continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi
cians propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea
son why so n*any physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre
sponding with Mrs Pinkham. daughter-
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
•more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs.Pinkham helpedMrs.T.
C.Willadsen of Manning, la. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
“ I can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I cannot express my gratitude in
words. Before I wrote to you telling you
how I felt, I had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I
had female trouble andwould dailyhave faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased I wrote to you for j r our ad
vice and received a letter full of instructions
just what to tlo, and also commenced to take
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and I have been restored to jierfect health.
Had it not been for you I would have been
in my grave to-day.' 1
Mountains of proof establish the fact
that no medicine in the world equals
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for restoring women’s health.

Says that Mysterious Voices Tod
Her to Kill Her Uncle, Who Had
Ruined Her.
New York, May 23.—Josephine Ter
ranova took the stand Tuesday in her
own behalf at her trial on the charge
of having murdered her aunt.
The defendant said that she came tc
this country when eight years old, go
ing to live with her uncle and aunt
the Peggios.
“I did not go to church nor school,’'
she said, ‘‘for seven years after I came
to America. My uncle and aunt would
not let me. I wanted to go. I did
everything, washing, scrubbing, eve*ry
thing, and sometimes there were ten
eleven and sixteen boarders in the
house.”
“Do you remember one winter morn
ing when you were about eleven and
a half years old?” she was asked.
The girl replied that she did; that
her aunt had taken her to the uncle’s
room that day.
"That is what. I am on trial here
about,” she added.
As the girl told of her uncle’s
treatment, a woman spectator fainted
and the court, proceedings were inter
rupted by the resulting commotion
The girl hesitated in giving her testi
mony, saying that she was ashamed
to speak of it.
She said that her aunt had forced
her to obey her uncle, and had beat
en her, breaking a stock during one of
the whippings and making the witness
so sick she went to bed.
The girl said that she was never
permitted to play with other children
and was forbidden to talk English or
associate with ihe boarders in the
house. She said she wanted to go
to her mother, bi| was not permitted
to do so.

Son Claims Mother Made Threats
Against Hie Life.
Columbus, Ga., May 88.—Mrs. Sa
bina V. Wiggins has Just been arraign
ed before Justice J. M. I^ennard as de
fendant In a novel case, the prosecutor

had a peace warrant Issued against his
mother. The case was dismissed by
the magistrate after thorough Invest!,
gallon.
Wiggins, who is an only child, mar
ried last October and says that his
mother raised objection to her daugh-
ter-in-law and '..ould not let the young
couple live with her. The couple then
made their home on the Alabama side
of the Chattahoochee, in Girard.
Wiggins claimed that his mother
had made such threats against him
that his life was in danger. His moth
er is tall and ots mg and is probably
more than a match for him physically.
On the stand the young man swore
that he had hoard that his mother
would separate the couple if she had
to kill one or both of them. He tes
tified that his mother had visited his
home in Girard at unseemly hours of
night and placed salt and straw on his
steps and sulphur in his w T ell.
Mrs. Wiggins denied these state
ments in toto.
