known Only For The
Good II Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received SO many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

pound ia made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is
because it contains ingredients which act
directly upon the female organism, re-

WIDE PUBLICITY ON HEALTH.
This Urged as Best Method of Preventing

Washington, Sept. 2l.Trust the peo-

selves in health affairs without being
driven" declared DIR. Woods Hutchinson
of New York in an address yesterday
before the American Public Health asso-
citation. The time had passed, he said
when any Of the trappings of mystery
need be placed about questions relating
to public health. Twenty five years ago,
when medical knowledge was much less
advanced, mystery probably was neces-
sary, he declared, but full publicity was
needed to-day.
Health authorities should not try
to make the people believe that they
know it all" said he. They should take
the people into their full confidence with
what they do know, and tell them that,
as knowledge of health problems in
crease, it will be impaired to the peo.
pie"
Wide publicity and discussion of
health problems, he declared, were doing
more to bring the United States into
an excellent state of health than the
strictly enforced laws in some other

PRICES DROP LOW
IN PHILADELPHIA
Big Crops and Good Ones Bring Much
Happiness to the
Housewives

Philadelphia, Sept. 2L-Housewives
are to-day enjoying the lowest prices
known in the local produce markets for
years. No longer are they perplexed by
the high cost of living. Not only is
produce abundant, but it is cheaper
and OF higher quality than in previous
seasons.
1t is estimated by market experts
that the local potato crop is larger this
season than it has been in ten years;
the apple crop the best since 1896, and
onions are four times as plentiful than
ever before Tomatoes are selling from
ten to twelve cents per basket. Lass
year they sold from forty to fifty cents.
Similar conditions are shown in the
string bean, cauliflower, grape and corn
markets.
