AZ first we think Of streets Of gold,
Qf gates OF pearl and dazzling light.
OF shining wings and robes OF white.
And things ali strange to mortal sight,
But In the afterward OF years
II Is more familiar place,
a home unhurt by sighs or tears,
Where waiteth many well known face.
With passing months II comes more near
lt grows more real day by day.
Not strange or cold, but very dear
The glad home land not far away.
Where none are sick, or poor, or lone,
The place where we shall find our own.
And as we think of all we knew
Who there have met to part no more,
Our longing hearts desire home too,
With all the strife and trouble o'er.

HardshIps That Are Worth Something


No one could safely choose the best
conditions for himself and his work:
therefore God chooses for us. Yet we
all believe, at times, that we could
improve a little on Gods assignment.

hard work and scorns the idea of what
he calls an easy time, chafes under

could stand any amount of hard
work" Yet God has withheld for the
present the result that is SO eagerly
longed for; and God is to be trusted.
Hardship is not hardship unless it is
hard to bear; and hardship of our own
choosing would not be stern enough
to make character. We should be
'Virtuous by accident ..
Strong for lack Of test
and that sort of virtue and of strength
lacks lasting power. Let us thank God
that He never fives over the control

argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties OF
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
tIlc cuJeIp IlSC WClC ohCi "
day lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve a record of every cas- that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
v and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy a hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it" origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made

great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.

they are not able to obtain sufficient sup

According to late advices the erection
of cold-storage establishments in Ar

In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,

In those good old fashioned days it

their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and eX-

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so

all kinds; so, if we but take the pains

it was her pleasure to search these out,

them.
All this so far was done freely, with

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe

of the Pinkham family, as this class

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, Ailing
and BIoodiess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
MIR. @. E. Legg, of Upton, W. Va,
has found a successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says.
II used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and a bad state of my blood. Twas

MY kidneys and liver were out of order.

from my stomach. There was a good
deal of pain, too, i'll my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
"How long did these troubles last?"
"For over two years. For four
months of hat time l was under the
care of a physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile / learned OF

Williams Pink Pills"
