France Is In Suspense Pending the

Paris, Sept. 26.--The cabinet is
withholding the decision of the Drcy-

ministry has adjourned until to-day
without maMng any announcement of

pense, and the most widespread dis-
content prevails. The ministers, it is
reported, are not in accord upon the
question of revision. Such suspense
as has not been felt in Paris since the
France-Prussian war now hangs over
the city. Crowds are beginning to
march tilrongh the streets demanding
revision. There is no longer any doubt

are crowded for months ahead. New or-

phia. Rails are in such demand that the
makers are to meet with expectation of
advancing prices, some sales having been
made from Chicago below agreed quOta-
tions for delivery at the far west. Plates
are strong everywhere, but, on account of

account is heavy, with one order at Chi-

More than a million women have
regained health by the use of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
If the slightest trouble appears which you
do not understand, write to Mrs. Pinkham
at Lynn, Mass for her advice, and a few
timely words from her will show you the right
thing to do. This advice costs you nothing, but
it may mean life or happiness or both.
Mrs. MARt BEN.~ETT, 314 Annie St Bay City,
Mich writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
"I can hardly find words with which to thank you
for the good your remedies have done me. For nearly
four years I suffered with weakness of the generative
organs, continual backache, headache, sideache, and
all the pains that accompany female weakness. A ]
friend tel4 my husband about your Vegetable Com-
pound and he brought me home two bottles. After
taking these I felt much better, but thought that I
would write to you in regard to my case, and you do not know how thankful I
am to you for your advice and for the benefit I have received from the use of
your medicine. I write this letter for the good of my suffering sisters."
The above letter from Mrs. Bennett is the history of many women who have
been restored to health b~y Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
