SEVEN YEARS
OF MISERY
How Mrs. Bethune was Re
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound.
Sikeston, Mo. "For seven years I
suffered everything. I was in bed for
four or five days at a
time every month,
and so weak I could
hardly walk. I had
cramps, backache
and headache, and
was so nervous and
weak that I dreaded
to Bee anyone or
have anyone move in
the room. The doe-
tors gave me medi-
cine to ease me at
those times, and said that I ought to
have an operation. I would not listen to
that, and when a friend of my husband's
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it
Now I look the picture of health and feel
like it, too. I can do all my own house
work, work in the garden and entertain
company and enjoy them, and can walk
as far as any ordinary woman, any day
in the week. I wish I could talk to every
suffering woman and girl, and tell them
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me. Mrs.
Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo.
Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
It has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg
ularities, periodic pains, backache, that
bearing down feeling, indigestion, and
nervous prostration, after all other means
have failed. Why don't you try it?
the Rockies and while the trade there
recently haH been somewhat weaker
with slightly lower prices, the market
here continues to gain headway In
the bullish column.
Hogs sold , here this morning at
$8.60 for one lot or 15c above the
highest market reached recently. The
price Is 57 l-2c above the highest
point east of the Rockies, which In
rather fair considering how It had
acted a short time ago.
The extent of the strength here has
not been fully tested recently. Hog
supplies have been quite fair but
they have not been heavy. Today's
showing Is the best noted for some
days and the way that killers took
hold Indicated that they really need
ed the goods and were willing to pay
for It.
Packing Market is Hotter.
To some extent the strength in the
hog trade her Is due to the much bet
ter tone that has existed recently in
the provision trade. The severe cut
ting of ham prices and in lard also,
subsided some time ago, but the mar
ket for both products Is gaining
ground daily and some recent advanc
es have been ninde 'In the price. The
lurd situation has been a bugbear to
the hog trade for some time previous
to the recent betterment.

Steadiness was shown In the cat
tle trade at North Portland during
the day. The run was heavy, .con
sisting of 882 head, compared with
613 head lu.st Monday.
Top cattle are still quoted at $7 by
the local trade, but the bulk of the
real good stuff is quoted around
$6.90. Some of the arrivals of the
day were contracted by packkers
previous to arrival, therefore these
transactions cannot be considered as
reliable market factors.
