rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would

hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned
and they were both stunned. When
rescuer came along and revived them
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs 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 E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and etfica-
cious than any combination of fdrugs.
Lydia Z. 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 SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinlham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinlham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

Starch were used. In order to get the
