Miss KfeMeUOnoId,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. Thecause may beeasily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to GO
anywhere or do anything, backache,
hearing-down pains, fiatulency, nerv-
business. sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
,etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
RESTORED health has meant SO much to me
that / cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women
. For long time i suffered untold agony
with a female trouble and irregularities,
which made me n physical wreck. and no one

decease, been advising sick women free

Natura, coIor Of Pure Water.

1t was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water Is blue,
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the cause of the green and yellow
tints; these, 1t has been discovered
by w. Spring, are due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color OF the
water when adequate precautions
are taken. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal
cium is present. The green tint is
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the iron
salts and the precipitating action of
the calcium salts.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

some reason everybody had donned

GOODNESS and formality. We all felt
it-even the women, although, Of
course, the fair sex are not easily per,
