SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY | | How Mrs. Bethune was Re- | stored to Health by Lydia | E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound. Sikeston, Mo. — ‘For seven years 1 suffered everything. 1 was in bed for ” four or fivedays ata time every month, and so weak I could § hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was 80 nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or iH have anyone move in the room. The doe- tors gave me medi- cine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's told him about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now 1 look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house- work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.”’—Mrs. DeEmA BETHUNE, Sikesten, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.

Their bodies, clothed in thin, saturated blue jackets, bent and re covered with nearly automatic pre cision as they delved and cast up the loam. Behind them a little mound of fresh-turned earth grew rapidly. To one side a third Chinaman stood in attitude of imperturbable attention, apparently overseeing the job. He was a large man, largely builded: taller than Blackstock by at least three inches, with disproportionately long arms, large hands and feet. In that drearily illusive light he seemed a glant. His face, to Occidental eyes, was a yellow mask, brutally modeled but quite devold of expression. Presently be uttered a single word in Chinese, and the labor came to an end.
