"Bui. of coutee, that Is ail nonsense." he exclaimed. "It was only the wind we heard last night. No sensible person could possibly believe that Ihe sound we heard lust night could come from any thing sup< rnatural. To-night we will have plenty of light and a dance, anil I warrant we will hear no more of tha ghost." That evening there was no one gayer than Tommy." About 11 o'clock he start ed them all danclng.and brought all of the I candelabra and lamps of the house into I the big hall and drawing-room, so that the tower floor was all ablaxe with light. * Nevertheless, everyone felt nervous, and when a few minutes before U o'eio k, ttio hall Are again burned blue, and u number of the lam pa went out, the dancers stood situ amt the music stopped, while again and again, and yet once again, came the weird wail, followed as before hy Ihe re* ■ pensive howl from the tlreat Dane It was too much!

As soon as a woman’s nerves become excited by somo feminine disorder, she loses control of her speech. She has no patience with anybody or anything. The ones she loves the best are the ones to whom she talks the meanest. Trifles light as air drive her almost frantic. She is worse than crazy, because she knows what 6he is doing and can’t help it. She doesn’t havo hysteria and doesn't have fainting spells. She is nervous, horribly nervous. Does she get sympathy ? Oh, yes, she gets sympathy for awhile, but she acts so outrageously that everybody keeps out of her way as much as possible. After a whilo they begin to think she’s malicious and could do better if she tried real hard. She has turned her best friends against her. This woman is sick with about the most discouraging sickness women can have, and there is a person w'ho understands her case better than any ono else in the world. That person is Mrs. Piukhara. The nervousness comes from some derangement of the feminine organs, and is constantly fed and made*worse by tho constantly developing disease. Female diseases never got better of themselves. They must have proper treatment. Ordinary physicians do not know how to grapnle with these dis eases of women. Out of the hundreds of thousands of women Mrs. Pinkham has cun*l, not one in five hundred tried her advice or her medicine until they had exhausted tiie skill of their own physician, sometimes of several physicians. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. Her advice is prompt and free to all suffering women. You may not know that your nervousness comes from female troubles. Your doctor may not know it. He may tell you it does not; hut does he cure you ? Does he help you any ? Mrs. Pinkhain will tell you the truth about yourself, and you’ll believe her. Dou’t throw your life’s happiness away and make yourself unlovable, when a little diligent heed to Mrs. Piukham’s advice will drive away your nervousness by removing the cause of your trouble. Read carefully the letters from women Mrs. Pinkham has helped. After thirty years of success in curing women’s ills, can you not believe it worth while to tost the virtues of Lydia E.
