AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM,

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it 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. I had leucorrhea badly, and q
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.
"ItooA medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for q bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and we'll as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a 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. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

On Keeping 1sDico.

"Horacc Greeley said," said Mr.. Mob
bleton, that the way to resume was
to resume, and it might be said of in
dividuals, under stress Of work and cir
cumstances, that the only way to
keep going is to keep going. OF course,
if a man is downright sick he wants to
stop, but it may he that the only safety
for a man who is not sick is to keep
going; that if he stops to rest he will
run down so that he can't start I'D

would rather work than be idle, and
there may be times when the only

CalicO's -Four Hun dreGth

Calico was first manufactured in India
in 1893, so that its use has been constant
for more than four hundred wears.
William Simpson &Sons, most extensive man.
ufacturers OF this country, now produce the
best grade of this kind Of goods possible to
make. Their prints are always attractive,
the colors bright, clear and lasting. Deal
ers well as buyers recognize this fact. and
very wisely give them preference Ladies
who have not worn them will do well to
remember this, as the piece of calico which
bears the ticket upon which appear the
magic words civilian Simpson & Sons
is not only. the best that the world has pro
duced for four hundred years, but is doubt
less as good as will be made four hundred
years hence.
