Illinois theatre will revel in the an
tics of The Tenderfoot" impersonated
by the comedian, Richard earle. 1t
was unquestionably the most success
full musical production of the last sea
son in New York and Chicago, where
it held forth 100 and $50 consecutive
nights respectively. 1t met with the
unqualified approval of all the metro
politan critics, a fact in itself worthy
of record. The Tenderfoot' has a
sparkling, humorous and interesting
book and a musical score remarkable
for the number and quality of its tune
full melodies. The company number
ing 75 persons includes cast embrac-
ing numerous well-known artists, be-
ing nearly identical with the original
New York and Chicago cast. The en-
gagement here is an interesting one
from every standpoint, because The
Tenderfoot" marks an era of healthful
cleanliness in musical plays. Mr..
earle has always stood for this quail
ity, which will be found to be marked
in this. his most recent and greatest
success.

above all, q woman who has had
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-
fdence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes ::
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over a 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 a well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl
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 Z. 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 +. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which a druggist may offer.
II You are sick. write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn. Mass, for special advice. 1t is
free and always helpful.
