“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—It is with thankfulness I write that Lydia
E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound has been of the greatest help to
me. My work keeps me standing on my feet all day and the hours are
long. Some months ago it didn’t seem as though I could stand it. I
would get S9 dreadfully tired and my back ached so I wanted to scream
with the pain. When I got home at night I was so worn out I had to
go right to bed, and I was terribly blue and downhearted. I was irregu
lar and the flow was scanty, and I was pale and had no appetite. I told
a girl friend who was taking your medicine how I felt, and she said I
ought to take it too. So I got a bottle of Lydia. E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and commenced to take it. It helped me right off.
After the first few doses menstruation started and was fuller than for
some time. It seemed to lift a load off me. My back stopped aching and
I felt brighter than I had for months. I took three bottles in all. Now
I never have an ache or pain, and I go out after work and have a good
time. I am regular and strong and am thankful to you for the change.
“I recommend Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound when
ever I hear of a girl suffering, for I know how hard it is to work when
you feel so sick.” — Miss Majiie Keirns, 553 9th Ave., New York City.
Women should not fail to profit by the experiences of these
women; just as surely as they were cured of the troubles enu
merated in their letters, just so certainly will Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound cure others who suffer from womb trou
bles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, irregular and
painful menstruation, nervous excitability, and nervous prostra
tion; remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound that is curing women, and don’t allow any druggist to
Bell you anything else in its place.
Miss Amanda T. Petterson, Box 131, Atwater, Minn., says:
"UEAR AIRS. JTINKIIAM.-1 UOpC tliaC yOU
■will publish this testimonial so that it may
reach others and let them know about your
wonderful medicine.
“ Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
the worst kind of fainting spells. The blood
would rush to my head, was very nervous and
always felt tired, had dark circles around eyes.
“I have now taken .several bottles of
_ Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com
b \ pound and am entirely cured. I had taken
\ \ doctor’s medicine for many years but it did
\ \ me no good.
\ “ Please accept my thanks for this most
1 ' excellent medicine which is able to restore
health to suffering women.”

HeiiolvM After Former Failures
a Healthful anil Hopeful Sl|$n.
A New Year possibility, a whole
new year! It is a fresh neginning
■ time—when all that we failed to do
mst year can really be tried again.
The studies of problems, near, or re
mote, that we thought we should
pursue, the books we meant to read,
1he new work we were going to un
dertake, above all, the faults we in
tended to conquer, the virtues «e
meant to cultivate, the growth in
character which we both resolved
and failed to acquire, now, we can
take a fresh start and really accom
plish some vital things, for the new
year is so rich in promise, so full
of hope so alluring in its suggestion
of beautiful possibilities!
Are we sometime tempted to look
a bit cynically at this ever-recurring
tide of hope, of belief in our better
endeavor, and better performance?
Does it sometimes seem a mere moek
ery—perhaps hypocrisy—that we
should so regard the New Yer.r? Are
we tempted to say—1 will make no
New Year’s resolutions to be again
broken and next year again renewed?
If this is our experience, let us
remember, says the Washington
Home Magazine, the very fact that
we have the hope and courage to
make new resolves, after all our fail
ures, is a healthful and hopeful sign.
Some wise teacher has pointed out
that one of the most difficult things
in the world is to retain our self
respect sufficiently to retrieve our
selves after a mistake or failure. So
long as we keep a clean record we
can go on, although the way may be
hard. But once having failed, the
effect of a broken record paralyzes,
find renders it far easier to fall out
by the way than to “about face!”
and start again. Yet one of the
greatest of victories is ours when
realizing and deploring our mistakes,
our “manifold sins, negligences and
ignorances,” we yet refuse to simply
sit and moan over them, but re
solutely rise up, press on, saying:
I failed that time, but I shall not
always. 1 can and will learn to be
“more than conqueror through One
who loved us, One whose strength
is in our weakness perfect” leaning
on Him, remembering that true re
pentance consists not in mere re
morse but in regret that bears fruit
in new life; we shall find that our
worst failures may become part of
that “stepping stone” on which we
rise to higher things.—Washington
Home Magazine.
NEW YEAR’S CALLS.
rhi» Practice of Former Years Mi»ht
Uecome Once More a Custom If
Revived by the Children.
As merry a day .ns Christmas is for
the children, it is usually rather quiet
for the grown people, their principal
occupation being to watch the young
folks enjoy themselves. From Christ
mas until New Year, though, the
grown people make up in gayety for
their Sunday-like quiet on the 25th,
but the children have just as much
fun at the same time.
There are more parties at Christmas
lime than there are even during the
long- summer holidays, and they are
jollier, because the children feel more
energetic and bright and lively with
the cold weather and the happy spirit
of the season. There are so many
delightful ways to entertain, too; so
many games and things that are only
suitable for indoors.
There is one holiday practice which
has almost passed with history, and
yet it is a beautiful one which the chil
dren might do well to revive. It is the
old custom of New Year’s calls. Un
til a few years ago it was the usual
thing for everybody to call on every
body else the first day of the year.
People who had homes opened them
to their friends, and popular people
had a steady stream of callers all day
who paid their respects, were served
refreshments and went on their way
to the next friend’s home. It was
all very pleasant, but it has passed
out, although etforts are being made
to renew the practice.
Why should not the children help
in this revival? They have nothing
to do, as a rule, on New Year’s day, and
they would doubtless find it delight
ful to put on their best bib and tucker
and cal) on all their young friends. It
would be a splendid opportunity to
display their new Christmas finery,
and at the same time extend to their
friends their cordial good wishes for
a happy year. Should the children be
gin calling, it would be a habit with
them and thus as they grow older
New Year’s calls would become an es
tablished custom, as it used to be.

Best day of all the year, since I
May see thee pass and* know
That if thou dost not leave me high
Thou has 'not found me low.
And since, as I behold thee die,
Thou leavest me the right to say ^
That I to-morrow still may vie
With them that keep the upward way.
Best day of all the year to me,
Since I may stand and gaze
Across the grayish past and, see
So many crooked ways
That might have led to misery,
Or, haply, ended at Disgrace
Best day since thou dost leave me free
To look the future in the face.
Best day of all days of the year.
That was so kind, so good'.
Since thou dost leave me still the dear
Old faith in brotherhood—
Best day since I, still striving here.
May view the past with small regret.
And, undisturbed by doubts or fear.
Seek paths that are untrod as yet.
