PretaiAM: It is with plensure that I add my testimony to your list, hoplnjr that it may induco others to nvall themselves of your val uablo medicine. "After the birth of my little girl, thrco years ago, my hcnlth was very poor. 1 had leucorrhcoa badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dir.zy feelings. Men struations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks. " I took medicine from a good doctor, but It seemed to do no good. I wai becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent nt onco for a bottle of Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com pound, and nfter taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. " I think it la tho best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, nnd recommend it to every lady I meet suf fering from this trouble."

Under this heading short letters of In terest will be nubllshed when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. The Tribune will not be hold rc uponslblo for opinions here expressed. Politics in the Seal. Editor of Tho Tribune, Sir: This Is tho head of an article In a Sunday paper reflecting iiikiii the ue tlon of Hon. William Council in causing tho appointment of a second board i t examiners for pensions in this city. Tho arliclo accuses oar congressman of an at tempt to ova de the civil service rules. Now, as a matter of fact, the position of examiner for pensions lias always been a polltcal one. Upon a change of admin istration tho old boards have been uni versally turned out and new boards of a different political complexion appointed. When Grover Cleveland was elected and moved by his sympathy for the survivors of the war of tho rebellion appointed uu ex-Confcdcrate commissioner of pen sions, tho Democrats of this county at least, lost no time In ousting tho old board and causing the appointment of a new one consisting ol Democrats entirely. Now when retributive. Justice overtook Grover, and ho saw his political grave was dug, and that tho corpse was nearly ready for burial In the excess of his sympathy and love for the "veterans ot tho war" nnd tho "wards of tho nation," he resolved to perpetuate the existence of the various boards appointed under tho beiiellelent Influence- of the Hon. Hoke, and he therefore in his last dying effort arose to the sublimity of heroic sympathy and cast tho mantle ot tho classified service over thu examining boards then In existence, and the whole Democratic party raised up Its voice and uxclulmed. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Uequiescdt in pace," or words to that effect. Now lot us seo If this civil service claim If put to the test will hold water It Is a prerequisite for an appointment In tho classified service that a competition examination shall be held and that only those who roach a certain percentage of excellence shall bo eligible to appoint ment, and thla lrreptette of the appli cant s religion, politics of "previous con dition of servitude." Now if such an examination had been ordered here In Scrnnton and the ap pointments had been made upon the basis of merit there would have been no cause for complaint, but the true fact of the case Is that President Cleveland used his authority to override tho fundamental principles of civil service reform when be nrbttrarily placed tho Democratic boards of examiners In tho elassllled service. The fact that the present board In this city has enjoyed two years of existence under a Republican administration s conclusive evlilenco the Hon. William Connell has bcrn In no haste to exercise his prerogative in naming another board for this city, it was In answer to the ex pressed and unanimous wish of the old soldiers of this county thut he finally took this action and "politics" had noth. Ing to do with It. The board, as at present constituted, conforms to the rules laid down by Hon. H. Clay Evans upon his Induction into the office as commissioner of pensions; 1. e., to appoint one army surgeon, one middle aged practitioner, and one younger phy- slclnn to constitute a board. The board ns at present constituted Is as follows: Dr. C. H. Fisher, president! Dr. Herman Bessy, treasurer, Dr. James Stein, sec retary. m MINOOKA.
