A TRAINED NURSE

Regard to Their Health.

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

“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.

Saigon, April 20—'J:o0 a. m.—Ad
vices just received from Kamranh hay
tay that 22 Japanese warships passed
tin bay between S and S o’clock in
the evening of April 2d.
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

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.
Write us fully and freely about your case, and medical advice will be given without
charge, and our special book on Rheumatism will be mailed free to all desiring it.
