It requires a good tonlo laxative to
keep the body of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect of
the poisons oreated by the grip bacil
lus. An expectorant tonlo with some
laxative qualities Is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna.
Mrs. Gentry Gates, 8211) First Ave.,
Hast Lake, Ala., writes: "I had a
bad case of grip. I tried Feruna and
It cured me. I can safely say It Is a
fine medicine."
Mr. George E, Law, 134 N. Frank

satisfied that Peruna la a wonderful
remedy for grip, and I do most heart

NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.
Portland JAI1 wool men agree that
the coming season will be the most
interesting, and perhaps exciting, that
the Western markets have seen in
many years.. Beyond this they will
make no prediction. Prices, of course,
will be good, but whether they will be
high, or how high, no one cares to
guess.
A dealer needs a brave speculative
disposition to undertake forward busi
ness in the face of the conditions this
year. . Nevertheless it Is said con
tracting has been done to a consider
able extent in Utah and it is also re
ported that some contracts have been
signed around Arlington. The terms
were not mentioned, nor could the re
ports be verified.
Sheep growers are confident that
prices will go to a high range and
some of them are talking of a 26 or
30-cent market. With stocks in
America as4low as they are and spot
prices here and abroad continually ad
vancing, there is no doubt the 1915
market will open very strong, but buy
ers are not willing to concede that
farmers will get the prices they are
expecting.
The demand for eggs was better the
latter part of the week, and receipts
cleaned up quickly. Oregons were held
at 32 cents, case count, and 88 ecnts
candled.
Wheat business came to a stop in
the local market this week, and for
the first time this year there were no
sales on the Merchants Exchange.
Most of the dealers evidently had
nothing to offer, and those with a sup
ply on hand wanted too much for it.
Bids for most deliveries were ad
vanced from half a cent, to 1) cents,
while asking prices were generally 1
to 2 cents above bids, and in the case
of prompt bluestem the spread was 8
cents.
Arrivals of poultry and meats were
moderate and prices were steady and
unchanged.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write, to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself-
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Cahden, N. J. I was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic) battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and sooa
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tima
Watibs, 630 Mechanic Street, Camden, N. J.
From Hanover, Penn.
Hanovir, Pa. "I was a very weak woman and suffered from
bearing down pains and backache. I had been married over four
years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
proved an excellent remedy for it made me a well woman. After
taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now have one of
the finest boy babies you ever saw." Mrs. C. A. Kioesodb, ItFJ),
Ho. 6, Ilanover, Pa.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others -why should it fail in your case?
For SO years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male Ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
bas restored so many suffering women to health.
