A Glasgow botanist has conceived the
unique idea of making a timepiece out
OF growing iir trees. He planted num-
Der OF fir trees in his garden in such
positions that they shade special parts
Of the house at known hours Of the
day. For instance, the Il o'clock tree
shades the diningroom during lunch.
while the "a O'Clock tree" secures a
shady drawing room for afternoon tea,
and so on during the rest of the twenty

public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain :
full menstruation and lencorrhea l
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
] never had any faith in patent medi-

had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills Is unparaE

her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailine
women during single year
All suffering women are invited Il
