Quaker Testimony.

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, a Quaker lady, of Philadelphia, has done a great deal to make known to ladies there the great value of Mrs. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as a curs for their troubles and diseases. She writes as follows: “A young lady of this city, while bathing tome years ago, was thrown violently against the life line, and the injuries received resulted in an ovarian tumor which grew and enlarged until death seemed certain. Her physician finally advised her to try Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound. She did so, and in a short time the tumor was dissolved or caused to slough off, and she is now in perfect health. 1 also know of many cases where the medicine has been of great value in preventing miscarriage and alleviating the pa ns and dangers of childbirth. Philadelphia ladles appreciate the worth of this medicine and its great value.” A guest at a fashionable reception narrates that he overheard a sixteen-year-old dandy say to a still younger belle: “I am glad that my family got out of trade fifty years ago. My father was never in business, but devoted himself to science as a hobby. He made several discoveries, you know, that have got a permanent place in the books.” Then he looked into the girl’s face for admiring wonder, but saw only gentle commiseration. “So your poor papa had employment?” she said; and then, with a gleam of proud disdain, she added: “My father never, never did anything at all.”
