ADVERTISEMENTS.
AIDED BY MRS. PINkHAM.

Mrs. W. f PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-1t Is with
pleasure that 1 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. 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 protuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
~ took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
lydia F. 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 l felt as strong and well as any
one.
u 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 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 expeetant 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.

and it will require little thought to

experiences IF men under the influence

tral reason Why it is so profitable for
doctrine and reproof and OBLIGATION.
That which unites them is the intensely
interesting fact that God uses them,

and yet with their common spiritual
needs, as His special messengers Of

ToPIC.-Practical uses of the Bible.-Pa
cxix, 97-l05.
The supreme purpose of the Bible is
to teach us what we are to believe con-
corning God and what duty God re-
quires of US in this life 1t is our
only infallible guide 1t alone tells
us how We can live so as to glorify God
that we may enjoy Him forever. 1t is
therefore worthy our highest admira-
ton and love, our, most earnest study
and our deepest meditation. Would
that all men could say with the psalm
list:
Oh, how love thy law
1t is my meditation all the day.
The Bible, to accomplish it's high
purpose, must necessarily be practical
book and it is Some of its practical
purposes are pointed out in the topical
reference.
l. The Bible gives wisdom and ult-
Outstanding. Thou through Thy COM
mandments hast made me wiser than
INV enemies 4 | have more under
standing than all my teachers; for Thy
testimonies are my meditation. y The
Bible above all gives practical wisdom,
moral wisdom. 1t tells US how we may
wisely use the talents and opportunities
of life that our lives may be success
for eternity as we'll as time. 1t teaches
US how to number our days that we may
apply our hearts to wisdom. 1t aims
not SO much to give intellectual wis
isT9n I'D
such an understanding of life as will
lead man to practice virtue and shun
vice, and after all this is the most de-
sirable kind of wisdom.
2. The Bible refrains our feet from
every evil way 4 have refrained ny
feet from every evil way, that might
keep Thy word. The Bible explains
to us the true nature of evil, it warns
us against its awful consequences and
in these ways it leads US to refrain from
evil. 1t holds up before US the beauty
and advantages of holy, virtuous life
and thus again gives US an incentive for
avoiding the very appearance of evil.
We cannot keep God 5 word and engage
in evil, and therefore, if with the
psalmist we wish to keep the command
ments of God, like him also we must
refrain our feet from every evil way.
8. The Bible is guide-"a lamp IN
to my feet and light unto my path. ="
It is our best guide, our only true and
sure guide 1t guides us from sin to
holiness, from selfshness and worldi-
ness to God from earth to heaven
We should seek more and more to
make the Bible practical book. by
putting into practice its commandments
and precepts- 1t is not enough to know
Gods commandments; we must do
them.
