An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; womcn do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to q
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard To those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to n delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, ever by her family physician.
married women.
Is it any wonder. then. that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This Is the reason why thousands and
thousands OF women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition Of hU. patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
If you suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinliham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS

The splendid yields of wheat, oats
