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. PINKHASi:--It is with
pleasure that / 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 hea4thSwas very
poor. l had leucorrhea 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. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I 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.

day, if he wouldn't go in with his fam
lily till Monday. I said no, I didn't
care, but as for his sleeping there Sun
day and Saturday nights, having
moved in Saturday, I wouldn't let him.
so he went away, promising-and
vow II that fellow didn move all his
things in on Saturday and slept there
Saturday night. And inside of a week
the factory where he worked was
burned to the ground andghe lost his
JOB, and was out of work for months.
He owes me rent now, and he's the
last man who will ever move into one
or my houses on Saturday.
Il suppose the underlying principle
OF 1t all is that man who will observe
and keep holy the Sabbath will not
move Saturday because he knows he
must do some work on Sunday, and a
man who will never give his landlord
any trouble is the man who will not
break the Lords day."
Moral: Don't move on Saturday.

There are lots OF mysterious things
about letting tenement houses" sal
Col. J. T, Small-"I am not superstiti-
Gus, but would no more let house
on Saturday than l would set fire to it.
In all the twenty or thirty years l have
been letting tenements no one ever
moved into a house of mine on Satur-
day who didn't cause me some trouble.
'It used to happen again and again
till at last got on to the freak of for
tune and stopped it. Once a man
moved into one of my houses late SAT-
urday night. The next day he died
and had to give his family three
months rent. Another time the man
moved in on Saturday and inside OF a
year committed suicide. Another time
the house caught fire while family
was getting into gear on Sunday, after
moving in on Saturday. Sometimes the
family that moves in on Saturday has
scarlet fever, sometimes the wife dies

disease plays havoc among his tribe.
