Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Winona, Minn.-" I suffered for more than a year from nervousness, and was so bad I could not rest at night would lie awake and get so nervous I would have to get up and walk around t and in the morqin would be all tired out. I read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ound and thought would try it. My a nervousness soon left me. ' sleep well and feel fine in the morning and able to do my work. I gladly recom mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to make weak nerves strong."-- Mrs. ALBERT SULTZE, 608 Olmstead St., Winona, Minn. How often do we hear the expression amonglwomen, "I am so nervous, I can not sleep," or "it seems as though I should fly." Such women should profit by Mrs. Sultze's experience and givo this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Com pound, a trial. For forty years it has been overcom ing such serious cozinditions as displace ments, inflammation, ulceration. irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, diz z.mess, and nervous prostration of women, and is now consileredi the stan dard remedy for such ailments. ly and that even in the sale of strict ly fresh meat it takes some time for the money to return to the company's coffers after the actual sale is made. "The commission says that the Packers' profit of one-quarter of a cent per pound on beef amounts to $5 a ton as compared to only 25 cents per ton profit on coal. As a matter of f.ct an average q'glity ton of beef is worth at wholesale at present about $400, whereas a ton of anthracite coal at tidewater is worth only about $7. Compare a $5 profit on a $400 sale with a 25 cent profit on a $7 sale. The beef profit is only about 1 1-4 per cent, coal profit over 3 1-2 per cent. "In 1917 Swift & Co. filled over 30,000,000 w)ders of all products with a total of about 200,000,000 items, a large part of which had to be weighed and wrapped separately, while coal is delivered in car lots or ton lots."
