test in which he was competitor. His

"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM For years I

that Iwould always do so. 1 attended
parties and receptions thinly clad, and
would be suddenly chilled, but did
not think of the results. I caught a
bad cold eighteen months ago while
menstruating. and this caused infiam-

ovaries. Isuffered excruciating pains
and kept getting worse. My attention
was called to your Vegetable Com
pound and the wonderful cures it had
performed, and made up my mind to
try it for two months aud see what it
would do for me. Within one month I
felt much better, and at the close of the
second was entirely we'll.

Medical Men Declare 1t Rests the
Worried Muscles Greatly.

worried Muscles Greatly.
YaWnlng is not at all times an indi-
cation of a feeling of laziness. More
frequently 1t is an evidence that GER
tain muscles have been oyerstrained
and require rest. Medical men aver
that yawp is natures demand for
rest Some people think they only
yawn because they are sleepy But
this is not so. You yawn because you
are tired. You may be sleepy also, but
that is not the real cause of your
yawning. You are sleepy because you
are tired and you yawn because you
are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning,
just yawn. Don't try to suppress it
because you think it is impolite to
yawn. Put your hand over your mouth
If you want to, but let the yawn come.
And If you are where you can stretch
at the same time that you yaWn, just
stretch and yaWn. This is natures
way Of stretching and relaxing the
muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
SO quickly as to sit on a straight back
chair and, lifting the feet from the
floor, push them out in front Of you as
far as possible, stretch the arms, put
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. DO this
two or three times when you are tired
and see what it will do for you.
