PAINFUL Suggestions How to While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering', it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstruation is a sovere strain on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkhain that Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound overcomes painful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davision Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes : L/ear Mrs. Pinkham:? " Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. 1 suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. 1 consulted two different physicians ] uut failed to got uuy relief. A friend from the East. advised me to try Lydia E. Pink- 1 ham's Vegetable Compound. I did so. and I no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are nat urat; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. 1 j advise all woman who suffer to tuke Lydia E. Piukham's Vegotahlo Conijiound." M rs. Tillic Hart, of Lariinore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? " I might have have been spared many months of suffering and pain bad I only known of the effioaev nf l.vriin B!

I nm very grateful for wliat Lrdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me." Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy 'or all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women.

Jnbi Wuhltag the Disciples* Feet, John *111., 1-14?Golden Text, Gsl. v., 13?Memory Verses, 18, 13? Commentary on the Dny's Lesson. I. At the supper table (vs. 1-3). 1. "The Passover." This was one of the three fjreat Jewish feasts anil was also called the feast of "unleavened bread." because only unleavened bread was allowed. "Hour was come." Ills nn preaching agony and death. There was no uncertainty with llixn. So perfectly did He work with the Fnther that He knew when He had come to the close of Ilis earthly labors. "Depart unto tlie Father." His entire passion and ascension are included In this departure, as taking place in this one hour. "His own." His disciples. "Which were in the world." Who were to continue longer in its troubles and difficulties. "Loved tliem unto the end." 1. To the uttermost limit of love (margin of It. V.). 2. With a love without end. 2. "Supper being ended." Rather, the meal having begun?that is, they' had already reclined. It appears from Luke's account that as they took their reclining couches at the table, a strife arose for precedency; and by this is explained the washing of the apostles' feet by Jesus?a reproof and a lesson on humility and pence. "Devil having now put." Judas formed his plot six days before this, on the occasion of what happened at the house of Simon, the leper: see Matt. 215:14. 3. "Jesus knowing." This verse is sublime. An unclouded perception of His relation to the Fnther, the commission He held from lliin, and His approaching return to Ilhu, possessed His sou! By His fticarnation Jesus came from Hod; by Ilis death and resurrection He went to God. Christ came from heaven to bring Hod to us. lie went to lien von to bring us to Cod. II. Jesus washes the disciples' feet (vs. 4. 5). 4. "Kiseth from supper." Soon after they had taken their places at the table. The washing should have taken place before the supper. "Laid aside His garments." His outer mantle, a cloak which would impede His action, leaving the tunic, which was the ordinary dress of a servant. "Girded Himself." The girdle represents a readiness for service. The towel was to complete the full dress of a servant or slave. A hold contract between the \l... I..e .? ?. - - -l ' ' ' ' .u,piu, ?m? nuoiii to enter imo glory, ami the aspiring disciples, who were too lofty to wash each others' feet, and were anxious about their stations in life. "Began to wash." We have a very erroneous idea of the meaning of this action It' we imagine that it was performed for a mere example of humility, or even as an illustration. It was simply a humble, menial service that ought to have been done by the disciples, but which they refused or neglected to do. Then lie arose and performed the menial service Himself. No wonder that the conscience - smitten disciples were amazed, and that Peter felt that Jesus must not wash his feet. ill. a conversation with Peter (vs. 0-111. 15. "Thou cometh lie." When it was Peter's turn to be washed. Lord, dost Thou." Dost Thou, the Son of God. the Messiah, perform this humble otHce of a servant toward me? Peter had often seen the humility of liis Ix>rd, but never as in this instance, and he recoiled with an unutterable sense of shame and astonishment. The other disciples seem to have allowed Jesus to wash their feet in silence. 7. "K no west not now." You do not see that it is a visible expression of My whole mission, in which I laid aside My glory with the Father and took upon Myself the form of a servant. "Shalt know hereafter." A little better understanding was gained I in the Master's words in verses l.'t ami | 14; a still clearer understanding after the crucifixion; better still after Pentecost; a full knowledge of all that Jesus did for Ilis own was to be gained in eternity. 8. "Shalt never." Not to all eternity slialt Thou wash my feet. "Wash Thee not." With the higher washing of which this Is only a type. If thou wilt not submit to this thou wilt object 10 mat. ".no part with Me." Because, 1. The first condition of disciplesliip was submission to Christ. 2. Tills washing: was a symbol of spiritual cleansing, and so Peter understood Christ's words (v. I)). 1>. "Not my feet only." He goes from one extreme to the other. 10. "lie that Is washed." Bathed; for it was the custom of the Jews to bathe twice, in preparing themselves for the paschal solemnity. "Ye are clean." You are upright and sincere. Jesus did not mean that their hearts were cleansed from all sin, for that did not take place till Pentecost. "But not all." This was a rebuke which only Judas could understand. IV. Christ teaches humility (vs. 1214). 12. "Know ye what I have done." Consider what 1 have done? the meaning and significance of it. That lie intended His disciples to get the spiritual meaning of this act is seen from what follows. 13. "Master and Lord." One who lias authority, whose example should be followed, and whose commands obeyed. 14. "If I then." The Master lost no dignity, authority or power by His condescending love. He was truly great, in that He stooped to necessary humble work when others refused to do it. "Ye also ought." The servant is not greater than his master, and you will do well to imitate Me. If tills lesson has entered your understanding, cease all strife for position, and only surpass iu service to each other. Monument for a Pig.
