Mountains of old misunderstanding mgiht be re- moved and many new things per ceived.

THE MAKING OF ' A FAMOUS }.
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills.
 Over 350,O pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is steriized and as final precaution' in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in it's preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound which we are continually pub fishing attest to it's virtue.

DREAMS.

One dreams of hearth and home to be;
One sees but golden store;
While the burdened toiler dreams of rest
When toll shall be no more.
Another dreams of the dance under lights
In the arms of lover true;
One for social fame and power fights
Leaving love to me and you
Then others dream of world of peace;
One of wisdom, delving in lore;
Those who have suffered that suffering will cease
And heart aches be no more.
So ever it is, in some sweet guise.
Hope hangeth the lantern high;
Oh, the DREAMS ahead are the golden stars
That help to live or die.

and hradships there. too. will be found
purple passages 10 Tighten the burden
of the unfortunates OF 10 bring smile
10 lips that have been tight drawn and
lessen the burden OF some ones cross.
James R. Henderson recites a story
of the smallpox scare of fifteen years
ago in Bisbee which carries with il a
touch OF humOr which might well be
retold at this time. when Bisbee is
again feeling the weishty hand OF a
smallpox scare clamped upon her
business life.
Smallpox was no: as well known
by the doctors fifteen years sso," saws
Mr.. Henderson. The disease had
not been the subject Of such a thor
orgh study as in later years, and too,
the city was smaller and did not boast
of such highly competent members of
the medical profession as Drs- Hunt,
Brown, Shine and the other dOctOrial
lights of today"
In those days the disease was feared
more than today, and in. fact it was
more dangerous, because effective
means of stamping it out were not so
well known. Also it was a difficult
matter TO secure nurses TO care for
those attacked by the disease Women
nurses were practically unheard OF
in Bisbee fifteen years ago. for wOm-
en- were scare here then
Therefore. when the disease broke
out and patients were being taken TO
the pest house daily. the only nurse
who would stay on the job was the
town drunkard. Mexicans had been
tried. but always their fear OF small
pox got the best OF them and they
quit So as a last resort the pleas o.
the town drunkari. that he be per
mitted to minister 10 the wants and
needs OF the sick. were taken serious
ly and he went on the job.
In those days il was the general
belief that liberal use OF whisky. in
ternally. was the best possible means
of combating the disease. and this of
course was what caused the town
drunsard TO apply for the nursing job
since ii is a welI-knOwn fact that what
is good for the patient must be good
for the nurse Then. too, the town
drunkard was down on his luck and
whisky mad become hard to get. so he
smOthered his fear OF smallpox in his
craving for whisky and became the
pest house nurse
All went well for a time at the pest
house. then located down the valley
at a point near the present site Of the
town OF Warren. for the town drunk,
ard had all the whisky he could stow
away and was happy. and being q
man of appreciation. he cared for the
sick as well as might be expected
while he treated the patients literally
with whisky, since the supply fur.
nished the pest house was plentiful. =.
Then. one night q new patient was
discovered up one of the canyons, and
the town drunkard came up from the
pest house TO drive the sick man
down there in a rig. Also he came ur
% renew the supply of whisky at the
hospital. as was his custom every
few days.
