Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to q woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume OF
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get
bottle of Lydia T.. Pinkham' sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass, for special advice.

in restoring to health so many women,

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.

F. A. sHURTLEFF & co. SAY HY0MEI
WILL GIVE RELIEF. - SOLD UNDER
GUARANTEE.
The season for hay fever is almost at
hand, and many people feel that they
will be obliged to go away in order to
avoid the sneezing, watery eyes, and
other annoying symptoms of this dis
agreeable summer disease.
f. A. Shurtleff & Co. wish to announce
that when Hyomei is used as prevent
i've, or a cure, there will be no hay fever.
They advise daily treatment with Hy-
omei for two or three weeks before the
usual time for the annual appearance OF
hay fever. If this is done, the attack
will be prevented. However, if the pre-
ventive treatment is not started soon
enough, and the disease makes its APP
pearance, use Hyomei six or seven times
daily, and relief will be given at once.
There is no stomach dosing when Hy-
omei is used. Breathed through the
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, its medicated air reaches
the minutest air cells, killing all germs
and soothing and healing the irritated
mucous membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, extra bottles so cents. 1t is the only
treatment for hay fever sold by F. A.
Shuftleff & Co., under guarantee to
refund the money if it does not give
satisfaction,
