When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn't any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Elliston. Va.—“l feel it my duty to express my thanks to you and your
pi eat medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con
fined in bed over one third of mv time for ten months. I could not do my
housework and had faintiny spells so that my husband could not leave me
alone for five minutes at a time.
" Now I owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for
them."—Mrs. Robert Blankenship, Elliston. Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA.
New Orleans. La.—“l was passing through the Change of Life and be
fore 1 took Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I would
get up in the morning feeling tired out and not fit to do anything.
“ Since 1 have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all
right. Your medicines are worth their weight in gold.’’—Mrs. Gaston
Blondeau, 1541 Polymnia St., New Orleans, La.
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Wauchula. I la.— ’ Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symp
toms. headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused
by female troubles.
“I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a
package of Sanative Wash and that was all 1 used to make me a well woman.
"I am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had
not taken your remedies. 1 would have been a great sufferer. But I started
in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much
either. I feel that you are a friend to all women and 1 would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor.” Mrs. Mattib Hodnot, Box 4ot>, Wau
chula., Florida.
LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Martinsburg. W. Va.—“ I am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself.
" I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter savs that when
she hears a girl complaining with cramps, she tells her to take your Com

I ~r said Miss Florence Moore, as •
she pushed her life and stage 1
partner, Mr. Montgomery, out of the 1
dressing room at the Broadway the- 1
a ter. <
"I am going to be interviewed on
how to be beautiful, though ugly. - ''
Miss Moore perched herself on a 1
trunk as big as a touring ear. and 1
sat before her to take account of i
stock, so to speak. She had had time
to wash off her make-up. but I haft
not yet been able to realize just what
kind of person was the girl who is
called the funniest young woman on
the stage.
You see it was like this: From an ,
aisle seat In the theater I had watched
Miss Moore pick up Hanky Panky and
walk off with It In the slang of the
stage, with a physical vitality which
seetned extraordinary for a person of
so slight a build. She acted her scenes
with that whirlwind quality that takes
your breath away, and she had been
genuinely whimsical and irrepressibly
funny.
In the first act, in a weird trouser
ette costume, any one else but Miss
Moore would have been vulgar, but
some indefinite quality keeps her from
erring in this way. and a preposterous
sense of humor, with a spontaneity
which seems absolutely natural, wins
the audience from the first.
Now. funny women are very seldom

Mrs. Malaprop ended:

They were seated in the dim light of
a conservatory. She was playing with
her fan. and he was murmuring soft
speeches in her ear. Suddenly he leaned
forward and impressed a kiss on her
soft cheek.
"Oh. Charlie." she cried, "how you
frightened me!"
Then after a few minutes she said:

As I sat and watched and studied Miss
Moore, I wondered how she had ever
come to devote herself to being a
comedienne. She has a very serious
face, the eyes are xtraordinarily ear
nest and penetrating, with something
of the visionary look in them that be
longs to the religious enthusiast. The
mouth alone is humorous and very
flexible. But she is pretty.
“Why didn't you go In for straight

Miss Moore.
“Oh, there is a so much bigger field

there isn’t half enough of it in the

Ing, humorous face, even if it Isn't
strictly beautiful, is the face that peo
ple like to look at in preference to the
sad-eyed, despairing beauty.”
"But do you think a sense of humor
can be cultivated?”
"Yes, I do: and I think it should be
part of their education If women
would learn to look on the funny side
of life, that side would grow, and they
would see more and more funny and
amusing things to Interest them. Often
when I go on the stage feeling 'down,’
as one is apt to do, I see some one in
rhe audience that strikes me as funny,
and I begin to laugh and a whole lot
is lifted from my shoulders.
"Nobody knows what I'm laughing
at. and I suppose they think it's part
of the show, but sometimes I catch
sight of one of those stern people who
come to the theater, with the firm de
termination not to be amused, and not
to think any Joke funny. They sit
there with the expression that Bays, ‘I
dare you to make me laugh.’ 1 always
take the dare, and nothing gives me
ii)pre joy than to bring a reluctant,
shamed-faced grin on such a face."
Why She Is Strong.
"Where did you get all your strength
from. Miss Moore? You certainly
don’t look robust, but you whirl around
that stage and exude enough vitality
to exhaust a giantess. I should think
you'd be done up after each perform
ance."
"Do you know I’m not the least con
scious of It. until I come off and look
over my gown, which Is generally in
shreds after the performance. This
dress tells the stpry of how hard I
work.” and Miss Moore looked ruefully
at her spangled frock and put her fin
ger through numerous tears that bore
witness to that evening's strenuous
performance.
Though we were getting on nicely in
a conversational way. T hadn’t found
out yet what was the secret power in
this extraordinary young woman who
can make a big audience laugh at her
antics on the stage, and who is so ear
nest, so simple and unaffected, so any
thing but comic in private life.
She was still sitting on the touring
trunk, brushing her long mans of hair,
which, unlike ordinary theatrical hair,
grows on her own head and not on the
dressing table.
"Miss Moore, do tell me how you
do it. Your life Is harder and more
strenuous than that of the average
woman in the audience. You have to
be keyed up to a certain pitch every
night to get your audience, and yet
you don’t look tired; in fact, you look
younger off the stage than on It. Now
confess, what do you do when you get
to this theater feeling that you haven't
any vitality or any strength to work
with, and yet knowing that you must
play your part with all your usual
vivacity?”
Miss Moore looked at me with those
deep, penetrating eyes from which all
mirth and roguishness were banished,
and said:
“I pray. I'm a Christian Scientist,
and it often happens that when I get
out before that big audience and feel
my strength oozing from me. and my
audience getting away, 1 just stand
there and pray.
"I may be saying a joke with my
lips, but right down in the bottom of
my heart I'm praying for strength.”
There was no need of questioning
her any further, for, despite the fact
that she is known as the funniest
woman on the stage, the secret of her
power, which will be the secret of
health and youth as long as she needs
It. is a deep and spiritual one, which
preachers and lecturers talk about, but
which few can demonstrate as success
fully as this comedienne.

"Kit" writes: “I am far below normal
weight. I suffer with headaches and am
nervous to the point of exhaustion. If von
can tell me something to help me I shall
be very grateful."
Answer: I can prescribe nothing so ef
fective as a thorough course of 3-grain
hypo-nuclane tablets. These tablets will
aid in extracting the nutrition from the
food which w’ill increase the red blood
supply, overcome nervousness and vou
w’ill become plump and healthy. This
treatment should be continued lor several
months, as it takes time to change the
tissues and cells of the body.
