Are Advertised Medicines Worthless,

There is no more reason to condemn all advertised medicines than there is to condemn all physicians or all drug gists. Fakes there are in every pro- fession and in every trade, but they do not last long. Take a medicine like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, the true test of it's merit is the fact that for forty years it has been relieving women of America from the worst forms of female ailments, con- stantly growing in popularity and fa- vor, until it is now recognized from ocean to ocean as the standard rem edy for female ills.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS .-

livery purchaser Of Liberty Bond
or at least every purchaser of Id
berty bond who holds his or her
bond. when reading Of the great
work that big American naval guns
are doing in France can reflect that
they helped to provide these guns
and put them into action and are
keeping them at work.
These guns were put through the
severest test and showed much farth-
er ranges and more accurate fire
than had ever before been possible
with projectiles of such large size.
They do not shoot so far as the long
range gun with which the Germans
bombarded Paris. but they shoot
vastly larger projectiles and they
shoot with accuracy. They are used
not against defenseless cities but
against German defenses and Ger
man railroads and German troops.
Keep your money invested in these
cannon. Continue to help win the
war by holding your Liberty bonds
