The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinksam's
Vegetable Compound J,
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 $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 SUBJ
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.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation.
which has made this famous Daedicine
% successful. in the treatment of
emale ills.

CARBBRATION

Being the third and one of the
most important functions of motor
we find it a very hard task to ex-
plain the real value. of same.
Owing to the fact that there are
as many as hundred different makes
of oarburetors but none having the
same adjustment, it would be inn
possible for us to instruct each in
dividual how to adjust their carbure-
tors. We do not claim that we know
each carburetor in it's self but we
do know that all carburetors work
on the same principle and can be ad-
justed properly by us.
There are three systems of getting
gasoline to the earburetor, namely:
air pressure vacuum and gravity, the
enc used the most being the vacuum
system.
More or less trouble with carbura-
tion is as follows: clogged gas line,
water in gas, dirty strainer, bad adj
justment of needle valve or air, leaky
manifold or gaskets, sticking meter
ing pin orfioat, logged float in car
buretor or vacuum tank, leaky auxil-
larry tank-vacuum clogged spray noz
eel, bent needle valve, valve holding
open or in fact many other causes
too numerous to mention. Owing to
the fact gasoline of today is of very
low test and consists of many for
eign matters that are impossible to
ignite We advise very close adj
justment of carburetor to produce
greatest mileage per gallon of gas.
Hoping this advice will be of bene-
fit to you, also benefit to us as we
are Waiting for call from you.

Immediately one mixed carload of

Last Saturday Commissioner j.
Walter Barnes received communica-
