The Duty
of Mothers,

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment. and her mother should see that
abe gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton: but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from
woman the most efficient advice with
out charge.

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condition
Of the Blood-How 1t May
Be Permanently Cured.
From the Mirror, Manchester, n. H.

From the Mirror, Manchester, NJ H.
Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which afflict mankind,
it can be permanently cured if prop
er course of treatment is taken. The
real cause of rheumatism is the pres
ence of acid in the blood and the
only cure is to purify, nourish and
strengthen this vital fluid. The best
specific yet discovered for this purpose
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and the number of cures they
have effected in cases of this stubborn
disease is wonderful Mrs. S. D.
Loveland, of No. 1873 West Hancock
street, Manchester, N. H., was cured
of a severe attack of rheumatism by
the use of this remedy. She says:
"several years ago one of my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that I could not
bend my knee. 1t was very painful
and I was unable to move about. I
tried various remedies, but not one of
them relieevd me in any way.
SIN the latter part of August,
nearly three months after the pain
and stiffness began, a friend, Mrs.
Rothwell, of Everett, Mass, told me
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. I willingly gave them a trial
and experienced relief in a few days.
l continued until I had taken three
boxes and was able to bend the knee
and go up and down stairs without
difficulty. l have since taken the
pills number of times for other
troubles and always with good results.
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times.
1 have not learned with what effect
they were taken, excepting in the case
of two of my relatives and young
woman living in my family, each of
whom was greatly benefited. I feel
that cannot say too much in favor
of the pills" "

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
in January. 1899, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg-

the time, and pain in her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter of all pains and irregu-
larity.
Nothing in the world equals Lydia n

Successful Scientific Ess Sellers,

Danish eggs arc taking the lead for
their good qualities, thanks 10 the
system OF cooperation and selection
adopted by the producers. Every egg
shell supplied carries the name Of its
raiser, and as the eggs are all tested,
a bad egg is traced home. Each
raiser must supply eggs thrice week.
The central authority can reject an
egg several days old. The eggs are
tested and sorted according to their
size by an automatic machine.
