six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia

pains down through my limbs so I could
hardly walk. 1t was as bad a case of female
trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however,
cured me within four months. Since that
time have had occasion to recommend it to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and find that
while it is considered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

female ills, where all other medicine fails. 1t
is grand medicine for sick women

magistrate of the witness, did you see
the shot fired 2"
"Oi did not, sir" responded the
Celt, "but OF heard it foired.''
"That evidence is not satisfactory"
replied the magistrate, ste-nly; you
may step down"
The witness left the box. No sooner
had he turned his back on the Judge
than he gave vent to a somewhat de-
risive laugh. Enraged Is at this con-
tempt of court, the magistrate called
the Irishman back to the witness box.
Chow dare you laugh in that man
ner in court?" demanded the judge, an
grily.
Did you see me laugh, your honor?"
asked the Irishman.
NO but distinctly heard you

Such evidence is not satisfactory"
rejoined the Celt, quietly, twinkle
coming into his eye.
"Whereupon," says Senator Proctor,
every one in court laughed, including
