A SURGICAL
OPERATION
If there is any one thing that a
woman dreads more than another it
is a surgical operation.
We can state without fear of a
contradiction that there are hun
dreds, yes, thousands, of operations
performed upon women in our hos
pitals which are entirely unneces
sary and many have been avoided by
LYDIA E.PINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
For proof of this statement read
the following letters.
Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman,
Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ For eight years I suffered from the
most severe form of female troubles ami
was told that an operation was my only
hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham
for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and it has saved
my life and made me a well woman.”
Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Omrch
Road, Moorestown. X. J., writes:
“I feel it is my duty to let people
know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done for me. I
Buffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an
operation was necessary. My husband
objected, and urged me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and to-day 1 am well and strong.”

CONGRESS LAUGHS
AT MESSAGE.
PRESIDENT’S PANAMA
LAUGHED AT WHEN
CONGRESS.
MESSAGE
READ TC
Washington, Doc. 1C.—Laughter
greeted the reading of the opening
paragraph of the president's message
bo congress on the Panama canal
charges yesterday.
As the secretary roa d the statement
that the charges we:'© “false in every
*
particular,” Senator Bailey laughed
outright as he was passing along the
rear of the chamber to his seat. Oth
er senators on bot h sides of the cham
ber joined with him, and when the
reader reached the statement that a
•tatementt in a newspaper which he
mentioned wouId not be believed, there
was general merriment from both
aiides of the chamber.
The message elicited the greatest
interest in the house. The members
gave close attention during the read
ing of the document, and there was a
ripple of laughter over the president's
Characterization of Joseph Pulitzer,
publisher of The New York World.
“These stories,” he said, “were first
•brought to imy attention as published
In a paper in Iredianapokis, called ‘The
News,’ edited by Mr. Delavan Smith.
The stories were scurrilous and libel
ous in character and false in every esr
eeuttal particular. Mr. Smith shelters
Mmself behind the excuse that he
merely accepted the statements which
toad appeared in a paper in New York
•The World,’ owned by Joseph Pulitzer.
“W. is idle to say that the known
character of Mr. Pulitzer and his news
paper are such that the statements in
that paper will be believed by nobody.”
