continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligent1y
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. 70 her they can confde every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinl>ham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
T. G. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I cannot express my gratitude in
words. Before I wrote to you telling you
how l felt, had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good.
had female trouble and would daily have faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. wrote to you for your ad-
vice and received a letter full of instructions
Just what to do, and also commenced to take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and I have been restored to perfect health.
Had it not been for you would have been in
my grave to-day"
Mountains of proof establish the fact
that no medicine in the world equals
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for restoring women's health.

PICTURESQUE NEWTOwN.
A DRIVE BY THE HOUsAToNIC.

For pleasant drive of about -
miles, there are few that can SurpaSS
the trip to SOuthville and down the
HouSatonic river, returning through
Sandy Hook. This drive has its ad-
vantageS in more ways than one. 1t is
a drive where there are comparatively
few hills to encounter, the only billy
portions being between NewtOWn and
SOuthvIlle and the climb from Sandy
Hook, when returning. There is a
great variety of scenery on this drive,
winding as it does by the babbling
brook, along the hillside and beside
the still flowing river. There are two
good ways of reaching Southville, one
by way of Hanover: which is pleasant,
but not as attractive as the road run
ming to Hawleyville, and following up
the Shepaug railroad until it joins the
road first mentioned above Hanover.
This drive is delightfully."- shaded, the
trees shutting in the roadway on either
side, and it is not necessary to get out
of the carriage for a nOSegay of wild
flowers, for they grow tall and spind-
ling by the way side as if inviting the
passerby to pluck them. Southvllle is
aquiet little place, just across Rabbit s
Bridge, AS The drive winds
down the river road there is scarcely a
moment that there is not some new
scene to engage attention, running
close to the river as it does all of the
six miles between Rabbits Bridge
and the bridge at Sandy Hook This
is delightful drive and our summer
guests will search long way before
finding its superior.

straig htway appropriated it, and it
has designated from that day to this
one of the peasantest, choicest, most
typical country towns in Connecticut.
Not that Newtown became legally and
strictly speaking town in 17O5. 1t
did not attain to that dignity until
I'LL. In the May Of the latter year a
General Assembly held here in Hart
ford attended to the necessary pre-
liminaries. In the October of that
year the report of the committee and
the accompanying petition of the pro-
prietOrS came up for action, and this
(as the record shows) was the action:
"Upon consideration whereof, this
Assembly do give and grant unto said
proprietOrS and inhabitants of the said
town of Newtown all such privileges,
liberties and powers, in all respects
whatsoever, and as all other towns in
the Colony generally have and do en-
Joy: and do order and appoint the
figure : to be the town brand mark for
their homes" Let Newtown flourish.
May Newtown live in prosperity and
happiness to see and celebrate it's
milennial We hope the town of Hart
