have your own way: that gives you q
little more willingness to give way to
others in their ambitions? Sometimes
that is not an indication Of age but OF
a broader grasp Of the real meaning OF
life. Sometimes, nowadays, men and
women acquire that beautiful quality
of mind and heart much earlier than
granted by the expectancy Of human
nature. Tolerance, forgiveness and
love for humanity are cultivable. And
the very moment we begin to forget
ourselves we begin to remember 9TH
ers. When we begin to think Of the
real welfare Of others then the seeds
have taken root and, with the bare
keeping down Of the weeds Of selfish
ness, will grow until we are "a little
less ready to scold and blame"
"A little more careful Of what we
say? Some of US learn that, while
we are young, from experiencing the
cost, and others never learn. Some OF
US learn the use Of weasel words"
and some Of us boast Of being blunt
and outspoken. But as we ripen with
years the tendency is toward more Of
the speak gently" way and less Of the
big stick. 4
In every line Of the above is ser
mon. Some mind that has seen has
called them together. Classics are
not always in the perfection OF the
verse or prose, but more often in the

We are 80 used to thinking Of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as
aremedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one Of the best remedies for disorders
Of the stomach.
For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-
Newfeld, N. W am 50 pleased
to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound as an eco
nonaical and beneficial remedy in most
ailments pertaining to women. At
least I found it SO by only taking two
