Mrs. III. WriQhf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is o
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by o.
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb.
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect On the tes,

As proof of this theory we call at
.tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie,
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years suffered with dyspepsia

TO find that It acted like a fine tonic, and in o
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and In
five weeks was a well woman. ] have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia

what has become of the great fortune
of the helpless old lady, confined to
an upper story Of her isolated home.
"They will only have to consult the
real estate transfers of Concord, N. H.,

These records show that Mrs.
Eddy's estate, Pleasant View, was orig
inally purchased in great part by Jo-
seph T. Mann, her former butler and
brother of her present coachman. They
also show that Mrs. Eddy's home, its
furnishings and all her Jewelry, were
transferred few years ago to Calvin
A. Frye, the present footman, secre-
tary and supreme power at Pleasant
View.
when an action for damages
against Mrs. Eddy threatened to re-
veal to the public this transaction, the
property was quickly transferred back
to Its aged owner.

When Is an Old MaIdP

When does girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
Of delicate innuendo, Is now figuring

fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point What is the exact year

forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this Is not matter in which man
