SUGGESTIONS To
SICK women
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
. in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themed most tsuccess.
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and we'll, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
fammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills
Fourth.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Co. (confidentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. Itis free, will bring you
health and may save your life.

ology and mathematics and had a Won
derful library of 1900 volumes, given

music is largely sacred, very melodious
and follows closely the traditions of the
old Roman school
One of the favorite Kreisler records
is the Aubade Provencale of Louis
Couperin, which is also included in this
group. The haunting loveliness of this
ancient French air. reminiscent of the
Troubadours, makes an instant appeal
to an audience.
The closing number is more modern
being the popular A minor Caprice of

ist, who was one of the great concert
violinists of the middle of the nine

AS Mr. Kreisler is especially generous
with his encores, those having a special
favorite they would enjoy hearing
should send in his request to the presi-
dent of the Harrisburg S. P. c. A, John
