Pink ham's Vegetable Conpound that I feel it a duty and a privilege to write 3-011 about it. " I suffered for over five years with ovarian troubles, causing an un pleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness would coma over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks —and saved me from an operation all my troubles had dis appeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true grateful feeling that is in my heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don't dally with medicines you know noth ing about, but take Lydia E.

Caroline, Aftemaril Iho (Inein of Gforftf IV. of Eniglaml, Wan Slov eul>- in the Extreme, To Vie delicately clean in clothes anil person is as much a matter of course to-day as is the habit of wear- j ing garments or shaking hands. That it was tfot always so. says London | Modern Society, we were reminded a day or two since when perusing a letter of the first earl of Malmes bury, written when that astute dip lomatist was sent to escort the Prin cess Caroline of Brunswick to Kng land to be the bride of the prince of Wales, afterward George IV. The way was long in those days, and hostile armies lay between Bruns wick and England. The princess, with her mother, the duchess (sister to King George III.), and escorted by Lord Malinesbury and a large retinue, set out on December 30. It was April before she was safely landed en British soil! Poor Lord Malmcs bttry did his best with his eccentric charge, and used the time in trying to fit the. ill-educated, unregulated girl, who even then took rank as the princess of Wales, for the perilous position into which .-he was to he thrust. He was distressed to find that Princess Caroline boasted that she could jump out of bed and appear en grande toilette in the course of 13 minutes. Remembering what toilet meant in the days of hoops and pow der. this seemed to him only about time enough to get a dairymaid ready for tilling the milking pail. He writes to his confidential friend, the then duke of Portland, in pathetic dis may: ''l have had two conversations wi'li Princess Caroline on cleanliness and on delicacy of speaking. On these points I endeavored, as far as was possible for a man, to inculcate the necessity of great and nice attention to every part of dress—as well as to what was hid as to what was to be seen. I know she wears coarse petti coats and coarse linen and thick stockings—and these never well washed nor changed often enough! I gave her credit for,her boast of *1 short toilet. What I could not say further on this point 1 got said through women, through Mmo Busehe and afterwards through Mrs. llarcourt. It is remarkable how amazingly her education has been neglected 011 this point, and how much her mother, although an Kng lish woman, was inattentive to it." The earl was a lit lie bit mistaken in that last remark. The duchess of Itrunswick, although the sister of King George 111., was as utterly Ger man in training and in ideas as she could possibly be. She inherited all the regrettable qualities of the first two Hanover kings, and she early married one of the most despicable of the petty potentates that swarmed in Germany under the somber shadow of Frederick the Great. It appears as if no woman ever born could have been fitted to be the wife of the profligate prince—lt would have needed the nature of an angel and the patience of a thousand .lobs to have put up with hiiu us a husband. Itnt in all Kurope there could not liuve been a creature less suited to reform Carlton house than I'rineess Caroline.

JANUARY 8 1903 The earl sums up the character of the unfortunate Caroline in these words: "She lias quick parts, without a dis tinguishing understanding; ready conception, but no judgment; caught by the first, impression, led by the first impulse. Talkative, prone to confide in missis]) friendships that last 24 hours. Some natural moral ity. but no strong notions of its value nor of its necessity. Without a grain of dignity or an idea of de corum." Was it mueh wonder that poor Caroline wrecked herself, and that she and her precious husband betwixt them nearly wrecked the English monarchy? SKIING IN AMERICA. Ami'riomi* Arc llncKunn! In Mjmynf Hi*" ttrrst Winter Sport* mid Ml as n l.ot of Fun. It is a mistake to suppose that ski ing can be enjoyed only by our Can adian friends, says Country Life in America. Everyone who lives in a hill country where there is any snow at all should try this exciting pas time. A pair of skis and a pole cost about a dollar and a half. The run ners are usually six or seven feet long, about four inches wide, and the pole may be ten or twelve feet in length. On account of the small ex pense and informal nature of the sport, skiing is just the thing for those parts of the United States where the winter is essentially a changeable sea son. Some sports may demand a steady winter; skiing does not. In certain parts of the United States ski ing has already "caught on." For ex ample, a good many of the Cornell students carry their skis to the class room and slide home on them. In the mining camps of the upper Michigan the Swedes and Norwegians come fly ing down their race-courses, shoot off a sort of spring-board, rise to a thrill ing height and achieve an astonishing leap before they tumble into the wait ing snowbank. Hut the ski is a good thing for everyday use and fun. One can pole along on the level fairly well in almost any kind or depth of snow, and on a crust skis are quicker than snow-shoes. Skis cost less than a good pair of skates or a good bob sled, and they furnish a novel meth od of sliding down bill. It is easy to learn. Two or three tumbles do the business. If you get one foot well ahead of the other you are certainly a "goner." The man who leans back is likely to have a laughable "mix up." It. is best to stand erect, or crouch forward so as to brace one self. The pole is trailed'behind and used to steer by. The people of the United States are provincial in the matter of winter sports. We have been missing "a lot of fun," and it is high time that we { look to skiing. Oeru|>at lon« unit 4'otnr of llnlr.

You advised a course of Peruna and Mana lin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonder ful remedies. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years' standing. At times I was almost past going.l com menced to use Peruna according to vour instructions, and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. ««Vour remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more.

This explains why Peruna has be come so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safe-guard. Peruna la the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but. an effective systemic rem edy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
