Green and Mrs. Hardy. Harry Jekkik E. Gbkkx, Denmark, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: I had been sick at my monthly periods for seven years, and tried almost everything 1 ever heard of, but without any benefit.

Was troubled with backache, headache, pains in the shoulders and dizziness. Through my mother I was induced to try Lvdia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound, and it has done me so much good. I am now sound and well." Mrs. Harry Hardy, Riverside, Iowa, writes to Mrs.

Pinkham the story of her struggle with serious ovarian trou ble, and the benefit she received from the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. This is her letter: "How thankful I am that I took your medicine. I was troubled for two years with inflammation of the womb and ovaries, womb was also very low. I was in constant misery.

I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could not walk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with mv back, had headache all the time, was nervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had a bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. I was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, but still was no better. I was advised by one of my neighbors to write to you.

I have now finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and am better in every way. I am able to do all my own work and can walk nearly a mile without fatigue; something I had not been able to do for over two years, lour medicine has done ma more good than all the doctors."

There resides in Washington a lawyer who a few days ago retired from the pro fession in which his name was a power. In his early days, eays the Washington News, the lawyer )oat his hair, the result of a long spell of sickness, and from those days to the presont time his head has been adorned with wigs, veritable works of art, from tho hands of a celebrated maker in New York. As time rolled on he ohanged the glossy black shook of artificial hair to an iron gray, which la the oolor he affects now. The wigs look so natural that only hie intimate friends recognize them as such. One day he was defeadlng a man accused of trying to steal a pair o( trousers front hook In front of a sMono'hacd store while the proprietor was Inside.

Tho shop keeper was placed on the stand and Iden tified the prisoner as the man who at tempted to snatch the goods, mentioning at the time that the thief wore a wig. "Do you know a wig when you see one on somebody's head?" asked the attorney, The witness smiled and replied In tbe affirmative. Does bis honor wear a wig?" "No." "Do any of the Jury wear them?" "No." "Do I wear one?" The shopkeeper laughed outright at the idea of a man with such a magnificent suit of iron gray hair wearing a wig, and he replied emphatically that he did not. "I knew you didn know a wig when you saw one," retorted the lawyer coolly, at the same time yanking off tho gray locks and exposing a pato smooth as a baby's face. The courtroom was convulsed and the defendant acquitted.
