12 REMARKABLE CASE of Mrs. HAM Declares Lydia E. Pinkham't Vegetable Compound Saved Her Life and Sanity. Shamrock, Mo.— " I feel it my duty to tell the public the condition of my your medicine. I had | falling, inflamma -3' jR : tion and congestion, female weakness, n ) V: pains in both sides, r\ Z?L /$' - backaches and bear ' ing down pains, was •j* short of memory, nervous, impatient, Iff'/17f I P asse d sleepless 'l\ ' I'[ml nights, and had i. ** neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that wa* so sore that I could hardly bear the ■weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home."— Mrs. JOSIE HAM, R.

He says he has been accused of be ing unpatriotic and that a local film production has even gone so far as to use his composition to emphasize In difference to war and the unprepared ness of the country. "I would rather cut off my right hand than be the author of a song or composition that holds my country up to ridicule," Mr. Bryan said to-day. The song was written In good faith at the beginning of the war, and was meant to be a plea for motherhood against the sudden reversion to bar barism among the nations of Europe. "I have seven relatives fighting with the Canadian regiments in the French trenches. This ought to be sufficient explanation to critics who say my com position is a plea for peace at any price. "I have nothing but contempt for the make-believe citizen who, while extoling the efficiency of his native land, endeavors to lull his neighbor into a sense of false security by ad vocating a fawning attitude toward an enemy which is even now threatening to undermine the foundations of our Government." 75 Already Registered For Wharton Extension Seventy-five students were regis tered for the Wharton extension school by Professors Wendell P.
