Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I feel it ray duty to tell all young women how much Lydfti E. Pinkham’s wonderful Vegetable Compound has done for me.* I was completely run down, unable to attend school, and did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person, and have gained seven pounds of flesh in three months. M I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weak ness.”— Miss Alma Pratt, Holly, Mich. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS. All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited, to ■write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully given, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging from the letters she is receiving from so many young girls Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must he pushed to the front and graduated with honor; often physical collapse follows, and it trftVeft years to recover the lost vitality,—often it is never recovered. A Young Chicago Girl Saved from Despair. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham : —I wish to thank you for the help and ben efit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound and Liver Pills.

The cheapest postal service In the world Is that of Japan, where letters are conveyed all over the empire for 2 sen, about seven-tenths of a penny. This Is the more wonderful considering the difficulties of transport over a mountainous and Irregular country, which has less than 100 miles of rail way, while wagons can pass over only a few of the chief roads and the steam ers connect but a small number of coast stations.
