PERIODS OF PAIN.

Menstruation, the balance wheel of woman’s life, is also the bane of exist* tnce to many because it means a tune of great suffering. While no woman is entirely free from periodical pain, it does not seem to havo been nature’s plan EF/ thatwomen otherwise healthy should suffer 'ScxSsßf so severely. Lydia E. Pink- 'iSy ham’s Vegetable Compound is ratqF the most thorough I male regula- I l/n V*' *‘-41 / tor known to | \ medical science. It relieves the condition that produces so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Here is proof: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—How can 1 thank you enough for what you have done for me ? When I wrote to you I was suffering untold pain at time of menstruation; was nervous, had headache all the time, no appetite, that tired feeling, and did not care for anything. I have taken three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, one of Blood Purifier, two boxes of Liver Pills, and to-day lam a well person. I would like to have those who suffer know that I am one of the many who have been cured of female complaints by your wonderful medicine and advice. —Miss Jennie R. Miles. Leon, Wis. If you are suffering in this way, write as Miss Miles did to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for the advice which she offers free of charge to all women.

No theatrical production made in many years bus attracted so much attention as Jacob Litt's presentation of the great English melodrama, “Sporting Life.” The play is acknowledged to be the best of the many of its character sent here from across the water, and never in the histbry of the American stage has a play been staged on so magnificent a scale. Like all melodramas, “Sporting Life” shows a wide diversity of scene of action and in this case sixteen huge sets of scenery are used during the course of the play. The cast includes forty-five speaking parts and there are over 200 auxiliaries used to complete the stage pictures which have been pronounced unsurpassed in beauty. The company includes many of the most noted players on the American stage. This great production has been running all winter at the Academy of Muric in New York, filling it at every performance, notwithstanding the fact that, barring the Auditorium in Chicago, it is the largest theater in the country. -Early in February this immense production will be brought intact to McVicker’s Theater in Chicago with all its great scenery, cast, accessories of production, which include a stable of thoroughbred race horses. The story of “Sporting Life” is one which will interest every true American. Here, as in England, the love of true sport is strong in every heart. The play deals with the sports of the English-speaking race in a most delightful manner, almost every known form of sport being shown during the play. A stirring story of love and adventure runs through it, enlivened by incidents both picturesque and thrilling. The run of this play at McVicker's Theater promises to be one of the sensations theatrically of the year.
