LYDIA E. FiNKHHM

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-daE,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 f. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eff1ca-
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 20 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 l
could hardly walk. About two years
J.
I followed 1t, and can truly say that
Lydia E. 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. Rinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
1t will do for other suffering women.

the official paper of the city, it is
natural for it's readers to conclude
that statements made by it concern
ing the city administration are au-
lucrative. For this reason and be-
cause the mayor is usually held re-
sponsible for most acts of the admin
istration I would like to correct a
statement appearing in this morn
ing's paper. In an article regarding
yesterdays election it is said that
''the weight of the city administra-
tion was also thrown against Mr..
Hinckley." Now while it may be
necessary for such an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. Hinckley as the Bis
marck Tribune to explain his small
majority it could surely be done
without a gross perversion of facts.
AS citizen and voter, in the second
ward, did what could to forward
Mr.. Sanders election but in no way
did I use my official position to hin
der Mr.. Hinckley nor did even sug-
gest to any official to vote for OF

hands of the firms large corps of up
