INTERESTING LETTER WRITTEN BYA NOTABLEWOMAN Mrs Sarah Kellogg of Denver, Color Bearer of the Woman’s Belief Corps, Bends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham. RANDOLPH IS NOT GUILTY. The following letter was written by Mrs. Kellogg, of 1628 Lincoln Ave., Denver, I; ’olo., to M rs. Pink- hara, Lynn,Mass.: Dear Mrs. Pinkham “For five years I was troubled with a tumor, which kept g «™ great mental depression. I was unable to at tend to my house work,and life became a bur den to me. I was confined for days to my bed, lost my apjwtite, my courage and all hope. “ I could not l»ear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would l)e of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel lietter, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. “ The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to lie absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone ami I a well woman. I am so thankful for iny recovery that I ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative powers of" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.” When women are troubled with irreg ular or painful menstruation, weakness, leueorrhuea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that hearing-down feel ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back ache, flatulence, general debility, indi gestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound at once removes such trouble. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali fied endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine: Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Health is too valuable to risk in ex periments with unknown and untried medicines or methods of treatment. Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don’t iillow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place. Preliminary Trial Results in the Fre*- ing of Alabaman.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indiges tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi gestion.

COM PA K ISO Of the Figures and Conditions of the Union Central and the Penn Mutual Policies, You Will See Many Points Decidedly in Favor of the Penn Mutual No dividend is, paid on a Union Central policy until the third year’s premium is due. The Penn Mutual pays dividends after the first year. The Union Central loan value is not available until after the completion of the third year, and then after deducting the fourth premium, with interest, which takes pretty nearly all the first loan value stated in contract. The Penn Mutual loan value, as tabulated, is available immediately after the payment of the third premium, without deduction of any kind. The Union Central’s cash value is guaranteed at the end of twenty years. The Penn Mutual’s cash value is guaranteed after the third premium is paid, without deduction. The Union Central’s policy is never absolutely incontestable. The Penn Mutual’s policy is without restrictions from date of issue, as to travel, resi dence and occupation, and is absolutely incontestable after one year. The Union Central charges six per cent, interest on loans, with next succeediny year’s premium deducted first. The Penn Mutual charges five per cent, on loans, and no take out. The Union Central is a stock company, controlled absolutely by two or three individuals, who own $51,000 of its $100,000 capital stock. These people can elect themselves to tho several offices, fix their own salaries, make such investments of the Company’s funds as they may see fit, just as has been done by the Equitable, whose disgraceful record at this moment is a stench in the nostrils of all conservative insurance managers. The Penn Mutual is purely mutual, owned and operated solely in the interest of the policy-holders, aud the officers cannot perpetuate their control by use of either stock or proxy voting. In the application of the Union Central, the insured agrees: “That if at any time I shall engage in blasting, mining or submarine operations, or in the production of highly in flammable or explosive substances, or serve in any capacity on any vessel, boat or railway train (except as conductor on passenger train) OR ENGAGE IN ANY OTHER HAZARD OUS OCCUPATION, I will pay an extra premium equal to that charged by the Company in similar cases ; and if this extra premium is not paid from the assumption of this extra risk above stated it shall become a lien upon the policy without invalidating the policy, Union Central, Extended Insurance: After three annual premiums have been paid^the company will, without action on the part of the insured, extend the policy for the period stated in contract; but should death occur within three years while the policy is so extended, the unpaid annual premiums with interest will be deducted from the face of the policy. Penn Mutual, Extended Insurance ; “After three annual premiums have been paid, with out action on the part of the insured, the company will extend the policy for the full amount for the period stated in the policy ; should death occur we pay in full. Notice,there is no take out here. Union Central death claims, payable within sixty days after proof of death. Penn Mutual death claims, payable on proof of death. The most important part of an Insurance policy, is the conditions of its contract. Call and see us, Oal'frrey, South Ceir'olirm..
