OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY c=s ■ tt She Wee Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped It. . When a physician tells a woman suffering with serions feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and bur hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. J JWiftAfargret Aferktfeij ( There are cases where ah operation Is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing feuyile troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to One without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: “Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, ■hooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cfamps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said 1 had a female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this 1 strongly objected and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well.” Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or toafrequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don’t neglect yourself: try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 51 BABY AFTER FIRST V \ |pl! * BATH \ y Wt WITH Y'W/7 mm ybMJ, soaMilpSdjr ' \ | og|pl lbs,” PhysiciansTPharmacists.and Nurses endorse Cuticura Soap because of its delicate, medicinal, emollient, sanative, and antiseptic properties derived from Cuticura, the great Skin Cure, united with the purest of deansing ingredients and most refreshing of flower odors.

FREAK KANSAS WATER WELL.

The Location, on Top of n Hill, Woo Accidental. One of the biggest water wells ever drilled in this part of the country is in the vicipity of the smelter here, says the Kansas City Star’s correspondent at Cherryvale, Kan. The location of it was purely an accident The smelter people were looking for a supply of water for the horses, and decided that it would be better to go to the top of a hill and run a gravity line down to the works than to drill pn the flat and install pumps. The drill had not been working more than three hours when the water came with a great rush and A six-inch pipe was put In and this Is barely sufficient to contain the volume. The pressure is so great that the tank over the fire-engine house Is filled without pumping, and then the well is not working more than one-fourth of the time. If iit were to work all the time it would not only supply all of the departments of the smelter, but the entire town of Cherryvale in addition.

The capacity of the well is a matter of guess, because It has never been allowed to run all day, but it is said to be at least 4,000,000 gallons a day. The drilling of the well has been the talk of the farmers around in the neighborhood and more wells will be drilled in the hope of finding the same vein. The big well is another of the freaks which have been the bane of geologists since the discovery of oil and gas in this part of the State. If there was any other range of hills around here, the presence of the water so near the surface of the ground on top of the hill to the northwest might be explained, but how it happens that the water is within twelve feet of the highest hill in the whole country and with no other hill at fell within reach, is something the people, who think they know something of geology, have been unable to explain.-

In Confidence.

"I knew,” he declared, “that we were meant for each other from the very moment I first' saw you.” “I knew it,” she replied, “long before that.” . - I' - __ : “Yes. I may tell you now in confidence, since we’re engaged and it’s all settled, that mamma had been mapping out our accidental meeting for three months.”—Judge.

Rogers Wins the Grand American Handicap.

BAD COMPLEXIONS

Depraved Blood Causes Pimples and Belle—Dr. Williams* Pink Pills Make New Blood and Cura Follows. “ I abused my stomach, my blood got Out of order and then my face broke out with pimples ajid Uoils,” says T. E. Robertson, of 197 Addison street, Washington, Pa. “This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad Bhape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or I would suffer the most Bevere pains in my stomach., Ou arising I would often be so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. The slightest exertion would start my back aching so that I often had to sit down and rest awhile. At times I experienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which I suppose came from my stomach trouble. “I began to break out ou the face with pimples and later with boils which confined me to the house a week or more at a time. One day I saw Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People ndvevtised in a pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but lam now glad to say that my blood is good. I do not have any eruptions and I no -longer have the head and stomach .troubles I have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams’Pink Pills have done for me and I have recommended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them.” If you want good health you must have good blood. Bad blood is the root of most common diseases like anaemia, rheumatism, sciatica, nOnralgia, St. Vitus’ dance, nervousness, indigestion, debility, partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.

Defines the Court’s Duty.

A. G. Jewett, lawyer, politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying a ease in the supreme court in Belfast, Me., his home city. The judge presiding, before being called to the bench, had tried many cases against Jewett, wfio <TitT not entertain a very high opinion of his ability. In his dosing argument, Jewett, In defiance of the rules of the court, started in to read some law to the jury. The court pouinled on the bench and said: “Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument.” Jewett kept on reading, without so much as a glance at the court. The court in thunderous tones ordered him to stop. Jewett, who had by this time read all lie intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said : “Did your honor address me?” “i said,” roared the judge, “you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument. I will give the law to the jury. What do you suppose the court is here for?” * * “What is the court here for?” responded Jewett in high falsetto. “I suppose you know, sir, to keep order with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all due respect to the sheriff, sir.” —Boston Herald.

She Didn’t Sleep Well.

A woman -who lives in an inland town, while going to a convention in a distant city, spent one night of the journey on board a steamboat. It was the first time she hail ever traveled by water. She reached her journey’s end extremely fatigued. To a friends who remarked it she replied : “Yes, I'm tired to death. I don’t know that I care to travel by water again. I read the card in my stateroom abotu how to put the life preserver on, and I thought I understood it, but 1 guess I didn’t. Somehow I couldn’t go to sleep with the thing on.” Ladies’ Home Journal.

OUTDOOR LIFE

Will Not Offset the 11l Effects ot Coffee When One Csnnvt Divest It A farmer says: “It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble; they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I bad to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread, and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. “I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but If I got any better It only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. , .»■' ~'V.' “One day I read an ad. for Tostum and told my wife I would try It, and as to the following fucts I will make affidavit before any judge: “I quit coffee entirely and used Poatum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased In weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medlcino for my stomach alnce 1 bsgan using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. “My family would stick to coffee at first, but they aaw the effect! It had dn me, aad when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, ’Mich. Ten days’ trial of Postum in place of coffee provea the truth, an easy and pleasant way. ’There’a a reason.” Look in pkgs. for a copy of the famous little book, “Tbs Koao to WsliTlll*"

FOUR YEARS OF AGONY.

Whole Foot Nothing but Proud Flesh —Had to Use Crutches—“Cuticura Remedies the Best on Earth.” “In the year,lß99 the side of my right Toot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physician who had charge of me was trying to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success. At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered untold agoples for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of Ointments. I could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw a change in my limb. Then I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during the day and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up Just the same as if I never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on God’s earth. I am working at the present day, after five years of suffering. The" cost of Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $6; but the doctors’ bills were tnortr like SOOO. John M. Lloyd, 718-S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio, June 27, 1905.”

Dealing with Deadheads.

Willie Collier, the actor, was asked if he was much annoyed by requests from deadheads. “I receive them in shoals,’’ lie repliod; “but generally manage to put them off politely, but firmly. The Other day, for instance, I revived a Letter from a man, who wrote that he had had the pleasure of meeting me in California sometime ago. I find never even heard the man’s name before. However, lile added kindly that lie was much pleased with my play, and maybe I could send him two seats for the next matinee.”

“Did you answer the letter?” “Oh, yes! I sent him a postal-card saying maybe I couldn’t.”
