HOSPITALS CROWDED
{MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN
Mrs. Plnkham’s Advice Saves Many
From this Sad and Costly Experience
It> is a sad but
true fact that
every year
brings an i n -
crease in the
number of opera¬
tions performed
upon women in
our hospitals.
More than three
fourths of the
patients lying
_ _ _ __on those snow
■white beds are women and girls who
are awaiting or recovering from opera,
tions made necessary by neglect.
Every one of these patients had
plenty of warning in that bearing down
feeling, pain at the left or right of the
womb, nervous exhaustion pain in the
small of the back, leucorrhoea, dizzi¬
ness. flatulency, displacements of the
Womb or irregularities. All of these
1 Symptoms are indications of an un
ihealthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not heeded the trouble
will make headway until the penalty
|ha* to be paid by a dangerous opera¬
tion, and a lifetime of impaired useful¬
ness at best, while in many cases the
results are fatal.
The following letter should bring
hope to suffering women. Miss Luella
A darns,of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle,
'Wash., writes:
Dear Mrs. Finkham:—
“About two years ago I was a great suf¬
ferer from a severe female trouble, puins and
headaches. finally told The doctor that I prescribed trad a tumor formeand on the
me
womb and must undergo an operation it I
wanted to get well. 1 felt that this was my
death warrant, hut 1 spent hundreds of dol¬
lars for medical help, but the tumor kept
growing Fortunately I corresponded with
»n aunt In the New England Htates, and she
advised me to take Lydia K. Pinkham’a Veg
- •ablo Compound, as it was said to cure tu
ors I did so and immediately began to
Improve in health, and 1 was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation 1 wish every suffering woman
Would try this great preparation."
Juat as surely as Miss Adams was
cured of the troubles enumerated in
lier letter, just so surely Compound will Lydia E.
Pinkhum’s Vegetable suffers cure
every woman in the land who
from womb troubles, inflammation of
the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous
excitability and nervous prostration.

Shrewd Cats.
Chief Clerk Samuel Roop, of the
Bureau of Police, who is a close stu¬
dent of animal life, relates an incident
coming under his personal observa¬
tion which goes far to prove the rea¬
soning power of the feline tribe. “For
several years,” said Mr. Roop recent¬
ly, “a black cat grew sleek and fat in
a mug berth at a grocery store, near
Twenty-first and Parrish streets. This
cat undoubtedly was envied by all
the cats in th&2n<£ghborhood. I make
this assertion confidently, because
wfien poor puss was killed by an au¬
tomobile the other night, a dozen cats
suddenly appeared in the vicinity of
the grocery store berth You can be¬
lieve it or not, as you tike, but every
one of those cats is black, and I can
only assume th n h expected to
impersonate the dead feline and step
into his shoes, metaphorically speak¬
ing, unchallenged. One fellow, a dead
ringer for the unfortunate tabby,
thrashed all the others, and actually
palmed himself off on the storekeep¬
er, who knew nothing about the acci¬
dent, as the real pet The grocery
man didn’t have tz.9 h’.art to fire him
out when he learned the truth, and
the new cat is waxing as sleek as hia
predecessor."—Philadelphia Record.

PASSlNC OF PORRIDGE.
Makes VYay For tho Rettet Food of ■
Rotter I>ar.
»
_
“Porridge Is no longer used for
breakfast in my home,” writes a loyal
Briton from Huntsville, Out. This was
an admission of no small significance
to one “brought up” on the time-hon¬
ored stand-by.
“One month ago.” she continues. “I
bought a package of Grape-Nuts food
for who had bhen an in¬
valid for over a year. He had passed
through a severe attack of pneumonia
and la grippe combined, and was left
in a very had condition when they
passed away.
“I tried everything for his benefit,
but nothing seemed to do him any
good. Month followed month and he
still remained ns weak as ever. I was
almost discouraged about him when I
got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has
compensated me for my anxiety.
“In the one month that lie has eaten
Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds
in weight, his strength is rapidly re¬
turning to him, and lie feels like a new
man. Now we ail eat Grape-Nuts food
and are the better for it. Our little 5
year-old boy. who used to suffer from
pains in the stomach after eating the
old-fashioned porridge, has no more
trouble since lie began to use Grape
Nuts, and I have I 10 more doctor's bills
to pay for him.
“We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet
creSm. and find it the most tasty dish
in our bill of fare
' Last Monday l ate 4 teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts and ream for breakfast,
nothing else, then set to work ami got
my morning's work done by 9 o’clock,
and felt less tired, much stronger, than
if I had made n?y breakfast on meat,
potatoes, etc., a I used. to. I wouldn't
be without G»ape-Nuts in the house
for any money.” Name given by Pos

Farmers Urged to Sign Pledge.
President M. L. Johnson of the
Georgia division of the Southern Cot¬
ton Association has issued a call to
the farmers to sign the pledge in
the hands of the cotton association of¬
ficers not to sell their cotton under
12 1-2 cents. He calls attention to the
fact that this pledge has been violated
in some instances, and urges the far¬
mers to keep up the fight and win it.
He declares that this disregard of the
pledge will mean that the remainder
of the crop will have to be sold for
15 cents for the south to get its
rightful share of the wealth thus pro
duced.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Governor Terrell has issued the
usual annual proclamation appointing
a day of thanksgiving. The governor
says:
“The Giver of all good has be¬
stowed great blessings upon the peo¬
ple of Georgia, during the year now
drawing to a close .The laborer has
fonnd remunerative work; the farm¬
er has gathered a splendid harvest;
the manufacturer has prospered; the
business man has been remarkably
'free from reverse, and the citizen en¬
gaged in every other useful calling or
occupation has enjoyed his share of
the prosperity of the whole people.
“We have been spared disasters,
protected from pestilence, and shield¬
ed from contagious diseases. We
should return thanks and praise to
Almighty God for these blessings that
so freely and unstintedly have fallen
unto us.
“Therefore, in accordance with the
custom of our country, and the action
of the president of the United States,
I, Joseph M. Terrell, governor of the
state of Georgia, do issue this, my
proclamation, designating Thursday,
the 30th day of November, 1905, a
day of thanksgiving and praise.
“On that day the people are request¬
ed to renounce worldly occupations
end assemble in their places of wor¬
ship, or about family alters, to give
thanks to God for His multiplied
blessings, and to pray earnestly for a
continuance of such mercies as may
be best for our state and people.
"This day of prayer need not be
unmixed with pleasure and sports that
contribute to healthy diversion; but
in the midst of popular joy we should
remember by words and acts the wid¬
ow and the orphan, the afflicted and
the destitute, and all who are unhappy
from any cause.
“Given under my hand and the seal
of the executive department, at the
capitol. in the city of Atlanta, on this
one thousand, nine hundred and five,
and of the independence of the United
States of America, the one hundred
and thirtieth.
