A woman can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolting to relate her private
troubles to a man besides, a mini dues lint

Many women sutler in silence ami drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full well
that I hey should have iiiimeiliale assist
ance, but a natural modesty impels them
to shrink from exposing themselves to the
questions and probable examinations of
even their family physician, Ii is unnec
essary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any local
physician living.
The following invitation is freely offered ;
accept it in tlie same spirit :
Women siill'ering from any form of fe
male weakness are invited to freely com
municate with Mrs I'iiikham. at Lynn.
Mass. All letters are received, opened,

between Mrs. I'inklia,i and t he women of
America which has never been broken and
has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to
write her for advice during the last four
mouths. Out of the vast volume of exper
'ence which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained tlie
very knowledge that will help your case.
She asks nothing in return except your
good-will, and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely, anv woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if sue does not take ad
vantage of this generous oiler of assistance.

GOLF POPULAR IN ENGLAND.
Game Has Proved to Me Fomctbinu
More than a Fad.
The popularity of golf grows yearly
In Kngland. This fact is plainly shown
by the immense increase In the quan

the subject. The "(Jolting Annual,"
which has just been Issued In London,
Is a weighty volume containing (Ml!)
pages. It Is tlx- tenth of its kind, nnd
as It has grown In size and circulation
every year since Its first Issue It would
seem that the prophets of ill oinen were
not (orrect in their prognosis. Ten
years ago. when the game first began
to be popular in Kngland. there was no
end to the people who predicted that It

MISS B, C. Oil It.
was only a craze, a fad, and would
pass. The same prediction, It will be
recalled, was made alsjut cycling. But
golf, like cycling, has grown, especially
in Kngland despite denunciation of the
pulpit and of heroic sportsmen who sny
thnt only old men and weak young men
who cannot play football and cricket
favor It. Hesides the annual, hundreds
of books and pamphlets on golf are pub
lished every summer and the supply
seems to be wholly lrHdeqiiate to the
demand. The new annual is illustrated
with a very pretty picture of Miss E.
C. Orr, the champion of Kngland.
