The MAKING Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound
IL 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 ills.
Over $50, 900 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 sterilized
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 its 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 its virtue.

steps have been taken or plans under
way to require idle men 10 20 to
work Farmers know they cannot in
crease their food-crop production
unless they have more labor. Town
people know thcy will suffer inCon-

very high prices for the reduced
rations they are able to buy, If the
farmers do not increase production.
And both farmers and town people
know, AS all the world knows, that
we can't win the war unless we have
ample food. So, states and counties
and towns the country oyer are de

SPARTANISM IN

Deny Themselves Many

(By AN O. S. oFFIcER)

Since my recent return from Great
Britain | have been greatly I'M
pressed by the attitude OF the Ameri-
can people toward the food question
The impression seems TO he general
that people here are being asked to
deny themselves In order that the
English may indulge themselves In
an abnormal plenty. In the interests
of a people who are our allies, and
who are actually In need Of toAd,
this impression needs correction I'm
several particulars.
First, we In the United States are
not denying ourselves. Apparently
we have not yet learned what self

And next, the English are not only
not In a position 10 consume food at
the discretion or pleasure of the in
divdual hut they are actually fac
Ing u dire scarcity And lastly, the
situation In England viii soon be
such MS to7cclnpel as really TO deny
ourselves far beyond anything yet
asked OF US, in order that they may
have even the present restricted ra-
tions.
