redoubtable.

Every season lias its own diseases, but Rheuma tism belongs to all, for when it gets well intrenched in the system, and joints and muscles are saturated with the poison, the aches and pains are coming and going all the time, and it becomes an all-tbe-year- round disease; an attack coming as quickly from sud den chilling of the body when overheated, a fit of in digestion or exposure to the damp, Easterly winds of Summer as from the keen, cutting winds, freezing atmosphere and bitter cold of Winter. Rheumatism never comes by accident. It is in the blood and system before a pain is felt. Some inherit a strong predisposition or tendency; it is born in them; but whether heredity is back of it or it comes from imprudent and careless ways of living, it is the same always and at all seasons. The real cause of Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and acid condition of the blood, and as it flows through the body deposits a gritty, irritating substance or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terri ble pains, inflammation and swelling and the misery and torture of Rheumatism. No other disease «auses such pain, such wide-spread suffering. It deforms and cripples its thousands, leaving them helpless invalids/and nervous wrecks. - When neglected or improperly treated, Rheuma tism becomes chronic, the pains fire wandering or shifting from one place to another, sometimes sharp and cutting, again dull and aggravating. The mus cles of the neck, shoulders and back, the joints of the knees, ankles and wrists, are most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments and plasters are applied to get relief, but such things do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are neither curative nor preventive. The blood must be purified, and all irritating matter re moved from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no remedy does this so certainly and so quickly as S. S. S. It contains not only purifying and tonic properties, but solvent qualities as well, all these being necessary in eradicating the poison and making a complete and lasting cure of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cleanses the blood of all irritating matter and the acid particles are dissolved and filtered out of the system, thus relieving the muscles and joints and removing all danger of future attacks. Under its tonic effect the nervous system re gains its normal tone and the appetite and digestion im prove, resulting in the upbuilding of the general health. S. S. S. contains no Potash or minerals of any descrip tion, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Old people willfinditnotonly the best blood purifier, but a most invigorating tonic—just such a remedy as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation. Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic stage, the treatment must be Internal, deep and thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less than an absolutely perfect cure. This you can get by the use of S. S. S., the oldest and best purifier and greatest of all tonics.
