The following letter is only one of
many thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham Office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy OF great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvellous
results among sick and ailing women.

ferer with female trouble which caused me
severe pain, extreme nervousness and fire.

short time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it was entirely cured. therefore

blessing it is to find such a remedy after SO
many doctors fail to help you. | am pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women >

from Santiago. dated yesterday, read
ing as follows:
"On the evening Of Aug. 16, a severe
earthquake was felt between Val

ties and private persons are succofing
the distressed people. The foreign lega-
tiOns are lending aid. The North has
been wholly unaffected by the earth

to show that Valparaiso did not suffer
as much az was at first supposed. The
heaviest damage was confined to the
eastern section of the town. which in
Cluded the poorer residential district.
The port and shipping at Valparaiso
apparently escaped damage.
