The oPauper peanut" Invasion

For the first time African peanuts
(Arachides) received at Marseilles have
been re-exported to the United States,
according to Consul-General Skinner.
The value of these exports during the
fiscal year 1904 was $25,O65. AS some
sample lots of American peanuts had
been received in Marseilles the year be-
fore, this turning of the tables may
occasion surprise. 1t appears that the
exports of the nuts from Europe to the
United States were in consequence of a
shortage in the American crop. The
African nuts are inferior TO the Ameri-
can, although richer in oil. The Vir-
ginia peanut is undoubtedly the finest
in the world in quality. but yields poor
ly in oil.

member of the Owl Drug Co, in
referring to Vinol, said: You see,
Vinol is guaranteed to contain no

tones up the weakened nerves or the
digestive organs, and enables the suf-

aDOVe all, WOmdn WHO mas 0du
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been GO
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women, and every testimo-
nial letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
NAV be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
cover year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. | am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl. l
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for special advice. It 10
free and always helpful.
