5, H.¢ ROBERTS
Says to All Sick Women : “Give
Mrs. Pinkham a Chance, I
Know She Can Help You as
She Did Me.”
“DEAR Mgs. Pix
praises great refo
and fames are in th
and the public press
good, vicimps, Among them all Lydia
H. Pinkham’s name goes to posterity
a
MRS. H. F: ROBERTS,
. County President of W.C. T.U., Kansas
City, Mo.
with a softly breathed blessing from
the lips of thousands upon thousands
of women who have been restored to
their families when life hung, by. a
thread, and by thousands of others
whose weary, aching limbs you have
quickened and whose pains you have
taken ‘away.
I know whereof I speak, for I have
received much valuable benefit myself
through the use of Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Yegelable Compound, and
for years I have known dozens of wo-
men who have suffered with displace-
ment, ovarian troubles, ulcerations
Jagd inflammation who are stromy and
o-day, simply through th» use of
: i. I. ROBERTS,
at Reading. The loss is $5,000. Assist-
ant Chief Rietz was severely injured by
falling from a ladder.
Fire broke out in the stable of Samuel
Haws at Ardmore and destroyed it and
the adjacent stable of Marshall Harlan.
The loss is $3,000.
The First Methodist Episcopal
Church, in Carbondale was destroyed by
fire, entailing a loss of $30,000.
The prosperity that has come upon
Pennsylvania is again shown by the doc-
uments in the State Department. Cor-
porations all over the State are increas-
ing the amount of their capital stock
for the purpose of enlarging their busi-
ness. The following were the increases
during’ October: Carnegie Tube Com-
Ns fithor trom $150,000 to $300,000;
Coal Bluff Co., Pittsburg, from $1,000
to $300,000; Saxman Coal & Coke Co,

Only one company has reduced its capi-

other company, and for the purpose of
reducing the tax on capital stock.

unable to move from her chair, Mrs.
Maggie Dougherty, §f Rockdale, aged
60, and a cripple, w¥ burned to death.
