The most wonderful forest in the
world is being washed out of the
tableland of northern Arizona, but 1t
bears little resemblance to a forest
save in the form Of the logs in which
the tree trunks are broken. The
trees are undoubtedly the oldest in
existence, for the woodland which
they composed existed millions Of
years ago. Finally the forest was
overwhelmed by the sea and later by
an earthquake, so that the trees were
imbedded in such a manner that
most Of them have literally turned to
stone.

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 a 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 a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham. Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
