A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DIR. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco-
hol would. II also possesses medicinal
properties Of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptio and anti-
Torment. It adds greatly to the efficacy
Of the Black Cherrybarlk, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned In Golden Medical Discovery in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for oil of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there IS a wasting
away OF flesh, loss OF appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages Of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as q valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark In
propoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, It must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. II will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn.

rampage and investigation showed
that the wicked automobile, which
does so much damage on the surface,
was to blame for this sub-surface dis

gasoline into the sewers and the
liberated gases were doing the rest.

the family. Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
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 a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia e. Pinlxham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.

It is TO such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out helping hand and ex-
tends cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law Of
Lydia z. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record OF
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value ia
every ailing working girl. Address,
