“Before I wrote to you, telling you how I
felt, I had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides,
but it all failed to help mo. My monthly pe
riods had ceased and f suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearing-down pains, and I was so weak 1
could hardly keep around. As a last, resort
I decide 11<> write you and try Lydia K. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so
thankful that I did, for after following your
instruction.-., which you sent mu free of all
charge, rny monthly periods started ; I am
regular and in perfect health. Had it not
been for you I would bo in my grave to-day.
“ I sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as I did.”
When women are troubled with Ir
regular or painful menstruation, weak
ness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ul
ceration of the womb, that bearing-
down feeling, inflammation of the ova
ries, backache, flatulence, general de
bility, indigestion and nervous prostra
tion, they should remr.nber there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E,
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
Noothor female medicine in the world
has received such widespread and un
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address, Lynn,

Woman Who Paid 45 Cents Duty on
Spoon Can t Be Repaid.
New York, May 3.—It has been ofli

Miss Mary M. Goodwin, oi ifuston, can
not recover the sum of -15 cents ex
acted us duty by the collector of cus
toms at Bangor, Mo., on a souvenir
spoon of American manufacture return-
ed from Newfoundland.
Miss Goodwin had testified that sir
bought the spoon in Boston and sent it
to a relative in St. Johns. It did
not match some other articles and was
returned for exchange. The Bangor
collector held it up and mulcted Miss
Goodwin for 45 cents, and that lady at
once appealed to the general board in
timating that she needed the money
more than did the government. It
Is possible she will carry the case to

This is the season that tests the quality of your blood,
and if it is not good, then evidences of it will begin to
show as tbe weather grows warmer. Carbuncles and boils,
pimples aud blotches, and numerous itching and burning
skin eruptions will make their appearance, aud are sure in
dications of • bad blood. If spring-time finds you with im
pure, sickly blood, then you are in poor condition to with
stand the strain upon the system which always comes at this
time of the year. A failure to look after your physical wel
fare now, by purifying tbe blood and toning up the gen
eral system, may result in a complete breaking down of
health later on, aud you will find yourself weak and run
down, with no appetite, and a prey to indigestion and ner
vousness. It is poor blood that makes weak bodies, for it
is this vital fluid that must supply vigor aud strength to our systems, and upon its
purity rests our chances for health. Any impurity, humor or poison in the blood acts inju
riously upon the system aud affects tbe general health. It is to the morbid, unhealthy
matter iu the blood that chronic sores and ulcers are due. The pustular and scaly
skin eruptions so common during spring aud summer, show the blood to he iu a riotous,
feverish condition, as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor or
acrid poison in the blood. A large per cent, of human ailments have their origin in a
polluted, diseased blood, and can only he reached by a remedy that goes into the circulation
and uproots and expels the poison and restores the blood to a healthy, natural condition. If

On two occasions I have -'sed your

can heartily recommend it as a tonic and
blood pun's r. I was troubled with
headaches, irdipestion and liver troutfle,
which all disappeared under the use ot a
few bottles ol your great blood remedy,
S. S. S. My appetite, which was poor,
was greatly helped. I can eat anything
I want now without fear of indigestion,
and my blood has been thoroughly
cleansed of impurities and made rich and
strong again. As a tonic and blood pur
ifier it is all you claim lor it.

I have used your S. S. S. this spring,
thinking of a blood ptlri- and found it to be a blood purifier of the
best order. My system was run down
and my joints ached and pained me con
siderably, and I began to fear that I was
going to be laid up with Rheumatism. I
had used S. S. S. before, and knew what
it was; so I purchased a bottle of it, and
have taken several bottles, with the result
that the aches and pains I had are gone;
