LYDIA E. PINKHHM

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-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 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 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.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham'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 E. 'Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Highly Esteemed by Veterans.

contains as q frontispiece an excellent
portrait of the late General John Mar
shall Brown, and this is supplemented
by an appreciativc sketch of his life
by Henry S. Burrage, d. D. The fol-

sketch shows in what high esteem
General Brown was held by the
soldiers at ToguS:
His last public service, and that
which afforded him especial gratifica-
ton, was member of the board of
managers of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteers He was the sec
ond vice president of the board and
local manager of the Eastern Branch
at Togus. Me. His work for the Home
was continued with undated solicit
tude and Wholeheartedness to the very
close of life. Indeed, he had arranged
to be at Togus on the very day Of his
death The high esteem in which Cen
cral Brown was held by the old
soldiers is we'll illustrated from the
fact that of their own motion they had
planned to line up on the avenue lead
ing to the station at Togus in order
that as he passed through their lines
on his arrival at the Branch, after a
long absence occasioned by sickness,
they might give him a soldiers well
