All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when
a woman’s nerves are overwrought.
The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes,
“ball rising in the throat,” 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. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com
pound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the
nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing
symptoms.
Airs. Lewis Says: “ I Feel Like a New Person,
Physically and fientally.”
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish to speak a good word for Lydia E,
Pinkliam’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. Lewis, 2108 Valentino Ave., Trcmont, Now York, N. Y.
Writing to Mrs. Pinkham is the quickest and surest way
to get the right advice about all female troubles. Her ad
dress is Lynn, Mass. She advises women free. Following
is an instance :
Mrs. Haven’s First Letter to Mrs. Pinkham.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham I would like your advice in regard to my
troubles. I suffer every month at time of menstruation, and flow so much
and for so long that I become very weak, also get very dizzy. I am troubled
with a discharge before and after menses, have pains in ovaries so bad some
times that I can hardly get around, have sore feeling in lower part of bowels,
pain in back, bearing-down feeling, a desire to pass, urine frequently, with
pains in passing it; have leucorrboea, headache, fainting spells, and some
times have hysteria. My blood is not in good condition. Hoping to hear
from you, I am,” Mrs. Emma Haven, 2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa.
(June 3, 1899.)
Mrs. Haven’s Second Letter.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish to express my gratitude for what your
medicine has done for me. I suffered for four years with womb trouble.
Every month I flowed very badly. I got so bad that I could hardly do my
work. Was obliged to sit or lie down the most of the time. I doctored for
a long time, but obtained no relief. I began using your remedies—Lydia
E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound, Blood Purifier, Sanative Wash
and Liver Pills—and now feel like a new woman.”-Mrs. Emma Haven,
2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa. (Feb. 1, 1900.)
Owing; to the fact that some skeptical
people have, from time to time questioned
the genuineness cf the testimonial letters
we are constantly publishing, we have
deposited with the National City Hank, of Lynn, Mass., $5,000,
which will be paid to any person who will show that the. above
testimonials are not genuine, or were published before obtaining the
writers’ special permission.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.

ECONOMY BAG HOLDER.
Adjnntable toA ny Slr.e of Sack nni|
Can Be TTscd Rcntlily by One
or Two Persons,
This bag holder was designed by me
and it lias been of great utility at our
farm as it can be used alone or two
persons can use it, one filling the sacks
and the other tying them up. To make
it take a 2x4 board and saw it in two
pieces 24 inches long; then take a
piece 2x6 and saw it 26 inches long.
After this take a piece eight inches
wide and six feet long and saw it in
three pieces each two feet long. Now
nail these three boards on these other
pieces which were 2x4x24 and nail the
2x6x26 between the other pieces. Take
another 2x4 board and saw it two feet
long and set this studding with one
end on the part of the 2x6x26 that
sticks out from under the 2x2 foot
platform, and nail it securely. Then
HANDY BAG HOLDER,
put on a brace, which is made from
three-eighth-inch round iron, and
fasten this about ten inches up on the
2x4, which is simply nailed and
fastened to the other end of the brace
on the platform. Then take another
2x4 and two feet long and to one end
of this piece, nail a 2x4x8 in the form
of an L and in this piece make a long
hole, and also a like hole in the piece
that was fastened to the little plat
form. Take two bolts about 4% inches
long and have the blacksmith make a
nut which will be turned easily by the
lingers. Now make the funnel of ten
inch boards and fasten this funnel to
the L-shaped studding and then secure
two braces made of three-quarter-inch
flat iron and fasten it firmly. Get four
good hooks made of heavy galvanized
wire. This bag holder is made adjust
able to any size sack as the nuts can
be loosened and the funnel or hopper
may be raised or lowered according to
the length of the sack.-—Carl Thiege, in
Agricultural Epitomist.
A WORD ABOUT ONIONS.
They Ape Ennily Grown nn«l with
Good Care Will Yield a Fairly
Profitable Crop.
There is a good deal of complaint
among- farmers and gardeners about
being unable to secure a good stand
of onions by planting the seed. Onion
seed deteriorates very rapidly with
age, and only that of the last season’s
crop should be used. The sprouting
seeds and young plants are very easi
ly killed by drought, and some meth
od of planting must be followed that
will carry the young plants over the
dry weather. A simple and quite ef
fective way of planting is to prepare
a good seed bed by plowing the land
in the fall or early winter. Smooth
down the surface with a harrow or
similar tool. Drill the seed In rows
about 15 inches apart, placing the
seed about one inch below the sur
face of the soil. Firm the soil well
on the seed by walking on the rows
or some similar method; then covet
lightly with loose soil. This method,
although simple, has never failed tc
give a good stand of onions at the
experiment station at Stillwater. As
soon as the plants are three or foui
inches high they should be thinned
to three inches apart" in the row.
Weeds and grass should never be per
mitted to grow in the onion bed and
the surface of the soil should be kept
loose and mellow with the hoe 01
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
growji and with good care will yield
a good crop in almost all parts of
Oklahoma. — Oklahon« Experiment
Station.
Wnsli the Cowl In Sommer.
Cows should sometimes be washed,
even in the summer time. The hair
protected skin of the cow is a good
lodging place for fungoid germs and
ferments of all kinds. The cows
wade through stagnant water filled
with countless myriads of baeteria,
or stand in deep mud equally pol
luted. They return to the stable* or
milking yards and the bacteria re
main on them and fall in invisible
showers into the milk as it is drawn.
Then we hear about ropy milk, or
milk having a rank flavor. It could
have been prevented had care been
exercised in cleaning the cows. When
cows give evidence of having been in
such places they should be thorough
ly washed.—Farmers’ Review.
Tlie Selection of Melons.
Seedsmen who recommend melons
call attention to the shipping qual
ities of the varieties. For home use
there is no melon that can compare
with the Klecklcy, while the Emerald
Gem is the best of the canteloupes,
though neither variety will shfp to
market satisfactorily. One of the
best to follow the Emerald Gem for
a later kind is the old Hacketusaclc,
both being planted at the same time.
These varieties cannot be excelled
for quality.—Troy (N. Y.) Times.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, anti that is Catarrh. Hall’t
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
