DEAR MRS. PIXKHAM: I cannot begin to tell you what your remedies have done forme. I suffered for years with falling" and neural&ia of the womb, kidney trouble and Jeucorrhoca in its worst form. There were times that I could not stund, was sick all over and in despair. I had not known a real well day for 15 years. I knew I must do something at once. I had tried physicians without receiving any lasting benefit. I bean the

Should advice be required, write to Mrs. l'inkham, at Lynn, Mass., who has the utter confidence of all intelligent American women. She will promptly tell what to do, free of charge. Lydia K. l'ir.kham's Vegetable Compound, which is easily obtained at any druggist's, will restore any ailing woman to her normal condition quickly and permanently.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts gentlo efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness 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 arc due to the feet, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it a ts. 1 1 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, anil sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoj-ment of good health, and the system 'is regular, then laxatives or other remedies arc not needed. If afflicted with any ac tual 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.

Anstro Hungarian Who Performs Wonders with a Lash. A decided sensation has been created in Vienna by .1 man wl-o probaMy stands alone in tlie world in his particular lino of performance. This yent Ionian's name is IMskolujr, nud be is an Aiistro-IIunsarian by birth. He is an expert or rather a phenomenal artistin the use of the ;.;ad-whip. Heins something totally new in the ;vay of entertainments his appearance has created a decided sensation, and packed bouses are tbe order of the day. Mr. IMskslus is a thickset muscular little man, with very l:vn (yes and swarthy complexion. His wrists, from constant so of the whij, arc man els ?f strength. There are no frills or fussiness about this man. Jle has no nse for a claw-hammer coat, but co-nes on the stae in a well-worn pea-jacket and, after making an un?otn bow to the audience, goes rijriit 10 work. The first thing lie does is to lako n long-lashed, stout-handled wiiip in each hand, and with orchestra accompaniment proceeds to crack or snap them at a terrific rate. The r-ound made by his whips iu this manner is graduated from a noise like a rille report to the soft click of a billiard ball. It makes a curious sort of music, and' serves to show how he can regulate the force of each stroke. More interest, however.

is evinced when he seizes a iciouslooktng gad-whip with an abnormally long lash. It is provided with a very heavy handle of medium luHgth. ending a crook. This is Iiis favorite, a id what he can do with it is really wonderful, lie first gives an idea of what fearful force there lies in a v.hipiasli in the hands of an expeit. A large frame, over which is Stretches! a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the stage. This is marged with a large polka dots or red paint. The man with the whip steps up and, swinging the lash around his head, lets ily at the calfskin. With every blow he actually p'i!ls a piece right out from the leather. leaving a clean-en t hole. These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame with three shelves. On lhes'3 there are a dozen or more of medium-si.cd apples lying very Jose together and

provnieu with large nu timers. Anyone in the audience may designate what

apple he wishes struck and the unerring lash snatches it out like a t!ash. A still more ditlicult number is the snapping of coins from narrow necked wine bottles. A piece of silver about the size of half a dollar is put over the cork of the bottle which titan Is on the edge of the table. The whip artist, without even appearing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lash whizzing through the air and picks off the coin without jarring the bettle, muc.n less breaking it. A very cruel and disgusting piece of business to most people is the killing of rats by a blow of this fearful whiplash. The squealing rats are brought on in a sort of lowwire tray lixed so as to prevent their escape. The man with the whip stands quite a distance from the tray, but every time he strikes thtf lash hits the victim and kills it instantaneously. Sometimes the head is actually torn from the body of the poor beast, so vicious is the blow and so unerring is the aim. These are a few of the things that this gentleman does with the aid of his magic whip. lie also uses it in the manner of a lasso, and can pick up small objects bran astonishing manner. Like everybody else in Eurono this distinguished fore'gner soon expects to start for America to, with the aid of his whip, gather in the mighty dollar. Mrs. 1 S. Crant. who has just purchased ex-Senator IMmunds' house ic Washington for)?KMMH, is a very young looking woman for her age. Her hah is only slightly touched with gray. Hoi voice and manner are youthful, but hoi brow shows a few wrinkles. She is very energetic and business-like in hoi methods. It has always been her desire to end her days in Washington.

Pledeed to McKinley.

The gathering of Ohio Republicans in

State convention at Columbus was auspicious for McKinley. The speech of Foraker was loyal in tone and the delegates were enthusiastic. Especial interest attaches to the platform adopted by the Ohio convention because it is supposed to represent what McKinley would like to have used as the model at St. Louis. Emphasis is laid on the importance of tho tariff question. Following is the declaration on that subject: "We are faithfully wedded to the great principle of protection by every tie of party fealty and affection, and it is dearer to s now than ever before. It has more devoted supporters among the great masses of the American people, irrespective of party, than at any previous period in our national history. It is everywhere

masterful, triumphant American principle a key to our prosperity in business, the

safest prop to the treasury of the United States and the bulwark of our national independence and financial honor." The present tariff law is denounced ns the product of ignorance and incompetence. The free-wool provision comes in for special denunciation, and reciprocity is approved. CJov. Itushnell, Senatorelect I'oraker, Congressman (rosvenor and Mark A. Ilanna were chosen dele-gates-at-hirge from Ohio to the St. Iuis convention. Nominations for State othces resulted as follows: For Secretary of State, Doty, 2(M,; Kinney. 4l!7; Wickoff, 217; necessary to choice, 4'Jd. Kinney's nomination was made unanimous. Marshall J. Williams was renominated for Supreme Judge by acclamation.

IOWA FOR ALLISON. Solid Delegation Chosen at Dea Moines for the Hawkcye Candidate. While the Republicans in Ohio were giving the McKinley boom its ollicial introduction to the world, their brothers in Iowa with no less enthusiasm were launching the boom of Mr. Allison, lioth demonstrations were nnirked by sincerity, and it is evident that the Iowa leaders aro determined not to let McKinley or any other outside candidate encroach upon their territory.

A ontleinan of u inetliotlieal " ' ' habit, who hail ahitt'l the practice

of retaining a copy of every proscription Issued by his family physician, became interested as time went on to note that the samo Ingredients were pretty certain to be prescribed at sun point of the treatment of every case. For a poor appetite, or a sore throat, for restlessness which disturbed tlie baby's sleep, and for troubles which beset the aired grandparents, the favorite remedy was always turning up, although slightly modified from time to time and used often in conjunction with others. One day our friend happened to observe that the formula of a certain advertised remedy was Identical wish the latest proscription lie had received from his own physician, and in some surprise he stated the case to him. The family doctor, after listening to what he h.td to say. replied: "The case is about this way: Win-never there is a disturbance of the

functions of the body, no matter of what nature, it is pretty certain to f be accompanied by a derangement of the digestive orpins. When they nil riirlit tb ii.-iti.MiI irt-ts well-

That particular formula that you have observed me to write more and more frequently is the result of an ao of careful experiment, and is pretty jronerally agreed upon now by all educated physicians who keep up witlMhe times. The discovery of the past few years of the means of reducing every diu. to a powder and -omprss;n the powders into little lozenges or tablets, or tabules if you prefer, w hich will not break or spoil, or lose their good qualities from ae, if protected from air and liht, Is the explanation of how it lias come about that this prescription is now for sale as an advertised r edy. It is the medicine that nine people out of ten need every time they need any. and I have no doubt that making it so easy to obtain, so carefully prepared, and withal so cheap, will tend to actually prohvijj the average of human life during the present generation." lUpaiis TkIt.Io ir mM .y Ir-tirlhi. r l.j in!'. 1 lh i-rlre e,:i'.
