LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for womah's ills that the
world has ever known
In the good old-fas .lioned days Of
our grandmothers tney relied rpon
the roots and herI's of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia r. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
ciOus than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means 80 much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms OF female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physioians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times !
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkhnm for advice.
I followed 1t, and can truly say that
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkhann's advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t Is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women" q
What Lydia r. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

BIBLE IN THE COLLEGES
Statistics of the Religious State Of
Athletes, Presidents and Others

Clayton S. Cooper, Brown, '94,
gave a talk recently to the students
in the Brown chapel on Bible study
in American colleges. He gave some
figures of Bible study in American
colleges.
In sos institutions canvassed he
found that there were 34,494 men
in Bible classes. In 1T institutions
there were 3,022 fraternity men who
knew the Bible from the inside.
There were some detailed figures of
the study in 241 colleges where there
were:
Members Of college glee clubs. ,O51
Members of base ball teams, S15
Members of foot ball teams. ). $50
Members of track teams. $50
Members Of basket ball teams. 412
Editors Of college papers ..... 660
Prize and scholarship men. :. Gas
loldl. Z o
No attempt Is made to draw a
moral from these figures, although it
might be inferred that college edi-
tors are less unregenerate than bas-
ket ball players, track athletes, class
presidents and honor men. for in
stance, and that the foot ball man
manages to take time enough off
from his signal study to read his
Bible pretty thoroughly.
Mr.. Cooper has some other figures
to show the growth OF Bible study
from 1901 to the present year. In
1901 there were I0,871 men engaged
in the work; in 1902, 1929; in
1908, 1890; in 1904, 25,26O; in
1905, 30,f99, and in 1906, 33,157.
The greatest gain was directly af-
ter 1908. Yale University is the
most devoted to Bible study; next to
the University Of Illinois.
