The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
10 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 $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
70 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.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
80 successful in the treatment Of
female ills.

CHAPTER iV.-continued.

IL came In the form of letter from
Colonel Howard. the first in two years.
Howard had. in the past, repeatedly
tried to induce Mark TO take advantage
of opportunities that he had put before
him, but Mark had refused stubbornly,
until the Major had given him up in
disgust. Howard did not know, and
Mark did not himself understand, the
underlying idea In his own mind, the
sense of subdued rancor against the
man who had robbed him of Eleanor,
coupled with the sense of sacrifice,
that he might withdraw all his claims
on the child.
Now, however, Howard made one
more attempt.
II want you to think this PROPOSE
ton over as quickly as possible" he
wrote, mot for my sake or yours, but
because your duty is to take the job.
With war with Germany in plain view
to the initiated, there are great things
doing in Washington, and I've been
offered my old post at the mobilization
department, which has been enlarged
beyond all knowledge. Your work in
the West is better known than you
think, Wallace, and we want you here.
Wire If you can, and come by the first
train. This is official, so don't wait
for divisional notification, which may
take days."

AS he went EAT the years seemed
to fall from him like dream. 1t was
a frozen labyrinth In which he seemed
to have been wandering; he seemed to
come to himself with a consciousness
Of years wasted, but of years of action
ahead.
Colonel Howard gazed curiously at
him as he rose from his desk In the
war office and grasped his hands.

Wallace" he said.

Lord, how the years have eaten into
