One OF the greatest triumphs Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

dread enemy Tumor.

So called wandering pains may
come from it's early stages or the
presence Of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri

the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains. II
there are indications Of Inflammation

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

herbs, right away and begin it's use.
The following letters should con

virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, Of 1856 W. Cola,

Writing Plays to FIT Actors RESPONSE
BILE for Stunted Careers.
One thing, in the United States,
which hampers a good actor more than
anything else is the petrifled tradition
that a player can do only those parts
which are "in his line" says the
Broadway Magazine, discussing the
question, as the American Actor a
Bad Actor"
Even the discovery of a Warfeld
has not pointed out strongly enough
the fallacy of thus keeping an actor at
one style of work. of this saying that
ITS no use putting so-and-so In such
a part; he has never done anything
like that before"
We all know that in the United
States, once an actor has established
himself in a little circle of characters,
he is kept amiably padding about this
safe pond.
Crane can act the David Harum
parts; therefore he is kept at 1t and
plays are written for him directly
around such characters.

play-tailor grit together, can almost
