-Four Facts For
Sick Women
To ConSidez
Lydia E. Pinkhon,'s Vegetable Compound
Has an UDequaied Record Of Cures
Mrs. PiHkRGm's AdUice is ConftdeH-
hal Free, and altoayS Helpful

FIRsT-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhoea,
displacements of the uterus, PAIN IN
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing down pains, nervousness
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
TH1RD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on tIe
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from Time 70
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinlxham's advice.
FsURrH. Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. PinkFlam's Standing Invitation
TO Women Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume OF ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very ltnowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if She does not take advantage Of this
generous offer of assistance.

Greatest Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
In existence was the Furens dam Qn
France), the total height of which was
10 feet. Since then three very much
larger dams have been built in the
United States. These are the Croton
dam in New York, the Clinton water
works dam at Boston and the water
works dam near Denver, on the South
Fork of the Platte river. says Critten-
den Marriott in November Technical
World Magazine. Each of these at
present holds the record In one re-
spect or another; the Denver dam is
the highest In the world; the Clinton
lmpounds the largest amount of water,
and the Croton dam contains the larg-
est mass of masonry. But the Salt
River dam, when finished, will exceed
each of these in Its own specially; 1t
will be higher than Denver, will ex-
ceed the Croton dam In masonry, and
will impound twice as much water ms
all three put together. 1t will be 270
feet high from foundation to, parapet,
will contain 100000 cubic yards OF
masonry, and will impound more than
