WOMEN WANT TO KNOW. TO WHOM CAN THEY TELL THEIR TROUBLES? ( A Woman Answers "To Me" —Anxious Inquirers Intelligently Answered— Thou■anils of Grateful Letters. Women regard it as a blessing that they can* talk to a woman who fully Understands their every ailment, and thus avoid the examina/Tv - tions, experiV men t s aR d the- ~ J ^7 -J] ories of incompetent physiA K' cians, whose sex deprives them //°f knowing by ■ m 2 experience. The end " L / ^ eSS C° D d" ‘ J denceplaced "7-tA\ * n Mrs, —•-y i Tinkham by American ’ women, ^^^prompts them to seek ” her advice constantly. Female diseases yield

to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once. Inflammation, ulceration, falling and displacement of the

womb, ovarian troubles, spinal weakness and kidney complaints, all have their symptoms, and should be “ nipped In the bud.” Bearing-down pains, backache, headache, nervousness, pains in groins, lassitude, whites, irregularities, dread of impending evil, blues, sleeplessness, faintness, etc. Here is testimony right to the point: “ The doctors told me that unless I went to the hospital and had an operation performed, I could not live. I had falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb. “I was in constant misery all the time; my back ached; I -—-s. was always tired. It was impossible for me to walk jT! > far or stand long j V 1 at a time. I was yt A surely a AJjEfL * wreck. I decided £ that I x&BW) would give your Com- -r—t-.-pound and fianativeWash^p a trial. “ I took three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and used two packages of Sanative Wash, and I am now almost well. I am stouter and healthier than I have ever been in my life. My friends and neighbors and the doctors are surprised at my rapid improvement. I have told them all what I have been taking.” —Mrs. Annetta Bickmeier, Bellaire, Belmont Co., O. fwH El -? U Ei 1- 'YJ w XGhMatßy Gladness Comes With a better understanding of tha transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts —gentle efforts—pleasant efforts — rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of •ickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply,to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. ’ If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies arc not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

BRYAN IS NOTIFIED. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE ACCEPTS. Immense Gathering in Madison Square Garden—Candidate talks for Two Hours—Makes the Effort of Hie Ufe-Sewall Is Likewise Informed. Democratic Candidates Accept. William Jennings Bryan formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at Madison Square Garden, In New York, Wednesday night. Air. Bry-

! nn’s run across country had played hayoo ’ with his voice. He had gone to bed the night previous with a well-developed at, tack of laryngitis and had been confined to his room under the doctor s care all of Wednesday. It was at first feared i that he would not be able to speak at all. Mr. Bryan, for the most part, made ; no effort to deal in oratory, but confined 1 himself to the reading of a carefully prepared address, from whose text he did not vary, as from his manuscript he only 7 now and then lifted his eyes. It was a scene to inspire an orator. Madison Square Garden is a beautiful auditorium with its shallow galleries, its great tiers of boxes at the rounded ends : of the hall, its low roof studded with > electric lights. Eighteen thousand people had assembled in the big place at 8 i (•'clock. Every one of the 5.500 seats was I occupied, and 10.000 persons stood in the epeu spaces nt the ends of the hall. These people had assembled with a huge Rock of good nature, and perhaps one in five of them came with genuine enthusiasm in his heart. All were there to greet . tne upon whom the mantle of fame had | dramatically fallen. The big hall filled early, not without! much confusion nt the entrances. M hen . the crowd saw “Silver Dick' 1 Bland it sot up a shout, which was as nothing to the i i Bi • : ? - nn>bi>N « s t \RR ntrnrx. cheers which greeted Mr».

He •poke for twenty five minutes and at the ’ conclusion turned and placed in Mr. Bry- . r.n’s Lands a big r il of par, luucnt, on which had been engrossed the । ;l l notification of the Chicago nomination. Mr. Bryan bew.fl and smLc<l. wh.ie the audience rose to its feet and cheered. The band played, and an enthusiast excitedly ■ \vaved an American flag over Mr. Bry- > nn’s head Chairman Danforth’s Introduction of Mr. B:; - I demonstration, which continued persistently for several minutes. Bryan himself waved his hand depreeatingly, but tho enthusiastic ones went on with their shouting. Chairman Danforth rapped with his gavel, but in reply a man in one of the boxes waved a chair out over tho heads of tho people below and called for three cheers for Bryan. Chairman Jones appealed f r order, ami another Tammanyite distinguished himself by calling for three cheers and a tiger. Finally those who wanted to hear what Mr. Bryan had to say hissed the ones who wanted to bear the sound of their own voices, and then order was restored. Mr. Bryan began reading his manuscript. It was painfully evident, however, that the candidate was not himself. Mr. Bryan spoke for one Lour and fifty minutes, and the hands of the clock pointed to 10:35 when he finished tho peroration addressed to the citizens of New York. Tho terrific heat had made the upper galleries almost unendurable, nnfl before Mr. Bryan had finished n ma,l'irity of their o-upants had defiled through tho doors. t’andidate Sewall

was very heartily cheered when he stepped forward after he. with “Silver Dick” Bland mid other leaders on the stage, had grasped Mr. Bryan’s hand in congratulation. Mr. Sewall wore a black' frdek coat buttoned tightly about his breast. He was handed the formal notification of his nomination by Senator Jones. Mr. Sewall makes no pretensions to oratorical ability, and. although his voice might fill tin ordinary hall, it was hardly equal to Madison Square (lardon, with hundreds tramping about the floor. llis words were lew, and at 10:51 Chairman Danforth declared the meeting adjourned.
