THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia Pinkham'g
Vegetable Compound
la Prepared For
Woman's Use.
A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs
are used anuafiy and all have to ha
geh?
athered at the season of the year when
natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It to the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of

General Pershing's War Map.
2n installing General Pershing's war
map In the old National Museum build
ing In Washington, the commander's
room at the front just as it looked
when the map was in actual use, is
beihg reproduced as a setting. Here
will be the chairs used by the general
and his aids while they studied the
map, which changed hourly, night and
day, as reports came in and were re
corded. The table at which the officers
looked over documents will stand as it
used to at one side, and the walls will
be covered with the identical lineoleum
that was a background for the map.
The map was brought over hi pieces
now joined together, and the conven
tional design of the lineoleum is said
to give an odd kitchenlike domesticity
to the room in which General Pershing
watched history writing itself in a
very literal sense on the wall.

care of us for at least six months and
at the end of that .time if I haven't
convinced you that I'm an ideal son
in-law you needn't do a thing for us."

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
won realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to Dr.

THIN PEOPLE

PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.
Judging from the countless preparation*
and treatments which are continually be*
tag advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, MOB
and oust, and replacing ugly hollows an*
angles by the soft curved lines ot health
and beauty, there are evidently thousand*
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern
roods. Physicians claim there la nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well ae
the organic phosphate known among drug"
gists as bltro-phoaphate, which is Inex
pensive and Is sold by most all drug-gists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money

by supplying the body cells with the nec
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro*
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance the in

Increase in weight also carries with It
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
With the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. It
should not, owing to Its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
