Having successively disclosed the hy

ical science has now turned its atten
tion to the perils that beset the philate
list's art. According to Dr. I'nna, a
patient was recently attacked by a pe
culiar parasitic growth in the" beard.
On mnklng a minute examination ot
some of the hairs the doctor recog
nized the disease us "plodrn," which is
chiefly met with in British Columbia.
The doctor's friend had never been in
Columbia, but he frequently received
letters from correspondents there, and,
.being a collector of postage stamps, lie
was in tho habit of removing them from
the letters. In Dr. I'nim's onlnlon the
gum on a postage stump Is an excel
lent material for retaining any disease
Kerms that It may receive from the ap
plication of the tongue, nnd in remov
ing stamps even when the moistening
is aone witn a sponge there is always
a danger that the collector's fingers
tnay receive and communicate the con
lamination.

" I ohvay.-t enjoyed gM health un 1
til bix month:! before the birth of my I
bubo. Then 1 was very weak: my back j
ttched ull the time. My physicians
said I would be ull right utter the birth j
of tho child, but I was not. although !
at that time 1 had the best of care. 1
Tho pains in my back were ultuost tin 1
boa ruble. 1 had leueorrhcca lu its j
worst form; uicnsiruatious were pain- ,
ful. , . . ;
Any work or care would entirely
unncr .g me. vt hen my bub was 11
nionhs old, friends persuaded mo to
take Lydia E. Piukliam' Vctable
Compound, llefore I had taken one
bottle I felt the effects. My back did
not ache so badly, and 1 felt Strong.
After taking1 four bottles t felt well.
My ambition returned, menstruation
were painless, leucorrhcea entirely
cured, and I could take care of my
babe and do my housework. . I shall
always recommend your Vegetable
Compound for all women, especially
for young mothers." Meg. II. . L.
Gooi.d, Orejron. Wis.
If Mrs. Coold had been well before
the birth of her child,, subsequent
suffering' would hnva been avoided.
Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com
pound should always be taken befcrt
and after birth, in order that the j
system may withstand the shock.
