When 1t came to a fight Bitters was

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 Z. 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:
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 l 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.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Z. 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.

quite a squaws' man. having cap tured the hearts of no less than ten dusky maidens and married them. without regard to the customs of the white man. This gained for him re- newed awe and respect from his tribesmen. and his position as sue cessful Indian was secure.
 All of which is chiefly interesting as showing the difference between races intthe matter of estimating what consists of success in life. The highly civilized pale face abhors mur- der and bigamy. None of these things for him. But he goeth forth with designs on the bank roll of his brother, merely as a competitor in business. or some such matter, there fore legitimately. If. figuratiyely speaking. he throws down his com petitors and takes their money away from them. he is successful, just as Chief Plenty Coos was among his people.
