is a Jetter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220

| earnest and straight to the point:
“ Dear Mas, Prespas:—I feel it my

gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
| cured of womb trouble. I can eat and

consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles.”

for sometime past has had sole charge
of the esrrespondencoe department of
