You ought to have known that
when you ceased to be regular in your
courses, and you grew irritable with
out cause, that there was serious
trouble somewhere.
You ought to know that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb displacements,
fainting, dizziness, headache, and
backache send the nerves wild with
alright, and you cannot sleep.
Mrs. Hartley, of 221 w. Congress St.,
Chicago, Ill, whose portrait we pub
lish, suffered all these agonies, and
was entirely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; her case
should be a warning to others, and
her cure carry conviction to the minds
of every suffering woman of the un-
falling efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous PrOstration.

If you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician ? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, ''what is the cause 2"
and the answer comes in pitying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you so quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

THE LAST FLY OF SUMMER.

'Tis the last fly of summer
That fits on the wing,
And my heart almost bleeds for
The poor. lonesome thing.
No mate of his old age,
No comraGe has he,
To stick III my jelly
Or drown in my tea.
know if ] spare him
He'll frisk on my nose,
Or, perched on my bald spot,
Disturb my repose.
Bereft of his vigor,
Ard shorn of his pride,
I'll send him to rest where
The good flies reside.
So (swipe) let me finish
His earthly career;
When. crashi goes a globe from
My best chandelier.
Then (swipe) ard my weapon
Is launched on his head.
Alas, 'Tis a flower vase
I've shattered instead.
But (swipe) in my hurry
i miss him once more,
And the evenings destruction
Is making me sore.
And now that securely
He hides from my gaze,
i guess that I'll leave him
To live out his days.

An Atchison man took sick Saturday and
decided to stay home till he got rested. He

of the baby, to chop onions for pickles, to
grind the coffee, to dress the children, and
to milk the COW "while he was resting. p

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman
and child.
