Andrew Koewater( who was then a young

few days ago Mr. Rosewater found a diary
which he kept during that memorable year
and by referring to the maps and notes
which were Included in this little time

account of the trip: 1
'The winter of 156 and U57 had been

March, thinking that the snow would not
interfere with our work. In U64 I had gone

went through the slate tor the purpose of
locating a road. We then thought that the
line would go through Brldger's pass. In
1E67 we found a route to the north which
was much more desirable. In 1S64 we had
flittle trouble with the Indians, but in subsequent-years

"In company with four soldiers and one

ahead of the rest of us to take a look ft
the country beyond the divide. While he and
his men were passing through the dry
channel of n creek they came upon a band
of Indians, who had concealed themselves
and their horses In the brush. There were
about 100 Indians and they managed to
surround the little party. The men got
behind their horses and tried to screen
themselves while they made their way up
the Dido of the ravine. Brown was shot In

particular class of eaters; and what most
people like Is more often quantity than

rI feel as if I should fly into a thousand pieces !M
just can't stand it another minute ! "
Do you ever make use of these expressions ?
'Why, yes," you say. "I'm nervous and unstrune.
and I can't help it."
Do you know what makes you so nervous ?
1 Oh, everything I I don't know and I don't care what
it is. I wish I was dead ! "
STOP and listen.
People do not sympathize with you, do they! They
think you can help getting wrought up in this way, if you
will. They tell you to "keep cool;" not to "lose your
head;" to "calm yourself;" to 'avoid excitement." They
will not understand that you are sick, and that you really
"can't help it." You do not know yourself just what the
trouble is. You have been to your doctor, but his medicine
has had no effect. Every day you get more nervous. You
are almost beside yourself with every small responsibility
and can see no way out of it.
Why don't you write to Mrs. Pinkham !
Has it occurred to you that the pains you have every
month and the dragging sensation are caused by the same
trouble that makes you nervous ?
Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham. She will
understand your case perfectly, and will treat you with
kindness. Her advice is free, and the address is Lynn,
Mass. No woman ever regretted writing to her, and she
has helped thousands. Her medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, is the true help for nervous women.
It regulates the monthly sickness and overcomes all those
uterine derangements that excite the nerves. This is
the easy and the right way to get the help you need.
Read the letters from women she has helped.
When you ask for Mrs. Pinkham's medicine at your
druggist's, do not be persuaded to take something else said
to be " just as good." Nothing in the world is so good for
women's ills as
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
