When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disordci is tuld that an operation is necessary, it of coursa
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon’s knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, this fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
COULDN’T GET HIS BEARINGS
Somewhat Humiliating Experience of
Writer Who Succeeded in Getting
Lost In His Own House.
I had been writing during the eve-
ning at my desk in the sitting-room.
1 knew that it was a late hour, for my
eyes were tired. My wife and her sis-
ter. who was visiting us. had retired
early. I leaned back In my chair and
heard the clock strike twelve. I put
out the light and started for the
stairway and for our chamber on the
second floor.
Goodness! how dark It was! There
was no tnoon. the rain was fulling,
every light was out and, worse luck.
I hud no matches with me. I groped
slowly, with both hands horizontal in
front. As I thought to touch the
casing or the draperies, 1 was brought
up against a stand, and books and pa-
pers fell on the floor. I said some-
thing and groped in a different direc-
tion—this time against the center ta-
ble. ami pictures, easels, cabinet pho-
tographs and what not hit the floor.
“I think it’s time I went to bed.”
said I, as 1 got down on mr hands
and knees to pick things up. I liad
tipped over the work basket, and
spools of thread rolled away from my
fingers in every direction. I pawed
around, found a few pictures, a pair
of Bcissors and some rags, and then I
j couldn’t find either tho basket or the
! table.
Bang! My bald head had located
: tho. back of the big rocking chair. I
j had crawled between the rockers,
j My! what a bump I got. I crawled
I backward after that. My feet hit the
piano stool. Now, here was a starting
i point. Any idiot could find the stairs
now-. I felt the piano and knew It
was ou the north side of the parlor,
but now it seemed to be on the south
' side. I was turned around all right,
and I wondered if I was upside down.
I had no desire to wake up the girls,
; you can bet on that. I started and
backed into the plant stand under the
j big windows. Over went the Christ-
j mas cactus and four geraniums.
"Well," Bald I, "1 guess it’s safer to sit
j still and wait for daylight." Just then
1 t heard my wife’s sister scream from
i the upper hall:
| “John! Mary! There's somebody
in the house!”
Mary appeared at the head of the
1 stairs with a (welcome) light.
"John?”
"Yes,” I replied.
"Any trouble?”
"Naw. Maybe the cat is trying to
havp a fit.”

Antiquity of Oil.
It has recently been pointed out
that the use of oil for lighting and
I heating purposes is of very ancient
| origin, and It Is only necessary to re-
I call the parable of the ten virgins
to notice that oil was widely known
In the early days of the Christian era.
although it is probable that at that
time the oil was of vegetable origin,
ard obtained from rapeseed, nuts and
olives; but If petroleum oil was not
used the "City of Eternal Fire"
(Baku) and its fire temple xvere well
known to travelers of the olden time,
and many other sources were known
In the Ionian Islands, Burmah and
the Eastern Archipelago. Within the
last century, and particularly during
the latter half of it, oil has been dls4
covered i'i almost ail parts of the
world, principally in sub-tropical re-
gions, and there appears to be n
chain of petroleum-bearing earth
which follows more or less closely the
chain of the volcanic regions. The
origin of petroleum Is obscure, but
generally It may be stated that or-
ganic remains of plants or animals,
when subjected to decomposition fol-
lowed By distillation at a low tem-
perature, produce a petroliferous, tar-
ry substance which closely resembles
natural petroleum.

“Daughter,” said the anxious father

"Yes, father, 1 have,” demurely re-

"I hear the ice man proposed to

"He did."
"And you accepted him, of course
"1 did not."
“Unwise child! Think of the money
he coins every summer!"
"The plumber also proposed "
"Ah! That is better. A man of
untold wealth garnered every winter.
Beyond doubt you told him ‘yes!’”
“No, father.”
"Wha-a-a-t? Do you mean to tell

slip by ungrasped?"
“Yes. father. You see, 1 accepted a
man who sells ice in summer and is
a plumber in winter.”
“Ah, daughter! Fly to my arms!

Laurel, Miss.—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Lucile McElroy says: I
was sick for three years, with back-
ache, headache, pains In my stomach
and back, low down. At times I could
not do a thing, I was so weak.
After I was iffhrried, I thought I
would try Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
and after using two or three bottles,
I couldn't tell one day from another
—felt good all the time.
I not only still use Cardui, but ad-
vise every lady I think needs It, to
give it a trial, and several whom I
have persuaded, say they have ob-
tained great relief.
Another good thing I have noticed
about Cardui is that it fills out hol-
lows under the eyes, which are sunk-
en as if from a bad spell of sickness.
It fleshens up a woman’s eyes, and
makes them look bright and plump.
Many a woman would be pretty if It
were not for "her sunken-ln eyes.
I believe that Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, is the only treatment for worn-
en.”
Do you suffer from womanly trou-
ble? If so, give Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, a trial.
Judging from the experience or a
million other women who have been
benefited by this remedy, It should
surely do you good.

822 Georgia Ave., East Nashville,

months old when he began to break
out in small red pimples like heat
rash, afterward turning into festers.
They gradually spread until his little
head, face, groins and chest, his head
being most affected, became a mass
of sores with a great deal of corrup- |
tion. It became offensive and gradual-
ly grew W'orse. I kept a white cap on
him to keep him from scratching, it
seemed to itch so badly. It made him
cross and his chest and groins would
often bleed.
“Nothing seemed to help It. and I
had almost come to the conclusion
that my baby’s case was hopeless,
when hearing of the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment, I decided to try it.
I noticed at once that baby rested bet-
ter. I continued it for a few weeks and
my baby was entirely cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. They cured
where all others failed.” (Signed)

physician.
“Yes but I don’t enjoy my sleep.”

owe to all suffering women to tell
what Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound did for me. One year ago
I found myself a terrible sufferer.
I had pains in both sides and such a
soreness 1 could scarcely staighten
up at times. My back ached, I had
no appetite and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so
tired mornings that I could scarcely
get around. It seemed almost im-
possible to move or do a bit of work
and I thought 1 never would bo any
better until 1 submitted to un opera-
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
soon felt like a new woman. I had
no pains, slept well, had good appe-
tite and was fat and could do almost
all my own work for a family of
four. I shall always feel that I owe
my good health to your medicine.”

Blasting Buried Oak.
A rich find of black oak has been
made on a farm ne.^r Hull, England.
The farm recently changed hands and
the new owners decided to clear away
a wood i.hich stood upon it. In ex-
cavating to remove tree roots, the
workmen discovered several trunks
of black bog oak, and further Investi-
gation revealed hundreds of trunks
of oak under the ground. They were
In splendid condition and had evi-
dently been buried a century or more.
It is customary to bury oak In order
to Uirn it black, and thus increase Its
value. Evidently that had been done
in this case, but the death or re-
moval of the proprietor of the farm
caused it to be forgotten, and it lay
undisturbed, and other trees were
planted on the top of it. So great Is
the quantity and so compactly is It
buried that explosives aro being used
[ to loosen it. The value of the oak is
believed to be considerable.
