Pinkham: I suffered for four years with what the doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaritis), which is a most distressing and painful ailment, affecting all the surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and compared that person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, •which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation.”— Miss Irens Hapgood, 1022 Sandwich St Windsor, Ont f roving genuineness cannot be produced. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from Inflammation of the womb, and many other causes.

LIBERAL, THOUGH A THIEF.

Fall of a Man Who Wu Employed ta Prevent Dishonesty in Others. Criminologists must find the fall of the Bostonian who robbed a surety company of which he was manager of SIOO,OOO a fascinating study in the metaphysics of larceny. Here was a man said to be of “exemplary habits and a most generous disposition,” who gave SSO a day to the poor, in many ways a model husband and father, and a devoted pillar of the church. Besides being surrounded by all the ordinary Influences which should have taught him that theft is a mistake as well as a crime, the surety company’s manager was engaged in a business which drove home to him with uncommon force Its daily illustration that the way of the transgressor Is hard. It was his business to give bonds, at a price, for men in posts of financial trust to insure their employers against loss by embezzlement. Frequently he was called upon to prosecute and punish defaulters. Yet all the while he was stealing from the church, stealing from the widow and orphan, stealing from the charitable society and presenting the paradox of stealing from a company whose business it is to insure against losses by theft. It may be that some day the scientists will demonstrate the theory that no horrible example and no fear of punishment can cheek the passion for embezzlement once it seizes on a victim. Perhaps the Rockefeller research bureau eventually will transfer the disease of larceny from the purview of the police to the domain of bacteriology and by Isolating the germ of embezzlement will hold the army of fallen bank cashiers up to public pity instead of reproach, just like victims of smallpox. Meanwhile, we suppose, the primitive and brutal method of attaching them to a chain with an iron ball on the end of it will continue to be practiced.—New York Press.

Flench the Spot.

2(125 Chestnut street, Erie, Pa., says: “For two years I had kidney trouble and there was such a severe pain through my loins and limbs that I could not stoop or straighten up without great pain, had difficulty in getting about and was unable to rest at night', arising in the morning tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were irregular and deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me for rheumatism, but failed to help me. I lost all confidence in medicine and began to feel as if life were not worth Jiving. Doan's Kidney Pills, irowever, relieved me so quickly and so thoroughly that I gladly made a statement to that effect for publication. This was in 1898, and during the six years which have elapsed I have never known Doan's Kidney Pills to fail. They cured my wife of a severe case of backache in the same thorough manner.’’ A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Blerbach will be mailed on application to any part of the Uuited States.

A Chapel in a Coal Mine.

One of the most remarkable places of worship in the world is the miners' chapel in Myndd Menigdd Colliery, Swansea, Wales, where for more than fifty years the workers have each morning assembled for worship. This sanctuary is situated close to the bottom of the shaft. The only light is that obtained from a solitary Davy safety lamp hung over the pulpit from the ceiling, and the oldest miner In the colliery is generally chosen to officiate. It is the custom in some other places for coal miners to gather together In meal times for prayer meetings and the like, but It Is said that this is the only instance where a spe* cial apartment is fitted out iu a coalmine as a chapel.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

'.. 7. j R. G. Dun & Co.’s IO YOrK. Weekly Review of Trade says: Little net change in trade conditions is noted for the past week. Storms mid floods did much damage to property and threatened agricultural prospects at the start, but subsequently the weather improved and the outlook brightened. Spring trade is expanding, although still backward to some extent, and new labor controversies have added to the number of unemployed, despite an amicable arrangement of the sheet and tin plate scale. Building operations would be vigorous if employers and wage earners could adjust differences. Inquiries for structural material are out of proportion to new permits, which probably is due to the fact that there is much resumption of postponed work. Railway earnings in three weeks of March are onlj- 1.4 per cent smaller than a j ear ago, and far in excess of any preceding year. Agricultural implement makers are busy, merchant pipe is in good demand, and 'machinery lines will be stimulated by the beginning of work on the Panama canal and other big undertakings about to be started. Minor metals advanced in response to London, the rise in tin being sufficient to check domestic consumption.

Quiet conditions continue in the hide market, except for some large sales by Chicago packers of native cowhides at firm prices, and all arrivals of foreign dry hides are promptly taken. New England manufacturers of footwear complain of the paucity of new business, but have orders sufficient to insure activity until the middle of next month. Failures this week numbered '220 in the United States, against 214 last year, and 12 in Canada, compared with 26 a year ago.

7F Business reached a more LfilCdOO. ■ even breadth, both in pro- — duction and distribution. Weather conditions underwent a satisfying change, inducing wider activity iu the manufacturing branches, and retail trade was placed upon the best basis in some time past. Sales in the latter were increased, the buying entering into quite n variety of needs, with the heaviest dealings appearing in wearing apparel, footwear, furniture and household necessities. - The fashionable Easter exhibits were well attended. Prices remain as costly as a year ago, yet the demand for seasonable wares has not been affected adversely. The jobbing departments have shown well maintained activity. Transactions made a good showing in millinery, and men’s furnishings. A satisfactory aggregate also obtained in boots and shoe, hats and caps, carpets and groceries. Requirements of country merchants were purchased very carefully, and no disposition to overstock was noted.

Shipments of general merchandise became heavy, and foodstuffs arrived in liberal quantities. Freight traffic has resumed normal volume, but complaints continue of difficulty in obtaining prompt railroad deliveries, due mainly to shortage of cars and motive power. Mercantile collections generally were fairly good.

Grain shipments, 2,670,900 bushels, are 18 per cent under the same week last year. Cash dealings, both in flour nnd grain, were on a limited scale, but prices, compared with last week’s closing, advanced—in wheat 2% cents and in corn 1% cents. Dealings in provisions reached a fair aggregate. Lard advanced cents and ribs 12% cents. Pork was freely offered, and declined 17% cents per barrel. Receipts of live stock, 296,178 head, were 31 per cent over the same week last year. Failures in Chicago district number 27, against 20 the previous week and 22 a year ago.

NO APPETITE-EMACJATED-NERVOUS. Many Women During the Spring Months Suffer From Extreme Lassitude, Loss of Appetite and Nervousness * What They Need Is Peruna, the Great Tonic

Miss Bertha M. Rush, 5485 Kincarde street. Pittsburg. Pa.. Superintendent Junior Society of Methodist Protestant Church and leading Soprano of the choir, writes: “Words cannot describe my thankfulness to you for Peruna. I was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was in a very much run-down condition. I was extremely nervous and had the most foolish fears over nothing. I was thin and emaciated. "My physician advised fine t<> leave this climate, but as it was not convenient to d<> so at this time. I took the advice of a friend to use a bottle of Peruna. I took it faitlijully and when the first bottle was gone I felt so much better that I bought six more and took-thern Yarthfuh--ly. after Which I looked like a new woman. , “I gained in flesh, my appetite returned and all my old Kyrnntoms had disappeared. I am more Than thankful to Peruna.” —Miss Bertha M. Rush. I AM TIRED. Everybody Is Tired Spring Weather Does it—Every'One Should Be Cautious. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the General lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feeling, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep. That tired feeling which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit. Mrs. 11. Kassatt, 1309 W 13th street, Des Moines, la., writes: “1 am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine, Peruna. as I consider it a valuable medicine to take when thy system is run ~dOTTn from overwork. About two years ago I felt that I must take a long rest as I had been unable to work for over a month, and could not regain my strength. I could not sleep at night nnd was in a very nervous, high strung, condition. I decided to try what Peruna would do to build up my strength, and am pleased to say that I began to improve very shortly, an:! in less than two months I was able to take up my work, and felt better than I have for years. 1 take it now twice a year and find that it keeps me in perfect health.”, Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the manager of a. plant furnishing ladies’ wear and employing hundreds of women. Tired, Nervous Women. There are thousands of them everywhere. A few bottles of Peruna would do them untold benefit. As a tonic and nerve invsgorntor it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, it gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and digestion. No feeble woman should be without I’eruua.

Squirting Music.

A. E. Wheeler of Geneva, N. Y., has recently invented a music squirting hose, which is capable of distributing music to any considerable distance. Already twenty families are being en- n tertafted by his nightly concerts a hundred miles away, and all at the same time, every note reaching the ear distinctly. There is about sixts ; feet of ordinary rubber tubing, one end being attached to the diaphragm of a phonograph machine and tlie other end to the transmitter of the telephone. Mr. Wheeler has succeeded in getting the sound into the transmitter of the telephone in such a way that the harsh effect on the other end of the wire is entirely eliminated.

Constipation Leads to Typhoid and Malaria.

Mull’s Grape Tonic Cures Constipation. FIRST FIFTY CENT BOTTLE FREE. v A constipated man is an easy victim for typhoid and malarial fevers. One whose bowels are open and free will not likely take either. The typhoid germs are harmless until they get into the alimentary canal. Then they do their dirt if allowed to remain. It wouldn't do to take n physic, for that would irritate the Intestines and make them all the more .fertile for the attack of the disease germs. But you must keep the bowels open, and nothing will do it like Mull's Grape Tonic. If is a tonic which heals the irritation, makes it almost impossible for the germs to get in their deadly work and so stimulates the organs of the digestive parts that they are enabled to voluntarily perform their functions. One dose will prove it, but to fully convince those who have not already taken the remedy, we will, upon receipt ot name and address, have a regular 50c bottle delivered to them absolutely free of cost. Take the bottle we give you and suit yourself about continuing the treatment. Send your address to the Lightning Medicine Co., No. 21 Third avenue, Rock Island, II)., to-day. This offer mny not be repeated. AH druggists sell Mull's Grape Tonic at 50c and SI.OO a bottle.
