THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign IS permanently attached
TO the front Of the main building OF
the Lydia X. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection OF
the Laboratory and methods Of doing
business Is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there Is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton Is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made In the advertisements Of Lydia
4. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is 1t a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
DO the women Of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such q person as
Lydia 4. Pinkham, and is there any
Mis-. ulhldln llOW W NuOn Dun
woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondence
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by It; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshealso
might just as well regain her health.

A bas Tho cannon Cracker.

There are occasions when this 'land
of the free and the home of the brave"
needs a car, power from whose
edits there Is no appeal to courts or
constitutions, and one OF these oc-
casions will be with us as the present
week comes to close. The cam
paign for safe and sane Fourth"
that has been IN progress during the
past few years has accomplished
something, as the mortality statistics
prove, but the results attained have
been brought about through the crea-
tion Of local sentiment In the thous-
ands Of communities in the country
and are In no respect national In
scope or character. The city with a
vigorous municipal government has
been able to experience some relief
from the annual slaughter and MAIN
ing of innocents but In the large ma
jority OF instances public sentiment
has been slow to arouse and indif-
ferent to appeal.
The reformer who should attempt to
abolish the time-honored racket with
which we annually commemorate our
release from q condition of taxation
without representation" would take
upon his shoulders a task that would
make the life work OF William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips look
like the proverbial three dimes. but
that there Is an opportunity to reduce
the number OF tragedies that annually
accompany the celebration OF the
great anniversary no one can deny.
And there are certain features OF
this whirwind of fire and noise which
should be the subject OF national leg
islation OF a prohibitive and not a
regulatiye character. In their efforts
to produce more spectacular effects
the manufacturers of fireworks from
year to year have progressed farther
and farther from the line OF safety
and some OF their creations have come
to be more deadly than munitions OF
war. The manufacture OF the cannon
firecracker should be prohibited and
the prohibition should be as sweep
ing as a quarantine order against bu-
bonic plague. If these denominations
merely tore holes in the atmosphere
the public could put its fingers in its
ears and find relief In the consolation
that the period OF din came only once
a year, but this annual SCATTERING of
infant humanity, this binding and
manning of those, who because OF the
cupidity and heartlessness of a few
business concerns, instead OF becom'
ing the support of the nation are
doomed to become helpless charges,
In many instances, of parents whose
burdens are already heavy enough, is
a matter that is entitled to serious con
sideration.

Says the Bennington Banner:
Those Brattleboro men who shot at a
big balloon sailing over the town last
Saturday must have mistaken 1t for
the Hon. Frank Plumley, congress
man-elect." It's barely possible that
some near-sighted person mistook the
gas bag for the candidate from North
field.-Brattleboro Reformer.
The Reformer has apparently
reached the conclusion that Brattle-
boro is about to lose instead of gain
an office holder. Hard luck.

$500 per acre, but I do not intend
TO sell II at that price. as can make
more money by feeding IL to hogs.
