GUMPTION ON THE FARM. If there is a harvest ahead—even though it be a distant one—it is poor thrift to be stingy with your seed.— Carlyle. Sow alfalfa by itself; itdoesn’t need any nurse crop.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble? Here are five letters from southern women which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. LETTER FROM VIRGINIA. Elliston, Va.—I feel it my duty to express my thanks to you and your great medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con- fined in bed over one third of my time for ten months. I could not do my housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me alone for five minutes at.a time. “Now I owe my health to Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for them."—Mrs, Robert BLANKENsuIP, Elliston, Montgomery Co., Va. LETTER FROM LOUISIANA. New Orleans, La.—‘‘I was passing through the Change of Life and be- fore I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I was troubled with hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. 1 would get up in the morning feeling tired out and not fit to do anything. “Since I have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all right. Your medicines are worth their weight in gold.”— Mrs. Gaston Bionpeau, 1541 Polymnia St., New Orleans, La. LETTER FROM FLORIDA. Wauchula, Fla.—“ Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my sym, toms, headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused by female troubles. ‘ “I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman. “I am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had not taken your remedies, I would have been a great sufferer. But I started in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much either, I feel that you are a friend to all women and I would rather use your remedies than have a doctor.” — Mrs. Mattie Hopnot, Box 406, Wau- chula, Florida. LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA. Martinsburg, W. Va.—‘I am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself. “T have told dozens of people about it and my daughter says that when she hears a girl complaining with cramps, she tells her to take your Come pound.” — Mrs. Mary A.
