The IDEAL Family Laxative.

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and. old, weak and
strong, without any danger Of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is 80 carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for oyer
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Every mother possesses information
which Is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

which had at that time have disappeared. ~
Myrtle Mills, Oquawka, Ill.
Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs.
Pinkham as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"BefOre taking Lydia z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound my periods were irregu-
lar and painful, and always had such
dreadful headaches.
"But since taking the Compound my head
aches have entirely left me, my periods are
regular, and am getting strong and well.
am telling all my girl friends what Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for
me."-Matilda Borman, Pennington, Iowa.
If you know of any young girl who
is sick and needs motherly advice, ask
her to address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, and tell her every detail of her
symptoms and to keep nothing back.
She will receive advice absolutely free,
from source that has no rival in the
experience ofwoman's ills, and it will, If
followed, put her on the right road to
strong, healthy and happy womanhood.

A strange comedy and tragedy was
woven into the lives of Ibsen and
Bjornson. AS young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart; they quarreled and never met
for years and years. Strange fate
brought the children Of these two
great writer's together and Bjornson's
daughter married Ibsen's only child.
The fathers met after a quarter of a
century Of separation at the wedding
