FOUR YEARS OF AGONY,
Whole Foot Nothing B'it Freud Flesh
—Had to Use Crutches—“Cuti
cura Remedies the Best on
Earth.’’
“In the year 1899 the side of my
right foot was cut off from the little
toe down to the heel, and the physi
cian who had charge of me was try
ing 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 un
told agonies 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 1 be
gan using Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment 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 more like $600. John M. Lloyd,

asked.
"He's a camera fiend of the worst

with a slight smile. “I expect to send
him to the workhouse for about three

"What!” the lawyer shouted, indig

The Struggle
By CHAS. MICHAEL WILLIAMS
(Copyright, by Joseph li. Bowles.)
The sonorous bell of the old clock be
gan to strike the hour of twelve at
night.
One!—it rang, solemnly, slowly.
Roger Carton started violently; he
hurriedly raised his head from his arms
and the light revealed his haggard and
passion-distorted face. Steeped in men
tal misery for hours, he had paid no
heed to the progress of time, but now he
bestirred himself. In half an hour the
train would start, and he was to go on
it, away from that hateful town—for
ever—
Two!—rang the sweet-toned bell.
He was on his feet, swiftly sweeping
the papers from his desk into a bag;
still with confused, acutely painful
thoughts racing through his mind faster
than the voice of time as symbolized by
the chiming clock—
Three! —
Could he not stop thinking now? The
train was waiting. There would be no
other for 15 hours, and 15 hours more in
this place would bean eternity of suffer
ing. He must hurry on to New York,
there to begin a new life, if new life
were possible to a man who had failed
so miserably in his first trial of exist
ence—
Four! —
In New York he would be an insignifi
cant cipher among millions —not, as
here in his birthplace, the derided
young “fool of a boy’’ as he had over
heard a man he respected allude to him.
Placed in charge of his father's factory
by that honored man, now dead, had he
not neglected his business, failed in his
promises, wounded the hearts of those
who loved him (two women, they: his
mother and the girl) and all by his
idiotic behavior over a woman who had
finally simply laughed at him? Oh, the
shame of it—she had laughed at him!
Five! —
Here were her letters, her photo
graph. Slashed across, he threw them
into the fire. The picture fell face up
ward, and from the red glowing coals
the woman's dark, enigmatical eyes
smiled at him. How she had enslaved
him, the dusky stranger with her un
readable eyes, her singular smiles, her
voice of haunting cadences. And now
she was nothing but a ghost, torturing
his memory and driving him forth from
home and kindred—
Six! Seven! Eight—inexorable time
winged on.
He took three more photographs from
the desk—his mother’s—he averted his
eyes as he put it in the bag; the girl
Miriam’s, her frank, candid eyes sent
a pang of remorse to his soul; and
his father’s, the dead soldier’s stead
fast gaze looked searchingly into his
eyes.
Nine! Ten!—
Singular, subtle, powerful were the
emotions that vibrated as there surged
throughout his veins the aroused blood
of the man, his father. He had believed
In him; that warrior who had fought
for home and country and never turned
his back on foe or duty—
Eleven! —
The utter shame: real shame, chilled
him to the heart. “I am acting the—the
cotvard! What, run away?—that would
be wmrse than anything! No, dad—I’ll
stay and fight this thing out.” He sud
denly touched the portrait with his lips,
and sat down steadily in his chair. He
began to set his papers in order—and—
The sonorous bell of the old clock
struck twelve.

alive or dead, has been rudely shat
tered by fact once more. Adam Kin
ley, of Oogah house township, is
minus three members of an early lit
ter of black piggies, the result of a
foraging expedition on the part of four
presumptuous black bears, says the
Philadelphia Record.
Kinley and the hired men helping
him saw two old bears and a couple
of cubs come out of the woods at a
corner of the field scarcely two stones’
throws from his house. One of the
old bears grasped two piglets in its
forepaws and hugged them to death,
while the other big Bruin did likewise
with one pig, and the sow and six
others of her litter ran squealing
toward their pen. Then the four
bears ambled back into the woods with
their prey.
Powerful Writer.
“It is strange,” said a lawyer, “that
the late Rufus Shapley, the brilliant
Philadelphia lawyer, did not write a
number of novels. ‘Solid for Mul
hooly/ Mr. Shapley's only book, had an
immense success. Encouraged by it, 1
wonder he did not keep on writing.
“Once at a dinner 1 heard an editor
congratulate Mr. Shapley warmly on
’Solid for Mulhooly’. The editor said
It was powerfully written.
"Mr. Bhapley in his oddly humorous
way replied:
“ ‘I suppose 1 am a powerful writer.
The gift still lingers with me, too. The
other day I wrote a letter of condo
lence to the widow of an old friend,
and I understand that the lady no
sooner read my letter than, changing
her black gown for a pink one, she
went to a matinee.’ ”
And Yet.
“Didn’t that, patient respond to your
treatment?” asked the doctor’s wife.
“Not yet,” replied the physician;
“and I’ve sent him three bills!”—Cas

Nothing Succeeds Like “EGG-O-SEE." |
The man who preaches the best ser- |

goods soon finds tha* people come to
him. Merit is the best advertisement
in the world. People speak well of
things they know are good. They pass
the good word along.
The best breakfast food is EGG-O- j
SEE, for it contains all the life-giving
properties of nature’s best food, which
is wheat.
EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the
thousands of wives and mothers who
use it in their homes, for these good
women tell their neighbors about this
great food.
Children and aged persons alike are
friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are the
things that advertise EGG-O-SEE
most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10
cent package contains ten liberal
breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold every
where. Grocers must keep it if they
want to keep their good customers,
for good customers insist on buying
EGG-O-SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no 1

put as much as you like in a dish; \

WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of *73” Caused
it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
Tliis remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com
ing' from a good old Quaker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkliam,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life Wjas marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature’s own remedies—
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
erties of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study.of root* and herbs, their
characteristics and power Qvcr disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field tnere are remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
liam's friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, -with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the targe real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
Iodine a Cure fox Snake Bite.
For a sure cure for snake bite, take
about seven drops of iodine, scarify
and bathe the wound also with iodine.
This remedy was first used by a med
ical officer in British service in In
dia. It has cured both man and f.
number of animals; It never fails;
it is really wonderful in its effects.
One instance I will relate. A young
man working for me in the harvest
field was bitten by a very large rat
tlesnake on one of his large toes. I
gave him about seven drops of tincture
of iodine on a little sugar, and to
make doubly sure repeated the dose
an hour later. His foot swelled, but
next morning he was all'right. I have
had animals whose bodies have swelled
considerably, but all have recovered
from the bite.—Topeka Capital.
Best in Existence.
"I sincerely believe, all things con
sidered, Hunt's Lightning Oil is the
most useful and valuable household
remedy in existence. For Cuts, Burns,
Sprains and Insect Bites, it has no
equal, so far as my experience goes.”

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkliams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Poston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
ily had saved enough money to com
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her rewSrd years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice—
and there were thousands—received
careful study, and the details, includ
ing syfnptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman’s ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter-in-law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her haid-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it. and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work.and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad
vised how to regain health. Sick wo
men, this advice is “Yours for Health"*
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound ; made
from simple roots and herbs ; the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
Do what you consider right, what
