When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary IL, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death kpell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operationsl
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E.. Pinkham's s
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be usedto secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer Of st.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could

Hearing how Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations I decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely Cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness"
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that Ihad ovarian trou-
bic and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
:" To my surprise the liberation healed. all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and cam
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
tion every woman should try Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints.

Prof. Smith seems to have struck the
happy mean and itruonld he a t,leas-
ure to teach from bis books, and
certainly a pleasure to learn from
them. He has also written and
published ''Grammar School Alge-
bra" intended for the eighth grade
which is a gem. Every public school
teacher would find it delight to
teach from this book. In this book
the author has used the spiral method
to about the same extent as in his
arithmetics. The series is published
by CHM and Co., Chicago.
The arithmetics are arranged in
two series; primary, and grammar
school; primary, intermediate, and
advanced. The latter is also publish
ed in two books: primary, and prac-
teal. Any one of the foregoing
books IS worth owning for the in
spiration the teacher will derive
from studying it.
