Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I heartily recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as a Uterine Tonic and Regulator. I suffered fcr four years with, irregularities and. Uterine troubles.

What a blessing it is to be able to obtain such a remedy when so many doctors fail to help you. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound better than any doctor or medicine I ever had. Very truly yours, Mies ' Easy Whittaker, 604 39th St, W. Savannah, Ga.” above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.

New York’s Classic Cities.

New York State Is full of cities and towns of classic nomenclature. There must hfive been a wave of GraecoRoman lore when the christening of municipalities took place, with a byproduct of Asianism as a seasoning. There are such names as Rome, Troy, Athens, Cairo, ' Syracuse, Ithaca, Sparta, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Tyre, Memphis, Venice, Florence, Corinth, Parma, Milan, Naples, Hector, Ovid, Delhi, Delphi, Diana, Paris, Pompey, Ilion, Palmyra, Palermo, Marathon, Mycenae, Napoli, Nineveh, Babylon, Romulus, Siloam, Smyrna, Utica, Virgil, Homer, Cicero, Ceres, etc.

The Reason Why.

Drummond, Wis., Sept. 19.—(Special.) —Whole families in Bayfield County are singing the praises of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and the reason why Is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here. “I had such pains In my back that I did not know what to do,” says Mr. Wold, “and as I came across an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I sent for a box. That one box relieved me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them just what she needed. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Dills as a sure cure for Backache and other Kidney Troubles.” Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it promptly and permanently and prevent it developing into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease.

THE WEEKLY HISTORIAN

One Hundred Years Ago. A complete change took place in the government of the Batavian republic. The cotton crop of Georgia was ruined by caterpillars.

The Governor of New Brunswick was forced to order out the troop# to quell a riot among oyster strikers at Amboy. —~:' • - . » Seventy-five Years Ago.

The anniversary of Perry’s victory on Lake Erie was celebrated by a public ball and parade at Newport, R. I. The peace of Adrianople was declared. Turkey agreed to recognize the independence of Greece and relinquish to Russia the northeast coast land of the Black Sea. . fifty Years Ago. The People’s Provident Assurance Society of England was established. The allied French and English forces were suffering much from disease and insufficient accommodations. “Sevastopol,” Count Tolstoi’s first book, was issued. Fifteen hundred deaths occurred of cholera in London. Commodore Perry sailed from Hongkong for the United States. English and French forces were landed in the Crimea.

forty Years Ago. In accepting the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States General George B. McClellan said anent the “peace platform” of the party tlrat “the re-establishment of the union In all its integrity was an indispensable factor of settlement.” General Sherman ordered all civilians to leave Atlanta and offered them transportation. General Grant, from Virginia, and General Sherman, from Atlanta, wrote open letters urging the* North to fill the quota of volunteers called for. Secretary Stanton announced that a draft would be put Into effect in all States and districts in which the quota had not been filled.

thirty Years Ago. Colorado for the first time went Democratic, the territory sending a delegate of that party to Congress. A call was Issued for a convention of the Republicans of the reconstructed States to be held at Chattanooga, Tenn. Twenty persons were killed and fifty injured In a wreck on the Great Eastern Railway, near Norwich, England. Twenty persons were killed and half a hundred wounded In a tight between the New Orleans police and a mob that was clamoring for the abdication of Governor Kellogg. Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot, eminent French statesman and writer, died in Paris. Seventy-four cotton mills in England were closed by a strike of 13,000 employes. twenty Years Ago.

The Discovery of the Potato.

Sir Walter Raleigh is commonly credited with having introduced the potato to civilization, but It Is certain that one Hawkins, a slave trader, and Sir Francis Drake were both ahead of him in taking it to England. To Raleigh, however, rightfully belongs the •credit for having brought potatoes to the attention of Queen Elizabeth in 1568. Their merit was long in being recognized. “The complete gardener," an English book published in 1719, made no mention at all of them. The name came from the Haytian batata, or Mexican patate. It Is called “Irish potato” because the Irish were the first Europeans to generally cultivate It It Is now, however, one of the chief crops of France and Germany. It was a native of the mountainous districts from Chile to Mexico. It is of the nightshade family, which Includes also tobacco, belladonna, tomato, egg plant and pepper.

Fruit in California.

Old Mrs. Donnelly was convalescing from a severe attack of illness, and warm-hearted Mrs. Williams had presented the invalid with an attractive basket of fruit. The old woman, who was unaccustomed to many of the luxuries of life, was frankly puzzled by two large, round, lemon-colored objects in the center of the basket. “What might t!him be?” she asked, touching one of them cautiously. “Grape-fruit,” returned Mrs. Williams. “They were sent to me from California where Mr. Williams has an orange grove.” “Sure, I’ve heard that they grow fine fruit in Callforny,” said Mrs. Donnelly, approvingly. “Lookin’ at thim there, ma’am, I ean well believe it; but sure, darllnt, if the grapes are the size of that, where in the wurld do they find room to grow any pumpkins?”

A Hopeless Case.

“Has George ever hinted that he has thought of you as a possible wife?” asked the anxious mother. “No,” replied the fair girl, with a faraway look in her eyes, “and I’m afraid he never will.” “Why,” said the mother, “I thought “Never mind what you thought, mamma, dear,” interrupted the daughter. “Only last night he complained of feeling weary, and it wasn’t 9 o’clock.”

Heredity.

Binks—Speaking of heredity, do you remember Forrester, who bought some wild land and turned It into a farm? Winks—Yes; he was the Inventor of a very effective stump puller. Binks—Just so. Well, his son Is a very successful dentist.

CHANGE FOOD

Some Very Fine Hessite Follow. The wrong kind of food will put the body in such a diseased condition that no medicines will cure it There Is no way but to change food. A man in Missouri says: ‘‘For two years I was troubled so with my nerves that sometimes I was prostrated and could hardly ever get In a full month at my work. ‘‘My stomach, back and head would throb so I could get no rest at night except by fits and starts, and always had distressing pains. “I was quite certain the trouble came from my stomach, but two physicians could not help me and ail the tonics failed, and so finally I turned to food. "When I had studied up on food and learned what might be expected from leaving off meat and the regular food I had been living on, I felt that a change to Grape-Nuts would be just what was required, so I went to eating it. "From the start I got stronger and better until I was well again, and from that time I haven’t used a bit of medicine for I haven’t needed any. "I am so rnjich better in every way, Bleep soundly nowadays, and am free from the bad dreams. Indeed this food has made such a great change in me that my wife and daughter have taken It up and we are never without Grape-Nuts on our table nowadays. It Is a wonderful sustalner, and we frequently bnve nothing else at all but a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast or supper." Name given by PcsUim Co.. Battle Creek. Mich. Good food and good rest. These are the tonics that succeed where all the bottled tonics nnd drugs fail. Ten days’ trial of Grape-Nuts will show one the road to health, strength and vigor. “There's a reason.” Ixx>k in each pkg. for the famous little book. "The Road to Wellvllle.”
