This woman says that sieffr
women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Yegre table
Compound as she did.
: Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence
j r>t., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs.
i Pn^.am:
" 1 was practically an invalid for six
fears, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by tl*e
ioctor's advice, but in a few months I
was worse than before. A friend
▼ised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as I have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
I did with backache, bearing-down
j pains, and periodic pains, should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
! Compound."
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, made

i periodic pains, backache, that bear-
J ing-v .. •>! feeling, flatulency, indices
j tion, dizziness or nervous prostration.
I Why don't you try it ?

T he Power Behind,
At a prayer meeting a
old broth ter stood an? and said
waS' glad*.; to give testimony.
"My *rife and I," he said,
"started in life with hardlv a
cent in the world. We began at
the lowest round of the ladder,
but the Lord has been good to us
and we have worked up—ws
have prosjiered. We bought a
littte farm and raised good crops.
We have a good home and a
nice family of children, and," he
added, with much emphasis, "I
am the head of that family."
After he sat down his wife
promptly arose to corroborate all
that he said. But she edded
with satisfaction, "I am the neck
that moves the head.
What Is the Ust?
We quote, sympathetically,
from a suffering contemporary,
The Robesonian, of Lumberton:
"It is a great pleasure to have
to remark once or twice in a
while that we do not print com
munications when we have no
means of knowing frem
whom they come. But it is very
much to be doubted if it ever
does any good. A person who
does not know better than to
send a communication to a news
paper with a 'please print' re
quest without signing his or her
name—but what's the use?
There is no use.
