"From 1870 to lt0." ha vara. the

ths next 34 years too decline amotmtad
to 17.85 par eont of tba average for
1810. Ths net decline from 187 to
1890 averaged 11.14 per cant. Tha de

ing tha rears from 1870 to 1104. tba
rata for the earlier year being about
Itt times that of tha latter, and tba net
saving to tha shippers averaged 11.08
mills per ton per mile."
' Tha report says that tha cost of
transportation In 1804 was nearly 81,
000.000,000 less than It would have been
had tha rates for 1870 still prevailed.
Tha passenger buainess of 1804 sx
eeeded that of 1800 by mora than 16 par

from an average wage of 8587.28 in 1900

8 When a woman suffering; from

frightens ber. ,
.The very thought of ths hospital,
the operating; table snd ths knife
strikes, terror to her heart. 1 '
It is quite true Wat these troub

ration is ths only resource, but a
great many women have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after an operation has
been decided upon as the only sure.
The strongest and most grateful
statements poasiblato make come from women who by taking;
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
mads from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations! as
evidenced by Miss Rose Moore's case, of 807 W. 80th St. N.Y. She writes:-
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured me of ths very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to you pay deepest gratitude, I suffered Intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden lb my family. I
doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and eonstan tiy objecting;
to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble
and I am now in better health than I hare been for many years."
This and other such eases should encourage every woman to try Ly
dia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation.

Will Bring You What Millions Have Used to Get Well
II vou need help, won't you sccept
it nn anrh fair terms as these? Say,
if you will, that the facts sbout TJquo
t one seem too good to be true. Doubt,
if you. must, that tWls product does
hat other means cannot" accomplish.
But remember that millions know bet-n
ter because they have tried it. And
for each one who says that , these
things csn't be done there are thou
sands to answer, "They 'were done
with me.
We ask you to use what they used;
to use it at our expense. iei tne
product itself convince you.
What Liquozone Is.
Liauoione is s tonic-germicide, the
virtues of which are derived solely
from oxide gases. No alcohol, no
narcotic, nothirig.bt gas enters into
it. The process ot making requires
large apparatus, and consumes 14
days' time. The object is to so com
bine the gases with a liquid ss to
csrrr their virtues into the system.
The result is a germicide so certain
that we publish with every bottle an
offer of $1,000 for a disease germ that
Liquozone cannot kill. It destroys
them because germs are of vegetable
origin. But to the body Liquozone is
exhilarating, vitalizing, purifying.
That is its main distinction. Com
mon germicides rs poisons when tak
en internally. They sre impossible,
foe ibex dcitcoy, ths tissues as .well
as the germs. That is vhy medicine
proves so helpless in dealing with
germ diseases. Liquozone, on the
contrary, sets ss a remarkable tonic.
We Paid $100,000
For, the rights to Liquozone, after
thousands of ' fests had been made
with it, after its power had been dem
onstrated for more than two years in
the most difficult germ diseases. Con
ditions which hsd resisted medicine
for years yielded st once to it, snd
liseases considered ineurabls were
cured.
' That was five years ago. Since then
millions of people in every part of the
world have shsred in ths benefits of
this invention. Nearly every hamlet,
every neighborhood, has living exam
ples of its power. Now we ssk you to
let it do for you what it did for them.
Germ Diseases.
Most of -our sickness has, in late
vesrs, been traced to germ sttscks.
wm germs ss in skia troubles di
rectly stttck the tissues. Some create
toxins, causing such troubles ss
Rheumatism, Blood Poison,- Kidney
Disease and nerve weakness. Some
destroy vital organs, as in Consump
tion. Some like the germs of Ca
tarrh create inflammation; some
CaUtse indi)rrtion. In one rf three j
ii-iit ivij sriivui a.iinrni !
a germ it... -t, 1 1
Such conditions call for a germi
cide, not for common drugs. Liquo
zone does what other means cannot
accomplish. And it is wrong to cling
to old ways when millions of people
know a way that is better.
