MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of female weaknessarein invited topromptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. 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 good will, 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 assistance.

Once at public dinner, where both father and son were present, toast was given to the father. Instant ly the younger Quincy rose to his feet, and, pointing to his venerable father, said, "My son will respond" This is thought to be the only instance in which a son has ever claimed to be his fathers father.
