!Mrs. Anderson, Jacksonville,
Fla., daughter of Recorder of
Deeds, West, who witnessed her
signature to the following letter,
praises Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mrs. Pinriiam : — There are
but few wives and mothers who have
not at times endured agonies and such
pain as only women know. I wish
such women knew the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. It iati remarkable medicine,
different in action from any I ever
knew and thoroughly reliable.
“I have seen many cases where
women doctored for years without per
manent benefit, who were cured in less
than three months after taking your
Vegetable Compound, while others who
were chronic and incurable came out
cured, happy, and in perfect health
after a thorough treatment with this
medicine. I have never used it myself
without gaining great benefit. A few
doses restores my strength and appe
tite, and tones up the entire system.
Your medicine has been tried and
found true, hence I fully endorse it.”

Most Famous Singer in the World
Now in This Country.
Something of tlie I’llmn Donna'a
Sixty-One Yearn of Life—Started
Out as an Infant Prodigy—The
Daughter of Singers.
Fatti is back in America, and we are
glad to say she has brought with her her
old songs, “The Last Rose of Summer”
and “Home, Sweet Home.” At Patti
night without these would be very lack
ing in sentiment.
The songstress, though 61 years of
age, shows astonishingly little of the
usual marks of a long acquaintance with
Father Time—she looks not a day over
35. Her face Is smooth and fair, her ex
pression mirthfully joyous, her dark
eyes sparkling, her whole being sug
gestive of undiminished vitality. And
this after a long public career, it being
now 50 years and more that her voice
has been the wonder of the world.
Adelina Patti's fathernnd mother both
were celebrated singers, and the night
| she was born the mother sang in the
j opera of Norma, the parents starring at
the time in an opreatic engagement in
the city of Madrid. Soon after the birth
of this daughter, the family removed to
Italy, remaining there three years, and
then they set sail for America. Money
was needed, and little seven-year-old
Adelina was put on the stage, an infant
prodigy; and before the age of 12 giving
concerts in all the principal cities of the
United States. She sang difficult opera
airs, and her voice might have been
ruined had not a friend stepped in and
demanded two yearS of rest for the child.
At 16 she reappeared more.than ever of
a marvel.
Patti possesses an unusual memory,
and this has been of great aid in the dif
ficult task of singing all the principal
Italian operas in four or five different
languages. She has taken the heroine’s
ADELINA PATTI.
part in at least 30 different operas and,
in all her years of work, in all the dif
ferent places she ha3 appeared, has
failed but once or twice. The music
loving Russians fairly worship her, St.
Petersburg probably has witnessed her
greatest triumphs. In that city, at a
Patti concert gallery seats have been
known to sell at 10 robles each ($7.70)
and stalls at 100 robles. At one per
formance, some enthusiastic Russian
gentlemen showered upon the prima
donna flowers to the value of 6,000
robles.
All the fairies must have watched over
the cradle of Patti, for she was dowered
not only with a glorious voice, but also
with glorious beauty. With these two
gifts she has conqured the world, has
won people of many nations and tongues.
And that she is a born linguist has
aided considerably in gaining her wide
fame. Louis Engel, writing of her
triumphs in various lands, says the
Spaniards call her Spanish because she
was born in Madrid and speaks Spanish
so well; the Italians claim her most
reasonably because she was born of
Italian parents; the French consider her
French, and the wife of a Frenchman
and because of her perfect French ac
cent; the Americans say she came to
their country as a child, was educated
there, developed there, became a great
singer there—so it seems we can lay
pretty good claim to calling Patti an
American.
In the supposedly usual American
manner we certainly can make boast
that in the matter of financial support
we have not been behindhand in our ap
preciation. Patti has received larger
sums of money here for a single perform
ance than any other star has yet at
tained to. When the Auditorium was
opened In Chicago. Patti’s price for
singing “Home, Sweet Home” was $4,000.
At a Saturday matinee in Boston she
sang to an audience of 9,000 people, and
her share of that day’s receipts wa3
$8,993. In three perfomances in Boston,
I think it was, she added to her posses
sions the neat sum of $20,900. Her
earlier contracts with Col. Mapleson
gave her $5,000 for each night’s work.
Patti's voice is a marvellously pure
and rich soprano. Engel says of her that
she sings like a thrush, a lark, a night
ingale, and apparently as easily.

‘‘Some four years ago an attack

I have suffered off arid on ever

across the small of my back,
always more severe in the

Mrs. George Wallace, Jr.,

“In March, 1897, 1 was cured
of kidney and bladder trouble
by Doan’s Kidney I'ills. My
physician said at that time that
my life could be saved only
by an operation. Night after
night I had been kept awake
for hours at a time with ter
rible pain in my back, and the
secretions from the kidneys
were in as bad a state as pas*
sible. I suffered with hemor
rhages frequently and was in
a weak state. Four boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me,
and I now gladly rcCndorsc the
remedy, because during the
time which has since elapsed,
nearly seven years, 1 have never
had the slightest sign of a
return of the trouble.”

A Remarkable Woman#
Kokomo, hid., Nov. 23.—Mrs. Anna M.
Willis, of this place, a charming old lady
of 74 years, has given for publication a
very interesting letter.
Mrs. Willis is widely known and high
ly respected, and the recommendation snc
gives is well worth the consideration of
anyone who may be interested. Mrs.
Willis’ address is K. R. No. 6, Kokomo.
Her letter reads as follows:
"I have been troubled with Kidney
Trouble for 20 years. It was so bad that
it affected my heart and my back. It
hurt so that 1 could not get up when
down, and 1 began to think that I would
be past doing anything. 1 was recom
mended to get Dodd's Kidney Pills and
purchased some at the drug store of Mr.
G. E. Meek. After using several boxes,
I was completely restored. 1 feel twenty
years younger, and am able to do all the
usual work in the house and garden which
a person who lives on the farm has to do,
although I am 74 years of age.”
