Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Friday, April, 26, 1907. Muskogee, I. T., Vol 8 CONVENTION DOTS. He had a pocket full of lem- ons but the fellows had a squeezer for each one. L. E. Willis of Tallahassee was one of the hardest workers on deck. He is a hard hitter, a stand patter and as true as steel to his friends. The Indian Territory push were together on every proposition with the exception of the major portion of the South McAlester delegation. A few of the South McAlester fellows wished to endorse the con. The boys had not awakened from their Rip Van Wrinkie sleep but when they received the electric shock from the boys in the trenches, Guess and Wash made a hasty retreat. It was all harmony until Ed. said "dang it," then Harrison got scared and dashed for the p'lice. As there was no danger the p'lice went back home and the harmony of the convention prevailed. It will be a hard matter to pull off another Colored convention in Oklahoma city. The boys seem to think the lemon (ade) was prepred there. McCabe was conspicuous for his absence but report fays that that wiley Mc. had been there before and his fine Italian hand could be seen in the lemon (ade). $500 REWARD The New State Anti-Lynch Law Bureau offers and will pay the sum of $500 to any person, or persons, for the apprehension and conviction of the leader or leaders of the mob that murdered James Williams at Durant, Indian Ter.

DENOUNCE THE CONSTITUTION NEGRO PROTECTIVE LEAGUE MEMBERS TAKE STAND ON QUESTION TO OPPOSE ADOPTION Strong Resolutions Are Adopted at Large Gathering of the Colored Race. Three hundred Negroes, among them the most prominent and able men of the Colored race in Oklahoma, and representing 50,000 Colored citizens, condemned the constitution as prepared by the constitutional convention, and now ready for its submission to the vote of the people, in a meeting held at the court house yesterday after noon and recommended that the Colored voters of the new state use every honorable means to defeat the constitution when the special election is held in August. The meeting latsed but two and a half hours, and considerable discussion was indulged in. The constitutian was pretty thoroughly handled by the speakers, and all appeared to be thoroughly conversant with the provisions. At the end of of the session a committee of eight was appointed by the convention to act in conjunction with the president to draft resolutions expressing the sense of the convention. This committee soon prepared the resolution and it was adopted by the unanimous vote of the meeting. The constitution is condemned in that it is not republican in form, does not comply with the terms of the enabling act, and is not conducive to the best interests of the Negro citizens of the new state. President J. Cody Johnson of the Negro Protective League of the new state presided at the meeting, and William Harrison, the well known Negro attorney of Oklahoma City, was secretary. TEETH $8 TO $15 PER SET GOLD CROWN $3.50 TO $8.50 Copus, Dentist OKLAHOMA BUILDING CADEWOULD BE IN FOR A FIGHT Thinks Republicans Should Be Leaders Against Constitution Post Special Guthrie, Okla., April 22- Tnat the Republicans should nominate no state ticket, but should get out and make a direct fight on the constitution is the opinion expreised by C. M. Cade, of Shawnee, Republican national committeeman, who was here today. "This talk of adopting the constitution and then amending it, is all rot," he said. "It can't be done. Under the gerrymander perpetaated by the first convention the first legislature is sure to be Democratic. After the census of 1910 a new apportionment may be made, but the No 30 chances are theat the legislature will still be Democratic then, and no improvement could be made. I wovld never protest against a political gerrymander but this amounts to a disfranchisement. When the republican convention, I want a direct vote on whether or not we shall support the constitution. If there are 1,000 delegates there, and 501 of them vote to swallow the constitution, I will take it in if it chokes me. But my honest belief is that we should make a straight out fight against the constitution. The constitution can be defeated if the Republicans do not nominate a state ticket, but probably not if they do. Whether or not county tickets will be put out if a matter to be settled locally." Mr. Cade expresses it as his opinion that Haskell will be the democratic nominee for governor, as the result of his observation of the comparative strength of the candidates of the different localities. THE DAIRY Not as Apt to Be Present in Butter Made from Sour Cream. It has been assumed that butter as well as milk contains tubercle bacilli at times and is therefore a source of danger. But little is as yet known about what happens to the bacilli in cream and in butter, but here and there are going on investigations that have in them much of interest. It is possible that in butter are found other forms of bacterial life that are more powerful than the disease germs and are able to destroy them. This seems to be indicated from experiments that have been made at various times, though we must not assume that the matter is as yet settled. In Germany some experimenters added some tubercle bacilli to sweet cream and made butter of it. After ten days the butter was examined and the bacilli found to be alive. It was examined 15 days after being made and the tubercle bacilli were found to be dead. It is possible that the increase of ferments in the butter resulted in the destruction of the disease germs. This was further indicated by the results of placing some of the bacilli in sour cream and making butter out of that. The germs were found to be alive after seven days, but dead after ten days. This is an encouraging feature of the examination. We may conclude from it, says Farmers' Review, that if there is danger of tubercle bacilli being present in milk that is to produce the cream for butter, it is better for the butter to be made from sour cream than from sweet cream. It seems quite evident that the lactic acid ferments are enemies of the disease germs. STERILIZING MILK CANS. Steam is the Most Thorough Agency in the Process. Where steam can be employed, its application to dairy utensils forms one of the best means of sterilizing them. A simple method by which to use it is shown in the accompanying Milk Can Steamer. cut, taken from Farm and Home. The table is about two feet high and three feet square. Covered with galvanized iron, the outer edge of the top is highest and the center, where the drip is located, lowest. Preferably this should be connected with a sewer or a good drain, but may be caught in a pail. Near the drip is also the steam jet which, with the valve for operating it conveniently at hand, makes it very simple to steam out a 40-quart can by setting it over the jet and turning on the steam. Likewise separator bowls, small churns, butter workers, and, in fact, almost anything movable in or about a creamery can be sterilized at a minimum of labor. The man who makes up his mind quickly often "strikes it rich," and then again gets into all kinds of trouble. GONE FOREVER. Ten years ago a farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. Patronize your local merchant who helps you to pay your taxes, support your schools and churches, and lends a helping hand in times of sickness and trouble. HOW CLASSIC WAS WRITTEN. Bret Harte's Great Poem Result of an Inspiration. The war correspondent, Frederic Villiers, has recorded a talk with Bret Harte apropos of the poem, "Dickens in Camp:" "We all felt his loss most keenly in the States," said Harte: "On hearing of his death (I) sat down about three in the afternoon to write an editorial on the great author. I wrote one and then tore it up. Then another, after much pains, was written. This did not please me, so I tore it up. I wrote yet another and threw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was getting late, and I was now keeping the paper waiting for press. I was drumming on my desk, absolutely without another thought in my head; I had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the thing you seem to like so much. Weil, Mr. Villiers, you are not far out. I like it, too." The executive board of the Wesley brotherhood has referred to its general convention to be held in October, 1907, the resolutions from the Brotherhood of St. Paul requesting the appointment of a committee to confer with a similar committee from the St. Paul Brotherhood concerning the unification of Methodist brotherhoods. APPENDICITIS. Not at All Necessary to Operate In Many Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then GrapeNuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I welghed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)

Never Would They Lay Anything but the Freshest of Eggs. There is a German dairyman and farmer, whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes himself upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vicinity. On one occasion he personally applied to a Germantown housekeeper for a transfer of her custom to himself. "I hears dot you haf a lot of drouble with dot dairyman of yours," he said. "Yust you gif me your custom and der vill be no drouble." "Are your eggs always fresh?" asked the woman. "Fresh!" repeated the German, in an indignant tone. "Let me dell you, madam, dot my hens nefer, nefer lay anything but fresh eggs!" BLOOD GETS SOUR. Gives Advice and Tells of Simple Home Mixture. At this time of year, says a wellknown authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. Queen's Most Prized Decoration. One of the decorations of which the queen of Portugal is proudest is the medal of the British Humane society, which she was asked to accept after she had leaped into the harbor at Lisbon and saved a drowning man. On all great occasions this decoration is to be seen pinned on her dress. Her majesty, who is a sister of the Duchess d'Aosta, recently visiting us, is another special favorite of the royal family, and, like her sister, was born at York House, Twickenham. Queen Amelia was one of the very first women to qualify herself as an M. D. She laughingly tells her friends that her most trying patient is King Carlos, whom for years she has tried to diet for "too solid flesh."—Tit-Bits. SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS. Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cuticura Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I went to work again to-night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cuticura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbus Ave., New York, N.

Twenty-five Bushels Wheat and Forty-five Bushels Oats Per Acre Are in Western Canada. Saltcoats, Sask. 8th December, 1906. To the Editor. Dear Sir, I willingly give you the result of my four and a half years' experience in the District of Saltcoats. Previous to coming here I farmed in Baldwin, St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and as I have heard a great deal about the Canadian North-West, I decided to take a trip there and see the country for myself. I was so impressed with the richness of the soil that I bought half a section of land about five miles from the town of Saltcoats. I moved on to the land the following June and that year broke 90 acres, which I cropped in 1904, and had 39 bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of 160 acres, I had 24 bushels wheat and 25 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906, with 175 acres under crop, I had 25 bushels wheat and 45 bushels of oats per acre. From the above mentioned yields you can readily understand that I am very well pleased with the Canadian West. Of course, I have had to work hard, but I don't mind that when I get such a good return for my labor. To anyone thinking about coming to this country I can truthfully say that if they are prepared to work and not grumble at trifles, they are bound to get on. Some things I would like different, but take the country all round, I don't know where to go to get a better. Yours truly. (Signed) O. B. OLSON.

President Murray affixed his signature to the document at 2:46 p. m. and was followed by Peter Hanraty, first vice president, and A. H. Ellis of Orlando, second vice president. After Secretary John M. Young had attested their signatures, the constitution was signed by the other delegates in the numerical order of their districts, T. O. James of Guymon being the first on the list. President Murray signed his name with the pen presented by Custodian W. P. Campbell of the Oklahoma Historical society, made from an eagle quill, with a holder of alfalfa stems, wrapped with Oklahoma grown silk, and his title wtih a pen presented by William J. Bryan of Nebraska. Most of the delegates signed with the pens which they had used during the convention sessions, and carefully preserved them as souvenirs. The republican delegates had previously caucused and decided not to sign the constitution. In all seventy-five delegates signed the constitution, none of them republicans. The signing was completed at 4:16 when Territorial Secretary Charles H. Filson attested the signature, and affixed the great seal of the Territory of Oklahoma. The early part of the afternoon had been spent in checking up the corrections which had been made on the parchment copy since the reassembling of the convention, and after that work had been completed the document was placed on its final passage as corrected and interlined, receiving eighty-five votes, with none against and twenty-seven delegates absent or not voting. The convention reunion committee composed of Delegates Leeper, Herring, Wyatt, Dalton, Caudill and Gardner decided to hold the first reunion of the delegates at Sulphur, probably in August, 1908, although the date was not definitely fixed. Elk City was the only other candidate. The committee effected a permanent organization with Cy Leeper of Sulphur as chairman and Neil Gardner of Stigler as secretary. GUTHRIE: Complete recognition is given to the election laws of Oklahoma and Judge Burford's recent decision on the subject in the new election ordinance reported to the constitutional convention Thursday by the committee of eleven appointed for that purpose on Monday. The new ordinance is almost as long as the constitution, covering 360 type written pages. Its great length is made necessary by the inclusion of detailed descriptions of the commissioner districts and municipal townships in all the new counties. As outlined in brief form by Henry E. Asp, the republican member of the committee, who has been an active part in its preparation, the new ordinance repeals the ordinance heretofore adopted by the convention and adopts the provisions of the Oklahoma election laws, making the governor and one member of each of the two principal political parties, to be named by the state chairmen, a board of election commissioners to receiv and pass on certificates of nomination for state and district officers, members of the legislature, and five representatives to congress, to print and distribute the ballots for such officers and to print and distribute the ballots on the question of the ratification or rejection of the constitution and the ratification or rejection of the provision for state wide prohibition. These officers are the board of election commissioners under the laws of Oklahoma territory, and their duties are extended to the proposed state In Osage county and the new counties in Indian Territory, and the new counties in Oklahoma that do not retain the old county name, provision is made for the appointment of a county clerk to perform the duties of Oklahoma laws such county clerk and a member of each of the two principal political parties, nominated by the chairman, constitute the county board of election commissioners, to perform the duties in the new counties of election commissioners under the Oklahoma laws. The county board of election commissioners print and distribute the ballots for county and township officers and the election supplies. Provision is also made in such counties for the appointment of a board of county commissioners to establish voting places and election precincts and appoint inspectors of election in each precinct under the territorial laws, and with the county clerk to act in each of such counties as a canvassing board to count and certify to the state canvassing board the results of the election, and to issue certificates of election to county and township officers. The state canvassing board as provided by the election laws of the Territory of Oklahoma is continued in force for the purpose of canvassing the returns on state and district officers, members of the legislature and representatives in congress. The manner of canvassing the returns of the election on the ratification or rejection of the constitution and the adoption or rejection of the provision for state-wide prohibition is prescribed in the enabling act. The report is very long and divides Osage county and the new counties in the Indian Territory into municipal townships, and such counties and the new counties in Oklahoma into commissioners' districts, and appoints in such counties a commissioner for each district, constituting the board of county commissioners above mentioned. Provision is made for the governor to issue the proclamation for the election. In the event of his failure or refusal to act, the president of the convention is required to issue the proclamation. In the event of his failure or refusal to act, the secretary of the convention is required to issue the proclamation. Provision is made for the filling of vacancies in the office of county clerk under the laws in force in the Territory of Oklahoma, and also for the filling of vacancies in the office of county commissioners named in the ordinance, by appointment from the governor. In the old counties in Oklahoma Territory the county commissioners and county clerks and local election officers are required to perform the duties at such elections. In the counties that retain the old names, the boundaries of which have been reduced, the county clerk and boards of county commissioners are made the clerk and commissioners for that county, limiting their jurisdiction to the county as described in the constitution. Bishop Potter's Answer. A young clergyman in a remote country district wrote last Easter time to Bishop Potter, saying that he was about to take a wife, and asking if, to save some other clergyman a long and weary journey, he could not marry himself. The bishop's reply was marvelously concise. It said: "Could you bury yourself?" Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

To encourage temperance the British admiralty allows 36 cents a month to sailors who forego their daily ration of rum. But, as a sailor who does not wish to drink rum can draw his rations and sell them to other sailors at 80 cents or even more a month, the temperance plan is not so successful as was hoped.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH WEIGHT AND HEALTH THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED THE TONIC TREATMENT. This Woman Took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and Has Been Well Ever Since. How many women—and men too—are suffering from a general decline in health which the ordinary remedies seem unable to check! How many husbands see their wives wasting away, steadily losing health and beauty, and are powerless to help! Consumption and other germ diseases find in these debilitated systems easy prey, for the lowered vitality is unequal to the task of fighting off the infection of these diseases to which most of us are almost daily exposed. The symptoms indicating the decline which may have results so fatal could scarcely be better described than in the statement of Mrs. William Manley, of 92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case is a typical one. She says: "For six months after the birth of my baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy headaches, which seemed like a rush of blood to my forehead, just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so I could hardly see and black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought on this sickness. My appetite was poor and I was often sick to my stomach. "If I tried to work my feet soon became swollen, paining me terribly. I had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. I was so thin that I weighed only 95 pounds. "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills instead. I soon noticed that my headache was disappearing and my nerves gradually grew stronger. The pills gave me a hearty appetite and I now weigh over 130 pounds. I believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder a woman can take, as they certainly helped me when my condition was critical and I have never been seriously ill since." The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. If you are ill and the treatment you are taking does not cure you, write for proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done in similar cases.

A Presbyterian clergyman was praising the late Dr. Henry Martin Field of Stockbridge, who for 44 years edited the Evangelist. "Dr. Field did so much good," he said, "because he went about his work diplomatically, sensibly reasonably. I once heard him declare that reformers failed often because the moment they started a reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal. He said that a nerve cure faddist once entered a shop and leading the proprietor to one side whispered mysteriously: 'Ah, my friend, you can do the race untold good if you will only take the agency for our antitea preparation. It is warranted to cure in a week the most confirmed and nerve-racked tea tippler. Never again—' "But the dealer langhed and drew away. 'You have made a mistake,' he said. 'I can't take such an agency as that. Don't you see that this is a teashop?' "'Oh, no mistake,' said the reformer eagerly. 'It is because you run a teashop that I have sought you out. You come into constant contact with the very people we are trying to reach.'" Australians Will Go Back. Australia has arranged for the repatriation of 1,000 discouraged Australians now in South Africa. Discovery of Alcohol. Alcohol was discovered in the thirteenth century. The Evolution of Household Remedies. The Evolution of Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome, old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They learned to trust and believe in judgment, and to rely Muskogee Cimeter. W. H. TWINE, Editor. MUSKOGEE, - - IND. TER. A People's University. The magnificent building of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg, which has just been dedicated in the presence of representatives of foreign governments and men of learning from all over the world, is a memorial and tribute to human aspiration. It is not accident, but a significant and natural thing that this great people's university should rise in the heart of the roaring, grimy, Birmingham of America. Here the great fortune of the donor was in large part made. Here are the men who helped him make it. Here he, too, in his youth, worked with head and hands, and felt that insatiate thirst for knowledge and light which the new institute will help to satisfy. To this day Mr. Carnegie holds in grateful memory the person who helped him by such small favors as the loan of a single book. The Carnegie Institute embraces five great departments: the library, with a quarter of a million volumes; the museum containing one of the finest natural history collections in the world; the art gallery, with its annual international jury and generous prizes; the music hall, where the best work of great composers has an adequate presentation; and the great group of technical schools, for admission to which 10,000 students have already applied. It would be unjust to overlook the courage and the far-sighted generosity of the city of Pittsburg in building up the institute, says the Youth's Companion. Every offer which Mr. Carnegie has made has been met half-way by the municipality, and every step his philanthropy has advanced has been promptly paralleled by the city. Skilled workmen and the great industries in which they are engaged have made Pittsburg one of the great American cities. The Carnegie Institute will help to place it among the great educational and artistic and musical centers. Although its physical atmosphere is dark and smoky, its mental outlook is bound to be clear, wholesome and invigorating. Great printing works are established at Nartang, in Thibet. A traveler says: "There are thousands and thousands of blocks at Nartang, comprising matter in type equivalent to numerous different volumes. Each wooden block is about 24 inches long by 12 inches wide, one face having carved upon it a complete page of lettering. The method of printing is primitive in the extreme and consists of laying the paper on a flat surface and levering the block upon it with a long handle, much as the village blacksmith works his bellows." One of the gravest perils which fire fighters are constantly facing is the fierce heat. After successful trials, a newly-invented "heat veil" has been introduced into practice at Cologne, Germany, where 200 men have been supplied with the appliance. The veil is made after the principle of a safety lamp, with double windows. It is composed of fibers of cane, which possess the peculiar property of retaining water for a considerable length of time. The veil is made damp before being fastened to the fireman's ordinary brass helmet. A breaking out on the battleship Georgia is causing some trouble, but as the breaking out is measles, not mutiny, the authorities feel confident of dealing with the issue.

THE CHANC Sensible Advice to Wome Mrs. Fred Certia MRS HENRY LEE Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizziness are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected. Mrs. Fred Certia, 1014 So. Lafayette Street, So. Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the ideal medicine for women who When a medicine has been actually thousands of women, you it, "I do not believe it will help and family to try Lydia E. Pinkh W. L.

FRED CERTIA are passing through Change of Life. For several months I suffered from hot flashes, extreme nervousness, headache and sleeplessness. I had no appetite and could not sleep. I had made up my mind there was no help for me until I began to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, my bad symptoms ceased, and it brought me safely through the danger period, built up my system and I am in excellent health. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound unsurpassed for women during this trying period of life." Mrs. Henry Lee, 60 Winter Street, New Haven, Conn., writes: "After suffering untold misery for three years during Change of Life I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I wrote you of my condition, and began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and followed your advice, and to-day I am well and happy. I can now walk anywhere and work as well as anyone, and for years previous I had tried but could not get around without help. I consider your medicine a sovereign balm for suffering women."
