of ovarian troubles by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Dear Mrs. Pijtkham : — I heartily
recommend Lydia E. Pinkhajn’s
Vegetable Compound as a Uterine

four years with irregularities and
Uterine troubles. Ko one but those

three months. I was fully restored to
health and strength, and now my
periods are regular and painless.
What a blessing it is to be able to
obtain such a remedy when so many
doctors fail to help you. Lydia E.

I ever had. Very truly yours. Miss

are constantly publishing' from
grateful women prove beyond a
doubt the power of Lydia E.

Assistant Secretary Loomis of the
state department, in his article in
the Independent upon the situation
in San Domingo, puts his finger upon
the real danger in the situation wh<‘tl
he remarks that the debt of San Do
mingo is about $25,000,000, chiefly to
other countries than the United States,
and that the present state of affairs
can not last much longer without at
tracting foreign attention in a way
somewhat similar to the Venezuela af
fair This danger becomes more acute
In view of the recent surprising de
cision of The Hague tribuual, which
establishes the principle that powers
which resort to blockading and bom
barding as a means of collecting debts
may thereby secure a preference over
creditors who pursue a less violent
course. In the existing chaos in San
Domingo, where there is no established
government, and three or four different
factions representing different as
pirants for the presidency are contend
ing for the mastery, with the very
minimum of regard to the foreign or
neutral interests, there is danger that
any moment a situation may arise
which may give some foreign power a
pretext for intervention It comes to
pass, therefore, that although the
United Spates, as Mr. Loomis asserts,
has no idea whatever of annexing San
Domingo, and would be extremely re
luctant to enter upon the responsibility
of a protectorate over it, it may yet be
forced, and at no distant day, to adopt
the latter policy.—Boston Journal.
HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health Vs. Dieting.
A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:
"1 was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then I had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then ,
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times a
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to |
take a trip across the ocean, which I
did in the year 189H and came home
about as bad as when I started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was !
full of sores. Then I began to study
ray own case and learned of the diet j
recommended by the Postum Cereal j
Co., so I gave up cofiee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and
better until I am well now as I ever
was in my younger days, have no trou
ble and eat anything fit to eat.
“Sometimes away from home I am
persuaded to drink coffee, but I only
take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and
disagreeable to me, but the longer I use I
Postum the better I like it and the
better I feel. I could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum,
but think this will give everyone a
good idea of what leaving off coffee
and using Postum can do.” Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

SOME APPROPRIATE NAMES.
Eivers and Cities That Have Been
Given Comprehensive and
Fitting Titles.
The Atlantic Magazine contains
an article which deplores the in
appropriateness of names of
various rivers and cities in
the United States. The author
says that the St. Lawrence river
should be called the Niagara, but
admits that the Mississippi bears
its correct cognomen. In speak
ing of the cities he cites St. Louis
and New Orleans as ‘‘in need of
fresh appropriate names.” This
statement, says the St. Louis He
public, will appear a trifle odd to
those who are familiar with the
origin of these names and the his
torieal association with them. It
would seem that these two cities
bore names peculiarly appropri
ate. This city takes its name from
a former king of France and was
named when he held dominion
over a trackless country stretch
ing from the Mississippi river to
unknown distances to the west
and to the headwaters of the lord
ly stream. It was named by those
early traders w ho braved the dan
gers of the savages, to say noth
ing of a perilous voyage up the
great river in their efforts to plant
in this then wilderness the em
Idem of France and to perpetuate
the name and reign of King Louis.
St. Louis stands for the civiliza
tion of the trans-Mississippi coun
try through to the Pacific coast
and north to tin* Ilritish line.
New Orleans was named by the
French who settled at tin1 mouth
of the Father of W aters and who
planted the first standards of set
tlement and civilization. There
are few jieople who will agree
with the opinion regarding the
names of 1 hese two representative
American cities. While it may
be true that some are not compre
hensive or historical names for
cities, those of St. Louis and New
Orleans are good to the ear and
rich in meaning.
KITE FLYING IN THE ORIENT
A National Pastime Among the Peo
ple of Japan, China and
Korea.
Homemade kites satisfy the
American boy and afford him lots
of fun. but it is strange that he
does not invent an artistic and ns:
tional kite, such as they have in
Japan, i'hina and Korea, where
sill the flyers have a meaning. A
figure of an eagle or of Uncle Sam
with his arms outstretched would
be quite imposing.
In all these oriental countries,
says the I Detroit Free Press, kite
flying is a national pastime, and
thousands of people on holidays
gather upon the hills and watch
the sport.
In China the sport*ends on the
ninth month in a festival called
“ascending on high.” In Japan
and Korea the hoys only fly their
kites for 15 days out of the entire
year.
r>ut kiteflying in these countries
is quite secondary to kite lighting.
The tighting machines are made
on rectangular bamboo frames
covered with paper and have a
hole in the middle. They have no
tails, and the strings are of silk
dipjKMl in fish glue and powdered
with porcelain. The moment two
kites' strings are crossed, no mat
ter if one belongs to royalty itself,
the player must let out his line.
The string that is drawn tight is
sure to la* cut through. The in
slant a kite is cut down it is seized
by the small boys in the street.
China’s Millions.
The population of China has al
ways been a subject of dispute
among statisticians. The Chinese
government has now, however,
completed a census, the returns
of which show that the Chinese
empire is jteopled by 426,000,000
persons. The vast population is
very unequally distributed. Thi
bet, Mongolia, Turkestan , and
Manchuria are sparsely peopled,
but in the great provinces, such as
Shantung and Honan, every avail
able foot of soil is occupied.
CATARRH IS THE CAUSE
OF MOST KIDNEY DISEASES.
PE=RU=NA CURES CATARRH.
Captain James L. Dempsey, Captain 2nd Precinct
Troy Police Force, writes from 198 Ferry St-, Troy,
N. Y., as follows :
•‘From my personal experience w ith Peruna /
am satisfied it is a very fine remedy for catarrhal
affections, whether of the head, lungs, stomach
or pelvic organs. It cures colds quickly, and a
few doses taken after undue exposure prevents
Illness.
“Some of the patrolmen under me have also
found great relief from Peruna. It has cured
chronic cases of kidney and bladder troubles,
restored men suffering from indigestion and rheu
matism, and / am fully persuaded that it is an
honest, reliable medicine, hence I fully endorse
and recommend it.” JAMES L. DEMPSEY.
Officer A.C. Swanson writes from607 Harrison St.,
Council Bluffs, la., as follows:
“ Asmy duties compelled me to be out in all kinds
of weather I contracted a severe cold from time to
time, which settled in the kidneys, causing severe
pains and trouble in the pelvic organs.
“ I am now like a new man, am in splendid
health and give all praise to Peruna.”—A. C.
Swanson.
Samuel R. Sprecher, Junior Beadle Court Angelina,
3,4.i:J I. O. O. F., ‘J05 Kcw High St., Los Angeles, Cal.,
writes:
“ I came here a few years ago suffering with catarrh
of the kidneys, in search of health. I thought the
climate would cure me, but found I was mistaken.
But what the climate could not do Peruna could and
did do. Seven weeks’ trial convinced me that I had
the right medicine, and I w as then a well man. I
know of at least twenty friends and members of the
lodge to which / belong w ho have been cured of
catarrh, bladder and kidney trouble through the use
of Peruna, and It has a host of friends in this city."

(
Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Dis
ease—Kidney Trouble Often Fails to
Be Begarded as Catarrh by Physi
cians.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very com
mon indeed. It is a pity this fact is not
better known to the physicians as well
as the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They neveroueethinkof catarrh. Kid
ney disease and catarrh are seldom
associated in the minds of the people,
and, alas, it is not very often associated
in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh of the
kidneys. They doctor for something
else. " They try this remedy and that
remedy. The trouble may be catarrh
all the time. A few bottles of Peruna
would cure them.
Pe-ru-na Removes the Cause of the
Kidney Trouble.
Peruna strikes at the very centre of
the difficulty, by eradicating the catarrh
from the kidneys. Catarrh is the cause
of kidney difficulty. Remove the cause
and you remove the effect. With
unerringacouracy Peruna goes right to
the spot. The kidneys are soon doing
their work with perfect regularity.
Thousands of Testimonials.
Thousandsof testimonials from people
who have had kidney disease which had
gone beyond the control of the phy
sician are received by Dr. Hartman
every year, giving Peruna the whole
praise for marvelous cures.
Pe-ru-na Cures Kidney Disease.
Peruna cures kidney disease. The
reason it cures kidney disease is because
it cures catarrh. Catarrh of the kidneys
is the cause of most kidney disease.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever it hap
pens to be located. It rarely fails.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giviug a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
