"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her ~neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a womans expert
ence with Lydia E. Il inkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.-"when 1 first began taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. L had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. / had tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"For three years I lived on medicines and thought / would
never get well, when i read an advertisement of Lydia E.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
envy husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me 81 much good I continued its use. 1 am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
81 advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure yOu."-Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland St, Houston.
ANY woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

common practice of shooting at aero

NEW ORk, NOV. ~, lSUS.
Market conditions remain unchanged.
There is an active inquiry for all types
of leaf and fair-sized transactions for
all desirable types. Wisconsin has again
taken the lead in activity, thus proving
our predictions of many weeks ago as
correct that the binder situation is a
pressing one. AS for the filler stock,
that will be next in line for rushing
trade. The Pennsylvania packing CEN
ters are being cleared of all old avail
able stock and prices have gone beyond
sixteen cents. Our predictions, there
fore, that the price of Pennsylvania BIS
is likely to reach within the course of
next year the figure of the boom year,
1907, is therefore almost certain to be
verified. The same situation prevails
as to Ohio, Zimmer's and Gebhardt. In
wrapper leaf Sumatra continues to pre-
dominate the market. Sales are steady
and satisfactory both to importers and
buyers. The Florida is also again in
the foreground. Comparatively it is the
cheapest type in the market, and man.
ufacturers are not slow in taking ad-
vantage of the only bargain offered.
AS soon rs the accumulated stock of
the Florida is lifted, firmer and higher
prices will prevail again. In the Ha-
vana market assteadily advancing busi-
ness can be noticed. Sales are brisk in
all grades, and the prospective advance
in prices is an incentive for heavier in
vestments. Journal

LANCASTER. Pa. Nov. l

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 16, 1909.
The local leaf tobacco market the
past week was pretty much the same
as it had been the week previous. Old
tobacco, being scarce, is being sold only
in job lots. The 1906 goods is bringing
as much as 18 and 10 cents, cent or
two more pound than the 1907 tobac-
CO, because of the former being mild
er tobacco.
Trade was even dull in the 1908 goods
which is really about all the local pack
ers have to trade with now. Plenty of
inquirers were in the city but not many
did any buying, as they consider the
prices asked too high.
Some selling took place at 16 and IL
cents, but these prices do not suit the
local men, as rule, who look for a
further advance on these goods, for
two reasons, because old goods are
nearly cleaned out and the new crop of
this county is very short one. The
1908 tobacco is the very kind the manu-
facturers want, and must have, and it
is natural that holders of these goods
look to liberal profits under the circum-
stan ces. 1t is because the Lancaster
county growers know that old tobacco
is scarce and the 1908 is in great de-
mand, and will soon be out of the open
market, too, that they will ask stiff
prices for their 1909 crop. They de-
mand now from IL to Is cents pound,
though as yet only a few crops have
been sold. Stripping is now going on
but will not be finished until early in
December, and until then there is not
much likelihood of any considerable
quantity being sold. Much depends on
the condition in which the crop cures,
and the views of dealers and growers
differ materially, now, as to the man
ner in which the crop is curing. New

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

GDGERTON, WIS.,, Nov. 70, l9O9.
There is but little change to note in
the conditions prevailing in the loca
markets of the state. The big storm
early in the week has curtailed riding
somewhat for few days, but buyers
of the American Cigar Co. are posted
in most of the growing districts and all
of them are making some purchases at
figures within the limit which is con-
ceeded to be seven cents. Other than
the movement to take over the cheaper
grades there is but little doing.
Matters have again lapsed into rather
quiet lines in the cured leaf markets.
Reports of some fair sized transactions
of Wisconsin goods reach us from the
eastern centers. but locally the trade
is generally in small lots. The sale of
185cs of '07 low grades has come to
notice. Out of town buyers have been
conspicuous by their absence during the
week.
So far there has been but little of
the new crop removed from the curing
sheds, though growers now have their
farm work so we'll along that some at
tention could be given to stripping.
The shipments out of storage reach
1904 cases for the week from this mar
ket to all points.
