I Mrs. Hughson, of Chicago, whose “i
letter follows, is another woman in high
position who owes her health to the use of
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
41 Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I suffered for several years with general
weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe
tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep,
until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After
reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one
can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and
besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison
out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl.
Mrs. Pinkham’s medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be.” —
Mrs. M. E. Hughson; 347 East Ohio SL, Chicago, 111.
Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements.
displacements Apparently trifling incidents in woman’s daily life frequently menstruation, produce
of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during
standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the most
ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started.
The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action.
Don’t let the condition become chronic through, neglect or a mistaken idea
that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone.
Pinkliam’s More than a million women have regained health by the use of Lydia E.
Vegetable Compound.
If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand
write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice, and a few
timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This
advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both.

a break would have been

close there was little or no
about the cotton exchange and no
was expressed that any of the
cotton firms would go to the w r all.

; Toward noon the market became

prices would continue upward.
Soon after the noon hour and while
many brokers were out at lunch a tele
gram was received from Chicago by a
wire house saying that cables had
had been received there telling of the
declaration of war between! Japan and
Russia. Values commenced to slide
swiftly downward, and in five minutes'
time the ring was in a panic- Traders
and brokers who a few minutes before
appeared to be the sanest anti calmest
