THIS WOMAN’S
TROUBLES GONE
Terrible Cramps, Dizzy Spells
Nervousness, Misery—Her
Story of How She Got
Well Again.
Hindsboro, III. - “ Your remedies have
relieved me of all my troubles. i would
have such bearing down misery and
cramps and such weak, nervous, dizzy
spells that I would have to go to bed.
Some days I could hardly stay up long
enough to get a meal.
“The doctor’s medicine did me no good
so I changed to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound and got g/.od results
from the first bottle. I kept on taking
it and used the Sanative Wash with it,
until I was well again. I think every
woman who suffers as I have, could take
no better medicine.”- Mrs. Cham.es
Mattison, Box 68, Hindsboro, III.

of it. I always rec-

Cathlamet, Wash.
The makers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound have thousands of-
such letters as those above—they tell the
truth, else they could not have been ob-
tained for love or money. This medicine
is no stranger—it has stood the test for
years.

The tower* and pyramids built by
the Mayas, the ancient civilized in-
habitants of Mexico, who flourished
before the Aztecs, are the greatest
jy I 3-tfwohders of antiquity in America.
(An Interesting theory, now strong-
ly held by scientists and scholars of
the Smithsonian Institution, is that
the Mayas are descended.from the an-
cient people of Babylon who were dis-
persed over the face of the earth aft-
er the capture of that famous city by
Cyrus. ;■
If this be so, then the ancient Mayas
built the tower of Babel of the Bible,
and those Inhabitants of the earth
were In a sense Americans. This view
is confirmed in a great degree by the
extraordinary resemblance between
the ruined towers and pyramid* of
Babylonia and those built by the
Mayas in Yucatan. In addition to this
there Is other evidence that the Mayas
came from somewhere in Asia.
The tower of Babel was the largest
one of many a similar structure of
pyramids? shape in Babylon which
were crowned with temples. But
where the ancient Assyrians con-
structed scores of such terraced tow-
ers the Mayas built thousands, many
of them of huge size and of substan-
tially the same pattern—likewise up-
holding temples on their platform
summits.
According to the Maya legend,
Xeihuc, one of the seven giants who
survived the deluge, erected a pyra-
midal tower of enormous height for
the purpose of storming heaven. But
the offended gods destroyed the lan-
guages of the builders.
The pyramids of Yucatan ar© square
or rectangular In shape. Some are
nearly one hundred feet high, and the
largest is more than five hundred feet
square. They have sloping sides,
Some are nearly vertical, and many
rise In steps. Faced with stone and
dressed smooth or plastered and em
belllshed with sculptures, they are as-
cended by steep stairways on one or
more sides. The interior mass is of
earth and stones, or of stones and
mortar. In some cases the slopes were
filled In to a smooth slant.
The loftiest is the pyramid of El
Castillo, or the Castle, at Chlchen Itza,
which Is of the stepped type. The
largest and most Imposing is the so-
called governor's palace, at Uxmsl,
which stands on a natural elevation
artificially heightened by stone blocks
and rising in three terraces. It is
considered by ethnologists the most
important prehistoric structure in
America. The building, 320 feet leng,
40 feet deep and 26 feet high. Is cov-'
ered with a marvelous elaboration of
sculpture, one belt of which, ten feet
wide, running entirely around the pal-
ace, contains 20,000 stones, nearly ev-
ery one of them a separate work of
art.

Tasmanian Niagara,
Shannon. At this outlet a new com-
pany, which has recently been formed,
is constructing a weir to regulate the
flow. The water will then be diverted
from the Shannon into a lagoon, from
which steel pipes will be laid so as to
create an effective fall of water for
over 1,000 feet vertical.
Nature's disposition in this region
allows of the mechanical connivance
of engineers in this manner both sim-
