Telephonic communication has been
established between St. Michael and
Nome by means of a temporary sub
marine cable. The toll is $2 for ten

From statistics gleaned by Cecil
Raleigh of London it is learned that
about 25.000 persons are employed by
theatrical managers in Great Britain,
the average weekly salary being $10.
On a certain day designated by Mr.
Raleigh there were being played “130
melodramas, 83 musical and farcical
pieces. 33 plays and 3 Shakespearean
plays."
A diary of more than sixty years ago
contains two entries appropriate both
to athletics and to the season: "De
cember 21st. Started for home on
foot and arrived—forty miles—after
twelve hours on the road. I was not
much fatigued." “December 28th.
Started back to college at 5 in the
morning. It was very stormy and the
snow four inches deep. A little lame
—but happy.” The writer was sixteen
years old, and his name was Ruther

Franz Anton Itrich, U. S. N., a war
rant officer of the training ship Buf
falo, has been awarded a medal of
honor and gratuity of $100 for gallant
service at the battle of Manila. Mr.
Itrich was a member of the crew of the
whaleboat which burned the Spanish
ships inside the harbor of Cavite on
the afternoun of May 1, 1898, and was
at the time serving on the gunboat
Petrel, commanded by E. P. Wood
and forming a part of the fleet under
Dewey's command.
A movement has been started to con
solidate all the crematories of the
United States and Canada into one as
sociation. There are now seventy-five
crematories in this country. The ob
ject is to make a uniform price for
incineration, certificates to be paid up
during the life of a person will be
issued, and when the holder dies the
body may be incinerated at any of the
crematories which are in the associa
tion. The organization of the inter
national association will be effected at
a meeting of the officials of different
crematories at Buffalo during the pan
Anierican exposition.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service
has discovered a new use for a well
known instrument of civil engineer
ing, the transit, which is a sort of
spyglass on stilts. While a govern
ment employe was at work on the new
federal building in San Francisco he
noticed that a man was bringing some
thing small to a window frequently in
a building about 200 yards away.
Bringing a transit into play the ob
server convinced himself that the man
was at work on bogus money. A se
cret-service detective v.as summoned
and he peeked through the transit.
Then he went over and arrested the
man for counterfeiting, making what
Chief Wilkie regards as a most im
portant capture.
A movement has been begun by sev
eral art institutes in this country to
check the exodus of American art stu
dents—especially girl students—to Bar
is. It has the approval of American
artists of established reputation men
who have studied in Paris, lived in
the Latin Quarter, and know the un
wholesome conditions existing therein.
They assert that facilities for the first
training in art are as good in America
as in Paris, if not better. For a proper
appreciation and use of the rich col
lections of art which exist in Europe,
preliminary training is necessary, and
that can be obtained at home. ‘'To
go abroad for a postgraduate course,”
said one of the most celebrated of these
artists, ‘‘is all right, but by no means
for a beginner. The Latin Quarter Ls
vile,” he added.
Perhaps the cleverest scheme ever
put together for evading custom house
duties and practically smuggling goods
Into the country has been brought to
light by the death of an old French
man In Indiana. When he came here
he was one of the poorest in the coun
try. and when he died he was one of
the wealthiest. His name was Pierre
J. D'Heur, and he laid the foundation
of his fortune In this way: He had a
friend in a great glove factory In
France, and had him send thousands
of pairs of the best gloves in two con
signments. one to New Orleans and
one to New York. When the New Or
leans consignment was opened it was
found to contain only left hand gloves,
and D'Heur refused it. Later the
consignment was put up at auction and
D’Heur bought it Tor a mere nothing.
Then came the New York consignment
which, oddly enough, contained only
right hand gloves, which were also
refused by D'Heur on account of the
“mistake.” and also afterward bought
by him at public auction, thus escap
ing the payment of any duty.
The Rev. J. M. Bacon, F. K. S.. pro
poses to make a balloon ascent during

the higher limits o{ the fog and to ex
plore scientifically its constitution. Ho
also proposes to discharge small cart
ridges of guncotton at great heights,
In order to ascertain whether the con
cussion will dislodge or disperse the
fog in any way. He has carried out
several experiments with similar cart
ridges for acoustical purposes, at vary

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
HEAVEN AWAITS TRUE DISCI
PLES OF CHRIST.
Tells What May He Eipeoted In the
Next World by Those Who Faithfully
Serve Hod and Help Their Fellow Men
—Howard of Self Sacrifice.
(Copyright, 1901. by Louis Klopscli, N. T.)
Washington. Jan. 13.—In a very novel
way Dr. Talmage In this discourse de
scribes what may be expected in the
next world by those who here bend all
their energies in the right direction;
text, II. Peter 1.. 11: "For so an en
trance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly.”
Different styles of welcome at the
gate of heaven are here suggested. We
all hope to enter that supernal capital
through the grace that is ready to suve
even the chief of sinners. But not now.
No man healthy of body and mind
wants to go now. The man who hurls
himself out of this life is either an
agnostic or is demented or finds life
insufferable and does not care where
he lands. This is the best world we
ever got into, and we want to stay here
as long as God will let us stay. But
when the last page cf the volume of
our earthly life is ended we want en
rollment In heavenly citizenship. We
want to get in easily. We do not want
to be challenged at the gate and asked
to show our passports. We do not
want the gatekeeper in doubt as to
whether we ought to go in at all. We
do not want to be kept in the portico
of the temple until consultation is
made as to where we came from, and
who we are, and whether it is safe to
admit us, lest wo be a discord in the
eternal harmonies or lower the spirit
of heavenly worship. When the apos
tle Peter in the text addresses people,
"For so an entrance shall be admin
istered unto you abundantly," he im
plies that some will find admission into
heaven easy, rapturous and acelama
tory, while other will have to squeeze
through the gate of heaven, if they get
in at all. They will arrive anxious and
excited and apprehensive and wonder
ing whether it will be "Come!” or
"Go!” The Bible speaks of such per
sons as “scarcely saved.” and in an
other place as “saved as by fire.” and
in another place as escaped "by the
skin of the teeth.”
The Mercy of Christ.
Sometimes in our pulpits wo give a
wrong turn to the story of the dying
thief to whom Christ said, “This day
shalt thou be with me in paradise.” We
ought to admire the mercy of the
Christ that pardoned him In the last
hour, but do not let us admire the
dying thief. When he was arrested, I
think his poekft3 were full of stolen
coin, and the coat he had on his hack
was not his own. He stole right on
until he was arrested for his crimes.
He repented, and through great mercy
arose to paradise, but he was no ex
ample to follow. What a gigantic
meanness to devote the wondrous
equipment of brain and nerve and mus
cle and hone with which we are en
dowed, these miracles of sight and
hearing and speech, to purposes un
worthy or profane, and then, through
hasty repentance at the last, enter
heaven! Cheating God all one’s life
time and then taking advantage of a
bankrupt law and made free of all lia
bilities. I should think that some men
would be ashamed to enter heaven or
would prefer some medium place in the
wide universe where the palaces are not
so effulgent and the trees bear not more
than six Instead of twelve manner of
fruits, and the social life is not so ex
alted.
Again, the bigot will not have what
ray text calls an abundant entrance.
He has his bedwarfed opinion as to
what all must believe and do in order
to gain celestial residence. He has his
creed in one pocket and his catechism
in another pocket, and it may he a good
creed and a good catechism,and he uses
them as sharp swords against those
who will not accept his theories. You
must be baptized in his way or come
to him though apostolic succession or
be foreordained of eternlay, or you are
in an awful way. He shrivels up and
shrivels up and becomes more splene
tic until the time of his departure is
at hand. He has enough of the salt of
grace to save him. hut his entrance into
heaven will be something worth watch
ing. What do they want with him in
heaven, where they have all gone into
eternal catholicity, one grand commin
gling of Methodists and Baptists and
Episcopalians and Lutherans and Con
gregationalists and Presbyterians anti
a score of other denominations just as
good as any 1 have mentioned? They
all join in the halleluliah chorus, ac
companied by harpers on their harps
and trumpeters on their trumpets,
"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive blessing and riches and
honor and glory and power!”
Denominations of Christians on earth
were necessary in order to better work
and to suit preferences—as an army
must be divided into regiments, yet
one army; ns a neighborhood must be
divided into families,though one neigh
borhood. But there is no need for such
divisions in heaven, and therefore all
belong to one denomination of saint
hood. Christ said in one of his ser
mons that there would be laughter in
heaven. "Blessed are ye that we p
now, for ye shall laugh.” And what
could cause more merriment, among the
glorified than a rehearsal of the early
differences between Christians, differ
ences once seeming of such vast im
portance.but differences unknown amid
the heavenly worshipers? What will
be the bigot's amazement when lie sees
seated side by side on tho banks of the
river of life Calvin and Arminius,Arch
bishop Cranmer and oi>iae dissenting
preacher of the gospel who never grad
uated. one who on earth was robed and
I surpllced ecclesiastic, and a backwoods
minister who in the log cabin meeting
house preached in a linen duster?
Among the great surprises of heaven
for the bigot will , be the celestial
friendliness of those who on earth op
posed each other In wrathlest polem
ics. He will get through the gate, for
he has a spark of divine grace in his
heart, but there will not be an inch
of room to spare on either side of him.
It will not take long for heaven to edu
cate him into a glorious big hearted
ness.
('tirlfltlfin Ilcnc*T«l€‘nr«
For thirty years this man has been
practicing an economy which prided it
self on never passing a pin without
picking it up, and if he responded at
all in church would put on the collec
tion plate so insignificant a coin that
he held his hand over it so that no one
could discover the smallness of the de
nomination. Somewhere in the fifties
or sixties of his life, during a revival
of religion, he became a Christian. He
is very much changed in most respects,
but his all absorbing acquisitiveness
still influences him. To extract from
iiim a gift for an orphanage or a
church or a poor woman who has just
been burned out is an achievement.
You and I know very good men, their
Christian character beyond dispute.and
yet they are pronounced by all as
penurious, and they know it them
selves and pray against it. We all have
our bad habits, and yet expect to get
to heaven, and this skinflint has his
mighty temptation. The passion of
j avarice well illustrated its strength.
| when in one of the houses of exhumed
Pompeii was found the skeleton of a
man who w\as trying to escape with 60
coins and a silver saucepan. For those
valuables he dared the ashes and scoria
of Vesuvius, which overwhelmed him,
and many a good man has been held
mightily by avarice. But the day is
■orning for that penurious Christian’s
departure from the world. He has an
awful struggle in giving up his govern
ment securities. The attorney who
drew his last will and testament saw
how hard it was for him to leave hi3
farm or his storehouse or investments,
especially those that in the markets
are called gilt-edged. Those that yield
only 3 per cent he easily resigns to
the care of his executors, but those
that yield 8 or 9 or 10 per cent, how
can lie give them up while the market
is still rising?
Reward of Self Sacrlflce.
Rut that brings me to the other
those who will, when they leave this
life, bound into heaven amid saluta
tions infinite. "For so an entrance
, shall be administered unto you abund
; antiy.” Such exultant admission will
j await those who enter heaven after on
: earth living a life for others and with
I out reference to conspieuity. On the
1 hanks of the Ohio or the Tuscaloosa or
' the Androscoggin is a large family, all
! of whom have been carefully and reli
j giously reared. In the earlier stages of
; that family there were many priva
• tions. The mother of the household
never had any amusements. Perhaps
once in a year a poor theatrical play
was enacted in the neighboring school
house or a squawking concert in the
town hall, and that was all the diver
1 sion afforded for the winter season. I
asked the manager of an insane asylum
! in Kentucky, "From what class of per
l :son3 do you get most of your patients?"
and he said, “From farmers’ wives.” I
asked the same question of the mana
ger of an insane asylum In Pennsylva
nia, and the same question of the man
ager of an insane asylum in Massachu
setts, and got the same reply, "We
have on our rolls for treatment more
farmers’ wives than persons coming
from any other class." That answer
will 1)0 a surprise to some; it was no
surprise to me. The simple reason is.
farmers' wives as a general thing have
no diversion. It is breakfast, dinner,
and supper, sewing, scouring, scrub
bing, knitting, mending, year in and
year out. That mother is the milliner,
tlie mantua maker, the nurse, the doc
tor, the accountant of the whole fam
ily. She plans the wardrobe of spring,
| of summeT, of autumn, of winter, cut
ting, fitting, completing garments, out
of which the children soon grow and
must have something else. The news
paper does not come, or, if coming,
there is no time to read it. No selec
tion of good books. The neighbors call
ing in are full of the same grinding
routine. No wonder so many of them
go into dementia! Oh, the country Is
beautiful to look at and a recuperative
place in which to spend summer, and if
you have the means to bring yourself
amusements or go where they are or
you can surround yourself by inspiring
social life it is a good place to stay
all the year round. But, alas for the
thousands of good and noble women
who are dying by inches in its soli
tudes!
tSlrvtlly Welcomed to Heaven.
Now. the mother of whom I speak as
living on the banks of that great river
in Ohio or Alabama or Maine has gone
through all the drudgery mentioned,
and her children have turned out well,
good and useful men and women, orn
| aments of society, pillars in the house
of Gad, and that whole family, after
j the years have passed by and their
work is done, will meet in the heavenly
j country. From such a family some
will certainly have preceded her, and
i the time of her expected arrival will
be announced to all the members of
that family already glorified and to
the old earthly neighbors who put
j down their toils a little sooner than
I she did, and she will have the warmest
kind of home coming, and she will go
: through the gate as easily as ever she
lifted the latch of her front door com
ing from the old country meeting
house where she lined to worship. Go
! in, mother! Heaven has been waiting
; for you a gvod many years. Got rid of
all your aches and pains anil weari
ness, have you? Go anywhere In heav
en, and they will be glad to see you.
On the highest throne you will And
one who said, “Behold thy mother."
Sit anywhere you please. You will be
at home anywhere. Take your pick
out of that sheaf of scepters. What!
The wrinkles have all gone out of
ydur face, and the once rheumatic step
has become like that of the bounding
roe. Just as I expected, you aged, glor
ified soul, you had an abundant en
trance.
Conaecrnted Affluence*
Well, this man of consecrated af
fluence is about to go out of the world.
He feels in brain and nerve the strain
of the early struggles by which he won
his fortune, and at CO or 70 years col
lapses under the exhaustions of the
twenties and thirties of his lifetime.
When the morning papers announce
that he is gone, there is excitement not
only on the avenues where the man
sions stand, but all through the hos
pitals and asylums and the homes of
those who will henceforth have no
helper. But the excitement of sadness
on earth Is a very tame affair com
pared with the excitement of gladness
in heaven. The guardian angel of that
good man's life swept by his dying
pillow the night before, and on swift
wing upward announced that in a few
hours he would arrive, and there is a
mighty stir in heaven. “He comes!”
cries seraph to seraph. The King’s
heralds are at the gate to say, “Come,
ye blessed,” and souls who were saved
tnrougn tne cnurrnes that good man
supported and hundreds who went up
after being by him helped in their
earthly struggle will come down off
their thrones and out of their palaces
and through the streets to hail him
into the land which they reached some
time before through his Christian phil
anthropy. “Why, that is the man who,
when I was n-hungered. gave me
bread!” “Why, that is the man,” says
another, “who encouraged me when I
was in the hard struggle of business
life!” “Why, that is the man,” says
another, “who paid my rent when I
had nothing with which to pay!”
"Why, that is the man through whose
missionary spirit I heard the gospel
call in Bombay!” “Why, that is the
man,” says another, “who helped send
the gospel of Christ to the aborigines
of America and caused me to exchange
the war whoop of the savage for the
song of Christian deliverance!” “Stand
back,” commanded the gatekeeper of
heaven, “all ye throng redeemed
through this man's instrumentalities!
Make way for him to the feet of the
\ King, where he will cast a crown, and
then make way for him to the throne,
where he shall reign forever and ever!”
Now, that is what I call an abundant
entrance. You see, it is not necessary
to be a failure on earth in order to be
a success in heaven.
Demand of Filial Devotion.
After years of filial fidelity on the
part of this self-sacrificing daughter,
the old folks go home. Now the daugh
ter is free from marital alliance, hut
the damask rose in her cheek is faded,
and the crows feet have left their mark
on the forehead, and the gracefulness
is gone out of the figure, and the world
calls her by a mean and ungallant
name. But, my Lord and my God,
surely thou wilt make it up for that
girl in heavenly reward! On all the
banks of the river of life there is no
castle of emerald and carbuncle richer
than that Which awaits her. Its win
dows look right out upon the King’s
park, and the white horses of the
chariot are being harnessed to meet her
at the gate, and if there are no others
to meet her, father and mother will be
there to thank her for all she did for
them when their strength failed and
the grasshopper became a burden, and
they will say: “My daughter, how kind
you were to us even until the last! How
good it is to be together in heaven!
That is the King's chariot come for
you. Mount and ride to your ever
lasting home!” Now, that is what I
call an abundant entrance.
The Stranger in Heaven.
But imagine one of these "scarcely
saved" Christians entering the shining
realm! He passes in a stranger. Saint
says to saint. “Who comes there?"
And angel says to angel. “Who is
that?” He moves lip and down the
streets and meets no one whom he
helped to get there. He goes into the
great temple and finds among the
throngs of the white robed not one soul
whom he helped to join the doxologies.
He goes into the “house of many man
sions" and finds not one spirit whom
he helped to start for that high resi
dence. I am glad that hp got In, but I
am amazed that in the 30 or 40 or 70
years of his life he did nothing for God
and the betterment of the world Which
woke the heavenly eehoes. Oh, child of
God, if you had never thought of it
before, I present the startling fact that
you are now deciding not only the
style of your heavenly reception, but
the grade of your association and en
joyment of the world without end. Are
you satisfied with yoursplf that you
can afford to throw away raptures and
ignore heavenly possibilities and elect
yourself to lower status and classify
yourself amid the less efficient when
you may mount a higher heaven?

LESSON IV, JAN. 27: MATT 22:
34-46.
Golden Tut! “What Think Te ol
Chrlal?"—Matt —The Savior of
the World Silence* the I’hurUeea—Ills
Authority Challenged.
31. “When the Pharisees . . . heard
. . . they were gathered together,” dis
cussing their defeat and the wise answers
Jesus had given. "Put the Sadducees to
silence." Literally, "muzzled the Sad
j dueees."
35. "Then one of them." A Pharisee,
who had listened to the discussions of
Jesus. "A lawyer." A scribe, one of the
men learned In the Jewish law, who cop
ied, preserved, Interpreted, and taught
the Jewish Scriptures. "Asked him a
question." Probably one frequently dis
cussed, and on which diverse opinions
! were held. "Tempting him." Not mali
ciously, "but in the sense of testing on
another question the wisdom of one who
answered a previous question so admira
bly."
36. "Which Is the great commandment
In the law?” Which Is not the common
relative pronoun; but "what kind of,"
"what by nature, by Its decisive and no
ble quality," Is the great commandment,
the one that stands first In importance?
Is it a ceremonial, or a moral precept?
Is it a duty to God, or to man? This
was a question which, with some others,
divided the Jewish teachers into rival
Schools and was a constant bone of con
tention.—Stock.
37. “Jesus said unto him.” quoting, with
tile addition reported by Mark. Deut. fi:
4, 5, the very words which "every devout
Jew recited twice every day, and the
Jews do it to this day" (Brown), and
which they inscribed on the parchment
enclosed in their phylacteries, and wore
vjii nn 11 lutrui'dili'i aitu ill IU3 "Uinif,
prayer. “Thou shult love the Lord thy
God." Love Is an all-inclusive affection,
embracing not only every other affection
proper to its object, but nil that Is proper
to be done to Its object; for as love spon
taneously seeks to please Its object, so.
In the case of men to God, it Is the na
tive wellspring of a voluntary obedience.
Such. then, is the affection in which the
essence of the divine law is declared to
exist. “With, or from, ail thy heart,”
the general word for the inner man.—
Int. Crit. Com. It is the seat of the de
sires, passions, affections, emotions.
"With all thy soul" The life principle, the
center of will and personality. "With
all thy mind.” It is to be an intelligent
love, from free choice under the direction
of the reason and the judgment.
3S. “This is the tirst and great com
mandment." it is the sun of the llrst
table of the law.
3S. "The second 's like unto It.” ftp
cause it is like the tirst, an embodiment
of love; it is the sum of the second table
of the law; it is almost a twin com
mandment with it; for love to God wfll
certainly manifest itself in love to man,
his child and our brother. “Our I.ord,"
says tlie Int. Crit. Com., "wished to show
that this tirst commandment did not
stand at the head of a long list of heter
ogeneous commands among which it was
simply primus inter pares ttirst among
equals), but that it was one of two ho
mogeneous commands which exhausted
the idea of righteousness.” "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself.” This is
th«' measure of love to our neighbor.
41- "The Pharisees were gathered to
gether," to consult what course to take
next, as In v. '14. “Jesus asked them"
(a question). "The question Is undoubt
edly a puzzling one for them; but it is
no mere Scripture’ conundrum. The dif
ficulty in which it lands them Is one
which, if only they would honestly face
It. would be tiie means of ri moving the
veil from their eyes and leading them,
ere It Is too late, to welcome the Son of
Lavld come in the name of the Lord to
save them.”
42. "What think ye of Christ?" Have
you really thought thoroughly about
your Messiah? Have you done till you
could to know what he ought to be, In
what way he should come, what kind of
a king he was to be? They were blind
guides, as he calls them in Matt. 21: IS.
They would not see. "Whose son is he?"
There only answer must be that he was
to be "the son of David,” that Is, the
descendant of David, "according to uni
versal Jewish opinion and recognized
Scripture teaching, in Mark and Luke
our Lord refers to the fact that the
scribes so taught."—Dr. Hovey. This was
the truth, hut not the whole truth.
43. "How then doth David in spirit."
Mark says, "By the Holy Ghost," by in
spiration of God. "Call hint I.ord." quot
ing from Psa. 110: I. "This psalm is oft
i nor quoted in the New Testament as
Messianic than in any other portion of
the Old Testament."—Dr. Hovey.
11. "The Lord (Jehovah in the Hebrew)
said unto niv Lord," "to my sovereign
I.ord. the Messiah, the Son of David.”
"Sit thou on my right hand," as my co
regent. This verse is quoted iu 1 Cor.
ij; 20; Ileli. I: 13; IQ; 13. as applying
to the Messiah, as was the universal
Jewish opinion, "iri later Jewish writ
ings nearly every verse of It Is quoted as
interring to tho Messiah."—Perowne on
the Psalms.
4fi. "If David then call him Lord, how
is he his son?” There was only one an
swer: that in ills human nature he was
David’s son, tint as the Bon of God he
was his Lord. The Messiah was both.
4ii. "No man was able to answer him
a word," because they did not take the
whole Scriptures, and learn al! they said
about the Messiah. They were convicted
of Ignorance. "Ask him any more ques
tions." This method of attack was given
up as a failure.

Stron*: Eye* of the Born.
An Englishman who has been a long
time in Africa says the superiority of
Boer marksmanship is traceable to the
fact that their eyesight is kept in
splendid training by constant use ol
the rifle. The same authority says:
"The savage does not use spectacles
and, therefore, there is a constant ef
fort of his eye to retain its focus. This
effort results in what it seeks. A man
whose eyes have changed so that he
cannot see the sights of his gun can by
a few weeks' practice in 'sighting' it
regain what he has lost. It is the law
of atrophy, which, if it have not pro
gressed too far, may be reversed. The
first pair of spectacles might have been
long deferred, but once worn they be
come a necessity, because the eye nr.
longer resists the change.”

An Irishman obtained permission
from his employer to attend a wed
ding. He turned up next day with
his arm in a sling, and a black eye.
' Hello! What is the matter?" said his
employer. ''Well, you see,” said the

yesterday; and I saw a fellow strut
ting about with a swallow-tailed coal

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
What suffering frequently results
from a mother’s ignorance; or moro
frequently from a mother’s neglect to
properly instruct her daughter 1
Tradition says “woman must suf
fer,” and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and <*v great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion ; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. l’inkhnm and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is
Lynn, Mass.
r
n
Mrs. A up list Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1809, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation —
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
1 miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1809, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs,
Pinkham’s great medicine for regu
lating woman’s peculiar monthly
! troubles.
