Sketch of Yesterday's.
Theto has been no more solemn ser
vice witnessed In this city than that
which was observed In St. John's
church yesterday morning, when a
month's mind mass was celebrated for
the happy repose of the soul of the
lato Rev. John Finnan, who was both
pastor of the church and vicar general
of tho diocese. At 5.30 there was a
lepresentatlve congregation In the
large audltorum, and when the solemn
procession of attending priests led by
tho Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban entered
the sanctuary and proceeded up tlis
center aisle, tho scene presented was
both solemn and Impressive. Tho .el
ebrant of the mass was Vicar General
Garvey, and the responses were made
by tho attendant priests who occupied
both sides of the altar inside the chan
cel rail. Tho choir comprising fifteen
voices under the direction of W. L.
McDougall sung the Gregorian miss,
and this was executed In an excellent
manner. At the conclusion ot the mass
absolution was offered by Bishop Hob
an and the large audience was dis
missed. The following were the officers

"Your Modteista Ss a Godsend"'
Writes Mrs. FMllipSa
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham I want to thank
you for what you havo done for me. When
I wiote to you last June, I was almost a total
wreck from f emale weakness. I was troubled
with irregular and painful menstrua
tion, leucorrhcxn.beaiing-downpatns,
soreness, nnd swelling of abdomen;
pain at right and left of womb; head
ache, backache, nervousness, aud
could neither eat nor sleep well.
" Since taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound,
Liver Pills, and using your San
ative Wash, I do not feel liku
tho samo person. I am so
that I wrote to you, for you have
helped me very much. My
nerves arc stronger and mor
steady than ever before in
life, and my backache and a
thoso terrible pains are gone
Before taking your medicine
I weighed less than one hun
dred and thirty pounds. I
now weigh one hundred
and fifty-five pounds. My
friends say I look better
than they ever saw me.
and I know that I feel
better than I have for
a good many years. I
think your medicine is a
godsend to poor, weak
women." firs. Carrie

Cured by
Mrs. Pinkham,
" Dfar Friend I feel
it my duty to express my
gratitude and thanks to
you for what your med
icine has dono for me. I
was very miserable and
losing flesh very fast, had
bladder trouble, flutter
ing pains about the heart
and would get so dizzy
and suffered with pain
ful menstruation. I was
reading in a paper about
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, so
1 wrote to you, and after
taking two bottles I felt
like a new person. Your
Vegetable Compound hat
entirely cured me and I
cannot praiso it enough."

knowledge that women only assist Mrs. Pink
ham in her correspondence with women about
health, makes it possible for the full details
to be given, without hesitation.
Mrs. Cobb Ourotl of a Grsst Affliction
"I think it is my duty to write you what your wonderful
medicine has done for me. I suffered with itching of the ex
ternal parts for bix years, and was in misery day and night
I lost flesh and became weak. 1 tried everything I could
think of. My husband wanted me to sec a doctor, but I could
not consent to that. He then wanted me try your medicine,
and this I agreed to do. I took Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege
table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am to-day
a changed woman. I am free from my misery, und can go to
bed and sleep like a baby. I can work with comfort, and it
does not tire me as it did to walk. Your remedies have dono
wonders for me, and cannot bo praised enough. I would not
be without them. They cured 1110 of a great affliction, and
why should they not cure othots ? I would ad vi ;e evcrv suffer
ing woman to give them a trial." firs. J. S. E.Cobb, Bridge
