In many parts of the oumry women, earnest mis! devoted In . he cause of temperance, were led to ac reit these widely circulated statement* about the President. In one state a chain of prayers for ihe defeat of Mr. M< Kin iey was suggested, and even started by a branch of the Women's (’hriatian Tem perance Union. When the women came *0 Washington to hold ihelr nati mal con ference It was with the expectation that ihelr opinion of the President and his course would b ■ uttered ot!V lolly in the very shadow of the White House. Th -essions of ihe union were held in a the ater acro-H Pennsylvania avenue, nnd In full view of the prlndpa/entrance to the Kx utivc Mansion. Hven so late ns a . ouple of days b fore the conference ' opened It was common talk among the delegates that the President was to be made to feel the full weigh! of the or ganization's dissatisfaction with him For a week the women held their meet ings scarcely earshot distance from the White House. They adjourned without one word of personal reflection upon the President. They weni away with Im pre-*inns of him radically changed. These women stopped in Washington homes They met th** temperance worker* and the church people of Washington. They mnde mlmrte Inquiries re~|M*cting the life at the White HoUre.

When a physician tella a woman suffering with ova rian or womb trouble that an oporation is necessary, it of courso frightens her. The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. And our hospitals are full of women who are there for ovarian and womb operations ! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage whoro an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have itoen cured by Mrs. Pinkham’s med icine after the doctors had said tho operation must be performed. Lydia E. Pinkham’n Vegetable Compound has been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. Id fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb troubles, and womb troubles are so very common that ovaritis is 6teadily on the increase among women. It is, nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend wrong treatment for it is a crime for which thero cannot be too deep a penalty. It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicin to cure it. that we present for ovarian and womb troubl Lydia E. Pinklmm’s Vegetable Compound as th most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day. Any person who could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham’B files at her office in Lynn, Mass., would he convinced of the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound. The strongest and most grateful statements possibl t to make come from women who have escaped the operat ing table by tho use of this medicine. Let any woman suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham’s advice. I you are beyond the reach of the medicine, you will b frankly tol 1 ho, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully and kindly advised. The most serious of all the diseases of women, as wel os the minor ills, are promptly overcome by Lydia Em Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. /fq BXim C" ISIS Owing to th- ?-r th-tuene •keptin-l people hare from Urn* to im* qoectfcxMxl VE ® m 'a I" l/vM WLI the genuitteneee of tlj* teetim.mul letter* we ere eoneUuttly puMilling, w* have ?<£# g |( ■ff ■ It U■nlt la depoetuxl with the NeUonal City Hank, of Lynn.
