Randolph was now dying and was
most concerned about his will. The
doctor attending him said, "Ihe Will
would explain itself fully" "No,"
said Randolph, "you don't under
stand IL, know you don't. Our laws
are extreme particularly ON the sub
lect Of slaves. a will may manumit
them, but provision for their subse-
quent support, requires that decla-
ration be made in the presence Of
white witness, and IL is requisite that
the white witness, after hearing the
declaration, should continue with the
party, and meyer lose sight Of him un-
III he is gone or dead. You are good
witness for John. You see the pro-
priety and importance Of your re-

ton. John told me this morning,
Master, you are dying"
so the dying concern Of this Virgin
ia slave owner was over his slaves.

No other medicine has been 80
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia l..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bcne-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmanany daymay
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 cared by Lydia
4. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia K. Pinkhs.m's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is wEvie-
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to 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
Re. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.
