Mrs. | Hughson,” of Chicago, whose letter follows, is another woman in high position who owes her health to the use of Lydia E. Pirikham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Prinknam:—I suffered for séveral years with general weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe- tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hoi and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. Noone can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up my B gongs health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and made me feel as Spry and active as a Pie girl Mrs. Pinkham’s medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be.” — Mrs. M. E. Huauson, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, IL Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman’s daily life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started. The first indication of such trouble shculd be the signal for quick action. Don’t let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. _ More than a million women have regained health by_the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. cS 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 itmay mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington St., Kingston, Ont., writes: < “Dzar Mrs. Pixxnam:— You are indeed & f godsend to women, and if they all knew what ® you could do for them, there would be no need ® of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. | “T suffered for years with bearing-down pains, womb trouble, nervousness, and excruciating head- ache, but a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising tome. I am lightand happy, and I do not know what sickness is, and I now enjoy the best of health.” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in the eariy stage of development, and checks any tendency to cancer- ous humors, It subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the entire female system. Its record of cures is the greatest in the world, and should be relied upon with confidence. $ 5 000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absvlute genuineness.

The very first week a woman hurriedly demanded “Some cheese for a rabbit, please.” The young man did not stop to think whether rabbits enjoyed cheese—the customer’s tone was too imperative for hesitation—so he put up what he supposed her pet would like. An hour later a crestfalien clerk lis- tened to the head grocer’s lecture on the foolishness of giving a valuable | customer a bag full of cheese rhinds and scraps.

She showed no signs of being star- “How much do you want for He hesitated a minute and then offered to sell the lot for five cents. “If a good paper is worth a penny then a muddy one should be worth two cents, shouldn’t it?” she said argumentatively as she hunted in her purse. “Yes—no, mam—I mean I don’t know,” was the astonished reply. As she handed the boy two dimes a man stopped. “What's the matter here?” he asked. “Don’t you want to buy some pa- pers?” The young woman put the question without any embarrassment. “Why, yes, give me one of each kind.” The boy counted out five papers and handed them to the man, who asked, “How much?” “The lady here gave me two cents apiece for those spoiled ones.” “I suppose that would make a good one worth about five cents.” Saying which the man handed over a quar- ter. As he turned away an acquaintance who had just come down the steps of an apartment house tapped him with his cane. “Hello, Andrews! What the devil are you doing here?” was the new- comer’s query. Andrews turned slowly. “This boy has had some hard luck,” he an- swered. “Buy some papers from him, with something besides for swearing in the presence of a lady.” The newcomer transferred his glove to his left hand, already holding a cigar, a cane, and the other glove. He reached into his trousers pocket and pulled out a handful of change, looking at it helplessly. His friend reached over, picked out a silver dol- lar, and handed it to the boy. “Here, come back! I didn’t want to give him that,” the owner expostu- lated. “He gave me 25 cents himself,” ex- plained the newsboy. “Oh, he did, eh?” The newcomer showed his first signs of animation. He put his cigar in his mouth, set his silk hat more firmly on his head, grasped his stick in his right hand, and took his friend by the collar with his left. “Dig!” he said. Andrews meekly reached into his pocket and handed the boy 75 cents. The two men lifted their hats and went down the avenue. The woman turned down the side street.

A contractor who was successful in getting a contract for a drainage . scheme for a certain town was asked to meet the authorities, bringing with him his “cautioner,” or guarantee man. He did so. The cautioner, who was a _ very wealthy man, but never over well dressed, was unknown to any of the authorities. When the contractor appeared, the chairman asked if he had brought with him his cautioner. He answered: “There he is,” pointing to his shab- bily-dressed friend. - The chairman said: “Of course, Mr. Blank, we require a man of some standing and substan- tiality to guarantee the performance of this work,” meaning thereby that the proposed man did not look this. On hearing this disparaging remark the millionaire at once stepped for ward and said to the meeting: “What's the price of your town, and 1 will give you a check for it?” The Stars Are With the Voyager, The stars are with the vi Wherever he may sail; °”” The moon is constant to her time, Bane, au will never fail, 4 ‘ut follow, follow, round th The green earthvand the sea;" So love is with the lover’s heart, Wherever he may be. i Wherever he may be, the star: Must daily lose their light, : The moon will veil her in the shade, The sun will set at night; ‘ The sun may set, but constant love Will shine when he's away, So that dull night is never night, And day is brighter day. ~—Thomas Hood.

ARE ESPECIALLY Colds Invariably Result in Catarrh Which Sets Up a Host of PE-RU-NA Both Protects and Cures a Cold—Read Proof Miss Rose Gordon, 2,102 Oakland Ave., Oakland Heights, Madison, Wis., writes :— “A few years ago I caught a severe cold, which resulted in chronic bronchitis and catarrh. Our family physician pre- scribed medicines which gave temporary relief only. I began taking Peruna and improved at once. Two bottles cured me. I recommend Peruna to all sufferers, and @m most grateful to you for your valuble medicine,”—Miss Rose Gordon, ‘Washington, D. C., 609 H street, N. W. Dear Dr. Hartman:—“I used to think that the doctors knew all about our aches and pains and were the proper ones to consult when sick, but since I have been sick myself I certainly had good reason to change my mind. During the winter I caught a heavy cold, which developed into catarrh of the bronchial tubes and an inflamed condition of the respiratory organs. The doctors were afraid that pneumonia would set in and prescribed pills, powders and packs until I sickened of the whole thing, as I did not improve. One of the ladies in the Home had a bottle of Peruna and she advised me to try that. Shortly after I began using it I felt that I had found the right medicine, ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR I used two bottles and they restored me easily and pleasantly to perfect health. While my stomach was very delicate, Peruna did not nauseate me in the least, but gave mea good appetite, and I wish to express my gratitude to you for restored health.”—Miss Rosalie Von Struenning. CATCHING COLD Is the Beginning of Most Winter Ailments—Pe-ru-na Protects Against and Cures Colds. There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Pe- runa before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now, if this is true (and there is no doubt of it), thousands of lives “would be saved, and tens of thou- sands of cases of chronic catarrh pre- vented, by this simple precaution within reach of every one. After a cold has been contracted a tea- spoonful of Peruna every hour will shortl; cure it, leaving no trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has become estab- tablished, or the first stages of chronic bronchitis or consumption have beer A FREE PE-RU-NA ALMANAC. reached, it will take much longer to effect a cure. It seems strange that as well known and well established as these facts are any one should neglect to profit by them, and yet no doubt there are many who pay little or no attention to them and go on catching cold, acquiring chronic catarrh, bronchitis and consumption. Catarrh May Permeate the Whole System. Mrs. Mary E. Sampson, West Derry, Rockingham County, N. H. writes:— “T had terrible headaches, both ears run and I was nervous all the time, also had trouble each month; was deaf in one ear for thirty years. I took six bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin and am happy to say that it is the best medicine that I ever used. Iam not so nervous, my appe- tite is good, everything I eat agrees with me, and I am feeling better in every way. I think Peruna is a Godsend to women and a blessing to suffering humanity.”—Mary E. Sampson.
