FOR WOMAN'S HEALTH
Earnest Letters from Women Be
lieved of Pain by Mrs. Pinkham.
"Deab Mrs. Pinkham : Before I
commenced to 'take your medicine I
was in a terrible state, wishing myself
dead a good many times. Every part
of my body seemed to pain in some
way. At time of menstruation my
suffering' was something terrible. I
thought there was no cure for me. but
after taking several bottles of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all
my bad feelings were gone. 1 am now
well and enjoying good health. 1 shall
always praise your medicine." Mrs.
Amob Feschlkr, Box 226, Romeo, Mich.
Female Troubles Overcome
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I had female
trouble, painful menses, and kidney
complaint, also stomach trouble. About
a year ago I happened to pick up a
paper that contained an advertisement
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and when I read how it had
helped others, 1 thought it might help
me, and decided to give it a trial. I
did so, and as a result am now feeling
perfectly well. 1 wish to thank you for
the benefit your medicine has been to
me." Mrs. Clara Stieber, Diller, Neb.
No flore Pain
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : Your Vege
table Compound has been of much
benefit to me. When my menses first
appeared they were very irregular.
They occurred too often and did not
leave for a week or more. I always
suffered at these times with terrible
pains in my back and nhrlnmpn, Would
be in bed for several days and would
not be exactly rational at times. 1
took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and menses became regular
and pains left me entirely." Mrs. E.
F. Custrk, Brule, Wis.

Miss Susan Wymir.
Miss Snsan Wymar, teacher in the
Richmond school, Chicago, 111., writes
the following letter to Dr. llartman
regarding Pe-ru-na. She says: "Only
those who have suffered as I have, can
know what a blessing it is to be able t
find relief in Pe-ru-na. This baa been
my experience. A friend in need is a
friend indeed, and every bottle of Pe-ru-na
I ever bought proved a good
friend to me." Snsan Wymar.
Mrs. Margaretha Danben, 1214
North Superior street, Racine City,
Wis., writes: "I feel so well and good
and happy now that pen cannot de
scribe it. Pe-ru-na is everything to
me. I have taken several bottles of
Pe-ru-na foi female complaint. I am
in the change of life and it does me
good." Pe-ru-na has no equal in all
of the irregularities and emergencies
peculiar to women caused by pelvic
oatarrh.

Polly's Change of Mind.
A
course," he was snvlnir. "if
the question concerned only
you I should not ask you for
more than ;t sliiiplo answer, but 1 ;i;u
involved too deeply myself to be
shelved lightly, ami 1 feci that I have
it least an honest right to be answered
more lengthily than by a short 'No.'
However significant that word may be,
it is at best Insufficient."
"I might be angry with you for what
P'U nave said," she replied.
"Well, yes, but I a in willing to run
tie risk," he said, with a short, mirth
less laugh. It had to her ears a little
pathetic ring, and she turned and look
ed curiously at him.
"Does it really hurt you so much,
Dicky?" she asked.
"Ah, Polly," he broke out, roughly,
"you women little know how stinging
even your softest words are sometimes.
And the sting does not always go away
quickly," he aded bitterly.
"Poor Dick," she said softly, "really
I didn't mean to hurt you so. I didn't
know that you cared so much."
He raised his head and looked nt her
eagerly, but he saw only pity, and the
drawn, tense look came again over his
face.
"I thought that we were merely good
frieuds," she continued. "1 never
dreamed that you would have been so
foolish. We have been such jolly com
rades, and now you have spoiled every
thing. No, don't Interrupt nie.' she
said, quickly. "You need not get angry.
You have, you know well, spoiled all.
We shall never be ou really good terms
again. There will always be a con
straint." "Polly," he Interrupted gravely, "do
you know how you nre hurting me?"
She turned upon him, startled at his
words. Surely the man sitting opposite
her was not her old Dick.
"Forgive me," she said, contritely; "I
was heedless, dear." She really pitied
him, yet somehow she hardly knew
how to take blm as he appeared now.
"Poor Dicky," she said again,"I ought
to have seen the drift of things, but I
have been unkind. I see it all now, but
you will forgive? It was simply unin
tentional." "Dear Polly," he said, "you 'weren't
to blame. I, not you, was blind. I
should have known that you could nev
er have cared for such as I. I am un
worthy of you, 1 have always felt, but,"
he added, "I chose to dream, I chose to
play with fire, and I have got the usual
punishment."
"Poor Dicky," she said, softly; and
even as she spoke a look of wondrous
pity came Into her eyes. All her former
Ideals seemed to totter and to be on the
verge of falling.
The other rose unsteadily and held
out his hand. "Dear little Polly," and
his voice trembled, "you were not to
blame. I think I had better go. I am
In good-by. I shall go away for a
while. I don't know when I shall re
turn." He remained for an Instant waiting
for some answer, but uoue came. He
tried to scan her face, but there w.-s a
haze before his eyes and he could see
only the blurred oval outlines. Her lip
was quivering, too, and her eyes were
full of tears, yet he did not see them.
Then he turned and walked mechani
cally toward the door, opened It and
weut out of the room.
The other remained standing, look
ing apparently at the floor, but In real
ity saying nothing.
"Poor Dicky," she murmured, "poor
Dicky," and In her eyes a newer light
still ahone through the tears. Then run
ning swiftly to the door she opened It
and called his name.
The sound of her voice startled him,
and he turned and looked wonderlngly
at her. The har.e seemed suddenly to
lift from before him, and be noted for
the first time the little, tear-stained
face. The new light In her eye stirred
blm strangely. Tbe smile that hovered
around her still quivering lips tanta
lized blm, and at the same time raised
a wild hope In his breast. He ran rather
than walked to her, grasped her hands
roughly and searched her face eagerly.
Neither spoke for a few seconds, and
then It was she who broke the strained
silence.
"You foolish boy," was all she said,
but he understood.
QUEER FISHING IN JAMAICA.
Ton Pound on the Iloat with a Club
and They Jump Aboard.
A gentleman who has returned from
Kingston, Jamaica, tells how they
catch "red snappers." All you need lu
the way of tackle Is a club, with which
you beat a tattoo ou the side of your
boat. This seems to chartu the fish so
that they leave their native element
and Jump aboard In schools, almost
swamping the boat sometimes. Here
is his account:
"I have just returned from Kings
ton, Jamaica," said he, "where I saw
many interesting things, chief among
them to an ardent flshonuau like my
selfbeing the method of taking the
red snapper, a large fish common to the
waters around that Island. Soon after
my arrival I heard how the natives
caught these tish with clubs, which
seemed either to attract or alarm the
fish so much that they jumped out of
the water in all directions and many
fell Into the boat.
"In order to prove the truth or false
ness of the account to my own satis
faction I made arrangements with one
'nf the native tiyhern!!1!! to tnUo nie with
him ou one of his midnight excursions,
all the fishing there being done at night
on account of the heat.
"The moon was high when we start
ed for the fishing grounds, a couple of
miles outside Kingston harbor. As
soon as we got there my boatman
ceased rowing and peered round for
signs of the fish. Suddeny he whis
pered ami pointed to a spot where the
otherwise calm surface was ruffled, as
if by a sudden squall.
"Squall or fish, It was gradually ap
proaching, and presently the ripples
were all round the boat. Now, massa
Buckra, start de racket,' cried my boat
man, at the same time commencing a
loud tattoo on the side of the boat with
his club. I followed suit, and In an In
stant the air seemed to be full of fish,
coming from all points of the compass.
"One big fellow struck me In the chest
and knocked me flat on my back In the
bottom of the boat, where I lay floun
dering among the fish that had fallen
aboard.
"It was some moment's before I
could scramble to my feet. When I did
so, the school had passed on and the
flight was over. At least a score of the
snappers had fallen on board. They
were large fish, resembling a sea bass,
except In color, which, instead of being
black, was red.
"During the night we ran Into sev
eral more schools, and the same per
formance wils repeated, excepting that
I kept my seat and did not again min
gle with the fish in the bottom of the
boat.
"On the way back to Kingston I
asked the darky fisherman how they
first discovered this method of taking
the red snapper. He could tell me noth
ing about It; all he could say being:
'Htm take dat way long time, massa.'
"I beard later that a Chinaman was
the first to discover that a red snap
per could be persuaded to leave Its
native element at the sound of a club
applied to a boat's side, but how he
found If out nobody seemed to know."
A Candid Publisher.
In the recent death of .1. Schabelltz,
the well-known Zurich publisher and
author, Switzerland has lost one of its
extraordinary characters. He was a
shrewd business man, an excellent
linguist, a skillful writer, and one of
the most savage publishers who ever
lived. When he accepted the famous
memoirs of Count von Arnlm he wrote
on the postal card with his acceptance
the proviso: "I reserve the right to
correct your Infernally bad grammar."
To an aspiring poet wlio had sub
mitted manuscript he answered by pos
tal card: "I refuse to be disgraced by
printing your doggerel. I dn't return
the copy because you dou't Inclose
enough postage. If you will send It,
with the price of this card, I will re
turn to you, but I don't think the stuff
Is worth the expense on your part."
One of his postal cards to a novelist
read about as follows: "For heaven's
sake, come and tase away tbe uu
namable mass of paper you 'left here
for me to look at!"
An ambitious historian was crushed
by the following, written, llkr all of bis
correspondence, upon a postal card:
