|c/- I Fibroid Tumors Cured. " A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help: “Deab Mrs. Pinkham:—l have been under Boston doctors’ treatment for a long time without any relief. Ihey tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.”—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—although she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine—which she knew would help her her letter contained a mass of additional instructions as to treatment, all of .which helped to bring about the happy result “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. “ The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. ** Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.” —(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and di a. placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of tne testimonial letters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. .'Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don’t forget this when some druggist wants to sell you something else.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Aside from the interruption to retail trade in winter goods at many points

Hit Yurt.

by unseasonable weather, business activity continues in excess of previous years, and it is probable that all the postponed trade will be made up, now that low temperature has become general. While the warmest November on recprd at the East affected sale of clothing, it helped to restore the fuel equilibrium. Manufacturing plants are well engaged, and an evidence of''the successful season is found in much larger Fall River dividends. The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continue?: The course of commodity prices is shown by Dun’s index number, which was $100,449 on Dec. 1, against $99.75 on Nov. 1 and $101,378 on Dec. 1, 1901. Higher prices for dairy and garden products account for the rise during November, but it is particularly gratifying to the consumer that the present level is nearly I per cent lower than at the corresponding date last year. This change is also in food stuffs, where the cost of living was abnormally expanded by short crops in 1901. Irregularity is reported in the iron and steel market, most departments having much business, while a few are seeking new orders and seem disposed to make slight concessions. Stability is naturally most conspicuous in those divisions where in cases of extreme pressure and. high premiums for early delivery the imports that have been attracted hither have a demoralizing influence. In view of the scarcity of coke it is not easy for domestic producers to meet this foreign competition, and when any material reduction is made it may be found that foreign concerns also will cut prices. Thus far, however, only a slight tendency is noted in the direction of cheaper iron, and in such products as steel rails and structural material the consumer cannot hope for early concessions. As it is w*ell known that much business is held back by high prices, there is no prospect of dullness in the near future. Any decided reduction of quotations would bring out these postponed orders. Consequently the only disturbing feature in this industry continues to be the inadequate supply of fuel, and even the most sanguine do not anticipate a return of normal conditions before spring.

The touch of winter over the Northwest last week was a wonderful stimulus

Chicago.

to trade. As a change from the wet and gloomy weather of the preceding week it was very welcome, and the effect was seen in a general livening up in business, especially noticeable in those retail trade lines where demand had been slow and business dragging. Complaints of the slow movement of winter goods, of dullness and a lack of inclination to buy, on the part of the public were more or less general. It needed only the first real sign of winter to effect aV:hange. Merchants report sales in the past few days of large volume, and the immediate outlook for good trade very encouraging. The holiday trade last year was the largest the country had ever known, but there is reason to believe a new record will be made, for the same conditions that made the people liberal buyers at that time are ruling to-day. It is not only that the people have money, but they are filled with the spirit of prosperity that pervades thd'entire land, and at holiday time are willing to spend more liberally. During the week the Minneapolis elevators took into store 1,803,951 bushels of grain, the largest increase- of any week this season, which brings the total stock there up to 9,528,940. This gain in wheat stocks is nothing in itself and not more than Minneapolis should gain in any week at this time, while the present stocks are light and well under the av erage at this time. The rush of wheat to the bend of the lakes has now ceased and receipts at Minneapolis should show a Still further increase.

An Inopportune Serpent.

Frank Saunders, a Whittier mas, stood still In the face of impending death from the caving-ln of a bank, unable to move oh. account of the spell which a huge rattlesnake had thrown around him, and he is now under the care of a physician at Anaheim, having been perhaps fatally injured by falling earth. The accident happened in Santiago Canyon, where Saunders and S. J. Adams, also of Whittier, had gone to inspect an outcropping of coal. As they were uncovering a ledge the earth above them began to split, and an immense cave-in was impending. Adams called to Saunders to leap, and himself quickly scrambled down the mountain. He supposed Saunders was following, but on looking back saw him gazing intently at the everwidening crevice above. Adams was quick to detect the object of his companion’s gaze—a big rattler—which held its head steadily directed toward Saunders. The next moment several tons of earth fell, burying the hypnotized man from sight. When Saunders was exhumed he was found to be badly injured. He stated that he was all the time aware of his danger, but could not free his gaze from that of the snake and was powerless to move while the spell lasted. Adams killed the reptile after he had dug Saunders from under the fallen earth. —San Bernardino Letter to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Fifty Dollars to Sit Down.

Carmel, Ind., Dec. 15. —Mr. Joseph L. Duffey relates an experience that has aroused considerable interest In this locality. if is beet given in his own words: “When I was working in the fields,” says Mr. Duffey, “I would be ready to quit, but I could not get to the house I was so weak. It was worth fifty dollars to get to sit down. “I had no strength and a person without strength Is not much use. “But bless the Lord I took four boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they gave me health, strength and appetite. “I might say I am cured, but I will keep on taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Yes, I’ll get them if It takes the last thing on the farm.’’ Dodd’s Kidney Pills have effected quite a number of other cures hes? and it seems safe to say they are an effective and permanent cure for all diseases arising from the Kidneys.

When a. laxative is needed the remedy which is •" F's given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs ’c\ /f/ on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its /• ><//■ / Zr component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from / //* every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, Isl well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, Ui because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should 5 be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the B‘ r ' system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results - from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern Imitations, and against T” which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to mar.hood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs.
