AN INVITATION TO WOMEN

Women are invited to visit the labo-
ratory of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co. at Lynn, Mass, and see for
themselves with what accuracy, skill
and cleanliness this wonderful remedy
for women's ailments is prepared.
Over $4,000 pounds of roots and herbs
are used annually in making this
famous medicine. The great bins of
herbs, the huge tanks filled with the
medicine ready to be bottled, and tho
bottling room where it is put up and
labelled for the market, cannot help
but impress them with the reliability
of this good, old fashioned root and
herb remedy, which for the past forty
wears has been so successful in the
home treatment of female ills.

foremost. As the second and third

broke seriously afre. The En-
den's turrets were, by this time,

bodies. weltering around in their
own blood. At i1:20 a. m. she
grounded on North Keeling island,
having gotten beyond control The
Sydney steamed up and sent two
broadsides into her as she lay and
then left temporarily to pursue a
merchant ship, which had come up
during the action.
The sydney overhauled the mer-
chairman, the S. ). Buresk, a Brit
ish collier which had been cap
tured by the Emden. The prize
crew opened the seacocks and mu-
tilated them so that repairs were
impossible. The ship was already
settling as the sydney overlook her
and she soon plunged beneath the
water.
on arriving again off the Emden,
the sydney found that she still had
her cOlOrs up at the main mast
head. The sydney signalled in in
ternal code, "Wil YOU surrender ?"
The Emden replied in Morse. What
signal? No signal books" The
Sydney then made reply i'm Morse.
DO you surrender This was fol-
I,t- ~

reply to either.

agreed that if the sydney received

would be amenable to the ships

whole ship was twisted and batter

Darkness came on before the
wounded could be transferred and
the sydney stood OFF all night. At
3 a. m the following morning
operations were resumed and a
cutter was sent ashore with stretch

had been able to struggle off the
ruined Emden.
The behavior OF the Sydney's
company was especially gratifying
when the fact is considered that a
large number OF young hands and
people under training formed the
predominant element among the
crew.
The captain OF the Emden. Won
