More Than Willing to Make Transfer
with Physician.

A Syracuse business man who, be-
sides being extremely active and am
bilious, has much sense of humor,
was taken sick with a slight attack Of
pneumonia. His physician. aware that
II would be a task TO keep his high
strung patient in bed, sought to i'm
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all OF which the sick man lis
tened to in bored manner. Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
in him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis
gusted, he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the memorable physi.
clan.
One morning the physician, after
having been up all night on an i'm
portant case, appeared at his patients
house at the usual hour He had hard
ly stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him quick glance and sat
up.
Eth? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand TO grasp the doc
tors satchel, he added: DOC, / guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine

The Square Deal.

A stout and opulent man dwelling in
a suburban town had borne the ex-
pense OF the annual Sunday school
picnic, and the superintendent of the
school, out of gratitude, asked the
benefactor to address the children.
The philanthropist was not much of a
speaker, but he was a master hand at
poker. When he found himself gazing
into the expectant faces of hundred
and fifty children his embarrassment
almost overcame him, but he managed
to stammer out: My dear children,
what l want TO impress upon you is
that-er-er-it pays to be good. That
er-er-er-a man who deals from the
bottom Of the pack is generally buried

Legend Of Maopie and Robin,

The peasants OF France, In accord

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia T..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia K. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
f.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to q healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
+. Pinlham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.
