WHY DOCTORS
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Arc Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com.
Douad Curoo when DoCt0rs Are PowerIeso

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him . story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore. that the
doctors fail to cure the disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some OF the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step in and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing Sis
tiers to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This. therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham. in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer-
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond n doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

NEW TAX LAW
HAS LIT TIE
EFFECT HERE.
Local Tax Rate Is Considerable
Below the Limit Does Not In
GIude State and County.

The Law limiting the tax rate in
municipalities, which was passed by
this years legislature, is not expected
to have any effect or 10 cause any in
convenience or changes in this city.
According to the law, which origi-
mated in the senate, the tax rate in
cities having under 30. 600 inhabitants
to ST. 80 per 500 of valuation.
This is exclusive of the county tax
and the state school taxes. The pres
ent tax rate for the local city tax. eX-
clusively, is bat Sl.37 per 500, so.that,
under the terms of the new law, the
local tax rate could be - cents higher
and vet be within the law.
The total tax rate OF -. p per 800
valuation in this city includes the
state and county taxes.
This version of the matter is given
by City Attorney Hommann. according
to his opinion of the situation.
In Newark and Jersey City the
officials talk of contesting the consti-
nationality of the new Law. In those
cities, a municipal tax rate of 81. 20
is allowed by the law in question, they
having more. than 30. 900 population.

and Bachelor. of Essex county. are

that the hill was not to their knowl-
edpe returned to the senate for action
after it had been amended in the
house by the addition of the referen-
dunn clause. Three other senators
make the same assertion. and in that
case they contend the measure cannot

lures of Governor Stokes.
Though the law takes effect on
