. The darkest days of husband and

Mrs. lhndp0

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of SO Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
Nv Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part Of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
I were very anxious for child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that I was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, I had no more bearing down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within year
became the mother Of strong, healthy
child, the Joy of our home. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it. u
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her, try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compoun I'D and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

an amusing conversation Between one of
the iron-workers and man who was
cleaning the windows of similar struc.
ture adjoining the new building.
The man who was cleaning the windows
was husky Irishman; and as he swabbed
away he whistled merrily. Suddenly he
ceased his tune, and, peering into the
window on the ledge Of which he was
standing, carefully surveyed roomful Of
pale, unhealthy looking clerks. Then he
called out to the nearest iron-worker on
the building next door: "Say, my boy,
Just have look at the lads in here"
The iron-worker did as requested.
Poor fellows!" exclaimed the Celt, in
tone of deep commiseration; "but, thin,

And he resumed his task.
