You continue in sin. you will fall into

gave his life to the work of Christ,
suffering every bodily discomfort and
cruelty, but always satisfied to go on
and on for Jesus
When the evangelist described that
scene in prison. telling of the awful
condition and suffering of Paul and
Silas, and at midnight these men sang,
one could see those men and almost
hear them singing as Mr.. Thompson
brought them before us.

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it 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
