LYDIA E. PINKHAM

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 old 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 effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
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 / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

GOOSE GUARDS A HOUSE.
Drives Away Robber Tramp, Who
Loses Portion of Trousers.

Burlington, N. .J.-Since two of their
fraternity have been driven off and
badly beaten by the farms strange
protector tramps are giving the home
of James M. Sholl, Burlington farm
er, a wide berth. This guardian of
the Sholl home is Patsy, the king Of
flock of geese. Z
Terrified human cries mingled with
the fierce honling of the old sgander
and the savage Tapping of his wings
awakened the family to Mr.. Sholl a
night or two ago in time to see in
the moonlight badly frightened
tramp Logging it down the lane toward
the public road. The marauder's in.
tention of raiding the poultry house
had evidently been interfered with be.
fore he got the door open. and his
battle with the big gander had been
short but furious.
The tramp left minus portion of
his trousers. Also he learned that
the bite of goose is like the pinch of
wise, and blow from it's wings
like the blow of a pugilist.
The gander on another occasion
drove on a tramp who was begging.
AT another time the bird lost half its
beak in a fight with a dog that tried
to kill some goslings, and it has beaten

had traversed beyond their proper

called in to help find him, as he was
friend of mine, and when we found
him he was in pitiable condition, his
mind was clouded, he could not re-
member where he had been or what
he had done after leaving that saloon.
He only remembered that he had taken
two drinks of whisky.
THE beer drinker If he gets real
beer, is handed glass of the bever-
age which, to meet the demands of

ut is rather surprising how many
of our school children have become
beer drinkers, especially those of for

them mentally sluggish to a degree
that is attracting the attention of ed

Another habit which is getting con

tons. or TO make comparisons be-
tween the present and the past. The
records of the alcoholic and psycopath-
ic wards of Bellevue haspital do not
show the facts of inebriety even
among the classes of men and women
who would seek aid from this hos
pital. In 1904 there were S,941 admis-
sions to Bellevue for various forms of
alcoholism. The number now is great
ly less than that. In 1906 it had fallen
to 1888. But even with this reduc-
ton the number of alcoholic patients
is more than 20 per cent of all the
patients admitted TO Bellevue. But
these records prove nothing in the
line we would follow. The number of
inebriates who seek treatment at
Bellevue has fallen off simply be-
cause an old offender who comes here
is now liable to be turned over to a
city magistrate, who will sentence
him to an asylum as chronic drunk
ard. This had the effect especially
of keeping many women from taking
repeated advantage of treatment al
Bellevue.
What Is the cure of the evil of in
creasing inebriety in New York?
Whatever will bring easement to the
restless life in the city will lessen
all forms of dissipation The whole
subject needs careful and thorough
investigation to know what palliative
measures can be taken Drinking is
only one symptom of what is wrong
with us.
