RESCUED FROM OBLIVION.
The Graves of the Men Killed In
Battle of Trenton Finally
Cared For.

If sorrow comes to those in the sunny
land on the other side of the Styx, then
the shades of the revolutionary heroes
must have been saddened for many years
past by the neglect of the nation to care
for the last resting place of the men who
fell in the fight at Trenton, when Wash
ington crossed the Delaware and fell on
the unsuspecting Hessians. On the bank
of the river near the spot where the his
torical crossing was made nearly hun
dred dead were buried in soldiers graves
when the victorious colonials returned
to the Pennsylvania side of the Della
ware. The graves were marked with
small slabs of stone taken from one of
the quarries in the vicinity, and the
army passed on, to fight and win once
more. AS years rolled on the little
group of graves on the bank of the Della
ware was forgotten. The spot is lone
ly one on the edge of wheat field, far
from the beaten track of travel and no
one was likely to pass that way but an
occasional hunter or fisherman. AS the
trees grew bigger and the grass and
weeds more wild, the modest little slabs
of stone were hidden from view entirely,
and there was danger that the burial
ground of the patriotic dead would be
forgotten entirely and the brown head
pieces be taken for the ordinary encum-
brances of the land and hurled into the
Delaware by some thoughtless tiller of
the soil.
To the credit of Bucks county be re.
corded that some patriot recalled that
thedeadsoldiers were buried on the spot,
and feeble effort was made to preserve

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success OF Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that Il
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not a mere
boast.
overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished it's wide
spread results for good2
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
a century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached it's success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinhham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlxind is not be-
cause it is astimulant-notb because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements 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
