FoRTY YEARs, suooEss

For a business to be successful for
forty years means great deal.
Among other things, it means remark
able excellence ia the products it sells.
No inferior article can be sold on a
large scale fer so many years; and il
must not only be good at the outset,
but so good that the progress Of forty
years shall not develop and better ar.
ticle to supereede it.
SO women can, with confidence, de-
pond upon that old, tried and tested
remedy for woman's ailments, Lydia

still as popular as ever, thought it
was placed on the market before the
centennial year, 1876.

On every hand Colonel House and

the complete confidence of Colonel
House and while the imperialistic views
