IN GREAT DISTRESS

VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESISTED EVERY EEEOBT TO CHECK. Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She Thinks She Would Have Died But For Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Mra. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 45 Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the following account of aer cure from distressing spells of vomiting: "For five years off and on I was treated in vain by different doctors for relief from a stomach trouble which showed itself in frequent and trying spells of vomiting. Part of the time I was able to work and again I would be confined to bed for three or four days in succession. " My stomach was at times so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. The spells would sometimes occur at intervals of half an hour, and would leave me so weak that I would be compelled to lie down between them. I would have several of them during the night following a day of such attacks. Finally I became at’ Flora ’ 8i

day, attending the funeral of M Nowel’s brother Oliver 8. Bun whose death oocurad the Frid evening before. He was 76 yet I old a d had lived there nearly] i | his life. He was a man of proa □enoe and influence in his coi inunity, and in politics was t active Republican. His was tl third death in the family in mat less than a year, one son havii died only a week before, and ai Qther a few mor ths before. ""

Refused to Eat Eight Courses.

A story is told of a distinguished diplomat from Japan who was the guest of honor at a 'dinner in Washington. After the first two courses of oysters and soup, as the waiters were bringing In the fish, he exclaimed: “W'hat! Gan anyone possibly want more to eat?” During the remaining six courses he opened his mouth for the" exclusive purpose of conversation. When his abstemiousness was commented upon, he said: "I am satisfied. I feel bright and wide awake. If I were to eat as much as you do, I should fall asleep, and then I could not make my speech. Most of the men around this table are fat, because they eat too much. is a misfortune to be so fat I am stronger and heal'hler than any fat man.”

Brazil Has a Fine Tea.

United States Consul Ayme writes from Para a recommendation of a Brasilian beverage, yerba mate tea, which Is prepared from the roasted and pulverized leaves of an evergreen forest tree. Yerba mate is largely consumed in Paraguay and in the Brazilian States, where it is made. It is extensively consumed in Argentina, In Uruguay, and to a less extent in Chill. There is a small consumption in other States of Brazil, a small quantity IS exported to Europe and'still less to the United States and Canada. Estimated exports may reach 45,000- to 57,000 tons annually. Yerba mate has a peculiar bitter, smoky taste, which Is usually considered unpleasant, and this has largely operated to prevent its more extensive use as a beverage, This smoky bitterness is chiefly due to the rude method employed for drying tho leaves and It seems likely that the Improved methods of drying the mate on Iron or copper pans would give a much more delicate and agreeable product Mate Is said to have all of the best qualities of coffee and tea as a stimulating health beverage, without the disadvantage of either. It Is a more gentle stimulant than either and Is said to be much used In the hospitals of Paris. The tree could probably be grown In southern California, perhaps in southern Texas, certainly In many parts of the Philippines*.

Chlmmle Fadden (Edward W. Townsend), Mr. Dooley (Finley Peter Dunne), George Ade and Dlnkelsplel (George V. Hobart) were seated at a table in the Lambs’ Club one afternoon recently, when in walked Henry Dlxey, the comedian. He paused, threw up both hands, exclaiming: “The Lord preserve the English language,” and walked on, without a protest from the celebrated quartet, each of whom tried to look innocent” —New York Times.

Lesson for Women.

Jersey Shore, Pa., Sept. 26.—(Special.) —“Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me.” That’s what Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. “I was laid up sick,” Mrs. Earnest continues, “and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I have good reason to praise them everywhere.” Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is, “cure the kidneys with Dodd’s Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease.” Woman’s health depends almost entirely on her kidneys. Dodd’s Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys.

Managing the "Emancipated.”

Jimson —I went to Fashion Beach the other day to see the girl I was engaged to, and I found “her off spooning with another young man. Billson—-its your own fault. “Eh? How is it?” “You should have sent her word that you were coming.”

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There 1* only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rambling sound or Imperfect hearing. and when It Is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and tills tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) tliat cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Bend for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

In fact, unless prompt and correct treatmen* Is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. ( Being fully aware of this, Mra Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman’s ills— Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable-Coin pound—made sure that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that i dreaded disease, woman’s kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acta in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared, for women. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—For two years my life was simply * bur-’ den, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed, for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’* Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is. the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed woman. My pain had disappeared, my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape.”—Mbs. Paula Weisslitz, 176 Seneca St, Buffalo, N. Y. Proof that Kidney Trouble can be Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Conpnl “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —I feel very thankful to you for the good your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors tola me I had Bright’s disease: also had falling of the womb, and could not walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something. “ I doctored with several good doctors, but they did not help me any. I took, in alt twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, five boxes of Liver Pilis, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my own work, and can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctor* tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well, and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine.” —Mrs. Opal Stbono, Dalton, Mass.
