But the right time to begin training
him is when he is four feet high. For
the first two years all we do is to ac-
custom him to the surroundings. He
is not allowed In the professions except
chained to another elephant. That's
the kindergarten course.
"In the mex grade we teach them
the easy tricks, like standing on a
bucket or rolling a barrel. After that
they learn to telephone and to dance
with their hind feet. It's easy for an
elephant to dance with his front feet.

When thousands of women say that they have been
cured of their ailments by a certain remedy, does this not
prove the merit of that remedy?
Thousands of women have written the story of their
suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by
Lydia E. Pnkhams Vegetable Compound for thirty
years these reports have been published all over America.
Without great merit this medicine could never have
gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills
never could have become known and priced in nearly every
country in the world.
Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that
which will restore her heath2 If you believe those who
have tried it you know this medicine does cure.
Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up
your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to
cure you.
