MRS. PINTCITASI : It is with thankfulness I write that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of the greatest help to
me. My work keeps me standing on my feet all day and the hours are
long. Some months ago it didn't seem as though I could stand it. I
would get so dreadfully tired and my back ached so I wanted to scream
with the pain. When I got home at night I was so worn out I had to
right to bed , and I was terribly blue and downhearted. Iyas irregu-
tablc Compound and commenced to take it. It helped me right off.
After the iirst few doses menstruation started and was fuller than for
some time. It seemed to lift a load off me. My back stopped aching and
I felt brighter than I had for months. I took three bottles in all. Now
I never have an ache or pain , and I go out after work and have a-good
time. I am regular and strong and am thankful to you for the change.
"I recommend. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when
ever I hear of a girl suffering , foi I know how haH itis to work when
you feel so sick. " Miss MAMIE KEHINS , 553 9th Ave. , Xew York City.
Women should not fail to prtrfit by the experiences of these
women ; just as surely as they were cured of the troubles enu
merated in their letters , just so certainly will JLydia E. Piukham's
Vegetable Compound cure others who suffer from womb trou
bles , iufiammation of the ovaries , kidney troubles , irregular and
painful menstruation , nervous excitability , and nervous prostra
tion ; remember that it is JLyrtia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing women , and don't allow any druggist to
eell you anything1 else in its place ,
v Bliss Amanda T. Pctterson , Box 131 , Atwater , Minn. , says :
"DEAR MRS. PJNKHAM. I hope that you
will publish this testimonial so that it may
reach others and let them know about your
wonderful medicine.
I "Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
the worst kind of fainting spells. The blood
would rush to my head , was veiy nervous and
always felt tired , had dark circles around eyes.
"I have row taken several bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and am entirely cured. I had taken
doctor's medicine for many years but it did
me no good.
" Please accept my thanks for this most
excellent medicine which is able to restore
health to suffering women. "

LA ARM TO SHOOT A RIFLE.
Can.ulum Militiamen Appreciate the *
Value of Good Marksmanship.
The lessons of the boor war have not
been lost upon Hie Canadian militia.
The superiority of the Dutch as rifle
shots gave them an immeasurable ad
vantage over the British invaders in
many occasions and cost the imperial
army the lives of thousands of brave
men. The Canadian government is
therefore encouraging the development
of markmauship to an extraordinary
degree. The result is surprising. Ev
ery village in Canada sports a rifle
range and every province is a school
for sharpshootes. It is not a fad , but
fcas seized upon the Canadians with a
firmness that promises to leave an in
delible stamp upon the people for a
generation. Of Canada's 0,000,000 of
people there are more than r > 00,000
capable of bearing arms. This vast
army is developing into a light ing ma
chine of colossal proportions.
The conflict on the South African
velt indicated with frightful force ju.-t
what a body of sharpshooters can do
when oppred to armies trained in the-
old school of Avar. Imagine an army
of f > 00,000 Canadians invading the
United States , every man of them ca
pable of doing execution that Cronje
and his boor warriors wrought along
the Aodder ] river , , at Colenso and the
other death traps of South Africa.
The annual competition on the Onta
rio rifle range was indulged in by men
from every part of Canada. They
shot for three days. The result forms
an interesting study for the Ameri
cans. More bulls' eye shots wore made
than any other , and the extraordinary
record was made of not a single shot
that would not have struck the vitals
of a man had he boon the target at
which they were shooting.
The Canaadians have not only copied
largely in this respect from the sturdy
warriors who so long defied old Eng
land's sons , but these marksmen are
copying the style of fighting they were
taught was so effective by the boers.
In truth , the fighting force of Canada
to-day , with the extraordinary profi
ciency with the rifle , is a formidable
thing , regardless of any support they
might receive from the mother coun
try. England , it is now claimed , can
draw sharpshooters enough from Can-
ada within a year to overwhelm any
ordinary European army.
They will be almost wholly men who.
when in the field , will conduct them
selves as the boers did. P.esides the
Lee-Metford service rifle , they are be
coming equally expert with the six
shooter that weapon that has proved
so deadly in the hands of expert marks
men of the cavalry forces of the
United States. It is no secret in Can
ada that the Northwest police , a force
of 2,000 expert horsemen , are the chiof
reliance for fast work with the pistol
in the event of an emergency call for
fighting.
