AN opD1TY AMoNG NAILS.
It's Use Turned Out to Be Different
From What Expected.

A man who had often seen OH the
side Of building that he passes IN
his rounds down town sign reading
Cement Coatel Nails" and who had
wondered what cement coated nails
could be used for and made up his
mind that they must be for use in
wharf building or something like
that, under water, where the cement
on them would protect them against
rust, Learned upon inquiry that the
cement on the nails did indeed have
a protective purpose; but this pur-
pose turned out to be one quite diff.
erent from that which he had I'M
agined, says the New York Sun.
For the coating on cement coated
nails Is designed not to protect the
nails themselves, but the goods In
the boxes In which the nails may be
driven; and this in a manner that
to the man of inquiring mind seemed
quite novel and remarkable.
The cement coated nail is wire
nail. In these days there are more
wire nails used than cut nails, be-
cause wire nails are cheaper; they
cost about the same by weight, but
there are more wire nails toS the
pound, and so wire nails have come
into widespread common use for
many purposes, one Of them being
fonnd in the mailing together o.
many sorts Of boxes.
A wire nail can be drawn more
easily than a cut nail and SO with
less likelihood Of injury to the box,
and this might seem only another
recommendation Of the wire nail In
such use, as it reasonably might be
II one of the chief considerations
were the preservation of the box;
but the primary consideration Is, OF
course, the protection OF the bo1's
contents, and here is where the ce-
ment coated nall comes In, and In
the manner that seemed novel and
remarkable.
With time and the opportunity tho
cover OF light DoA wire naiiSu
could be lifted and replaced and the
nails redriven without showing any
marks on the box. and thus there
was the possibility Of the abstraction
OF goods from such boxes In tran
sit. For instance, pair or shoes
might be taken out OF shoe case,
and the cover put back without
showing any signs OF tamperlng.
And with this requirement for 1t
along comes the inventor Of the ce-
ment coated nail. which is simply 4
wire nail covered with very thin
coating of material that makes the
nail once driven. stick SO tightly
that not only does 1t hold more
securely but it can't be drawn with
out marring or breaking the box.

lydia E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for WOman's Ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fasliioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs CT the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering,
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailnient, and cure
diseases that battle, the most skilled
physicians who have spent years LII
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
t thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and ettica-
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. 2
"For twelve years / had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of felrale 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
ago wrote Mrs. Pinilham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. PinlSham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia Z. Pnllham's Eege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf:
twill do for other suffering women.
