MONTHS OF
SUFFERING
How a Baltimore Girl Recov
ered Her Health
Baltimore, Maryland. —“For several
months I suffered with severe backache
and general weak
ness. I could not sleep
comfortably at night
for pains in my back.
I found your book at
home one day and
after reading it be-
Ean at once to take
ydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. I have had
very good results and
some of my girl
friends are taking it
i >
now. You may use this letter to help
other girls, as the letters in your book
helped me. ” —Rose Waidner, 3018
Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md.
That is the thought, so often expressed
in letters recommending Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound. These wo
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
they were finally made well. Just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is a medicine made from medi
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have, which is indicated by backache,
weak feelings, nervousness, and no am
bition to get anything done or to go
anywhere. It has helped many women.
Why not try it?

JURY SURPRISED
BY OWN VERDICT
After Being Dismissed Discovers
It Found Opposite To What
It Intended
The novel situation of a jury re
turning a verdict exactly opposite
what it intended, and no way being
found to rectify the mistake without
another trial, although none of the
jurors had left the court room, tran
spired in City court Wednesday. The
case was that of Smith & Cushen-
Ih'ii v, mule deab’i ? of Dawson,
against J. A. Stewart on a fore, los
| uie of a mortgage on soiu- animals
bought by Mr. Stewart some time
ago upon the allegation that he had
disposed of one of the mortgaged
animals iDegally, making all the debt
I due. The defense tiled what is
I „o>-.n in thit couit as an • ilh ■ iti
; in reply, which meant that it- de
-1 med that any of the term of the
i rnoilgage had been violated and that
therefore the other party had no
’ ground: on v.Jiii h to base a sun, as
■no money was due. The jury, in-
I tending to find for Mr. Stewart, re
i turned the following verdict: “We
I the jury find against the illegality.
R. S. Broadhurst, foreman.”
As soon as the verdict was an
nounced the jurymen were dismiss
ed and left the box. Attorney Dick
Marlin, of Dawson, representing the
plaintiffs, objected to Judge Harper
that the verdict should have speci
fied the amount which the jury found
his clients should recover. This ques
tion caused some of the jurors to
wonder what it meant, and one of
; them called J. E. Sheppard, attorney
i for the defense, to one side and ifF-
I formed him that the verdict was in
. favor of Mr. Stewart. Mr. Shep
i pard called the attention of Judge
i Harper to the situation and asked
’ that the jurors, none of whom had
| left the court, be recalled to their
I .box to reconsider the form of their
I verdict. To tins Mr. Marlin object-
I ed mill Judge Harper ruled that, in
j view of Supreme court decisions,
i such a procedure would be illegal,
I the jury having been dismissed and
left the box. Lawyers agree that the
only remedy left for the defense to
• rectify the mistake is to ask foY a
j new trial, setting out the facts, which
are already known to the court.
lhe confusion of the jury was said
ito have resulted from the many
points and instructions jnvolved in
the judge’s charge, and the employ
ment of legal terms in the verdict as
instructed, instead of ordinary Eng
| lish.
