LYDIA e. PINKHAM

No ether 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 Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. ~ lost 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 day may
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 r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is SO
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a 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
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

The Slgus Got Mixed.

The local paper in a Mississippi
town recently had occasion to de-
scribe a wedding. On the same
day an article was written con-
corning two impudent tramps
who had visited the town. The
new boy in the office managed
to get the slugs mixed with the
following results:
The bride entered at the right
escorted by her brother who
knocked at the door demanding
something to eat. She was
beautifully gowned in gray trav-
cling costume. The groom wore
the conventional suit for such af-
fairs, a ragged brown coduroy
suit a soiled shirt and a battered
derby hat and was accompanied
by a fierce looking bull dog. Both
were dirty and unkempt. They
left town in a side-door sleeper
of a local freight train followed
by showers Of rice, old shoes and
good wishes. If they should be
caught here again they are like
ly to be roughly handled by in
digant citizens. Exchange.

Man and R>~c1.

In the every day walk of bus
mess life religion frequently gets
below par. 1t is not the fault of
the religion but of the man who
handles it. When a mans re-
ligion won't get him credit at
the grocery store for sugar, po-
tatoes. etc., it is below par.
When q mans religion won't get
him d small loan at the bank
without two or three endorsers
on the note it is away below
par. When the neighbors say of
a fellow, He belongs to the
church and claims to be awful
good, but | would not trust him
an inch, the fellows religion is
below par. When the people
laugh at a man as he wends his
way homeward on Sunday morn
ing and call him ahypocrite, the
mans religion is below par. Re-
ligion doesn't make the man.
Man makes the religion: Religion
in the hands of a trickster. schem-
er and hypocrite is bound to be
below par. In the hands of the
honest and sincere man it scars to
the skies and is accepted at face
value over any counter. Elk.

Catching Cold"

There is no such thing as catch
ing cold" We catch heat"
In an extract credited to the
Rochester Post Express what is
called "a cold" and how it is
contracted are explained as fol-
lows:
PROF. Koch declares that
colds are due to catching heat
which is more or less of a para
doX. Curiously enough Eskimos
never have colds at home, and
they are immune to pneumonia.
But when they come to this eli
mate they nearly all slccumb to
this disease. Commander Peary
corroberates this statement. In
his work on Artic exploration he
records that none Of his parties
ever suffered from coughs or
colds in the polar regions. but
after their return all contracted
heavy colds. AS bearing out
Prof. Koch's contention it is in
teresting to record that pneu-
monia is now the most fatal dis
ease in Panama, and that 'trop-
ical colds and bronchitis are com.
mon in the countries lying neal
to the equator. 1t would seem
as if our methods of living dur.
ing the winter are responsible
for our prediction for taking
cold. Undoubtedly our house.
are over-heated, end as Prof.
Koch says, instead Of catching
cold when we leave the house
we catch heat when we enter
it."
