numbered fully 100, and when at the begin
ming of the evening it sat down for the ban.
ouet, three tables stretching the length Oh
the hall were filled
DR.. Sawyer's departure was the leading
theme OF all OF the speeches, and praises
and appreciation OF the man ana "na' nc
had done for the community and mahkinu
echoed and re-echoed throughout the hail.
Kinder words were never spoken ana never
was the feeling OF a body OF men more Slh-
cere or general. His power as preacher,
his influence in the community, his glea1
love OF nature, his scholarly attaliliieIIs,
his splendid citizenship, all were referred 10
time and again and admired by those W o
had gathered to bid him farewell .,,o
Rev. William H. Stocking spoke TOT the
post and his remarks were condensed INV a

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant. not because it
is palliative but simply because it Is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor. .
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
lydia f. Piukham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr. S. c. Brigham, Of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitch burg, Mass, writes:
at gives me great pleasure to say that 1
have found lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound very efficacious. and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial fora femaletrouble some time ago, andmy
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
II freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
cific in all diseases to which women are SUBJ
ject, and give it honest endorsement
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating Tor

needed write to Mrs Pinkham, at
Lynn. Mass She is daughter-in-law
Of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. Noother living
person has had the benefit Of a
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousands to
