"Feather Diaonosis.~

A woman who was perfectly well.
but fancied she was suffering from
fever, called on an old and exper.
fenced physician to consult him. She
described her symptoms at some
length. and he listened patiently. At
last he said: Il think I understand
your case. madam. Sit perfectly still
a few moments and let me look at
you" She complied and he eyed her
attentively for nearly a minute, glanc-
ing at his watch once or twice In the
meantime. There Is nothing the mat
ter with you. madam" he said. You
haven't the slightest indication Of
fever Yonr heart beat is perfectly
normal" why. how do you know,
doctor?" she asked in surprise. You
didn't feel my pulse" II didn't
need to-" lie answered. Il counted the
vibrations of the ostrich feather on
your hat" And he bowed her out.

A Matter Of Doctors.

There were two sisters living in
Michigan" said Senator Burrows, who
warred constantly about the two great
schools of medicine. One pinned her
faith to allopathy and the other to
homeopathy.
"One day there was great excite
ment in the family of the lady who be-
lieved in ailopathy and it was soon an.
nounced that she was the mother of
bouncing twin boys.
THE other sister came down in a
hurry. WE'LL she said. now see what's
happened. l wanted you to have a
homeopathic doctor. After this guess
you will listen to me-"

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 L. 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 Z. 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 l suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It Is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
