SKATING
ENJOYED

throng Of the lovers Of winters best offer

throng the lakes OF the park. and from
early I'm the afternoon tin late at night
there was a continual gliding here and
there of many. many pairs OF steel run

The brightness of the day together with
the fact that there were many who could
not enjoy the sport at any other time OF
the week so well as yesterday served TO
fill all the lakes in a short time after the
first signs were displayed on the cars
showing that there was skating at the
park.
Just as soon as the morning meal was
over there seemed 20 come over every
one a longing to he out and skimming

however, and this made the pleasure all
the moro enjoyable, so that the stoves

There were old boys and young boys.

All seemed 20 be bert on getting back as
far into youth and the most youthful
there and TO forget for time that there
was any other purpose i'm life than that
bent on JOY.
Old men who had not been on runners
since years ago were tempted while look
ing on to get onto runners, and elderly
women were teased onto the ice by their
children, brothers or husbands. Cares
were lightened for the time being and
rested but insectrely on most OF the heads
there.
The fancy skaters got In some OF their
best work, leaving a trail OF artistic ef-

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 10
her heart As one woman expressed
IL, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
IL is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia T.. Pinkham'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 used TO 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 L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations

Hearing how Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided TO try It, and In
less than four months i was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 3D.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
loss OF strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor after making
AN examination, said that l. had ovarian trou-
ble and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this j strongly objected
and l decided as last resort to try Lydia

To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad SYMPTOMS disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and l can
not express my thanks for what IL 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 K.

Vegetable Compound has been curing
