Statisticians have been estimating
at OO.OOO.OuD the lncroated loveiiue to
American faiiueis fiom the pnehanccd
ptlcc of wheat This cereal last ciossed
the dollar lino In 1891, and since then
the glade ot pi Ices has been between
48 and 04 tents, the difference being
lepresented to some extent, of course,
by the vatous gtades of wheat. An
estimate which wa.s put forth a year
ago by a government authority gave
the value of tho wheat crop of the
United Staes last year as J2.'0,000,000,
and when tho facts Is taken Into con
sldetatlon that manv ot the fatmeis
sold their pioduct this yeat befote tho
Iticteased prices became cut rent, and
that No '1 wheat was sold lust year
for 94 cents, It Is cxtiemely doubtful
whether the gain to tho fanners, over
what they reielved for their wheat last
iear, compared with what they aie ie
celvlng this year, Is more than $100,
000,000; but such us tho gain is, be It
$100,000,000 or $00,000,000. It comes most
opportunely to tho fat met. s ot the
United States.
Wheat Is one of the big crops of the
United Staes. and has bounded ahead

Interest of the United Staes have de

of 100,000.000 bushels, In I860 a ciop
of 173,000,000 bushels, In 1870 one of
200,000,000 bushels. In ISM) one of 430,
000,000 bushels, and In 1891 ono of 010,
000.000 bushels. About 400,000,000 is the
average crop, and the United States

Why will woman drnfr out n
sickly, half-hearted existcnco
and miss three-quarters of tho
joy of living, when sho has
health almost within her grasp ?
it she does not vnlue her good
looks, docs she not voluo her
comfort ?
Why, tny siller, will you suf
fer that dull pain in tho small of
your back, those bearing-down,
drngging sensations in the loins,
that terrible fullness in tho lower
bowel, caused by constipation pro
ceeding from the womb lying over nnd
pressing on the rectum ? T)o yon know
that these are signs of displacement, anil
Unit you will never be well while that
lasts? 1 1
What a woman needs who is thus af
fected is to strengthen the ligaments so
they will kcop her organs in place. Thcro
is nothing better for this purpose than Ljdhi 11. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. The great volume of testimony which is constantly rolling In, proves
that the Compound is constantly curing thousands of just such eases.
The following letter from Mrs. Marlovv is only one of many thousands which
Mrs. Pinkhain has received this year from those she has relieved surely such
testimony is convincing: '
"My trouble commenced nfter the birth of my Inst child. I did not
know wha was the matter with me. My husband went to our family xhysi
clau and described my symptoms, and ho said I had displacement and falling
of tho womb. He sent me some medicine, but it did little good. I let it go
on about two years, nnd every time I did nny hard work my vvcjmb would
come down. Finally a laely friend advised me to try Lydia, E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which I did. The iirst bottle helped mc fio much, I con
tinued to take it right along. My buck was almost the same as no back. I
could not lift scarcely any weight. My life was just ti drag to me. To-day
I urn well of mv womb trouble, and havo a good, -strong back, thanks to
Mrt. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Miss. L. Maw.ow, Miiford, III.
