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

pairing plans for an ammunition house
to be erected at the naval magazine on
Iona Island, New York, to cost $40, 600.

protection against accident, special
precautionary features being installed.

is contemplated at the naval magazine
at Lake Denmark, n. T., where will be
constructed a magazine and house
for the storage of high explosives, each

to store high explosives in the keeping
