Don’t wait until your sufferings have
driven you to despair, with your nerves all
shattered and your courage gone.
Help and happiness surely awaits you if you accept Sirs. Pinkham’s
advice. Disease makes women nervous, irritable, and easily annoyed by
children and household duties; such women need the counsel and help
of a woman who understands the peculiar troubles of her sex; that
woman is Mrs. Pinkham, who with her famous medicine, Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, have restored more sick and dis
couraged women to health and happiness than any other one person.
Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. Write today, do
not wait.
Will not the volumes of letters from women who have been
made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound con
vince others of the virtues of this great medicine?
When a medicine has been successful in more than a million
cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, “I do not
believe it would help me ? ”
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and dis
couraged, exhausted with each day’s w’ork. If you have some <£&’
rangement of the feminine organism try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. It will surely help you.
Mrs. Emilie Seering, 174 St. Ann’s Ave-, New
York City, writes:
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— If women who are always blue and depressed
and nervous would take Lydia E. Pink ham’s
Vegetable Compound they would find it the medi
cine they need to bring' them to a more cheerful
frame of mind. I was terribly worried and downcast,
and was thin and bloodless. My back ached all the
time, no matter how hard I tried to forget jit or
change my position to ease it, and the pain at the
base of my brain was so bad that I sometimes
thought that I would grow crazy; I had the blues so
much and was always so depressed I could not seem
to shake them off ; half of the time I did not seem to
have the courage to do my work ; everything
seemed to go wrong with me, and I was always
worrying and fearing the worst. I began to
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. After the first few doses a load seemed
lifted from my shoulders, I felt better in every
way. The blues left me and my head stopped aching;
before long my back was better too, and I looked younger and stronger I took
six bottles in" all, and it is with thankfulness that I acknowledge that my
present good health is due to the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”

Residents of Marion and Surround
ing Territory are Given
Assistance.
A slight fall In the Mississippi
from Cairo to Memphis has relieved
the situation in the flooded district
in eastern Arkansas to a certain ex
tent and it is thought that the dan
ger of other breaks in the levee is
past. The water continues to pour
through the breaches in the embank
ment at Trice’s Landing and Random
Shot, but it is not thought that the
water in the flooded section of Crit
tenden county will show any further
rise. The residents of Marion and
the surrounding country, which has
been affected most seriously, have
been given relief and the entire sit
uation is pronounced by officials of
the levee board to be satisfactory. In
compliance with orders from Presi
dent Killough, of the St. Francis
levee board, a large barge was sent
through the crevasse at Trice’s land
ing on the 21st to the aid of the im
prisoned citizens of Marion. The
steamer Hugo was dispatched the
following day on a similar mission,
with instructions to render assistance
at any point in the flooded district
where it might be found to be need
ed. A train on the Frisco penetrated
the flooded district and reached Ma
rion. All the persons who desired to
leave the town were taken in this
train, but most of the residents re
fused to leave their homes. The
flooded area has been increased by a
serious break in the levee at Ran
dom Shot. The embankment gave
way at that point under the terrific
pressure of the swollen river and
through a crevasse nearly a quarter
of a mile in length the water has
been pouring in upon the land be
hind the levee. A vast area has
been completely inundated, but the
damage will be less owing to the fact
that the water which flows through
this breach as well as that at Trice’s
landing flows into the St. Francis riv
er and is carried back into the Mis
sissippi through that stream.
Reports from Pecan Point indicat
ed that the levee at that point and
extending a short distance north,
was still in grave danger. A large
force of workmen and engineers has
been at ■work night and day strength
ening and increasing the height of
the levee at that point. Tnere was
also reported to be serious danger of
a break at Leland.
A telegram was received from Ma
rion asking for aid for the flood refu
gees at that place. Gov. Davis wired
Secretary of War Root asking for 100
tents and a telegram was received
stating that the tents would be for
warded immediately to Marianna.
The breach in the levee at Trice’s
Landing, which was made several
days ago, has not been widened to
any appreciable extent. Dispatches
from Arkansas City state that the
river has risen steadily at that point
but that the levee is intact. Orders
were issued prohibiting the running
of freight trains on the Iron Moun
tain tracks which run over the levee.
According to advices from Helena,
the river had shown a steady rise at
that point until Sunday. A large
force of men is at work strengthen
ing the levee, and armed guards are
patrolling the embankment day and
night;

DISGUISED CATARRH

vitality is sapped away by catarrhal
discharges from the pelvic organs.

night as tired as before.
Mrs. Eva Ilartho. 133 East 12th

fered for three years with what is generally
known as leucorrhea, in connection with
ulceration of the womb. The doctors advo
cated an operation which I dreaded very
much, and strongly objected to go-under it.
Reading of the value of Peruna, I thought
it best to give this well-known remedy a
trial, so I bought three bottles of it at once.
Now I am a changed woman. Peruna cured
me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much
improved I kept taking it. as I dreaded an
operation so much. I am to-day in perfect
health, and have not felt so well for fifteen
years.”—Mrs. Eva Bartho.

pleased to give praise to Peruna for fs?
blessed relief I found through its use r
suffered for years with backache and dn/
glng down pains and often had to so in
bed and stay there when I was so busy that
I could illy be spared. It was therefore a
simple godsend to me when Peruna wit
brought to my notice. Every drop seemed
to give me new life, and! every dose made
me feel much better, and I promised mvself
that if I found that it cured me I would ad
vocate It so that other suffering women
should know of It. I have been in perfect
health for one year. I enjoy work and
pleasure because In such fine health, and no
trouble seems too heavy to bear when you
are In good health. Peruna has slmplv
been a household blessing, and I never will
be without it again.’’—Mrs. Kate Mann
Miss Louise Mahon. 3 Glen Hallle
Street, Toronto, Out. Can., Secretary
of the King'll Laughters and Secre
tary of iLady Maccabees, writes:—“If
all women knew of the benefits to be de
rived from taking Peruna we would have
many happier and more healthful women.
My health has never been too robust, and i
am easily fatigued and can not stand much.
About a year ago I was so run down that
I had to take to my bed, and became weaker
and weaker. A friend advised me to try
Peruna, and I have great reason to be
grateful, for in two weeks I was out of bed
and in a month I was perfectly weil, and I
now find that my health is much more
robust than formerly, so that I take Pe
runa once or twice a month and keep well.’’
—Louise Mahon.
Peruna is such a perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced to quit
it until they are permanently cured. It
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened, the appetite restored,
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.
Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and
Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis., writes
is follows in regard to Peruna:
“For yearsl have suffered with back
ache and severe pains' in the side. I
Joctored so much that I became dis
couraged.- A school friend toldme how
very much Peruna had benefited her
and I sent out for a bottle, which did
more to relieve me than all the other

Uroolil.vii, N. Y., write*!—“Feruna did
so much for me that I feel It my duty to
recommend It to others who may be sim
ilarly afflicted. About a year ago mv
health was completely broken down, had
backache, dizziness and irregularities, and
life seemed dark indeed. We had used Fe
runa in our home as a tonic, and for colds
and catarrh, and I decided to try it for my
trouble. In less than three months I be
came regular, my pains had entirely dis
appeared, and I am now perfectly well.”—
Mrs. Anna Martin.
i Mrs. Win. lletrick, Kennard, Wash
ington county. Neb., writes:
* “lam fifty-six years old and have not
felt well since the Change of Life be
gan ten years ago. I was in misery
somewhere most of the time. My back
was very weak, and my flesh so tender
it hurt me to lean against the back of a
chair. I had pain under my shoulder
blades, in the small of my back and
hips. I sometimes wished myself out
of this world. Had hot and cold spells,
dizziness and trembling of the limbs,
and waslosingflesh all the time. After
following your directions and taking
Peruna I now feel like a different per
