ñau Snvitation All the world knows of the wonder» ful cures which have been made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound, yet some women do not realize that all that is claimed for it is abso­ lutely true. If all suffering women could be made to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do all she says she can, their suffering would be at an end, for they’ would at once profit by her advice and be cured. There is no more puzzling thing than that women will suffer great pain month after month when every woman knows of some woman whom Mrs. Pinkham ha.s helped, as the letters from grateful women are constantly being published at their own request. The same derangements which make Sainful or irregular periods with till backaches and headaches, and dragging-down sensations, presently develop into those serious inflamma­ tions of the feminine organs which completely wreck health. Mrs. Pinkham invites women to write freely and confidentially to her about their health and get the benefit of her great experience with the suf­ ferings of women. No living person can advise you so well. No remedy in the world has the magnificent record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound for absolute cures of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Three Letters from One Woman, Showing how She Sought Mrs. Pinkham’s Aid, and was cured of St, press ion of the Men­ ses and Inflammation of the Ovaries. “ B eak Mas. P inkham —I have been in bed a year. Doctors say I have female weakness. 1 have a bad dis­ charge and much soreness across my ovaries, bearing-down pains and have not menstruated for a year. Doctors say the menses will never appear again. Hope to hear from you.”—M rs . J. F. B rown , Holton, Kans., April 1, 1898. “D ear M rs .

I can walk a few steps, but could not before taking your Compound. I still have the discharge and am sore across the ovaries, but not so bad. Every one thinks I look better since taking Eour Vegetable Compound. ”—M rs . J. F. ¡«OWN, Holton, Kans., Aug. 13, 1898. “ D ear M rs . P inkham —I think it Is ■ay duty to let you know the good that Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound has done me.

Kilting Locusts by Inoculation, Dr. Alexander Edington, a distin­ guished graduate of Edinburgh univer­ sity, now director of the Bacteriological Institute at Grahamstowu, South Africa, has cultivated a fungus which, when administered iu it liquid form to locusts, produces a fatal disease, rapid­ ly destroying the pests in enormous swarms. Three great swarmsof locusts ravaging the fields were recently en- tirely destroyed iu this muuner within a week.

MSa KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN I A JÍOTED JUDGE SAVED BY PERUJÍA. Had Catarrh Nine Years—All Doctors Failed. HON. GEORGE KERSTEN, OF 0HI0AG0. Hon. George Kersten, a well-known Justice of the Peace, of Chicago says: “/ was afflicted with catarrh for nine years. My catarrh was located chiefly in my head. I tried many remedies without avail. I applied to several doctors, but they were not able to cure me. I learned of the remedy, Peruna, through the daily newspapers. After taking the remedy for lb weeks I was entirely cured. I consider my cure permanent, as it has been two and a half years since I was cured. ” All families should provide them­ selves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book entitled “Winter Catarrh.” This book consists of seven lectures on catarrh aud la grippe delivered at The Hartman Sanitarium. It contains the latest information on the triatment of catarrh diseases. Address Dr. Hart­ man, Columbus, Ohio. Any man who wishes perfect health must lie entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso­ lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims, l’eruua not only cures catarrh, but prevents it.
