Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Manyletters on file in the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All sick women should read them. Marinette, Wis. "I went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation for a female trouble and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and was cured, and I feel better in every way. I give you permission topublish my name because I am so thankful that Ifeel well again." -Mrs. FRED BEHNKE, Marinette, Wis. Detroit, Mich.-" When I first took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor sailI g operation.Y o an would have to under I could hardl walk ohelp so when I read about the Vegetable Compound d what without e eCo an it had done for others I thought I would, try it. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They " .Phe helped me and today I am able to do all m work and I am well. Y Y Y p R 989 Milwaukee Ave. East, Taos. DwYn , e Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa.-" I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just _dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sink any more and I am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds. It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the opppor- tunity to recommend jt to any other suffering woman." ---Mies IRtxs FROELICHER, 1923 Manhattan St., North Side, Bellevue, Pa.

L. Dancey, The Oeown witness in the first case was Louis Dalton, tvho testified that he had purchased a bottle of liquor - from McGee on 1(tle Day, the !titter assuring him that lie could obtain it on the grnunte. The price paid foe the bottle was 31.50. AleGee did not contradict, Dalton's evidence and A DELICATE CHILD Made Strong by Our Vino]. Fayetteville, N. 0. -"My little daugh- ter was in poor health, delicate and so weak it made us Very uneasy. I heard about Vinol and decided to try it and the results were marvelous, her appetite improved, she gained in weight, and is now one of the healthiest children in town. Mothers of delicate children should tryVinol."-Mre.GORDONJESSUP. Vinol is a delicious red liver andiron tonic without oil, a constitutional rem-, edy which creates an appetite, aids di- gestion and makes pure healthy blood. All children love to take it. F. R. SMITH, Druggist, Brussels stated that he had procured the liquor from Clare Swats, paying the latter $1.50. Sweets, he said, had told him earlier in the day that he had '-some- tlliug" with him. Mr. Seager, in sum- ming up the case strongly contended that McGee was acting as agent for Sweets and therefore was liable. Lawyer Dancey, on the other hand, maintained that McGee was acting as agent for Dalton and was not guilty of the offence The Magistrate, how- ever, rendered judgment against Mc- Gee and imposed a flee of 350.00 and costs. As the second case in which McGee war charged with selling liquor later on in the day to Thos. Joy, Louis Dalton and others, did not differ materially from the first case, a conviction was registered against the defendant, who was again fined $50.00 and costs. Arising out of these cases Glare Swarts was before Magistrate Lockhart at the town hall in Goderich on Tuesday on two charges of selling liquor on the day of the Dungannon fair. To one charge he pleaded guilty and according utn his own n e for and to the evidence of \'Vol. Thompson, who was with Clare Swarth at the time -of the transactions (or one of them) both bottles were bought at the same time, $3 being the amount paid. The evi- dence of John McGee, however, was that he made two distinct purchases, one when six or seven fellows allows. chipped in and one when 1 h w n le bought o bottle b to for Dalton, and the Magistrate im- posed a fine of 350 in each case, with costs. 0.

Have also been over quite a large section of Saskatchewan and now have reached Edmonton, Al- berta, I had a run through the West some 12 years ago and I can see a very marked change during that period. A person can scarcely realize the ex- tent of this country unless he is here and travels over it. To 1ne it is a country with a great future, Owing to the increased wheel crop here this year(something sonlethiu over 800,000,000 bush- els) and being g spreadtee d over such a vast area, the fat mem, as a whole, are very pfnepernus this year. 4V hen travel- ling on a C. P. R. train lately I met a gentleman, the road has employed n 1 okimq after the handling of the grain in connection with thatn u nd. He informed me that North of the Main litre 50 percent of the wheat has not been marketed yet. If I had not the information 1 have received from inert of such itilegt•ity and veracity I could scarcely have believed the re- turns per time. For wheat 40 to 50 bushels pe acre is quite common and in some cases I have been told as high as 60 bushels neatly all No. 1 and good prices. The farmers are all right here this year. Farm lands are good value. But on the other hand when we con- sider the cities and towns it is alto- gether different. Real estate is very flat. Nearly every person of any prominence the trine of the boom put every dollar they had in real estate and now the bottom has fallen out of it and high taxes and other expenses in connection with all the property has to be met. Very many of those parteis are not able to meet those de- mands and eventually this property will be sold for taxes. I am afraid MONTHLY .
