Mrs. W. +. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:--lt Is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that 1t may induce
others to avail themselves Of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. ] had leucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. 1 was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. / sent at once for bottle OF
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-tiirds OF
the bottle I felt so much better that /
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think 1t Is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. II Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhams
address Is Lynn, Mass.

the position of the constitutional con-
vention question as related to the Gen

Mr.. Bicknell then said there were
two issues for the people Of Rhode ISL

tuition. one was the absolute necessity
of holding a convention Of delegates of

other was the election TO the next
General Assembly of men pledged to
wage war against another attempt to
secure the adoption of the recently de-
feated constitution.
Mr.. James a. Williams presented the
following resolution, which after much
controversy was adopted: That II is the
