Their Medicine Chest For 20 Years

T is characteristic of folks after they pass the allotted three Bcore years and ten," to look back over the days that are (rone and thoughtfully live them over.

I find mygelf, at seventy-one, frequently drifting bark a quarter of a century, when I aee myself in the little drag store I owned at Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a vegetable compound to mT friends and customer what was then known only as Dr. Lewis' Medicine for Stomach, lArer and Bowel Complaints. For many years while I was perfecting my formula I etndicd and investigated the laxatives and cathartics on the market and became convinced that their main fault Mas not that they did not act on the bowels, bat that their action was too violent and drastic, and upset the system of the user; which was due to the fact that they were not thorough enough in their action, some simply acting on the upper or smalt intestines, while others would act only on the lower or large intestines, and that they almost invariably produced a habit requiring augmented doses. I believed that a preparation to produce the best effect must first tone the liver, then acton the stomach and entire alimentary system. If this was accomplished, the medicine would produce a mild, but thorough elimination of the waste without the nsual sickening sensations, and make the user feel better at once. After experimenting with hundreds of different compounds, I at last perfected the formula that is now known as Nairn's

y, whicn i truly Dcaeve goes ruxtner

and does more than any laxative on the market today. The thousands of letters from users have convinced me I was right, and that the user of Nature's Remedy as a family medicine, even though he may have used it for twenty-five years, never has to increase the dose. My knowledge of medicine and the results of its use in my own family and among my friends, before I ever offered it for sale, caused ma to have great faith, in Naurs' Remedy from the very first. And sow as I find myself nearing the age when I must bow to the inevitable and go to another life, my. greatest pleasure is to sit each day and read the letters that each mail brines from people as old or older than I, who tell of having used Nature's Remedy for ten, fifteen and twenty years, and now they and their children and grandchildren have been benefitted by it. It is at consoling thongnt, my friends, for a man at my age to feel that aside from his own success, one has done something for his fellow man. My greatest satisfaction, my greatest happiness today, is tha knowledge that tonight more than one million people will take a Nature' Remedy (NR. Tablet) and will be better, healthier, happier people for it. I hope you will be one of them. A. H. LEWIS MEDICINE CO.,

Agi

By EMMA L. FETTA Of Interest to Hooslers is the announcement made in Indianapolis that the Scott! Grand Opera company will appear in "LOracolo", ' Icia de Lammermoor", "La Boheme", "La Tosca", and "111 Trovatore" on May 27, 28 and 29 at the Murat Orville Harold, "find" of Muncie, a few years ago will appear in the Donizetti and Puccini operas. Lyell Barber, who has appeared In Richmond chautauquas more than ence, recently scored another pianistio success in New York City. It is probable that Barker will again appear in Richmond this season. Thomas Conkey, relative of Dr. Jack Conkey, of Richmond, was soloist at an informal musicale given at the New York studio of Dudley Buck. When the company was in Richmond Mr. Conkey was suffering from a heavy cold, and was unable to sing. The nuisance of the concert-chatterer needs to be suppressed," says a well known musical magazine editorially. "Next soason, if necessary, the programs of the concert halls should bear a statement to the effect that ushers are asked to enforce the rule of silence." Such a step would not prove unwelcome in Richmond. Mischa Elman will write music for Ziegfield's Follies. Nearly every manager in New York had been aDgling for Elman, but not until last week did he sign . the contract. Augustus Thomas is to write the libretto

j r.nd Gene Buck will do the lyrics.

' Slick Sewing Machine

ent Sells f Em Whether

Customer Will or Not

Wayne county residents were Monday warned to be on the look-out for a slick "sewing machine agent," who has been selling machines to people whether they would or no. He has operated in several other counties of the Sixth district. A suave salesman calls at a farm house and offers his sewing machine for inspection. He elaborately displays its good points, and finally convinces the customer that he should be .allowed to leave the machine on trial for a few days. But the rules of his company, however, provide that he shall have a receipt for every machine he places on trial, he says. Of course, no one objects to signing a receipt, but it develops in a few days after the salesman's visit that there is a note at the bank for the customer to pay. He calls and finds that he had signed a note instead of a receipt, which indicates that Wayne county people should inspect 'carefully all the papers they sign, especially when dealing with foreign sewing machine agents.

ESCAPED AN

OPERATION

By Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Many Such Cases. Cairo, 111. "Some time ago I got so bad with female trouble that I thought

l would have to bo oporated on. I had a bad displacement. My right side would pain me and I wan so nervous I could not hold a glass of water. Many times I would have to stop my work and sit down or I would fall on the floor in a faint. I consulted several doctors and

every one told me the same but I kept fighting to keep from having the operation. 1 had read so many times of Lydia K. ' Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister bo I began taking it. I have never felt better than I have since then and I keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Compound is certainly one grand medicine." Mrs. J. R. Matthews, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, 111. Of course there are many serious eases that only a surgical operation will relieve. We freely acknowledge this, but the above letter, and many others like it, amply prove that many operations are recommended when medicine in many cases is all that is needed.
