Rev. Marguerite St. Omer Briggs, 35
Mount Calm Street, Detroit, Michigan,
Lecturer for the W. C. T. U., recommends
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkram : — My professional work has for the past
twenty years brought me into hundreds of homes of sickness, and
I have had plenty of opportunity to witness the sufferings of wives
and mothers who from want, ignorance or carelessness, are slowly
but surely being dragged to death, principally with female weakness
and irregularities of the sex. I believe you will be pleased to know
that Lj clia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured
more women than any other agency that has come under my notice.
Hundreds of women owe their life and health to you to-day, and, there
fore, I can conscientiously advise sick women to try it.”—Marguerite
St. Omer Briggs.
$5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation,
weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bear
ing-down feeling, _ inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence,
general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should
remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.
No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and
unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures
of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice.
She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

“A Back Ikior Market.”
One was a well-known banker and the
other was a reporter of financial news and
views, and they were discussing the course
of the Amalgamated Copper company and
its management.
“What sort of a market do you call this?”
asked the reporter.
“A back-door market,” replied the
banker.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Why, T mean.” said the banker, “that
it’s a market when you go in at the front
door and then craw] out of (lie back door
while the public think you are still inside.”

The Boiler of the Locomotive of the
Denver Limited Exploded
at Victor, la.
THE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED.
Two Portent mill a Slight
ly Injured—While Every One of
the Seven Condics Wax IJerniled,
All of tlie Passengers Encnped
Without Injury.
Dos Moines, la., .Tail. 19.—A special
from Victor, la., says:
As the Denver limited passenger
train Xo. 5 of the Hock Island was
passing this town, Saturday morning,
at 5:55, the boiler of engine Xo. 501!
exploded, resulting in the death of
the engineer and fireman and slightly
injuring two porters and a brake
man. The killed are:
XV. Williams, of Brooklyn, engineer.
E. Hoar, of Valley Junction, fire
man.
The accident took place within 250
feet of the depot, and 1he noise of
Hie explosion aroused every person
in the town. The force of the explo
sion threw every one of the seven
coaches of the train from the track,
but only overturned the Des Moines
Pullman. Fortunately the passen
gers were uninjured. Pieces of the
wrecked engine were strewn around
for a distance of 200 feet and the
boiler was found 150 feet away from
the scene of the accident. The
causes leading up to the explosion
will never be known, owing to the
death of the engineer and fireman.
Superintendent Lawrences, of this:
division, arrived in a special at eight
o’clock from Des Moines and imme
diately proceeded to clear away the
debris. He refused to make any
statement with regard to the acci
dent. The bodies of the engineer and
fireman were horribly mangled and
were found only a short distance
away.
Train Xo. 5 does not stop at Victor.
Saturday morning the limited passed
through the village at a speed of 40
miles an hour. Three hundred feet
west of the station begins a slight
down grade which extends a mile to
Carnforth, where the llock Island
crosses Bear Creek. The accident oc
curred on this road.
Williams, the dead engineer, had
been in 1 He service of the Bock Is
land company for 28 years and was
regarded as one of the ablest in the
employ of the company. Saturday
morning's run was not his regular
one, he having taken it to accommo
date a brother engineer. For years
he was stationed at Stuart. la., but
in 1897 he moved to Rock Island,
where he had been stationed since.
PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.

Washington, Jan. 19.—Secretary
Hay has received a telegram from
Mr. Buchanan, president of the I'nit
ed States delegation at the Pan
American congress, fully confirming
the press reports that a complete un
derstanding has been reached on the
subject of arbitration before the
congress. This subject was the only
one promising serious difficulty in
adjustment!! and the officials are now
satisfied that the congress will be a
success. It is expected that, with this
last obstacle removed, such rapid
progress will be made in drawing ujf
the final protocol and affixing the sig
natures of the delegates that tlu:
congress will be able to adjourn
within the present month.

that men anxious to fight the cause
have found an 1 tire finding their way

show that he has captured, killed and

WINTER IS HERE
Bringing With it Catarrhal Diseases of
All Kinds—Pe-ru-na Cures.
A Singer’s
Experience. MISS maud PA'
Miss Maud Palmer, “The Willows,”
Cataraugi, Out., is a singer of local
note. She ■writes:
“I acknowledge with thank3 the
value of Peruna as a splendid remedy
in case of a severe cold. Last winter
i caught a cold and did not pay the
proper attention to it until it got so bad
that 1 could not attend to my regular
work. My aunt advised me to try Pe
runa and I commenced taking it at
once. Within three days I found great
relief, in ten days I was not entirely
well but my system was toned up. and
/ felt much stronger than l had before.
We keep it on hand, and if any mem
ber of the family feels sick a dose or two of Peruna is all that is needed to
cure.” MISS MAUD PALMER.
Winter is half over, People are con
tinuing- to catch colds, and not a house
but hears the winter cough. People
are trying to get something to cure
these troubles which are almost inev
itable at this time of the year. It can
safely be said that nine-tenths of the
people in the United States have a
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre
vent colds and cough and cure .them
with certainty when contracted. This*
remedy is Peruna. Taken with regu
larity during the winter months, it will
entirely prevent colds, coughs, It
grippe, consumption, bronchitis or
pneumonia. It will also cure without
failure catarrh and recent cases of
consumption, and olten in advanced
stages.
Everybody should have the 64-page
book on catarrh and winter diseases
which is being sent free by The Peruua
Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Peruua can be purchased at any first
class drugstore at $1.00 per bottle.

The Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
of Figs possesses this great advantage overall other remedies, that it does not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front
of every package.
