WHY so MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female me-Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pccu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him u story, but not tie
whole story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystities the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, ever to
her family physician.
1t was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. PiAkLam, at Lynn, Mass.
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
aged the mt of America to write
to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, It
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are tho
grand results of her experience.

Hit. but Not Killed by a Cannon Ball

A unique distinction belongs to SIT
Robert Rawlinson, X. G. B.-that of be-
ing the only soldier who has been
knocked out of the saddle by a cannon
ball without being killed. The identl-
cal forty-two-pound shot is preserved
by Lady Rawlinson as an interesting
relic. At the Crimea Sir Robert was
riding with a group of artillery officers.
when he announced his intention OF
turning back. At this moment a shot
from the Russian lines came whizzlng
along in front Of him, cutting the reins
and pommel of the saddle, and wedg-
ing n steel purse with terrific force
AGAINST the riders hip-bone.
