FEARS THE LAW, SO
LEAVES KIN TO DIE

Cleveland.-A m~isconception Of Am
erican law on the part of Otto Pich
gave John Zahour, his father-in-law
10 minutes extra in which to die.
Pich found the old mar hanging in
the pantry of his home. He was still
alive, but Pich says he believed him
dead. Pich had heard that it was IL
legal for anyone but the coroner to
disturb a hanging man, and he left at
once in search of somebody who could
summon hat official. Meeting a po-
liceman he explained the case to him.
The policeman made a quick run
for the Zahour home and succeeded
in cutting the fa~ther-in-law down be-
fore life was extinct. Zahour died in
an ambulance, however, on the way
to a hospital.

Consider This Advice.

No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and ~invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are i'll, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.
