Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of w~omankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because it
is g palliative, bmt simply because /, is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
~structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the gene~ative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized ths virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge hat they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinhham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park. Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
at gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efflcaclous, and OFTEN pre-
scribe it in my practice for emaled difficulties.
MY oldest daughter found 1t very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
~ freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
citic in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular menstruation, bloating
Tor fiatulence), ieucorrhea, falling, in
flammation or liberation of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bea~ring-down
feeling. dizziness, faintness, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues.
should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia f. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn. Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of q wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice If she wants to be strong and
well.

RAIN INJURIES WHEAT.
Government Report Says Excessive

Government Report Says Excessive
Moisture Does Damage.
The weekly summary OF crop on
ditlons, issued by the National Wealth
er Bureau, Is as follows:
During the week central and western
Texas experienced unusual heat, while
unseasonably cool weather prevailed
in New England and the northern por-
ton of the Middle Atlantic States;
elsewhere the temperature was favor
able. The rainfall was excessive and
injurious in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, and also in parts of the lake re-
gion, South Atlantic, and Central Gulf
States. and in Florida. Rain is badly
needed over the greater part of Texas,
in portions Of Kansas, generally
throughout the central and southern
Rocky Mountain districts, and in Ore
gon. Frosts, causing slight damage,
occurred in Montana and Idaho.
The previously reported excellent
condition Of corr continues generally
throughout the principal corn produc-
ing States and also in the Atlantic
Coast and Eastern Gulf districts.
Wind storms blew down considerable
o in Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas,
and Ohio. In some counties in Kan
sas and generally throughout Texas
the crop is in need Of rain.
The harvesting. stacking and thrash
ing of spring wheat on lowlands in the
northern part of the spring wheat re-
gion, where grain is fully ripe, were
interrupted during the fore part & the
week, the fields being too wet for the
reapers. Local storms in North Da-
kota and northeastern South Dakota
caused the lodging of considerable
grain. Satisfactory yields are gener-
ally indicated over the southern por-
ton. Complaints of %shrunken grain
are general from Washington and
western Oregon.
Much complaint Of blight and rot in
potatoes is received from the lake re-
gion and the northern part of the mid
die Atlantic States, but the reports
from the Missouri and central Missis-
sippi valleys are more favorable.

FEWER BABIES BEING BORN.
Census Bulletin Shows Steady Decline
in Birth his Since 1860.

There has been a persistent decline Of
the birth rate in the United States since
1860, according to a bulletin issued by
the census bureau. The bulletin was pre-
pared by Prof. Walter f. Wilcox of Cor
nell university.
The bulletin shows that at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century the
children under 10 years of age consti-
tuted one-third and at the end less than
one-fourth of the total population. The
decrease in this proportion began as
early as the decade 1910 to 1920, and
continued uninterruptedly, though at
varying rates, in each successive decade.
Between 1850 and 1860 the proportion
of children to women between 15 and 40
years, the child bearing age, increased,
but since 1860 it has decreased constant
ly. In 1860 the number of children I'M
der 5 years of age to 1000 women
was 634; in 1900 it was only 474.
Considered ~sectionally it is found that
in the north and west there has been a
more or less regular decline, while in
the south the change has been less regu-
lar and the decline less marked. In
1900 the smallest proportion of children
was in the District Of Columbia. The
next smallest proportion was Massachu-
sets. The largest proportion was in
North Dakota and Indian Territory.
In the general decrease between 1890
and 1900 not a single State Of the north
Atlantic division took part. In seven
other States, also, there was no de-
crease. In only six States-Illinois,
Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana-did the proportion decrease
in each Of the five decades.
In 1900. for the United States as a
whole, the proportion Of children was
only two-thirds as great in cities as in
the country districts. In the north At
lantic division, however, it was almost
as great in the cities as in the country.
Ia the southern division il is hardly
more Than half as large in the cities as in
the country, while in the far west the
difference is intermediate u amouu
