WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When D. ctors Are PowerIess

womanis sick: some disease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitatcd, forgcts what
She wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease? Still
VIC cannot blame the woman, for il is
very embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
1t WAS for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinlsham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
tcrmincd 10 step in and help her sex
Having had considcra BILE experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound. she encouraged the women
OF America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints. and being u
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
tors to pour into her ears every detail
Of their suffering
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago Il great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re.
lief, and the fact that many thou.
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which arc produced by
her nncqnalcd experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such e training, or has such an amount
OF information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation TO
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham. in her laboratory ut
Lyan, Mass, is able to do moro for tho
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which VIC arc con
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond doubt the
power of Lydia e. Pinkham.s Vegetable
Compound 10 conquer female diseases,

be shot from long bow, with an ele-

strength and ability OF the archer.
The distance used to be reckoned from
220 to 240 yards. The Turks have al
ways been celebrated for shooting to
long distances, and the secretary to the
Turkish ambassador in London shot.

used Turkish bow and arrow and

the distance measured 1872 yards. The

To The Editor of The State

To The Editor of The State
A new fountain of wisdom has de-
veloped in the central portion OF South
Carolina. The Columbia city council
has discovered that the laws of God are
severe, unjust, unreasonable and the
State law foolish, .out-of-date and not
suited to the present age-at least as
Columbia is concerned. City councils
have been inaugurated in Columbia
term after term and none were wise
enough to devise plan to dismantle
a State law, until the present board
was installed. Dangerous or not dan
gerous, practical or impractical, efec-
tive or non-effective, the present coun-
Gil has taken a step which places it
head and shoulders above any of its
predecessors, and if they proceed will
be balm for all transgressions of law
and order. It will be interesting to
know if the city council possesses such
power.
The action of council was a matter OF
class legislation pure and simple. Dur
ing the municipal campaign last year
our honored mayor spoke with much
emphasis against class legislation.
Realizing the folly, the weakness OF the
ordinance and its dangerous surround
ings. will he attach his name to it that
it may become law?
The action of council is to be deplor-
ed and is nothing short of disgraceful.
y law that was handed down by God
himself has been Knocked at. A law
adopted by our legislature has been
abused, amended so as to make it OF no
effect in part. In such transaction
are the councilmen upholding the laws
of our State first and foremost as they
are sworn to do? Is there any middle
ground? 1t appears very forcibly that
it is plain case of for against. There
can be no middle ground.
The council has acted. Il has played
a miserable part. The police commits
sion are in full possession of the law
and are, too, sworn to uphold the law.
When state law and city ordinance
conflict on the same point, which is the
stronger, the better, the safer law?
Let the people of Columbia who love
the law, who honor God, who will pro-
tect the law, support the commission in
a work worthy of mans most energetic
assistance and encouragement.
