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

IA 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 lis.
Over $50, 600 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 Conn
pound which We are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

By permitting dealer pirates between
producer and consumer to fix returns
so low that farmers cannot even bid
for the help they need.
We would like to know, but the gov
eminent cannot tell till after the war
is all over. what is the increase, jan /,
1915, over Jan. j, 1917, in unoccupied
farms, mortgaged farms, aud tenant
farming.
What is the cause"
Why. it Is, most likely, the fortunes
realized in farming last year-the
farmers are all retiring, independently
rich.
But. anyway. let US hope that by
1920 the government teamster will no.
tice that he has put his bride on the
wrong end Of the mule.
