M DEAR MRS. PINKXIAM : -- For some years I suffered with backache, gevere bearing-down pains, leucorrhoea, atid falling of the womb. I tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief. u I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound In June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast im­ provement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel like a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Com­ pound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous oollapse. I weighed only 93 pounds. JSow I weigh 109i pounds and $m improving every day. I gladly testify to the benefits received."-- HBS. R. G. TUPMAN, 423 West 30th St., Richmond, Va. When a medicine has been successful in more than a million •ases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, ** I do not fcelieve it would help me " ? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discoor- lged| exhausted with each day's work.. You have some derange* ment of the feminine organism, and Lydia £. Pinkliam's Vege* Cable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. Mrs. W. H. Pelliam, Jr., 108 E. Baker St., Richmond, Va., says I " DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM :--I must say that I do not beliove there is any female medicine to compare with Lydia E. Pinkliams Vegetable Com­ pound, and I return to you my heartfelt thanks for what your medicine has done for me. Before taking the Vegetable Compound I was so badly off that I thought I could not live much longer. The little work I had to do was a burden to me. I suffered with irregular menstruation and leucorrhoea, which caused an irritation of the parts. I looked like one who had consumption, but I do not look like that now, and I owe it all to your wonder­ ful medicine. "I took only six bottles, but it has made me feel like a new person. I thank God that there is such a female helper ' as you." Be it, therefore, believed by all Women who are ill that Liydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound fll the medicine they should take. It has stood the test of time, •nd it has hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit. Women •hould consider it unwise to use any other medicine. Mrs. Pinkham, whose address is Lynn, Mass., will answer cheer­ fully and without cost all letters addressed to her by sick women. Perhaps she has just the knowledge that will help your case-- try her to-day -- it costs nothing.

RAIti SPOILS THE PAGEANT Edward' Orders That Royal Carriage Remain Open bespite the Wet Weather So He May Recognize the Devotion of Loyal Subjects. London cable: Final ceremonies in connection with the inauguration of the reign of King Edward VII. took place when the king, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, the Prince of Wales, and almost all the members of the royal family, drove to St. Paul's cathe­ dral and offered up thanks for the recovery of his health, which had < abled him to be crowned. The weather was rainy, and small crowds marked the royal progress through the metropolis. At Temple Bar the Lord Mayor of London and the corporation, in bedraggled robe*, met the king and escorted him to the cathedral. In tne nave of St. Paul'B were gathered several thousand per­ sons. including Premier Balfour, lead­ ing mm--«rs ot the nobility, almost all the members of the Cabinet, and the foreign Ambassadors to Great Britain, among' whom was Mr. Choate. Artillerymen Faint. The honorable artillery company formed an imposing line; the mem­ bers wore their busbies, and carried fixed bayonets. Before the service was over several of the artillerymen had fainted as a result of long stand­ ing. The choir, the chapter, and the bishop of London, the Right Rev. Ar­ thur Ingram, escorted the king and queen to the throne under the reredos. There was a full choral service of thanksgiving, followed by a sermon from the bishop of London, who laid special stress upon the fact that thia was the second time in his majesty's life that he had entered St. Paul's to give thanks for his recovery from a dangerous illness. At the conclusion of the sermon the Te Deum was sung heartily. Crowds Cheer. The royal party then returned to Buckingham palace, and were well greeted on the way wherever the crowds were large enough to raise a cheer. In spite of the rain, King Ed­ ward ordered that the carriage be kept open, and Queen Alexandra bowed and smiled from behind a small umbrella. The scene at St. Paul's was more brilliant than devotional. A11 the offi­ cials present wore their uniforms, and their decorations created a blaze of color seldom seen in the cathedral. King Edward was dressed in the uni­ form of a Field Marshal, and wore the decoration of the Order of the Garter. SERUM FOR WHOOPING COUGH Brussels Doctor Announces Cure Can Be Made in a Few Days. London cable: A young Brussels physician of the name of Leureaux claims to have discovered the serum of whooping cough, which is injected under the skin in the abdominal re­ gion. From the experiments which he has conducted hitherto, the injec­ tion appears to be quite harmless. The first effects are apparent about forty- eight hours after the inoculation. The serum produces an early cessation of the coughing fits and a considerable diminution of the normal period of illness. If the injection is made Im­ mediately on the manifestation of the usual symptom the malady can be cured In eight or ten days. The usual course is from six to eight weeks. HANG3 BETWEEN TWO PICKET8 Man Suffering From Heart Disease Is Strangled to Death.

B O V g R H O R Uses Pe-ru-na For Colds O F O R E G O N in His Family Grip. CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON. A Letter From the Executive Officer of Orefob. Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula­ tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun­ dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti­ san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher--all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testi­ mony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca­ tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om­ nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the on'.y abso­ lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na notonly curesca- tarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great rem- edy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardeat admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it tinually in the house. In a recent let­ ter to Dr. Hartman he says: i; STATE OF OREGON, J. Exkcutivr Dei*artm«J»T , T' SALEM, May 9, 1898. | The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, Oil Dear Sirs--I have had occasion to your Pe-ru-na medicine in my fotnily for colds, and it proved to be an escu­ lent remedy. I have not had i» < ulia to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the (ioveraor says he has not had occasion to use Pe- ru-na for other ailments, The reason fo* this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cim colds,he protects his family againstotli- er ailments. This is exactly what every cither family in the United StatesshonM do. Keep I'e-ru-na in the houi e Use It •for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and then will be no other ailments in the housst Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book» entitled "Winter Catarrh."
