Lots of women suffer constantly, and seldom utter complaint. Good men rarely know the pain endured by women of their own household, or the efforts they make to appear cheerful and happy when they ought to be in bed, their suffering is really so great. Our habits of life and dress tell sadly upon women's delicate organizations. They ought to be told just where the danger lies, for their whole future may depend upon that knowledge, and how to overcome it. There is no' need of our describing the experiences of such women here, they are well known by those who have suffered, but we will impress upon every one that these are the never-failing symptoms of serious womb trouble, and unless relieved at once, a life will be forfeited.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound never fails to relieve the distressing troubles above referred to; it has held the faith of the women of America for twenty years.

Montpeller, June 12th annual meeting of the Vermont Woman's Suffrage association was opened in this city in the Church of the Messiah this evening with a goodly attendance. The house "was very tastefully decorated with ferns and cut flowers and a large portrait on the platform of Mrs. Lucy Stone, one of the pioneer organizers of the reform. Music was furnished by the choir of the church under the leadership of F. W.

Bancroft. The meeting was formally opened by Scripture reading and invication by Rev. L. L. Beeman of this city, after which a short time to the business of the assoclation.

At the close of the business session greeting was given to the members by Mrs. E. M. Denny of this city. She welcomed them in the name of the local association and the W.

C. T. U. She sald that it might be a. surprise to them but that all movements of reform were very closely allied to the women of the "White Ribbon' and this association had been a theme for amusement, but it had been her good fortune to observe that the women who were engaged in this work were not fanatics but whole hearted women who cherished their homes, closing with a hearty welcome to the city.

Rev. J. Edward Wright followed with short address of welcome to the visitor9. He stated that 25 years ago his posttion this evening woul have been to that of Garibaldi when he summoned a band of patriots about him and told them he could offer them hunger, thirst, hardship, and death, but he said that in these latter years the people had come to look on this movement from a more favorable standpoint even the casting of a vote for its advancement. He closed by welcoming them to his church in the most cordial manner.

The response was made by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe of the New England Woman's Suffrage association. She spoke of the progress of the reform since she became engaged in the work, speaking of the odium with which the mere mention of "woman's rights" was received, 68 though they thought the women believed they had no rights. She also spoke of the horror that was expressed when it was suggested sending girls to college but that now it is considered quite the thing it rounded out the womanhood and gave it an added lustre that could rot otherwise be obtained. She also reviewed the work done by them in Massachusetts, stating that where once the husband could sell the very dresses worn by his wife it cannot now be done, attributing these changes to the work of this association.

After a tenor solo by F'. W. Bancroft, rendered in his usual faultless manner, Mary N. Chase, A. of Barnet, delivered an able address.

She stated that women in three States would at the next presidential election vote on exactly the same footing as the men: also, that an ounce of experience in this work was worth a ton of theory, and then went on to show that the work was no longer a theory by reviewing tho results wrought in those localittes where suffrage had been allowed. She reflected on the methods of the politician, comparing them with those which would Influence the vote of women, asserting there was one which would ever stand foremost in her mind and that was "How will this vote affect my home?" She said further that she preferred to discuss the question rather from the standpoint of woman's duties and responsibilities than from of woman's rights as she believed that the franchisement of woman not only helped and uplifted WOman, but served to stimulate them Godward. She closed by calling attention to the sacrifices women had made for the right and for her country. After muste by the choir, benediction was pronounced and the meeting adjourned to 10 a. m.
