AN OPEN LETTER
?
i et o oL
Addressed to Women by the Treasurer
of the W.C.T.U. of Kansas City,
| Mrs. E. C. Smith, '
“My Dear Sisters:—l believe in advocating and upholding
everything that will lift up and help women, and but little use appears
all knowledge and learning if you have not the health to enjoy it.
“ Having found by personal experience that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is a medicine of rare virtue, and having seen
dozens of cures where my suffering sisters have been dragged back to
life and usefulness from an untimely grave simply by the use of a few
bottles of that Compound, I must proclaim its virtues, or I should not
be doing my duty to suffering mothers and dragged-cut housekeepers.
“ Dear Sister, is your health poor, do you feel worn out and used
up, especially do you have any of the troubles which beset our sex, take
my advice; let the doctors alone, try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound ; it is better than any and all doctors, for it cures and they
do not.”—Mgs. E. C. Smrry, 1212 Oak St., Treasurer W. C, T. U, Kan.

MRS. E. C. SMITH.
What is left for the women of America after reading such a letter as the
above, but to believe. Don’t some of you who are sick and miserable feel how
wicked you are to remain so, making life a burden for yourself and yscur
friends when a cure is easily and inexpensively obtained? Don’t you think it
would pay to drop some of your old prejudices as Mrs. Smith says, and ** Try
Lydia E‘Y Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which is better than all the
doctors for cures 2’ Surely, the experience of hundreds of thousands of
women whom the Compound has cured should con vince all women of the wis
«dom of taking the advice that Mrs. Smith offers in her letter above published.
Read What [lrs. Burnham says:
*“ DEAR MRs. PiNkuaM :—Words fail to express how thankful I am to you
for your advice, and I cannot speak too highiy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. I was sick for three years with female weakness;
1 had dizzy spells, headache, backache, feet and hands were cold all the time,
wonld%:t tired and faint very easy. I also had dropsy and was troubled with
lencorrheea. I suffered for two weeks before each menstrual period and my
ovaries would swell very badly. I took lots of medicines from doctors, but
received no benefit. To please my husband I tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and I am now a well woman, and your Compound
alone did it.”—Mgs. H. W. Bur~NHAM, Russell, Mich. (Jan. 31, 1901).
Follow the record of this medicine, and remember that these thousands
of cures of women whose letters are constantly printed in this paper were not
brought about by ‘‘ something else,” but by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound, the great Woman's Remedy for Woman's Ills.
® Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred
thousand times, for they get what they want—a cure. Moral Stick to the
medicine that you know is Best. Write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I REWARD. —We havedeposited with the National City Bank of Lynn, $5OOO, I
which will be paid to any person who can tind that the above testimonial letters
35000 are not genuine, or were published before ohtainiu% the writer’s special per
missicn. Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
The Brunswick and Birmingham does
not owe one cent now, and all fi
nancial arrangemeants, 1t is said, haye
bzen made to carry out in detail every
plan conceived by President Machen
in the outset, and this includes the
ultimate building of the shortest
transcontinental route across the
United States from Brunswick to San
Dievo, Lal.
~ CHILDREN TO FIGHT DIRT.
Jersey City Minister Training Large
Number to Aid Street Cleaners.
The Rev. E. L. Stoddard, Ph. D., rec
tor of St. John'’s Protestant Episcopal
cuurch, Jersey City, N. J., is training
the 1,000 children in the church school
to co-operate with the city authorities
to keep the streets clean. He intends
to make of the children a volunteer
street cleaning brigade, such as Colo
nel Waring established on the east side
among the children of the tenements.
Dr. Stoddard sald to a New York
Evening Journal reporter recently:
“We reach many parents through the
children, and it makes them more care
ful about throwing things in the streets
or placing light refuse upon the tops
of ash barrels. The children, I find, stop
to pick up waste paper that litters the
streets. St. John’s boys are not found
among those who turn over ash barrels I
for sport.” g

RODE A BULL TO CHURCH.
Talbotton New Era Tells of the Prank of
a Citizen.
' B. Hinton, Jr. who lives three miles
| west of Talbotton, killed an unusually
llarge hog last week. The net weight
[of this porker was 530 pouvnds. He
|Bays that this pork and the arrival of
a little girl at his humble home has
added considerably to his possesgions,
he valuing the meat at 370 and hisl
latest offspring at $l,OOO. Friend Bob
is a jolly soul and exceedingly prank
ish. = Perhaps he is the only man in
'the state who enjoys the unique dis
'tinction of having ridden a bull to a'
'church when seryices were in prog
ress. He rode the animal to Olive
Branch church and this incident has
pot bheen forgotten. The children
laughed, the maidens blushingly tit
tered, and the old people frowned.
Oune of the prominent members of the
church, at the conclusion of the ser
vices, went to the waggish bull-rider
and threatened to prosecute him.
But the creator of this merriment
at the church grounds boldly told his
would-be prosecutor that the constitu
tion of the United States did wotv say
that a person should not ride a bull or
any other animal to & church.—Tal

INVITED TO CORONATION.
Albert Fairfax Only American
Receiving Royal Summons.
Albert Fairfax of the Union club,
who holds a clerkship in the banking
house of Brown Bros., says the society
writer of the New York Journal, will
enjoy the unique distinction of being
the only American citizen to receive a
royal summons to attend King Ed
ward’s coronation next summer. A€
twelfth Lord Fairfax and a peer of the
Scottish realm he is called upon by the
proclamation which the Duke of Nor
folk has just published in the Loadon
Gazette by the order and in the name
of Edward VII, to send his address be
tween now and January to the earl
marshal of the United Kingdom in or
der that the Ling's summons may be
forwarded to him, not merely inviting,
but commanding him to attend the
ceremony of the coronation in West
minster abbey.
Should young Albert Fairfax, who,
like many another nobleman making
his home in tbis country, dispenses
with the handle to his name, see fit to
marry between now and next spring
his bride will be entitled by British law
to receive a royal summons to attend
the coronation as a peeress of Scotland
and will, like her husband, be forced to
provide horself without delay with a
silver gilt coronet and an ermine lined
mantle or robe in accordance with the
cut and pattern described in the royal
proclamation above laenticned, as pro
mulgated by the Duke of Norfolk.
CHRYSTAL GAZING.
Latest Craze In London Society
Started by Andrew Lang.
A new craze threatens to grip society.
according to a cable dispatch from Lon
don to the Chicago Record-Herald.
That is crystal gazing. Andrew Lang
is the prime mover. Ile has been rec
ommending that every one should pos
sess a crystal ball and sit down with it
in the hope of seeing uncanny pictures.
sMr. Lang succeeded even beyond his
dreams.
People everywhere are buying crystal
balls. They have read Mr. Lang's ar
ticle in a monthly review, and on its
advice are writing to the Psychical Re
search society in DBuckingham street,
the Strand. for the necessary crystals.
Mr. Bennett, secretary of the society,
says that as a result of Mr. Lang’s ar
ticle the demand for crystals has gone
up with a bound. So many are the or
ders that be is unable to execute them
all.
“There is something weirdly attrac
tive in Mr. Lang’s instructions to crys
tal gazers. It is best, he says, to go
into a room and sit down with your
back to the light. Place the ball at
the proper focus on a piece of dark
cloth. Try to exclude reflections. Think
of everything you please. Stare, say,
five minutes at the ball. That is all,
Mr. Lang says he has known people
to see in the crystal things actually
happening miles away. More wonder
ful still, he has krown people gazing
into separate crystals at the same mo
ment each to see the same picture.
Ninety-Eight Per Cent.
There is fascination about big profits
to a business man. But the conserva
tive and cautious trader prefers to
have the lesser per cent. of interest
and the larger per centof safety in his
investments. There is no business
man who would not consider it a sound
proposition to invest in an enterprise
which absolute loss was impossible
and which offered ninety-eight chances
in a hundred of a rich profit. "T'he sta
tistics of cures effected by Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery show that
nincty-eight per cent of cases of ‘weak
lungs, can be absolutely cured. Al
most if nct all forms of physical weak
ness may be traced to starva'ion. Star
vation saps the strength. The body is
just as much starved when the stom
ach cannot extract the nutrition from
the food it receives as when there is
no food. ‘Weak lungs,’ bronchial af
fection, obstinate coughs, call
for nourishment. Golden Medical
Discovery supplics that nourishment
in its most condensed and assimilable
form. It makes ‘weak lungs’ strong
by strengthing the stomach and or
gans of digestion which digest and
distribute the food. and by increasing
the supply of pure blood.
Frank Treadwell, Bennett, la., was
troubled with kidney disease for two
years. He writes: “I have taken sev
eral kinds of kidney remedies. but
with little benefit. Finally I tried
FFoley’s Kidney Cure, and a one dollar
bottle cured me.

agent during the period; in addition
$250 will be divided pro rata among
all agents whosend 20 or more sub
scriptions and fail to get any other
