WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E.. Pinkham Medi-
 cine Go.

Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. are continually publishing, genuine Are they truthful 2" "Why do women write such letters? ?"
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote 1t.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Go. is that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
 It is impossible for any woman who is we'll and who has never suffered S0E/ NMs\16J to realize how these (D/ &1 @SSM\W poor, suffering wo- ' <& \vO men feel when re- Yg S " n stored to alth; ~ / their keen desire to C\ [21 |h help other women W\ GEN1TM>W who are suffering as GyEAS S<hNS1NA they did. f76R FNKA6M

Frank Marion of Stockings Corner is today mourning the loss of valll- able horse, which fell through the ice yesterday afternoon and was drowned. There Is a small pond on MT. Marion's S farm, from which he obtains his yearly supply of ice. The cold Nyeather of the latter part of last week froze the water to a depth of six inches in the place, where the owner tested it. There was a heavy coating of snow on the pond yester- day and MT. Marion hitched his horse to a scraper to remove the snow before cutting. MT. Marion was steering the scraper, while his helper Frank Hickey led the animal. They had reached the middle of the pond when, without any warning the ice broke and Hickey and the animal were thrown into the water. The depth at the point is estimated at fifteen feet. MT. Marion procured a plank with which he rescued Hickey, tut as the horse could get no footing it f1oundered about in the water until completely exhausted and then sank out of sight. MT. Marion was at a loss to account for the ice breaking.
