finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried LydLa JE. Plnkham'S

Raral Carriers Convention.
The rural mall carriers were In -session

$660 a year, while If It Is over that long he
may get I7S0 a year. This Is particularly
hard on eastern carriers, who do Just as
much work and work just as hard, but
whose routes are shorter.
