But mom mora make tha mistake
Of thinking that they wiU try aomc

That mistake la often a fatal one
fatal to tha health and happiness of

Ia It not foolUh to risk the possible
result of aueh experiments? fa it not
better to depend upon ft medicine
whloh baa been tried eucoeeefully for
thirty year, and which haa never
been found wanting:? Do not therefore
let aajr on perauaae 70a to try some
thing; which they aay ia just aa rood.
It cannot be Just as rood. Mrs. Pink

can be only one beat. . This ia not a
mere assertion, bnt U a poeatire fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
JRely on your own common sense,

Suppressed and Painful
Periods Cured by Lydia
Em Pinkbam's Vegetable
Compoundm
" I was thin, sallow and nervous. I
had not had my menses for over
year and a halt Doctored with several
physicians in town and one specialist,
but did not get any better. I finally
decided to try your medicine, and
wrot to yoa. After I had taken
three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham
Vegetable Compound and three of
Blood Purifier, my menses returned,
and I feel aa well and strong aa I
ever did, and am gaining flesh." Miss

"Before taking the Vegetable Com

menstruation, and suffered great
agony. My physician rave me mor
phine, and I remained io bed. I doc
tored eight yeara and got no relief, and
the doctors told me there was no relief
for my trouble. Finally I tried Lydia
E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound.
While taking the first bottle I felt
that I waa improving. 1 have taken
seven or eight bottles, and never had
anything to do me so much good.
Every month my troubles have grown
less and less, and now at this time I
am cured." Eu-A QunrsET, Ma 82

torture and pain I suffered no tongue

the ten years that I wss free from

and congestion of womb. When I
commenced to take your remedy I had
been bedfast for some time under the
treatment of two of our best physi

You can imagine the benefit J de

thing I never dared to expect."
Mas. C. E. Folasid, Monett, Mo.
For ft Bomber of years I was
troubled with backache and Ieueor
rhosa. I became so weak and miser
able that I could not attend to my
work or studies. .- The least effort
would completely exhaust me. Physi
cians failed to help me. I felt that my
youth waa blighted, and the life before
me wouid be one of suffering and
misery. Then a friend insisted on m
taking your medicine. Before I had
used one bottle I was rreatlv relieved.
I had not known a well day for four
year, but now I feel better than I have
since a child, and it Is all due to Lvdis

HIS JUDGMENT WAS WRONG.
Hound that Tried to Whin AU
loa-a la th Neighborhood.
the
Sooner was a waif, or, more correct
ly speaklug, a soldier of fortune. No!
oue knew bis antecedents. He bad
dragged himself Into Hogarth's yard
one day, worn out and exhausted after
a long run on the trail of a buck. There!
"wag no telling bow far lie bad come, as
1 a fast hound will cover many miles in
j a day, and keep it up for two or three
:daJ's - But he oaJ driven the buck into
' the lake, and the Hogarth boys bad
killed it; therefore they treated the dog
well, and as be liked the place he re
mained aud became one of the house
hold. The time Sooner discovered be had
fighting blood in his veins marked'an
epoch in bis life. He overestimated bis
ability. It Is true, and suffered In con
sequence. A new settler moved Into
that part of the country and estab
lished himself about six or seven miles
from Hogarth's. Regarding the size
it bis family, he wag far behind Ho
garth, but when it came to dogs it was
simply a walkaway. Several breeds
were reprenented in bis collection, but
the "yaller dog" predominated.
Sooner undertook to clean out the
entire crowd alone and unaided. It
; was something of an undertaking, and
I he siient six out of seven day a In the
hospital while the war was on.
"He doesn't seem to be much of a
fighter," I remarked to Hogarth one
day when the subject was under dis
cussion. "Ob. he kin fight all right," Hogarth
replied; "it's bis Jedgment what's
wrong. Sooner't a fust-rate fighter,
but he's a dern poor Jedge of dorgs."
He was game though, and stuck at
It until be bad conquered each one of
the new dogs in turn, with the excep
tion of a huge brlndle bulldog. With j
this dog be employed strategy. He
bowed down before him and addressed
him with smooth words and made
friends with him, and then one day be
enticed him over to his own home, and
all the dogs there pitched on the brin
die bull and hilf killed him. Sooner
became more blase than ever after this
achievement. It so plainly showed his
superiority to all the rest of dog crea
tion.
This fighting trait wot unusual In
hound, for as a rule they are peace
ably Inclined. It served to accentuate
the fact that Sooner was not like other
flogs.
A Memory of School Days.
Sometimes s feller's mind goes on in et

And frUks bark o'er the years when be

The days when with bis spellin' book
McGuffy drove one sick.
An' Wblte gave bitter doses in his third
part 'rithmetic.
When dnk snd dew's a falliu' and the
work that filled the day
I'm restln' from, my memory jes travels
back that way.
An lingers longest with a vision time
can ne'er destroy
The freckle-faced divinity I worshiped
when a boy.
Her face wss pure, each featnre stamped
with innocence, forsooth,
An yet t call ber pretty . would be
stretchin' of the truth;
Though I dreamed all night full often of
her check, sun tanned snd brown,
Her stsrehed-stiff ping suobounet and
her ruffled gingham gown.
The little girls of these days never have
such pansy eyes.
An' Up have lost the way t' frame such
soft an' sweet replies
As those I heard when rambling with, in
happy-hearted joy.
The freckled-faced divinity I worshiped
when a boy.
I plucked the first wild rotes of the
spring for ber to wear.
An' helped to braid tbe blossoms of the
orchard in ber bair;
I stood ber knight an' servitor through
boyhood day the span
An' belli her in my heart until I'd grown
to be a man!
But here's a truce to memory, since lati
tbe hour grows,
Upstairs to bed I softly steal, to dreams
snd sweet repose.
An kins my wife good-night, she who has
been life uearext joy,
The freckle-faced divinity I worshlued
as a boy.
