I wish all success to the Compound; it has done wonders for me, and I
The story is the same, no matter what her station in life
may be.
If she is one of the favored daughters of wealth, —
If she belongs even to the realm of the “ well-to-do,”
Or— -
If she belongs to the unnumbered thousands who must
work in order to live— ■ JW3 ■■•■•*’^-
The story is just the same; all stiffer from about the
same eause, and in this suffering “peculiar to women,” all
reach the same level, and all are of the same family.
When a woman is nervous and irritable, head and back
ache, feels tired all the time, loses sleep and appetite, has
pains in groins, bearing-down sensation, whites and irregu-
larities, she is not “ worn out/’ but feels as if she were.. •
a Such symptoms tell her that a womb trouble is imminent,
and she cannot act too promptly if she values her future
comfort and happiness.
The experience and testimony of some of the most noted
women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Veg^t^ble Compound will correct all such
trouble at once by removing the cause and. restoring the
organs to a healthy and normal condition. If in doubt, write
Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., as thousands do.
MRS. KELLOGG’S STATEMENT.
*• One year ago I read a letter in a paper telling how much good one
wosiao had derived from Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com*
pound. I had been sick all winter, and was nearly
discouraged, as the medicine the doctor gave me did me
110 good. I had kidney complaint, leucorrhcea, itching,
i/f VI bearing-down reeling, and painful menstruation. I
\\ wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, describing my trouble, and
IraL soon received an answer telling me what to do. I fol-
v|IB y lowed her instructions and have taken nine bottles of
Vegetable Compound and used one package of San-
ative Wash and one box of Liver Pills. I am well
now, do not have those sick spells at the monthly
period, but can work all day, and that I never could
do until I began taking the Compound. I cannot
praise the Compound too highly.
1 “ I do hope every suffering woman will learn of
the Pinkham remedies and be cured as I have been.

day’s meeting of the ministers called to
consider if Li Hung Chang and Prince
Cheng had power from the court to con-
duct negotiations for a settlement on be-
half of China, some of the ministers
stated they were authorized, to treat with
them as representatives of China, while
others, including the German minister, had
not received instructions in the matter.
All decided, how’ever, that as soon as Sir
Ernst Masen Satow, the British minister,
shall receive word to agree to a joint vote,
they will commence negotiations with Li
Hung Chang and Prince Ching, unless oth-
erwise instructed by their home govern-
ments.

lance and domination.
“The United States means to set a Gib-
raltar on the Nicaragua cana.l, whatever
it may cost, and to attain this end some
of the senators are reviving again the
maxim dear to Chamberlain, that a treaty
should not prevail against the interests
of a people. The American people have
no understanding why the restrictions laid
by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty on the exer-
cise of the right of digging the- trans-
oceanic canal should not be abolished by
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
“The American secretary of foreign af-
fairs already has need of much tact to
make his fellow citizens pardon, bis last
effort for English sovereignty and for the
English cabinet. It is difficult to see how
he will persuade the senate to give up- an
important advantage for a question of
principle.”

Louisville, Ky., Dec. 11.—Delegates to
the American Federation of Labor con-
vention evidently wore their “fighting
clothes” this morning. A motion to omit
■the roll call, owing to- a mere sprinkling
of delegates being in the hall at 9 o’clock,
offered the first opportunity to show their
■spirit and received a vigorous negative,
and spicy argument marked the session
throughout. A Rosewood gavel was pre-
sented to President Gompers by the Cen-
tral Labor union of Louisville, and
convention took up the argument of
resolutions. Under a Suspension of
rules a resolution was presented. by
cigar makers’ delegation and immediately
adopted by the convention denouncing the
efforts of resistance to keep out of cigar
■factories in Tampa members of the Cigar
Makers’ International union. The support
of the Federation is pledged to the unions
of Tampa in their efforts to secure and
maintain their rights.

Capt. James Peet has always had a
weakness for attending auctions and buy-
ing old furniture. Yesterday he wandered
into the auction rooms of a local firm and
bought an upholstered chair for 50 cents.
He carried it home and in the evening be-
gan to take off the upholstering on the
seat to put on a new cover,
ripped the leather he was astonished to
find a roll of bills. It had been in the old
chair so long that it had become moldy.
There .were fives and tens, but most of the
bills were ones. There was $450 in all.
auctioneers do not remember where
they got the chair. It is believed that
some old person concealed the mon'ey for
safe keeping and died suddenly without
telling where it w'as secreted. •
