Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women ! am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. - Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RE. d., Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostitution, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
IT costs but little to try Lydia r.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains of gold to suffering women.

With so many commodious and hos

prlsing that the business OF selling
so-called editions de luxe at enormous
prices to credulous people should con
unue 10 flourish, says a writer in Har-
per's Weekly. In a case that was in
the courts last week a rich widow OF
Chicago contracted to pay 1900 for
IL volumes of the works of Charles
Dickens. She actually did pay $50, 900
and gave notes for $4,000 more. and
the case came to court on the suit of
a third party to compel payment OF
the notes. The books are supposed
TO have cost about $50 apiece. There
nave been many of these cases. Usu-
ally the vendors of these literary lux
uries have dealt with rich old ladies'
OF impaired judgment, but sometimes
they have imposed wonderfully on
folk who should have known better,
and are said TO have caught Comp
troller Metz We do not recall that
any one Of them has been sent to pri-
son yet, which argues that their bust
ness has not received the attention
that 1t has deserved.

when Postmaster H. f. Taylor opened

Such situation could not arise
from mail originating in the United
