9 i I ; PERFECT WOMAN' HOOD PERFECT womanhood depends on perfect health. Nature's rarest gifts of physical beauty vanish befor pain. Swcot dispositions turn morbid and fretful. The possessions that win good hus bands and keep their love should be guard ed by women every moment of their lives. The greatest menace to woman's per manent happiness in life is the suffering that comes from derangement of the feminine organs. Mnnv thoimnnds of women have realized this too late to save their beauty, barely in time to save their livos. Many other thousands have availed of the gcycrous in vitation of Mrs. 1'inkham to counsel all suffering women free of chprgc. Mrs. H. J. Garrf.tson, Hound Brook, N. J., writes: "Dkar Mrs. pinkham i nnve occn uik ing Lydia B. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Compound with the best results and can say from my heart that your medicines arc wonderful. My physician called my trouble chronic inflammation of the left ovary. For years I suffered very much, but thanks to Mrs. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Com pound and kind advice, I am today a well wo man. I would say to all suffering women, take Lydia B. Pinkhatn's medicine and your suff erings will vanish." Mrs. Maggie Phil Lirrn, of Ladoga, Ind., writes: "Dear Mrs. Pink ham For four years I suffered from ulcera tion of the womb. I became so weak I could not walk across the room without help. After giving up all hopes of recovery, I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Com pound and wrote for special information. I began to improve from the first bottle, and am now fully restored to health." EuljPNNNNNNNNjH kNNBvIiyI W fSzMi 21 Hood's Pills Do not Krlpc nor Irrltnto tho alimen tary camil.

'Strike For Your Altars and Your Fires' Patriotism is always com mendable, but in every breast there should be not only the desire to be a good citizen, but to be strong, able bodied and well fitted for the battle of life.

If you would win In the Battle of Life you must have a clear brain, keen aenaes, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en ergy and ambition. Dyspepsia kills these needful quali ties. You can't succeed if you arc con stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi gestion. But you can get rid of dys pepsia, indigestion, uiliousncss, sour stomach, or any other ailment of stom ach or digestive organs by simply taking one or two of Uodd's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. With a perfect digestion go a strong, healthy body, a clear, capable brain, vigor, ambition, determination, ener gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's Dyspepaia Tablets ensure all these. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have nev er failed to cure any or all of the dis eases named when they have been fairly tried. They cannot fail. 'Dr. R. B. Strong, New York City, writing in tha American Journal of Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets as a remedy which could not possibly be more efficacious though It taanatsd from a council of tke leadiiur yhyslcians of ths world.
