Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Hayes* First Letter Appealing’ to Mrs. Pinkliam for Help:
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkitam • — I have been under Boston doctors’ treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends
up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab
domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time.
“Tlifi svmutnms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine — which she knew would help her —
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
“Dear Mrs. Pinioiam: — Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. \ ou replied, and I followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. .
“ The use of Lydia Ik Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely
•expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now. . ,, _ , T
“ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with, tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.” —(Signed) Mrs.
E. F. IIayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony— or take
the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkliam s
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all
ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and em
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let
ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Iler gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too
great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don t for
get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else.

A MILLIONAIRE’S MAIL.
Extract from the Journal of a Very
Wealthy Man.
In “The Journal ol' a Millionaire,’’
by George Hibbard, in the Century, is
the following:
August 17. The work of going
through the morning mail is always
trying enough. Even with my sec
retary to sift it, there is much 1 must
read. Not a day passes without prop
ositions, entreaties, threats, to say
nothing of constant abuse.
I have always held the belief that
each American city should have its
park, the nearer to the center of the
city the better. It is a place of rest
for working people, a playground for
the children. Nothing, 1 am con
vinced, can do more good than such
breathing-places. Whenever 1 have
found any considerable community
parkless, I have given one at once.
Generally I have discovered that
they wanted something else and had
no hesitation in saying so. Last week
1 gave the money for a park to the
city of C-. To-day J received a
letter from the mayor saying that the
place does not wish one, but that a
union railway station is much desired.
He writes that there is a good deal of
feeling about parks. A number of
the more conservative maintain that
the creation of one will lead to idle
ness and a lessening of restraint. A
quantity of newspapers also arrived
in which I was vigorously censured
for trying to pauperize a self-respect
ing and industrious community. The
mayor adds, however, that he will take
the park if I do not see my way to giv
ing them something else.
Another trouble that 1 have
is with heirlooms. Hardly a day
passes but some one wants to sell me
his oldest and most cherished posses
sions, the sentiment connected with
which being always one of the things
counted in the price. They take the
form of family portraits, lace, jewelry,
silver, books. Many seem to think
that I am a bric-a-brac shop. Of
course it is always suggested that I
should naturally wish to possess the
object because of its rarity or beauty,
but the need and poverty of the seller
are always plainly and painfully
stated. Such reading is far from
pleasant, and I often go about all day
feeling like a brute for having disre
garded some more than usually touch
ing appeal.
oome oi me imngs are unaoumea
]y genuine. Still, with the stables
full of “fakes” that 1 have accumu
lated, what am I to do? In buying
such things, ami not as often encour
aging a fraud as helping the worthy?
And to-day’s mail brings me a notice
from a lawyer saying that he is about
to sue me to obtain the true value of
a portrait sold to me by a minor—a
picture which I did not want, of
course, and which J gave to the His
torical society. The claim was that
the picture was painted by Gilbert
Stuart—the portrait of which histor
ical character of the revolution 1 for
get. I have since found out that it is
nothing of thekind. 1 shall have to
compromise for a large sum, 1 sup
pose. No jury would give me a fair
hearing.
This did not make me feel very
amiable, and 1 opened the rest of the
letters impatiently. One was from
the man who used to tutor me in col
lege. He is in debt, he says, and
wishes to get married. The college
will give him a position if he pays all
that he owes. He wants me to lend
him that sum so that he can take the
place. It is a typical request. . . .
But there was one letter that caused
me real alarm, and has rendered me
uneasy ever since. It was from some
scoundrel or other who pretends that
he knows of a plot to kidnap .Miss
Landon. The w*rld generally sup
poses that we are engaged, and the
scheme, he says, is to “strike” me for
i great sum. I cannot believe that
this can be true, but as to such a thing
I dare not take any chances. Any
way I am perfectly wretched.

A new club is being organized at
the town of Kazan under the nameof
“Do Not Shake Hands.” Tim orig
inator is one of the most prominent
barristers. On meeting each other
the members of this club are not to
shake hands, but make obehance.
Before ladies the obeisance is to be
more reverent and the bow very
deep. If a handsome lady extends
her hand the club member is to touch
it gently with his lips.

WONDERFUL WORK.
Case No. IS,977.—David M. Bye, T.
O. Address Box 297, Midland, Mich.,
says: “Three months I was al
most incapacitated from labor; could
not sleep at night; had to walk the
lloor, owing to terrible pain in the
hips, in the small of the back, in my
instep and ankle of the right leg.
“I was treated for sciatic rheuma
tism in the hospital, but received no
benefit. One month ago I returned
home and was given a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills. To-day residents of this
city can bear witness to the fact that
1 am able to work, and can also walk to
my work without the aid of a walk
ing-stick or crutch.
“In speaking of the immediate ef
fect of Doan’s Kidney Pills, 1 did not
find them to deaden the pain, but
quickly and surely to eradicate the
cause of it.
“I am of the opinion that Doan's
Kidney Pills is the best remedy for
kidney ailments that can be pro
cured. I was especially careful in
my diet, in order to give the treatment
fair play.
“In conclusion, I shall be pleased, at
any time, to answer any inquiries re
garding my case, from anyone desir
ous of obtaining it.”
A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney
medicine which cured Mr. Bye will
be mailed on application to any part
of the United States. Address Fos
