and boys. The discovery of the last
century was woman, and believe that
the twentieth century is going to feel
more than ever, the moralizing and up
lifting influence of woman in our gov
ernmental affairs. She elevates man s
motives, purifes his feelings and adds
ten-fold to his moral force and infu-
ence. 1t was woman who put the kiss
of love and loyalty on the lips of her
soldier husband, and while her heart
was almost breaking said, go, though
| need you, your country needs you
more. May the God of heaven bring
you back to me and the babies a VIC
tor. F" 1t was woman who followed
her son to the gate and with a mothers
loving embrace babe her boy, as he left
his home for the battlefield, be loyal,
true and brave, then went back to her
lonely home with heart full of tears.
Yes, woman did her part in winning
the victory that has blessed this coun-
try. With a tender heart and patriotic
devotion she went from hospital to hos
pital, binding up the wounds of the
disabled soldiers, watching by the beds
of the sick, soothing, by her sympathy
and deeds of kindness, the distressed,
who were tossing on beds of pain. 7 es,
and even on the battlefield the touch of
her tender hands was felt by many a
fevered brow, after giving life to the
dying soldier by holding to his lips the
cup of water for which he craved.
Woman's influence stands out in the
very forepart of American history and
nowhere has she exercised more in
fluential part than in her work in help
ing the cause of liberty and union in
the war of 81.
Ladies of the Relief Corps, in behalf
of the people of Edgerton and vicinity
/ extend to you the heartfelt thanks of
a grateful people for the work you
have accomplished for the good of hui
mainly.
Soldiers of the G. A. r., would like
to compliment you on your achieve
ments for the good of this nation, and
for the example of humanitarian patri-
otism you have given to the world at
large, but am not skilled in the art of
words. In the name of the people of
Edgerton and surrounding country
thank you. May the God above, in
whom we trust, bless you, and when
the Great Commander calls the roll in
the land of victory and eternal peace,
may not a soldier of the G. A. r. be
missing. My closing words are: Let
us all be true, loyal and brave patriots,
having as our watchword, Liberty and
union; now and forever; one and insep-
arabic. =

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-doWn feeling, t1atuIency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are sufferingf from anyof these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinlham's Vege-
table Compound a trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. PinkhaIn, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free Of
