Thereafter he swung her to his shoulder, and step- Ping with ease beneath that burden, bore her in a sort of triumph, lustily cheered by his men, to the deck of his! own ship. Her inconsiderate brother might have ruined that romantic ne Dut for the watchful Cahusac, ‘ho quietly tripped him up, and then trussed him like a fowl. ‘Thereafter, wnat time the captain Jangulshed in his lady's smile with. th the cabin, Cahusac was dealing with the spoils of war. The Dutch crew was ordered into the longboat, and bidden to go to the devil. For- tunately, as they numbered fewer than 30, the longboat, tho perilously overcrowded, could yet contain them.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 50,000 Women Answer ——= Forsometimea circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our medicine bearing this question: “‘Have you received benefit from taking Lydia FE. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound?” Replies, to date, have been re- ceived from over 50,000 women answering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medi- cine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of it—only two women out of 100 received no benefit— 98 successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear of anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished. Of course we know that our med- icine does benefit the large major- ity of women who take it. But that only two out of 100 received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments—not a cure all—one that is made by the most scientific process; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature’s roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see, we have been making, improving and tplining thiamed. icine for over 50 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women who take it. It’s reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world—leading all others, Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from any ailment peculiar to her sex to try Lydia E.
