NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKnAM.l

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues, nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t IS "a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, / wrote TO you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than |
have had for the past ten years.
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing TO
aid you"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

Destined to BE Great.

The Shipping clerk Kept his rubber stamps
in big, deep box on a shelf near him,
where they are handy" he said But the
errand boy was looking for an opportunity
to make himself invaluable, so al noon while
he was 'in charge" of the works, he drove
small nails into the partition in such man
ner that each rubber stamp could be hung
separately on two nails. An impression of
the stamp was then made upon a small slip
of paper, and this slip was pasted above each
stamp. The appreciation of the shipping
