It is impossible for g,. him to understand how unbearable are her sensations. *“Now, don't get the blues,” he says to her. “Keep on with the doctor’s medicine and you'll be all right soon.” She is more cheerful for a while after that, but the medicine doesn’t do her any good, and the feeling of failure bringing the old melancholy and depression of comes back spirit. Let th o W disconsolate woman turn to Mrs. Pinkham get the help she needs. In every neighbor- hood there are women who have been helped by her, and almost every day this paper prints letters from some of these grateful hearts. If you are ailing and discouraged, why not do as these women have done ang get the advice Mrs. Pinkham so freely offers to every suffering woman? Her address is Lynn, Mass. Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine has a well-deserved reputa- tion for curing the ills that give women the blues. It over- comes menstrual irregularities and pain, all uterine and ovarian disorders, and brings the nervous system to a normal state. An ideal medicine for women is Lydia E.

What Is the nature of this inspection? In one of the cases the rule was applied to a rail- road company with respect to a chaln used on its cars.

Although one of such offices s legielative and the other executive in character they do not come within the in- hibition of the State constitution, which latter instrument relates solely to State offices. —————— Concert and Picture Exhibition To-night at Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, 8 until 10.
