AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. +. PAXTON, youngstown,

gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l 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 had leucorrhna 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.
. took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. | was
becoming alarmed over my condition.
when | read your advertisement in a
paper. / sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd. and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle felt so much better that |
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
:" think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrifv 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

saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhams

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY.
How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.

How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George B. Mcclellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1851, to March, 1862, and most of it in
Virginia as far down the Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge
and as far out toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill. Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers.
That year there was Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
homes of the large cities had come the
best in the market. From tens Of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare.
On Christmas, 1868, the army was
shivering along the rivers Rappahan-
mock and Rapidan, and as far out as Gull
peper Court House. It was too cold, and
the men were too poorly housed to en-
joy the day. It was not holiday to
many-a day Of misery, instead. That
was the coldest Christmas the south
had seen for 80 years, and 1t has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order Of
the day in 1854. The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, a distance of nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
had arranged to supply the
army with a Christmas dinner. Few
men were overlooked. Except that in
1851, it was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began.
There were many signs that the next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
and SO it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 29 to the evening
Of April 8, after Grant and Lee met at
Sentinel.

Was ever an army so fair to view2
And it's marching straight to the hearts

What shall we do 'gainst an army like
this,
That is blest Of the angels above?
1t comes but to challenge mothers sweet
kiss,
And its beautiful banner Is Lowell
Sure, never was army so fair to view,
Or marched so straight to the hearts Of
you!
Come on with the trumpet, the little toy
drum!
Come on with the little tin blades!
Our hearts beat welcome and cry to
you, Come,
Oh, curly haired Christmas brigades!"
Come on, little heroes in gray and in blue,
And wen capture and kiss every soldier
Of YOU!
