operations, and
thev wanted me to
go through a third
one. I suffered day
and night from in-
flammation and a
small tumor, and
never thought of
seeing a well day
again. A friend
told me how Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound had helped her, and
I tried it, and after the third bottle
was cured.”—Mrs. Ai.vkna Sperling,
II Laugdon Street, Chicago, 111.
If you are ill do not drag along at

until an operation is necessary, but
build up the feminine system, and re-
move tne cause of those distressing
aches and pains by taking Lydia E.
Pinkhain’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs.
For thirtv years it has been the stan-
dard remedy for female ills, and has
positively restored the health of thou-
sands of women who have been troubled
with displacements, inflammation, ul-
ceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, bearing-down

No Need of Buffering from Rheuma-
tism.
It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in muttl
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from the puln which it affords is
alone worth many 11011*8 its cost It
makes sleep and rest possible. Even
in cases of long standing this Lini-
ment. should be used on account of
the relief which It affords. Do not.
be discouraged until you have given
it a trial. For sale by Smith Bros.

W'uiiicii Who Are Envied.
Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and Irritable. Constipation
or Kidney poisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. For all such.
Electric Bitters work wonders. They
regulate Stomach, I.lver and Kid-
neys, purify the blood; give strong
nerves, bright eyes, pure breath,
smooth, velvety skin, lovely complex-
ion. Many charming women owe
their health and beauty to them. 60c

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-
sponsible for much sick ness and suffering,

sults arc most likely
to follow. V our other
organs may need at-
tention, but your kid-
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en-
tire body is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly,” begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial wfll con-
vince you of its greot merit.
The mild and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
