Read this one from Mrs. Waters: Camdejt, N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and my kidneys wero affected. I had a doctor all tho time and used a tralvanio battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go to bed, but spent my time ou a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon 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 mo 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."

Tho commit tee wrote the following indication into Its announcement: ' Wo wish to emphasize that the double-breasted frock coat is by no means relegated to the background.
