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 he-hs 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 10
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia K. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave 10 the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culixr ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdTugs.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for Wonan's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of SIS NC. St,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration TO health

Of other suffering women I an willing

correctly set forth by others in the public
print.
No doubt the Revs. Poole and Spence
were prepared to meet certain amount
OF adverse criticism for their selection OF
methods, believing that in the end the
results would justify the means: but the
former was certainly not expecting such
gross misrepresentation of his work as
has been recently published in several
metropolitan newspapers, which, with an
unfortunate disregard for the truth, have
had "moribund church" springing up
in the space Of two weeks into power
full organization for good in the com.
munity. Such undesirable publicity is
very distressing to the persons most vi
tally concerned, and certainly does not
do justice to exact journalism. 1t is one
of the first blasts which causes a sensi-
tive organization to shrink back behind
the shield of conservatism, doubling the
ACCESSIBILITY OF the first move; but, like
the wind, it will pass away. Newspaper
advertising Of church work may never be
q thoroughly established order, but that
it is reasonable method is being dem.
onstrated, in spite of some unsatisfactory
concomitants.

GIFTS TO HOSPITALS.

II there is any particular form Of phil.
anthropy which challenges admiration
more than any other, it is that which
has for its scope the relief of humanity
by providing the means whereby disease
and injury may be attended to. We
have reference to that philanthropy
which endews hospitals or makes pos
sible an enlarged field Of usefulness for
those institutions. ANY donations for
that purpose, which are turned into the
right channels, are seed sown on good
ground and win have their fruit in an
enlarged sum total Of human happiness.
EeSce, we applaud the motive which
cosiprehended the recent donation of
$4,000 to the Heaton hospital in Mont
pqlier and which Is constantly finding
its outlet in countless donations to hos
pitfalls throughout the world. The great.
er the contributions the better the SER
vice which the institutions can afford
their patients; and the best is none too
good.

CHURCH ADVERTISING.

The desirability Of employing the ad-

p.als to the Rev. w. H.Sspence, pastor
Of the Congregational church in Rutland
and he has purchased space in both the
daily papers in that city to announce
series Of Sunday afternoon services.
This adoption Of a plan put into practice
by the Rev. r. A. Poole of the Congre-
aatienal church in Barre gives the stamp
81 approval To somewhat novel method
Of reaching the people and presages, per
haps, the emergence of the church from
behind the shield of ultra conservatism,
ready to 40 battle for It's cause. This
plan Of Advertising we may say, does
not contemplate sensationalism in the
least, albeit the users of the method may
be wrongfully charged herewith. It il
unavoidable, too, that the pioneers in a
movement Of this sort should have their
motive misunderstood by some and in.
