Had (hoy only known 11 many ten
ants In tho Htato durlnB tho past year
might liavo had a nlro tlmo with their
Inndlordfl. When rout day came around
the landlords would have had to appear
iiromptly or wait until tho next ruit
day. Such Ih tho decision of tho hii
Iromo court In tho case of Godwin
against Harris, from Douglas county,
in which section .1,020 of tho civil code,
as enacted In J 875, Is discovered to ho
unconstitutional on tho ground that It
wuh not properly titled, and therefor
was without legal effect. This loft the
old common law rules In force, says
tho court. These required that the
landlord must make prompt demand
for tho rent on the day llxcd In tho
lease, neither before, nor after. He
was allowed to rnako tho demand any
tlmo between sunrlso and sunset. Had
tho lawyers of the state discovered the
defect In tho law soonor landlords
might have found many burdens added
to tho cares which wolghed them down.
Thn last legislature, howover, amended
tho law, so that It Is constitutional
and now a tenant Is deemed to be hold
ing over whenever rent day has been
passed without payment of tho amount
fixed In tho lcnoo.

Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Plnkliam for Helps
"Deab Mns. Pinkiiam: -I have been under Boston doctors' treat
ment for a long timo without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends 1
up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab
domen is swollen, and I havo had flowing spells for three years. My ap
petite is iiot good. I cannot walk or bo on my feet for any length of time
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mrs
E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine which she knew would help her
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to brings
about the happy result.
"Dear Mas. Pinkiiam: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. Tou replied, and I followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
" Tho use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled, the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
niles now.
" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to givo it a faithful trial." (Signed) Mb3
E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or tafco
tho place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vcgetahlo Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accopted by all women as convincing'
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all
ovarian troubles ; tumors ; inflammations ; ulceration, falling and dis
placements of tho womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation. Surely tho volume and character of the testimonial let
ters we are daily printing in tho newspapers can leavo no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her abovo address will gladly answer any letters?
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that sho thinks no trouble is too
great ifor her to take in return for her health and happiness.
rruly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine ; don't for
get this when somo druggist wants to sell you something else.
