 We doubt if it was the example of Mrs. Polls charity Sunday. In light
 of her past works, we should say that such activity emulates from a greater,
 bigger source than even the example of a parsonage of Royalty. It is the crown of Womanhood. It is the
 origin of the title of Queen. It is an attribute so all encompassing that it puts a fine faith in the response
 of the public to it's plea,-even as it
 searches out the direct need of ba- bies for the best codliver oil.
 It should be pleasant and easy to be among those present at the Palace
 on Sunday.

Of course we know that our med icine does benefit thelarge major ity of women who take it. But that only two out of 100 received no benefit Is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailrnents-not a cure alone that is made by the most scientific process; not from drugs, but from a combination of natures s roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions.
 You see, we have been making, improvingan and refining this med icine for over SO years until 1t is SO perfect and so we'll adapted to wonen's needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit o8 out of every 100 women who take it.

 Replies, to date, have been re- ceived from over SO, women answering that question.
 9s per cent of which say YES. That means that 9S out of every 100 women who take the medi- cine for the ailments for which itisrecommended are benefited by it. This is most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it.
