No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. Nopther med
icine we know of has such . record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia Z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years It has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backaehe, indigestion
and nervous prostration. and it is
nnequalled for carrying women safely
through the period Of change Of life.

THE LEGEND OF TIE PITCHER OF TEARS
Many days stricken mother,
To her loss unreconciled,
Wept hot, bitter tears complaining:
Cruel death has stolen my child
But one night as she was sleeping,
To her soul there came a vision,
And she saw her little daughter
In the blessed fields elysian.
All alone the child was standing,
And a heavy pitcher holding.
Swift the mother hastened to her,
Close around her arms enfolding.
Why so sad and lonely, darling9,
Asked she, stroking soft her hair,

"See the MANY merry children
Playing in the garden fair.
Look, they're beckoninG and calling;
Go and help them pluck the flowers,
Put away the heavy pitcher;
Dance away the So my hours"
From the tender lips a-Quiver,
Fell the answer ON her ears:
"on the earth my mothers weeping.
And this pitcher holds her tears.
Tears that touch the heavenly blossoms,
Spoil the flowers where'er they fall;
So a. long as she is weeping
must stand and catch them ALL

Never more shall tears Of sorrow
Spoil your happiness divine"

And the dreamer woke, her courage
Strengthened for each lonely day.
