LJJi
lady of Richmond, Va., a great
sufferer with woman’s troubles,
tells how she was cured.
“For some years I suffered with
"backache, severe bearing-down pains,
leucorrhoca, and falling of the womb.
I tried many remedies, but nothing
gave any positive relief.
“ I commenced taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
in June, 1901. When I had taken the
first half bottle, I felt a vast improve
ment, and have now taken ten bottles
with the result that I feel like a new
w’oman. When I commenced taking
the Vegetable Compound I felt all
worn out and was fast approaching/
complete nervous collapse. I weighed
only 98 pounds. Now f weigh 109>£
pounds and am improving every day.
I gladly testify to the benefits re
ceived.”— Mrs. R. C. Tupman, 423 West
30th St., Richmond, Va.—$5000 forfeit if

When a medicine has been suc
cessful in more than a million
eases, is it justice to yourself to
say, without trying it, “ I do not
believe it would help me?”
Surely you cannot wish to re
main weak and sick.
Mrs. Pinkham, whose address
Is Lynn, Mass., will answ er cheer
fully and without cost all letters
addressed toiler by sick women.
Perhaps she has just the knowl
edge that will help your case —
try her to-day— it costs nothing.

PoatinaNtrr-Urnrnil Payne Calls l>
on Former Delia rl meat OHl
elals for Information.
Washington, May 2.—Postmaster
General Payne addressed letters to
former I*ostiua.ster-General Charles
Emory Smith, Fourth Assistant Post
master-General Bristow, Postmaster
Merritt of this city and Comptroller
Tracewell, of the treasury, calling at
tention to a published interview with
VV. Tulloch, for many years up to
three years ago cashier of the Wash
ington post, office. The interview
quotes Mr. Tulloch as saying that the
whole tendency of the post office de
partment is to convert, the Washing
ton city post office into a mere bureau
of the department, disburse its funds
and appoint and promote its em
ployes; that an investigation of the
accounts of the Washington post of
fice was begun by an expert of the
compl roller's office, but was stopped
and the expert removed, “presumably
as a warning to others” Post office
inspectors who were aware of the ex
isting conditions, the interview says,
were threatened with removal as they
presumed too much, but Mr. Bristow
stood by his men and demanded an in
vestigation of the first assistant’s of
fice, which was refused.
Mr. Payne asks for a complete re
port front Postmaster Merritt, includ
ing a list of all changes made in the
Washington office during his incuii,
beney and upon whose order the'
were made. The letter to Comptrol
ler Tracewell says that the publica
tion is a direct reflection upon his of
fice and asks if any truth exists in
the charges.
GOV. FRANCIS GRATIFIED.
The President of the Louisiana Pnr.
cliase Exposition Co. Gratified
With the Dedication Showing.
St. ixniis, May 2.—Hon. David R
Francis, president of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Co., says:
“I feel gratified beyond expression
at the success of the ceremony of the
first day of the dedication. The
crowds along the line of march were
larger than I have even seen in St.
Louis or elsewhere. The military pa
rade was a credit to the grand mar
shal and the troops that participated
therein.
“The addresses of the president
and Mr. Cleveland were able and
scholarly, and will live. The repre
sentatives of foreign governments
who are in attendance expressed
themselves as being deeply impressed,
and the effect will be a still greater
effort on the part of their govern
ments to make characteristic and
creditable exhibits.’

“PE-RU-NA SAVED MY LIFE,” >
- Writes Mrs. W. McRoberts. r
Women Made Strong and Happy
Mothers.
Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is a Fre
quent Cause of Barrenness.
Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the
System.
TO the woman of ancient Israel not
to become a mother was regarded
as the greatest of earthly calamities.
To become a mother—more especially
the mother of a strong, healthy boy—•
was the height of glory for the faithful
woman of the good old Bible days.
Even now, when maternity is not es
teemedas of yore, the motherof healthy
children is an object of admiration, and
sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As
compared with ancient peoples, the
average American woman has a low ap
preciation of motherhood. There are,
however, a great many exceptions to
this statement.
The accompanying letters from grate
ful women who have been made strong,
healthy and happy mothers need no
added words of ours to make them con
vincing. Catarrh had weakened and
impaired their entire systems. Peruna
made them sound and well.
Mrs. L. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho,
writes:
“Your medicine did me a wonderful
amount of good. It cured me of barren
ness. I am 30 years old and never had
any children ; but since beginning your

1 Mrs. W. McRoberts, writes to Dr. Hartman from Delano, Miss., the
♦ following:
; Delano, Miss.
1,Doctors. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir :—,,l feel perfectly well of catarrh. I did as you directed me
to and took Peruna and Manalin. The third of March I gave birth to a
10-pound baby girt and we are both well and happy. I am very thankful
t to you, and Peruna saved my life. / recommend it to everyone and
1 can’t praise it enough.
ST “I send you my own and my baby’s picture. She Is so sweet and
good,—she is a Peruna baby. I have such good health now. I do all my
housework and take care of my baby, and feel so good.
• • There are three or four of my neighbors using Peruna now, since it
t did me so much good. They were just run down, and they think it is
I fine. It is so good to give strength.”—Mrs. W. McRoberts.

medicine I pave birtli to a 10-pound
baby girl. She is now six months old
and weighs 25 pounds. My friends were
all surprised. Some would not believe
it until they came to see me.
“ My husband says he never saw such
a change in any one as there was in me
after I had taken three or four bottles of
Peruna. I am stronger than I have
been since I was quite young. God
bless you and your medicine forever. I
can not tell you all. My letter is too
long already ; but I will say Peruna
cured me. t never saw or heard of
anything half so good. I can never
thank you enough for your kindness.
In cases of la grippe it works like a
charm. It cured my baby when other
medicines failed. She was real bad with
la grippe.”—Mrs. L. M. Griffith.
Mrs. E. E. Thomas, Alpha, Mo.,
writes:
“I have used your Peruna and Mana
lin. I had been doctoring1 for several
years, but kept getting worse. One day
a neighbor woman brought me your
book, the “ Illsof Life,'1 and wanted me
to take your medicine. I told her that
I had given up all hope of ever getting
well. I had tried so much medicine.
My neighbors thought I was nearly
dead with consumption.
“ Finally I concluded that I would
make a last trial. So my husband got
rhe a bottle of Peruna and Manalin. I
commenced taking them according to
directions. That was two years ago. A
year ago last November I gave birth to
a 10-pound baby boy, who is well and
hearty ; and I am doing my own house
work. I can never give Peruna too
great praise. I think itisthe best med
icine I ever heard of.”—Mrs. E. E.
Thomas.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giving a
full statement of your ease and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

— had to get up five and six times of

am cured. They are the remedy par
excellence.—B. F, Ballard.

Protect the Habits! ,
Every mother has bright hopes for her baby.
These hopes depend on the health of the little
one during the first few years. A baby is sure
to be well, fat and healthy if its health is looked
after. Baby's health depends on its getting
through the teething period safely. Babies are
generally affected with diarrhoea summer com
plaints when teething, which could be avoided
by using McGee’s Baby Elixir to digest its food
and prevent its food from souring on its stomach.
McGee's Baby Elixir contains no opiates or
poisons, or other harmful ingredients. It is
especially suited to sick and well babies. Great
care should be used in due time to prevent any
trouble. .
When Needed.—McGee’s Baby Elixir regu.
lates the atony ch and bowels, corrects 6our
Stomach, cures Diarrhoea and Summer Com
plaint, corrects Indigestion, prevents fermen
tation of food in stomach and bowels.
Baby Elixir will carry your baby through the
dangerous teething period: prevents and cures
fretfulness and feverishness; insures natural
rest and sleep.
McGee’s Baby Elixir.—So harmless it should
be used freely to prevent diseases as well as to
cure. It can never do anything but good, so do
not hesitate to use it if there are any signs that
baby's digestion is out of order. Keep your
isaby's bowels in good order to insure health.
McGee’s Baby Elixir.—Just as good in winter
assummer; also recommended to delicate women
for sick stomach. Price, 25 and 50c.
