AGooD THING


That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with woman-a
woman whose experience in treating
woman's ills is greater than that of any
living physician-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a woman
when it Is revolving to relate her private
troubles to q man-besides, man does
not understand-simply because he is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, knowing
full we'll that they should have imme-
diate assistance, but natural modesty
impels them to shrink from exposing
themselves to the questions and proba-
bly, examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price they can consult q
woman, whose knowledge from actual
experience is greater than any local physi-
clan living.
The following invitation is freely
offered accept It in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only, thus has been established the
eternal confidence between Mrs. Pink
ham and the women of America which
has never been broken and has induced
more than 100, GOO sufferers to write her
for advice during the last four months.
Out of the vast volume Of experience
which she has to draw from, it Is more
than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that will help your case.
She asks nothing in return except your
goodwill, and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If she does not take
advantage Of this generous offer of assis-
tance.-Lydia e. Pinkham Medicine Co.,

The employment of negro help in the
cotton mills of the South, a field Of labor
which in the past has for the most part
been closed to the black man, is likely to
give to the labor question somewhat
new economic phase. 1t is not probable
that this innovation was inspired by
purely philanthropic motives. 1t is more
likely that the manufacturer sees an ad-
vantage in the likelihood of securing SER
vices at lower wages In either case, If
properly advised, the negro should insist
upon fair wages for his work and, other
conditions being equal, he is entitled to
the same recompense as the white labor
