a Smile From a STRANGER.

Most of US owe debts of gratitude to
strangers whose kindly smile has sent
sunshine into our aching hearts and
has given US courage when we were
disheartened.
1t Is a great thing to go through life
with smiling face. 1t costs little. but
who can ever estimate its value?
Think how the pleasure of life would
be increased If we met smiling faces
everywhere-faces which radiate hope,
sunshine and cheer! What a Joy 1t
would be to travel in gallery of liv.
Ing pictures radiating hope and cour-
age!
Who can estimate what beautiful.
smiling faces mean to the wretched
and the downcast. those whose life
burdens are crushing them?
Many of US carry precious memories
of smiling faces which we glimpsed
but once. but whose sweet, uplifting
expression will remain with US forever

LYDIA E. PfNKHHM

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 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 615 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women I 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 l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed 1t, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkhams~ 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.

neck" 1t consisted of wooden frame
erected on a stool in which were three
holes for the head and arms. For
days together offenders against the

pears that this particular form of pun
ishment was melted out to those con
yicted OF frauds of every description
not only In England, but in nearly
every country in Europe. In the days
of the star chamber, when religious
feeling ran high. the pillory was the
ordinary punishment melted out to
those who offended against the church.
In 1886 Titus Oates was sentenced to
be pilloried for five days In every year
during the rest of his life. Another
famous sufferer was Daniel Defoe. the
author of Robinson Crusoe," who
stood for three days in the pillory in
Cheapside. 1t happened on occasions
that the offender died while under
going his sentence During the time of
exposure the condemned man was not
allowed to receive food of any sort or
description The last occasion on
which a pillory sentence was passed
was In 1S14-London Globe.
