following to say concerning the influenza
epidemic:
Previous to September II OF last year
the health conditions of Brattleboro had
been quite normal From September II,
1918, to February /, 1919, there have been
reported and recorded 1871 cases of intiu-
enza and for the same period %. Deaths
"a OF them from influenza and pneu-
monia There were probably unreported
cases enough to make the total well above
500 hundred cases. Crediting Brattle
boro with 5000 population, we have a
death rate of "a per 1000 of population
from the epidemic. The emergency hos
pital filled very urgent need and doubt
less saved several lives. Our mortality
rate has been lower than that of many
other towns. We were very fortunate
in having the use of the Goodhue house
for hospital purposes and competent
nurses to manage it.

WOMEN

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Corr ound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn -" For two years
/ suffered with a female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was so weak and tired that | was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me touse Lydia Z. Pinkham' Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
Ny pains left me and am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
llsh my testimonial and if your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
1t has me will be very much pleased. !"
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia f. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine trial, and for special advice
write Lydia e. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
experience is at your service.

THE FAME or FLORIDA

The fame of Florida has reached
from the extreme southeast to the
extreme northwest or it may be
safely asserted that it is boundless
over the continent
From The Portland oregoaian
comes the following interesting
story:
'Everyoiie, of course, is aware that
this far southern state (Florida) pro-
duces most of the fresh vegetables
utilized in Che northern and eastern
states during the winter and early
spring months. In brief, the ,agri-
cultural richness due to the soil and
climate Of Florida is well known. We
have also nome to look upon the
country discovered by Ponce de Leon
when in search of the fountain Of
perpetual youth. as the great restorer
of the youth of the nation today and
as our greaA winter playground
where thousands of Americans go
annually during the frozen period to
escape the climate rigors of the north
and to bask In the balmy air and sun
shine and forget the cares of bust
ness and everyday existence But
few Americans have ever looked upon
Florida as a mining state of impor-
lance Thus to many it will come
as surprise that in one mining
product. phosphate, Florida today pro-
duces about 81 per cent of the entire
worlds supply and about 80 per cetn
of the supply of the United States,
and the war has shown that this is
an exceedingly important and valu-
able product of great use in both
times of war and times of peace. In
cidentally these phosphate beds, un-
DERIVING to q greater or less extent
almost the entire surface of the state
are one Of the great reasons for the
great productivity of Florida soil"
