The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms Of
female complaints is Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. Is has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you

With reference to this latter charge
It has been affirmed by the average

When eating cheese so the guide

bread being the morsel to hold, as
cheese should not be taken with the

Good Stories.

When Jacob Schnitzler, of a city in
Ohio, read in the evening paper that
he was dead, and his body was lying
at the morgue, he went at once to
the place, and sure enough found
himself laid out on a slab as dead as
ayone could be who was not living.
The face of the corpse was so much
like his own. that Jacob had to rub
his eyes, thinking something must
be wrong with his vision; but no,
the mans clothing was like his own.
Jacob could not see the eyes, so he
said
