The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat,M violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occur­ rences--are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and se­ rious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms. Mrs. Lewis Says: "I Peel Like a New Person, Physically and ilentally." "DUB MBB. PINKHAH I wish to speak a good word for Eydla XL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For years I had ovarian trouble and suffered everything from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in back and abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to try your medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief. I con­ tinued its use and now am feeling like a new person, physically and mentally, and am glad to add one more testimonial to the value of your remedy."-- MRS. M. H.

This is the address given in an order for Dodd's Kidney Pills received and filled by the Dodd's Medicine Company of Buffalo, on April 16th. This unique direction means that to reach the sick people of Iceland, the parcel must travel to New York, then to London, Eng., then northwest to Greenland, to be landed finally, on the lonely island at the edge of the ArcUc Circle. This is a pointed illustration of how United States goods find their way to the remotest corners of the earth. America today, produces better medi­ cines, as well as better manufactured articles than any other country in the world, and this fact accounts for the demand for Dodd's Kidney Pills from every part of the known universe.

The well-known trade paper, the Iron Age, deprecates the use of the ex­ pression "working class" or "wage- earning class" in this country, declar­ ing that we have no such distinct classes; that men pass readily from one position to another, according to their abilities or good fortune. But the age has something further than a mere spellbinder's or demagogue's pur­ pose in dealing with this subject. It holds that the use of the expression is unfortunate if it encourage the Idea of patronage of one class by another. It declares, and rightly, that in this country the wa^e-earner does not rep­ resent a class, but a condition that may be temporary; that there are very few; employers that have not at some stage of their career been wage-earn­ ers, and that our so-called classes merge in a way that would be impos­ sible if there were any real class dis­ tinctions. The Age therefore depre­ cates anything that tends toward the making of class distinctions, toward the patronage by one class of another, as well as toward the acceptance of patronage. In this connection it de­ velops a thought that may not be so popular as this, but that commends it­ self to reflection, namely, that an en­ couraged investor like an encouraged immigrant or an encouraged anything, is not worth much. The practical ap­ plication of it Is that it is unwise for industrial and transportation corpora­ tions, tor example, to offer, as they frequently do, special facilities to their employes for becoming stockholders. Such schemes are generally, if not al­ ways, well meant The stock Idea we all know, namely, that employes that have an interest In the business will be stimulated to greater care for that business, will be steadied by their sense of responsibility--which sounds well, but which the Age holds to be rather specious than solid, because the practice leads to an artificial situation. Every Investor, It declares, should in­ vest for the same reason that any in­ vestor invests, exercising the same caution, be prepared to accept the same responsibilities, and be entitled to the same fruits. The specially helped em­ ploye as a stockholder is likely to be troublesome. The thought ia a deep one and worthy of consideration. In a way, everybody, particularly In this country, is hopeful and helpful as to the struggling man of small means. The sight of the small wage-earner be­ coming a large wage-earner, then a salaried man. and then a capitalist, is ever a welcome sight. It is typical of the optimistic and sympathetic charac­ ter of American life. But however beautiful these qualities are, they can­ not in the long run Ignore fundamen­ tal traits, and unquestionably It seems to us the Iron Age has laid bare one of those traits in its suggestion that too much over-fostering or too much help may result not only in a paraly­ sis of self-help, but In the creation of the spirit that is fatal to the only con­ dition on which permanent prosperity can toe based, namely, the exercise on the part of each for himself of the qualities of good judgment, of thrift, and wise management For with all these there is more or less of an ele­ ment of luck or the operation of things that no one can control that bring at times disaster, and when dis­ aster comes the only defense against it is the education which the exercise of these qualities alone can give. The ar­ tificially stimulated man at such times lacking these qualities shows weakness Instead of strength.--Indianapolis News.

Which Have Been Bsiphariwd Are Confiscated as Injurious Consul General Guenther of Frank­ fort calls attention to the fact that un­ der the German law dried fruits which have been treated with sulphur are considered Injurious to health and are liable to be confiscated, confiscation having actually taken place in several cities. The consul general further states that he has been shown two re­ ports by the Chemical-Technical and Hygienic institute, of Frankfort, re­ lative to samples of dried California apricots, one of which samples showed the presence of 0.03376 per cent of sul­ phurous acid and the other 0.182 per cent If the authorities become cog­ nizant of this fact, continues Mr. Guenther, not only will this fruit be confiscated, but the German dealers, rather than get into difficulties with the authorities, will discontinue the trade. The consul general adds that Ger­ many's importation of California dried fruits is increasing, and advises United States exporters to be careful to ob­ serve the German laws and not sub- Jeot their shipments to confiscation. The two consignments of apricots of which samples were analyzed were not shipped directly from California to Frankfort, but were procured from middlemen. Mayor or Mlddletown, Ohio. Joseph E.

Peruna restores health tak ft normal way. Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this ; way restores the functions of every organ. If it is the stomach that is oat ot order, and the digestion impaired, Pe­ runa quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of tha stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain la tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation of blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the di- gestive organs, Peruna reaches the ' spot at once by giving to these mem­ branes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also lined with mucous membrane which in the ; female sex is especially liable to de­ rangements. Peruna is an absolute specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising it No ottor remedy has ever received such nn* qualified praise from such a multitude*| of women.
