If person is i'll and needs medi-
stood the test of time and has hum
credit?
A great many women who are ill try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one UNI
broken chain Of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful ;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been pu blished in the interest Of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts Of
women which is difficult to dislodge.
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, g No, we want
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham,

FEW CHANGES MADE,
County Board of Review Returns
Its Report to State
Auditor.
VALUATION Is INCREASED sl57, 1903.
$35, 900 Added to Illinois End
of the Crescent
Bridge.

The Rock Island county board of
review composed of ". r. Carey.
chairman of the board of supervisors;
County Clerk b. B. Hubbard, and Sol
Hirsch. of Moline, has completed it's
labors and returned its report to the
auditor of the state.
No changes of any consequence in
the assessments of the different town
ships were made. and there were few
changes in private assessments. OF
the latter, the most important was the
addition of $50, 900 to the valuation
of the Illinois end of the Crescent
bridge.
The assessors did their work well,
and the valuation of property was
placed sufficiently high so that the
most difficult task a board of review
has to meet, that of raising the assess
ment. was obviated.
Amounts as Returned.
Following are the different amounts
