Mrs. Haskell, Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order Good Templars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her cure by the use of Lydia E. Pinfcham's Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mbs. Ptnkham : Pour years ago I was nearly dead with inflammation and ulceration. I endured daily untold agony, and life was a burden to me. I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until I made up my mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of a friend, X,noticed a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. My friend endorsed it highly and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience and perseverence for I was in bad condition, and I used Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound for nearly five months before I was cured, but what a change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not change back for a thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is • grand medicine. “I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced.” Mrs. Ida Haskell, Silver Lake, Mass. Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order of Good Templars. When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, “ I do not believe it would help me ” ? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and pick and discouraged, exhausted with each day’s work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. firs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., says: §“ Dear Mrs. Pixkham : I might have been spared many months of suffering and pain if I had known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a few months sooner, for I tried many remedies without finding anything which helped me before I tried the Vegetable Compound. I dreaded the approach of the menstrual period every month, as it meant mucli suffering and pain. Some months the flow was very scanty and others it was profuse, but after I had used the Compound for two months I became regular and natural, and so I continued until I felt perfectly well, and the parts were strengthened to perform the work without assistance and pain. 1 am like a different woman now, where before I did not care to live, and I am pleased to testify as to the good your Vegetable Compound has done for me. ” Sincerely yours, Mrs. Tillie Hart, Lari more, N.D. Be it, therefore, believed by all women who are ill that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Coinpouud is the medicine they" should take. It lias stood the test of time, and it has hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit. Women should consider it unwise to use any.other medicine. Mrs. Pinkham, whose address is Lynn, Mass, will answer cheerfully and without cost all letters addressed to her by sick w omen. Perhaps she has just the knowledge that will help your case try her to-day it costs nothing.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

1 Feb. 12 R. G. Dun & NGW YOrK. Co.’s weekly review of ——- trade says: War, fire and cotton were the adverse factors of the week, yet the country Blood the shocks remarkably well, and there are numerous encouraging symptoms. To a large degree the outbreak of hostilities in the Orient and the collapse of the cotton boom had been discounted, and the disastrous loss of the conflagration was offset very largely by the stimulus it will give to many industries, notably structural steel. Iu restoring Baltimore there will be great activity in the building trades, while large stocks of goods must be replaced and orders filled by jobbers and manufacturers elsewhere. Buyers are arriving in this city in large numbers froth all sections of the country, uirtl there is a good demand for all ' leading staple linos with notable urgency for prompt shipment of cotton goods. The labor situation throughout the country is almost devoid of friction. More or less traffic congestion from the weather, and this factor accounts for the small loss of 1.7 per cent iu railway earnings during January. _, Actual- business is still restricted in the iron and steel industry, but there is more confidence in the future, aud the extensive starting of plants by the leading producers suggests that foreign markets will he entered more aggressively than ever before. Structural steel prospects have greatly improved because of the Baltimore fire, as it is certain that an enormous tonnage will be required to restore the ruined buildings. As to pig iron, no improvement is seen. Minor metals have developed irregularly, but hard coal is in good demand. New England shoeshops are still fully occupied on spring lines and fall samples. Trade in rubber goods is less active. It is not surprising that irregularity appears in the cotton goods market, iu view of the violent decline of the raw material. Forward business is completely demoralized, buyers naturally hesitating to place orders on a market that varies $5 a bale in a single day.

—p, , 1 The movement or general (jlljCdQQ. I merchandise was less imI peded by the severe weather, and, although congestion may not entirely disappear soon, conditions are improving. Railroad managers have found offerings in larger volume for the interioi and a wider forwarding of farm products, necessitating active measures to remove impediments to traffic. The consumption of necessities proceeded without diminution, and retail trade remained strong in wearing apparel und‘household needs. Road' salesmen turned iu liberal orders in the staple lines, and with larger numbers of visiting buyers in the market the jobbing trade advanced satisfactorily. dealings being mainly in the textile fabrics, footwear and clothing. Higher cost of cotton goods Induced freer buying in these lines, and better—imying of stocks anticipates a probable ndvance in prices owing to the war in the East. The distribution of wares bids fair to compare favorably with that Of a year ago, Western r> -iuirements being greater on the increased population and the prosperous state of the agricultural interests throughout the West. Mercantile collections generally occasion little complaint. Developments multiply in favor of an early revival in various manufactures and in new construction involving the use of much raw materials. Grain shipments, 2, 4(52,148 bushels, include 1,138,407 bushels of corn, and are 37 per cent over the volume of a year ago. Cash dealings in foodstuffs increased with the outbreak of hostilities in the far East, the largest -sales occurring in corn, pork and ribs. The May wheat option rose to 97 cents, and closed fairly strong at 1% cents lower. . Receipts, compared with those of a year ago, increased as follows: Corn, 4 per cent; butter, 11; sheep, 15; barley, 20; rye. 29; cheese, 34; flour, 70; lard, 180, and wool. 300.

Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir: —“Theyoung girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngitis, and loss of voice . The result of tbe treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after farther use of tbe medicine We hope to be able to say she is entirely cured. ” Sisters of Charity. This young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat, with good results, as the above letter testifies. From a Catholic Institution in Central Ohio comes the following recommend from the Sister Superior: “Some years ago a friend of our institution recommended to us Dr. Hartman's Peruna as an excellent remedy for the influenza of which we then had several cases which threatened to bo of a serious (fharncter. - . ~ “W e began to use "ft and experienced such wonderful results that since -then

In a Prairie Land.

(Editorial correspondence.) „ Moose Jaw, Assinibola. (Farmers’ Review, Chicago, July 22, 1903.) Most of the prairies in the United States have ceased to exist. Man has broken them up with ,orchards, forests and farm buildings. But in Western Canada the prairies still stretch grandly from horizon to horizon as yet unmafred by the hand of man, save where the Iron road has beon laid. To a city man there is something deliciously restful about the vast grassy solitudes. Numerous clumps of trees mark the course of the Assiniboine River, which keeps in sight of the railroad for som? distance. < “Grass Is one of the niotable things about all the landscape of Western Canada. It is a remarkable fact that the entire length of the Canadian Pacific Railway from Its eastern terminus to the Rocky Mountains is over plains where grass grows. The sage brush appears at some points, but never to the exclusion of grass. There is thus not a mile of this country that cannot he used for some agricultural purpose—either for tilling or ranching. “Moose Jaw is a town of over 2,000 inhabitants and one of the most important places In Asslnlhoia, being the center of a very good farming country and a great grain and stock shipping point. “Near Moose Jaw agriculture and ranching go hand in hqnd; for near the town was seen a herd of beef cattle several hundred In number. Or another side was seen a good sized herd of dairy cows, the property of the citizens in the town. “In riding over the prairies we saw many good fields of alfalfa. The great need of the country Is timber, which grows readily where planted, ns was demonstrated by the shelter belts on some of the farms and the trees on tiie residence lots in the town. “Stories were told the writer of men who last year cleared from their wheat crop more than the land on which It was grown originally cost them. This Is easy to believe in view of the large crop and tyigh price for wheat last year.”—Henry F. Thurston. By sending your address to any agent of the Canadian Government you will have mailed to you a copy of nn Atlas, railway rates, etc., giving fullest information regarding Western Canada.

Peruna has become our favorite medicine for influenza, catarrh, cold, cough and bronchitis.” Another recommend from a Catholic institution of one of the Central States written by the Sister Superior reads as follows: “A number of years ago our attention was called to Dr. Hartman's Peruna, and since then we have used it with wonderful results for grip, coughs, colds and catarrhal diseases of the head and stomach. “For grip and winter catarrh especially it lias been of great service to the Inmates oY'this institution.” SISTERS OF CHARITY AU Over the United States Use Pe-ru-na for Catarrh. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows: A Prominent Mother Superior Says: “I can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best
