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 T..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
For more than 80 years IL has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation. liberation, local weak
nesses. fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration. and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia f..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclaysa il is worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

Messrs. James S. Lakin, Thomas f.

men who will be named for the board of
control. Thus our friends Bill Dawson
and Arnold Scherr must feel that their
persimmon poles are too short to reach
the plums. The selection of Lakin and
Shepard is claimed as recognition for
both of the Republican factions. The OBJ
jet is to recognize the factions that the
family quarrel may be kept from the
public ears.
