 Therc are three critical stages in . woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages Is womanhood, or the change from 3 care free girl to budding womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life.
 Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women throughl ill health dates from one or another of these im- portant crises.
 Women should remember that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable cognp0und made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and In later years carried them safely through tfre change of life moro sue cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction.

Mr. HammersteIn testified last week that he had
seen both performances. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Danzig. assisting Mr. Pierce. examined Mr.
Hammerstein. Mr.. Danzig asked Mr.. Hammerstein
about dialogue on the night of December 2.

"A talking act" said Mr.. Hammerstein.
What was the significance Of thatT'

Mr.. Hammerstein gave several definitions OF the
