Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success OF Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that it
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham Vegeta-
bic Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkhams Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments:
WHY has Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
q century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.

A RIVAL OF THE JuKEs FAMILY.

Public Opinion -Zola made famous

produced degenerates and criminals,
but in a recent number of the Berlin

actual case which is far more remark
able than that of lola, and quite as
remarkable as the famous Jules fam

social questions
"a gloomy picture has just been
given US by DR.. Jorger of Prag, a pic
ture which shows a family tree that
in five generations produced more
than 200 vagabonds, thieves, idiots,
imibeciles, beggars and murderers.
For the past 20 years DIR. Jorger has
been Investigating this family, looking
up the records of criminal courts and
other documents. DIR. Jorger calls
the ancestor Paul Alexis Zero The
wife of Paul Alexis was an Italian wo-
man and the couple had six sons and
a daughter The daughter married a
drunken husband, who eventually died
in his caps, while his wife died as
vagabond. The son Of the latter pair,
Paul Jas Zero, was a vagabond and a
drunkard, and he married a disrepu,
table woman who was also a drunk

1880 after producing eight degenerate
children. OF these children FIVE girls
were prostitutes, and the three broth
ers were respectively a thief. an idiot
and a drunkard, These children all
