in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in tho belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when

public know tho good your remedies
havo dono me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and lcueorrhoea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused, llefore using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi
cines. I now wish to say that I never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as LydlaE. Pink
ham's Vegotable Compound; also would
say that your SanatWe Wash has cured
mo of leucorrheca. I hope these few
words may help suffering women."

as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

Night.
Deep In tho starry 3llenco of the nign
Breathes low tho mystery of I.lfo and
Dentil.
Whllo o'er tho darkened waters wan
dcrcth A voiceless spirit, veiled from mortal
sight.
Upheld, enfolded In tho encircling height
Of heaven, tho hushed Earth softly
draws her breath.
And In tho holy stillness llstcneth
To sweeping wings of far-olt words In
flight.
Beauty ascends In elemental prayer:
Lifted In worship, lost In wonderment,
I join In Nature's night antlphony
That vibrates In tho calm and sentient
air;
And through the veil of darknefs and
content
To touch tho garment of Eternity.
