Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutio value.
This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics,
or other harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largostnumber
of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever
known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file In the
laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value.
Mrs. C. E. B'lnk, of Carnegie, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkliam: "I
wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good
and what It has accomplished for me I know It will do for others.'
When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulcer

HEALTH OF WOMEN
In UiU nineteenth century to keep
up with tho march of progress every
power of woman Is strained to its
utmost, and tho tax upon her physi
cal systeni is far preater than ever.
In the jjood old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers few drups were
used in medicines. They relied upon
roots and herbs to cure weaknesses
and disease, and their knowledge of
roots and herbs was far greater
than that of women today.
It was in this study of roots and
herbs that Lydia K. Pinkhara, of
Lynn, Mass., discovered and gave
to tho women of the world a remedy
more potent and eflicucious than
any combiuation of drugs.

young man, M. Smoothy, to be my press

him plenty of dollars with which to en

tho lunch M. Van Bibber did tell me
how to make additional millions by

it was necessary to return to the Mor

I took three large rolls, anJ darted In
to one fiacre to escape those reporters.
"Talk with M. Smoothy!" I cried to
them as I disappeared to my hotel. M.
Smoothy conducted those reporters to
one saloon and did tell them many
things of myself which I did not know
before.
At my hotel the fame of me had ar
rived. Those clerks were most polite.
They Insisted that I should occupy that
grand bridal chamber. It was made
of almost solid gold. Those bellboys
did run back and forth with telegrams
to me from M. Grlpperman, M. Van
Bibber, and M. Smoothy. I sent to M.
Grlpperman the fifty thousand dollars
to be deposited as security for good be
havior as director of those syndicates,
according to the law of M. Roosevelt.
Many persons sent carJs to me.
Some of them I detected to be scound
rels and swindlers. Others I did not
detect at that time, but after they got
much money I detected them. They did
sell to me automobiles, clothing, min
ing shares, apartment houses, tunnels,
theatrical companies everything! Y'et
was much tired of such business, and
refused to become more rich as they
told me. I longed for the refreshment.
M. Van Bibber did dine with me that
night, and we went to the theatre.
Those speculators took much of my
money, yet I had enough remaining for
: many ushers, porters, drivers, bellboys,
' clerks, and waiters. After supper we
j walked upon the Broadway, so brilli
ant, so animated with beautiful wom
en! All of those women did know me!
I I had supiise, yet pleasure. One beau
! t if ul brunette did smile to me, and ask
I ed me to step In that doorway out of
that horrid wind. With pleasure I ex
cused myself to M. Van Bibber, who
looked with eagerness into those shop
windows. In tho doorway the lady
burst Into tears telling me of many
troubles with the brutal man who pur
sued her for alimony. With pleasure
I gave to her one hundred of dollars.
She was happy Instantly, and Impul

gone when we arrived at my hotel.
M. Van Bibber did kindly tl pthe ele

me to that bridal chamber.
Those newspapers on the next morn
ing did frighten me. My picture was
everywhere, with the interviews on all
subjects. More reporters did send
cards to me for denial of these Inter
views. M. Smoothy appeared. I did
give him the check upon the M. Mor

we went again to the bank. I took out
all that was left. To M. Smoothy I.
gave one-half for safekeeping and the
other half I pinned inside of my waist
coat. We looked at that ticking machine
to see how those millions were to come
to me. Languidly I read many things.
Dlable! What is it I see? "M. Grlp

pears! All companies financed by him
forced to the wall! Warrant out for
arrest of M. Clam, who Is supposed to
have some money left. Wall street
determined to get it!"
One stranger politely tapped my
shoulder. I shudder! It is the arrest!
Y'es, I am not mistaken. I read that
warrant. It says; "M. Clam shall pay
all those debts of companies, syndi
cates, and corporations of which he is
director, If he Is able. If he is not ab

or go to the Sing Sing for eternel life.
This is the law of Wall street." j

he Is not there! He is gone! I rush
to the telephone for M. Van Bibber,
but there is no Van Bibber, all people
say! That stranger says: "Very well,
let us catch the boat to Sing Sing!"
Desperately I tear open my waistcoat
and tell him to help himself. After
After taking that roll the stranger looks

for more. There Is no more! At the
last, I am not one millionaire! With
J politeness that stranger bows and turns
the corner. I return to my hotel.
Those clerks do not know me! I go
to that gold chamber, but It is locked!
I search, but my baggage Is not any
where! That hotel detective scowls at
me and says: "Sklddoo!" I think this
means something very bad.
Instantly I walk to Wall street to
find my friends. I cannot find that
Babel building! Those policemen will
not reply to my question.
Those elevated railroads run over
me, those automobiles ineaiiy kill me
several times. Once I almost fall to
death In the deep hole In the earth.

should I do? Where should I go? That
