Chicago, April 10. Mrs. L. O. Fer-

or emergency ration, which is said to
possess great merit. The Japanese
government has negotiated for a sup
ply, and the Htissian government also
has investigated the food. Lieut.
Evelyn Haldwin has ordered 00,000
pounds of it for use on his polar ex
pedition, while the United States gov
ernment, Mrs. J'Yrstm expects, will
give it n test. The new condensed
food, Mrs. Person explained last night,
is a simple compound of pork and
beans, compressed into n cake. Un
like pemmican and other compressed

London, April 19. It is unfortu

ily, and in central Queensland and tho
north and northwestern portions of
New South Wales the drought is still
as severe as ever. In the meantime
the sheep Industry in Queensland
has been brought to a desperate pitch.
Kims of 250,000 sheep have been re
duced to 5,000, and whole townships
have been depopulated. Many sta
tions in Queensland and New South
Wales have hud no rain for two
years, and the sheep have been re
duced in six years by some 50,000,000.

Have an Abiding Faith in Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
After years of strugglo to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm
and steadfast belief that some day others would rccognizo in us tho truth,
good faith, and honesty of purpose which wo know wn nnsws i,nf ,
ine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize- tho uplifting influence of tho
merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings.
Thus btands tho Pinkham name in New England, and all over America
and nowhere is tho faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo Compound greater
than in New England, its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this.
ORGANIC 1NFLAA1MATION.
"Dkaii Mns. riNKUAjr: I was
troubled very badly with inflamma
tion of tho bladder, was sick in bed
with it. I had two doctors, but they
did me no good. A friend gave mo
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it helped me. 1 have now
taken thrco bottles of it, and I am
entirely cured. It is a God-send to
any woman, and I would recommend it
to any one suffering as I was. I think,
if most of tho women would take
moro of your medicine instead of
going to the doctors, they would bo
better off. Tho Compound has also
cured my husband of kidney trouble."

Box 1G0. Mechanic Falls, Maine.
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
" For two years I suffered from
nervous prostration, the result of
female weakness. I had loucorrhoca
very badly, and at time of menstrua
tion would bo obliged to go to bed.
Also suffered with headaches, pain
ncross back, and in lower part of
abdomen. I was so discouraged. I
had read of Lydia E. Pinkham's Com
pound, and concluded to give it a trial.
I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received
a very nico letter in return. I began
at once the use of her Vegetable Com
pound and Hlood Purifier, and am now
feeling splendid. I have no more pain
at monthly periods, can do my own
work, and have gained ten pounds. I
would not bo without your Vegetable
Compound. It is a splendid medicine.
I am very thankful for what ithas done
for me." Mrs. J. W. J., 70 Carolina

1 1 I cannot help but feel that it is
my duty to do tomething in regard to
recommending your wonderful medi
cine. I must say it
is the grandest
I medicine on earth,
and have advised
la great many suf
fering with female
troubles to take it.
I tell people I wish
1 could co on tho
platform and lco-
turo on it.
My trouble was
painful menstrua
ation. Tho suffering 1 endured pen
cannot describe. I was treated by
one of our most prominent physicians
here for five months, and found myself
getting worse instead of better. At
tho end of the fifth month he told mo
ho had done all he could for me, and
that I had better go to the hospital.
" My sister advised me to try your
Vegetable Compound, as it cured her
of backache. I did so, and took it
faithfully, and am now cured of my
trouble, and in perfect health, many
thanks to your medicine. I cannot
praiso it enough, and would recom
mend it to all who suffer from any
female weakness." Mns. n. S. Baix,

If Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will cure theso women why
not you you cannot tell until you try it. If you aro ill, and really want to
get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk persuade you
that ho has something of his own which, is better, for that is absurd. Ask
