Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Sir:—
I was a terrible sufferer from
pelvic weakness and had headache
continuously. 1 was not able to do my
llousevvTirk for myself and husband.
I wrote you aud described my condi
tion as nearly as possible. You recom
mended l’eruna. I took four bottles of
it and was completely cured. 1 think
Peruna a wonderful medicine and have
recommended it to my friends with the
•very best of results.
Esther M. Milner.
Very few of the great multitude of
women who have been relieved of some
pelvic disease or weakness by Peruna
ever consent to give a testimonial to be
read by the public.
There are. however, a few courageous,
self-sacrificing women who will for the
sake of their suffering sisters allow
their cures to be published.
Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her
gratitude for her restoration to health
she is willing that
the women of the
whole world should
know it. A chronic
invalid brought back
to health is no small matter. Words
are inadequate to express complete
gratitude.

chapel. There was a large attendence
of visiting ministers anti patrens from
all parts of the state. A number of

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Burning Off Paint Makes Insurance
Void.
It seems tliat considerable danger to
property exists in the practice of
burning oft' old paint before re-paint
ing. The question has long been a
Subject of debate in the technical
journals, and now householders and
the newspapers have begun to discuss
it. Those of us who, with trembling,
have watched the painters blow a
fiery blast from their lamps against
our houses, and have looked sadly at
the size of our painting bill because
of the time wasted on this prelimin
ary work, are interested in the in
vestigation by the Greenfield (Mass.)
Gazette and Courier, which gives con
siderable space to the reasons for the
practice, questions its necessity and
suggests ways to prevent the risk of
burning down one's house in order to
get the old paint off. It says:
“There is a good deal of discussion
among householders as to the desir
ability, in painting houses, of burning
off the old paint, a practice that has
grown very common of late in Green
field and elsewhere. Insurance men
are strongly opposed to this method.
It makes void insurance policies for
fires caused in this manner. Several
houses in Greenfield have gotten afire
as the result of this method, and in
some places houses have burned as a
result.
“It is undoubtedly true that when
a house has been painted over and
over again there comes to be an ac
cumulation of paint in bunches. If
new paint is put on top of these ac
cumulations it is almost sure to blis
ter. To burn it off is the quickest
and cheapest and perhaps the surest
method of getting rid of this old
paint.”
The Gazette and Courier quotes cer
tain old patrons to the effect that ac
cumulations of paint are unnecessary.
These old-timers lay the blame partly
on the painter who fails to brush his
paint in well, partly on the custom of
painting in damp weather or not allow
ing sufficient time for drying between
coats, and partly to the use of adulter
ated paints instead of old-fashioned
linseed oil and pure white lead. The
paper says:
"Many of the old householders say
that if care is taken at all these points
it is absolutely unnecessary to have
paint burned off. They advise that
people who have houses painted should
Jniy their own materials, and to have
them put on by the day, so as to be
sure to get good lead and oil. Of
course the burning off of paint greatly
increases the cost of the job."
The trouble householders everywhere
have with paint is pretty well summed
up by our contemporary, and the
causes are about the same every where.
By far the most frequent cause of the
necessity for the dangerous practice
of burning old paint is the use of poor
material. The oil should be pure lin
seed and the white lead should be real
white lead. The latter is more often
tampered with than the oil. Earthy
substances, and pulverized rock and
quartz, are frequently used as cheap
encrs, to the great detriment of the
paint.
Painters rarely adulterate white
lead themselves and they very seldom
use ready prepared paints—the most
frequent causes of paint trouble. But
they do often buy adulterated white
lead because the property owner in
sists on a low price and the painter
has to economize somewhere. The
suggestion is therefore a good- one
that the property owner investigate
the subject a little, find out the name
of some reliable brand of white lead,
and see that the keg is marked with
that brand.
The linseed oil is more difficult to
be sure of. as it is usually sold in
bulk when the quantity is small; but
reliable makers of linseed oil can be
learned on inquiry, and, if your dealer
is reliable, you will get what veil want.
Pure white lead and linseed oil are
so necessary to good paint that the
little trouble necessary to get them
well repays the house owner in dollars
and cents saved.
Unique Election Cry.
A wooden-legged candidate for the

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black Spotches All Over Face—Af
fected Parts Now Clear as Ever—
Cured by the Cuticura Rem
edies.
“About four years ago I was afflict
ed with black splotches all over my
face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that I was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough exami
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. I
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Reme
dies not only cured me of that dread
ful disease, eczema, but other compli
cated troubles as well. Lizzie E.

Tiled, Neivous Mother
MaKe Unhappy Homes—Their Condition Irritat
Both Husband and Children—How Thousands
of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous
Prostration and Made Strong and Well.
—___^
J!4rs. CJ?as. T^Srown
A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenth* of the nervous prostration, ner
vous despondency, “ the blues,” sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying ?
Do you feel something like a ball ris
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you ; all the senses perverted,
morbidiy sensitive to light and sound :
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Chester Curry, Leader of the
Ladies’ Symphony Orchestra, 42 Sara
toga Street, East Boston, >la5S
writes: ''
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ For eight years I was troubled with
treme nervousness and hysteria, brought on
by irregularities. I could neither enjoy life
nor sleep nights; I was very irritable, ne'rvou,
and despondent.
“ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
was recommended and proved to be the iJ?
remedy that helped mo. I have daily inf
proved in health until I am now strong and
well, and all nervousness has disappeared"
Mrs. Charles F. Brown, Viee-Presi- !
dent of the Mothers’ Club, 21 Cedar
Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: 1
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam:—
“ I dragged through nine years of miser
able existence, worn out with, pain and ner- '
vousness, until it seemed as though I should
fly. 1 then noticed a statement of a wonam
troubled as I was, and the wonderful results
she derived from Lydia E. Piukham's Vege
table Compound. I decided to try it, 1 did so
and at the end of three months I was a differ
ent woman. My nervousness was all gone I
was no longer irritable, and my husband fell
in love with me all over again.”
Women should remember t'hat Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is
the medicine that holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures of
female ills, and take no substitute.
