The boats crashed together, the No Wonder having her hull crushed In for ward, and Immediately began to fill. Her pilot headed for shore and succeeded in runniiur the nose of the boat up on the sloping bank, where she stuck fast.

POHL More Diseases, but Fewer Deaths During Her Term, She Says. PORTLAND, Or.. Jan. 26 (To the Editor.) Two letters, which have appeared in your columns within as many days re garding the conduct of the Health De partment, suggest that a little more light on the matters they discuss might not be amissi Tlfcs larger part of Dr. John Maddens letter Is too puerile for notice, and may be passed by without comment. His sec ond paragraph is a complete mis-statement of fact. He says: "She has disputed tiw Oregonian'a statement that the low mor tality of the city during the past year was due to the splendid climate of Ore gon, declaring that such credit should be glan solely to her' department, and thus two doctors disagree." I can assure the doctor I will be very glad to see how he can reconcile this very extraordinary asser tion with the language of my annual report, a copy of which was sent to tho various newspapers of the city some time ago and which was surely readily to be got at by anyone desiring to know what It contained. If he chooses, he can still find therein "The continuously low d.ath rate In the city of Portland Is due largely to the pure water supply, to the mild and fostering climate, and to the comparative absence of poverty and overcrowding that so In creases the mortality of larger and older cities, supplemented by such auxiliaries as hospital service, quarantine, vaccination, antitoxin, disinfection, ambulance service, and to tha school and market Inspection. With a proper garbage gathering and in cinerating system and adequate milk in spection the death rate might fall still lower." Dr. Wheeler's contention that a larger number of communicable diseases are re ported Is cheerfully admitted. To secure accurate and complete reports has been one of the strongest efforts of this de partment. The history of the office Is. that years ago deaths only were reported. Later, severe cases of contagious diseases were reported although deaths from such dis eases usually exceeded the number actually reported prior to death. As the work broadened snd improved the reports were more frequently made, the cases quar antined and the deaths became relatively fewer. A case that is reported, recorded and under observation Is a safe case. It is the contaclous di&.-ase that is not reported, not recorded and .therefore not quarantined thet is dangerous. That Dr. Wheeler's In ferences are incorrect may readily be roen bv adding the death returns to the com parative tables lie has submitted covering the year l!n" during tho first half of which be was In charge of the Health Depart ment.

Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound ? w If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous .did remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas. "When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I bad been sick for tbree years witb female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisment of L.ydia E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound, and -was advised to try it. " My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. WHEN A bad back turns every twenty-four hours into one dull round of pain and misery you are lame In the morning, nasged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest in the evening or sleep well at night. It hurts to bend over, straighten up. get up from a chair, or lift even a light weight. Any sudden twist, turn or awkward move ment sends a tearing twinge of pain through the weak spot. Backache is really kidney - ache. The kidneys are in the small of the hack, and any pain there Is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine is discolored, contains sandy sedi ment, or passes too frequently, then you have double proof. Keep the k.dneys well and the kid neys will keep you well.

Just as long as the circulation remains contaminated with the impurities and catarrhal matters which produce the trouble, the mucous membranes or inner linings of the body will be kept in a state of irritation and disease. Sprays, lotions and other local applications will sometimes temporarily relieve the tight,, full feeling in the head, buzzing noises in the ears, uncomfortable, stuffy feeling of the nostrils, and help to loosen the mucus in the throat; but Catarrh is a constitutional blood disorder and until it has been entirely driven from the system there can be no permanent cure.

It attacks the disease at its head and by thor oughly purif ying and cleansing the circulation, and ridding it of every par ticle of impurity, and at the same time enriching the blood, allows the inflamed and irritated membranes to heal, improves the general health, and stops every disagreeable symptom.
