ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING
Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in
His Application for
Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro
hibition law, a~pothecaries alone being
permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day a son Of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking a bottle from his pocket, asked
Tor a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put.
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and it's
r%ontents, inquired, in a conversational
manner:
What kind of roots are you going
TO soak?"
Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:

Perience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION:

Women sufferingfrom any form of female weakness arein-
vhed to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi~
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these conf
dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed in your case.
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkhano, care Of Lydia

How to Take Care of the Hands and

The first requisite is always the lit

The cotton is more efficucious than

no time when it did not exist. 1t would
be difficult to say who were the first
slaves. In all the nations around the
