Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Red Banks, Miss. —“ Words are inadequate to express what Lydia E, Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered trom a female disease and weakness which the doc- tors said was caused by a tibroid tumor, and I commenced to think there was no help for me, Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made nre a well woman after all other means had failed, My friends are all asking what has helped me so much, and T gladly recommend Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound.”—Mrs, Willie Edwards, Hampstead, Maryland. —“ Before taking Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound TE was weak and nervous, and could not be on my feet halt a day without suffering. The doctors told me L never would-be well without an operation, but Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done more for me than all the doctors, and T hope this valuable medicine may come into the hands of many more suffering women.” — Mrs, Joseph H, Dandy. We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful — or that either of these women were paid in any way for their testimonials, or that the letters are published without their permission, or that the original letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited. What more proof can any one ask? For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ilis. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine, Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit, Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice.

Then this meeting is just the place for Missouri farmers to meet—for the cotton grower, the or- chardist, the corn king, the stock raiser, the poultry fancler and men from all the widely separated dis- tricts of Missourl to get acquainted.
