How She Lscaped It When a physician tells a woman suf- fering with ovarian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming or ovarian or womb operations, : Mise Margret Merkley There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one con- siders the great mumber of cases of ovarian znd womb trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable'Com- pound after physicians fo advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— ‘Loss of strength, extreme nervousness hooting pains through the pelvic organs, earing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I had.ovarian trouble and ulceration and advised an opera- tion. To this I strongly objected and decided to try Lydia I. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well.” Ovarian and womb troubles are stead- ily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down fn the * left side, bearing down pains, leucor- rhea. don’t neglect yourself : try Lydia E.

RESTORED - HIS HAIR ~wnhil Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment After All Ilse Failed. “I was troubled with a severe sca!p hu- mor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance. After unsuccessful ef- forts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, a friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and I can glad- ly say 1 have since been entirely free from any further annoyance. 1 shall always use Cutieura Soap, and 1 keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the hair and scalp.

Dun & Co.s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Trade returns are increasingly satisfactory, continued bution in all the leading lines. The closing days of March brought greater confidence regarding the future, and results for the first quarter of 1905 proved even more favorable than was anticipated when the year opened. Sanguine expectations of manufactur- ers who made extensive preparations are now being realized. Reports from the South indicate that the period of hesitation is about over and agricult- ural sections are stimulated by pros- pects of a good season for planting. Freight congestion has followed the heavy shipment of spring merchan- dise, and railway earnings in three weeks of March were 8.2 per cent. larger than in 1904. Official returns make the cotton crop fully a third larger than the one preceding, and still prices are far from demoralized. With the subsi- dence of floods the mills have re- sumed, water traffic is heavy, and the percentage of unemployed is season- ably reduced. Buyers are arriving in large numbers at the leading jobbing centers. Immigration continues to surpass all records and international markets improve as conclusion of the war seems imminent. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed a gain of $2,404,617 in imports and a decrease of $817,924 in exports, as compared with 1904. A steady demand is noted in all de- partments of the iron and steel indus- try, orders constantly coming forward and most plants are assured of ac- tivity for many months, while some mills’ decline contracts for shipment any time before 1906. Mild weather improves the quality of hides, espe- cially from the Southwest, and the tone of the market is decidedly firmer. New England footwear factories are receiving a fair amount of new busi- ness from salesmen at the West, and duplicate spring = contracts also ar- rive, calling for immediate delivery. A better feeling is noted in the pri- mary market for cotton goods. More inquiries are received from China, but there is little prospect that desired deliveries can be made. as some lines are under order up to next February. Woolen and worsted duplicate trade is quiet. MARI ICTS. PITTSBURG. Grain, Fleur and Feed.
