LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature ana woman WOTk COIu-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days of
our grandmother 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 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 so 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 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinkhanls 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. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

SUIT AGAINST BANK.
Friendly Case to Determine Legal
 Point at Issue.

Chicago, Nov 5.-A friendly suit, designed to secure from the federal court decision on the supposed right of banks to seize money on deposit with them in the event of failure of the firm or individual placing funds with bank, was begun yester- day by William J. Chalmers for A. Booth & Go. The action was pre- cipitated through the recent tilt be- tween MT Chalmers and four bank ing institutions appointed by court as Repositories for funds of the bank rupt fish concern. The banks each had loaned over the counter large sums to A. Booth & Go every fall and in the ordinary course of business the loans were repaid in the spring. Many commercial houses nave been making a similar agreement with the banks and the institutions now want a court ruling establishing their right to confiscate such funds.
