The Monroe met light fogs inter

Capes, and had stopped frequently
while they surrounded the ship The
Monroe was equipped with an automatic
time whistle. and this was blown at
intervals of one minute during the fog

the two blasts twice. and almost be-

above amidships at AN angle of about
forty-iivc degrees. AS soon as the
Nantucket backed away the Monroe
began to list, and in ten minutes had
sunk.
That more boats were not lowered
from the Nantucket and more peo-
pie were not saved was due TO the
swiftncss with which il all happened
and was over. That ninety nine per-
sons We're saved is regarded by mari
ncrs as splendid work.

that the Monroe had stopped her en-

occurred. These lights were seen dim

It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots, and
herbs Of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination Of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham' g
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In,the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many Of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and IN some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.
