Extracted From Forest Plants

Natures laws are perfect If we obey
ahem. but disease follows disobedience.
Go straight to nature for the cure, to the
forest there are mysteries here that we
can fathom for you. Take the bark of
the wild-cherry tree, the root of man
drake. stone root, queens root, bloodroot
and golden seal, make a scientific, non
alcoholic extract of them with just the
right proportions and you have Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t took Dr. Pierce, with the assistance
of two learned chemists, eight years Of
hard work experimenting to make this
vegetable extract and Alternative of the
greatest efficiency.
Just the sort of spring remedy you
need to make rich, red blood, and cure
that laSSitude and feeling of nerve eX-
haustion. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery bears the stamp of PUBLIC
APPROVAL and has sold more largely in
the past forty years than any other blood
purifier and stomach tonic. The refresh

lated during the winter. Doctor R. V:

Hotel and Surgical Institute, and ply

uGolden Medical Discovery" is just the
tissue builder and tonic you require
when recovering from a hard cold,
grip, or pneumonia. No matter how
strong the constitution the stomach is
apt to be "out of kilter" after a, long,
hard winter; i'll consequence the blood is
dsordered, for the stomach is the labor
atory for the constant manufacture of
blood. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

in shape to make pure, rich blood-helps
the liver and kidneys to expel the poi

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought
under the jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. A rail-
road president is authority for the
without discrimination, and the ques-
ton of excessive charges is matter
for the shipper to settle with the car
lines, SO long as there is no law to
govern their rates. Car mileage pay
ing has been decided to be as legal as
the payment of rental for property.

His One E2edesnina Trait.

He was very rich, and, as is not so
cessful in love. At last he had found
his ideal. She was gay, frivolous and
poor, and she loved the great world
and its ways. Money was an object to
her. There are many who do not diff
fer from her very widely. The day
for the wedding was set and he began
to grow careless. She did not, be-
cause she had always been so. One
day they quarreled and she said some
things to him that set him to asking
questions of his friends. Then he
came to see her again. He was in a
bad humor.
So he said, harshly, "you are like
most women"
Il hope So she replied.
He wasn't expecting that answer.
''You are like them in loving mon
ely" he continued.
"Well, and what of it?" she ques-
toned, with scorn.
Everything" he said, angrily. "You
accepted me because l am rich, and
are to marry me for my money"
It was home thrust, and the girl
blushed and hung her head.

pound this did, and improved steadily in
health, and in less than two years beautiful
child came to bless our home. Now we have
something to live for, and all the credit is
due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound"
Mrs Mae P. Wharry, Secretary Of
the North Shore Oratorical Society,
The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis, writes.
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
II was married for five years and gave
birth to two premature children. Lydia e.
Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound was recom-
mended TO me, and am SO glad took it, for
it changed me from a weak nervous woman
to a strong, happy and healthy one within
seven months. Within two years lovely
little girl was born, which is the pride and
Lydia e Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
the light, health and happiness 1T brought 20
our home"
If any woman thinks she is sterile,
or has doubts about her ability to carry
q child to mature birth let her write
to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose
advice is free to all expectant or
would-be mothers. She has helped
thousands of women through this anx-
ious period.
Women suffering with irregular or
painful menstruation, leucorrhoea dis
placement, liberation or inflammation
of the womb, that bearing down feel
ing or ovarian trouble, backache, bloat-
ing or nervous proStration, should re-
member that Lydia e. Plnkhams Vege-
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures
of woman's ills, and accept no substi~
tute.
Mrs. PinEhaT's Advice and Medicine.
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1905-05-20

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. PinAham' S
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinl<ham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in Disappointment at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
