Is it not true ? Women suffer, feel the very life crushed
out of them, grow old before their time. Each morning
wake up determined to do so much before the day ends,
and yet—
Before the morning is very old the dreadful BACKACHE
attacks them, the brave spirit sinks back in affright; no
matter how hard they struggle, the “clutch” is upon them
and they fall upon the couch crying :
“ Why should I suffer so ? What can I do ? ”
The answer is ready, your cry has been heard, and a
woman is able to restore you to health and happiness.
Backache is only a symptom of more fatal trouble—
heed its warning in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will
stop your torture and restore your courage. Your pains
como from unnatural menstruation or some derangement
of the womb. Let those who aro suffering read Mrs. Mor
ton’s letter and be guided by her experience.
AN OPEN LETTER TO WOMEN.
“DEAR Mrs. Pinkhah:—I have been so delighted
with Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound
I thought I would write and thank you. My system
was entirely run down. I suffered with terrible back
ache in the small of my back and could hardly stand
upright; was more tired in the morning than on retiring
at night. I had no appetite. Since taking your Com
pound I have gained fifteen pounds, and am gaining
every week. My appetite has improved, have no back
ache, and I look better than I ever looked before.
“I shall recommend it to all my friends, as it cer
tainly is a wonderful medicine.”—Mrs. E. F. Morton,
S2G York St., Cincinnati, O.
When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health
more than a million women, you cannot well say, without
trying it, “I do not believe it will help me.” If you are ill,
don’t hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for
special advice—it is free.
D Owing to the fact that some skeptical
people have from time to time questioned
the genuineness of the testimonial letters
we arc constantly publishing, we have
deposited with the National City Bank, of Lynn, Mass., $5,000,
which will be paid to any person who can show that the above
testimonial is not genuine, or was pulished before obtaining the
writer’s special permission.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.

MANAGING THE CALF,
A l ot of Valuable Information Con.
denned for tile Iteneflt of llasy
Farm Readers.
To make him pay, the calf requires
careful handling’. He starts life with
a baby stomach. To overfeed him is
to invite failure. It usually makes
him scour. This stops growth and
perhaps kills him, making loss in
either case. If he doesn’t scour he
bloats with poisonous gas generated
by the surplus food he cannot di
gest, and the “pot-bellied” calf with
staring coat is a long time recover
ing from unthrifty conditions and
starting to grow.
Don’t let a calf drink daily until
he can drink no more. Find out his
capacity and then give a quarter less
than his limit. If he can be forced
to drink it slowly, thus mixing the
saliva with it, so much the better.
For this reason a calf feeder is a
good thing. Food is eaten to be di
gested. The saliva well distributed
in the food while in the mouth is
the great agent of digestion. A pail
hung up well above the calf, to which
the milk is brought through a small
hose partly stopped, so he can get
the milk but slowly, is an invaluable
aid in successful feeding, either for
raising or the block. But such a
contrivance must be cleunsed daily
in boiling water or it will prove a
death trap. The milk remaining in
the pail and tube will putrefy and
produce a germ disease similar to
cholera infantum, which destroys so
many babies and originates in food
vessels and bottles imperfectly
cleansed.
The calf is a valuable newcomer
provided it is handled right. In the
calf, the dairy cow has her begin
ning. To raise the best heifer caives
for the dairy or sale is politic. Every
other calf should be made into veal
or “baby beef” as soon as possible.
The man who destroys a calf for
Its pelt to-day is considered a poor
manager.
.Keep the calf pen Pry ana whole
some at all times. If there be any
odor about it carry in a peck of dry
earth and spread it on a few quarts
of land plaster. If sweet milk or
whey cannot be got for every day’s
feed, accustom the calf to sour drink
and do not give any that is sweet.
Calves do just as well on sour milk
as on sweet. Uniform quality of food
is what is required. If butter or
cream is being sold one can easily
make veal at the same time by care
fully observing the above rules and
adding to skim milk a slowly increas
ing ration of whole flaxseed jelly.
Thus one herd of cows may return
double profits by- producing butter
ar.d veal at the same time.
To teach the calf to drink, hold the
pail in one hand. As soon as the calf
will suck your fingers turn your hand
under its jaw, and its nose will fol
low your fingers to the milk. Calves
should be treated to dry dust and
salt, as this regulates their digestive
organs and keeps them from scour
ing.—Farm Journal.

cross pieces fence posts nre spiked,

Adulteration I.rurally Drlinrd.
The supreme court of Iowa has re
cently decided that any substance
added to milk is an adulteration. Ac
cording to this decision it makes no
difference whether the buyer knows
what he is buying or not, or whether
he knows that the substances added
to the milk are wholesome or un
wholesome, such addition constitutes
adulteration. This is a most whole
some decision and ought to be the rule
of law in all the states in the union.—
