 Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become painful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is burden. All these symptoms point to de- rangement of the female organism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound.
 Miss Abby F. Barrows, Nelsonville, Athens Co.,, Ohio, tells what this great medicine did for her. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 ''I feel it my duty to tell you the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before I took them l was very nervous, had dull headaches, pains in back, and periods were irregular, I had been to several doctors, and they did me no good.

 Guarantee of Cure.
 The changeable weather of Spring is directly responsible for the preva- lence of catarrhal troubles ill Stafford at the present time.
 As a result, Anders Jacobsen has had a larger sale for Hyomei the past week than ever before in the years that he has handled this reliable treatment for the cure of catarrh.
 Unlike the ordinary remedies that there is no stomach dosing with Fly omei. It is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and it's balsamic, antiseptic healing penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose, throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, healing the irritated mucous membrane and effecting a complete and permanent cure.
 If there is single catarrhal germ in the system, Hyomei will search it out and absolutely destroy it, com pletely eradicating the trouble. The remedy has made so many cures among Anders Jacobsen's customers that he offers to pay for it himself if it does not benfit even the worst case of catarrh.
 The complete outfit costs only $1, consisting of an inhaler, medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei, while extra bottles of Hyomei can be ob- tained for 50 cents. There will not be even this small expense if Hyomei does not cure, as Anders Jacobsen will return your money.
