in my side and back
until I nearly went
crazy. I went to

they all said I had
female trouble and
would not Ret any

had suffered forfour
years before this
time,but I kept get-

medicine I took. Every month since I
was a young girl I had suffered with
cramps in my sides at periods and was
never regular. i b:iw your advertise-

of a woman who had been saved from
on operation and this picture was im-
pressed on my mind. The doctor had
given me only two more days to make
lip my mind so I sent my husband to the
drug store at nnco for a bottle of Lydia
E I'inkham's Vegetable Compound, and
believe me, ] mxm noticed a change and
whi n I had finished the third bottle I
was cured and never felt bf tter. I grant

and am only too glad to let other women
know of my cure. Mrs.Titos. McGov-

Lawyers Got It After All.
The Inseparable Sluipkinson broth-

the other look the cluck for the

The Purchase of a Saxon
Insures Riding Satisfaction
Saxon cars are today generally recognized as
the best cars in their price classes.
Their greater value has been definitely and
decisively established by their performance
records in the hands of thousands of owners in
all parts of the country.
The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned
one of the biggest successes in the automobile
industry. It owes its success to the policy of
building good cars and building them in quan-
tities. Its cars have won the respect of the
motor buying public.
Such absolute satisfaction as is represented in
the following testimonial is the big reason back
of Saxon success:
"1 want to *ay that Saxon 'Six' U an automo-
bile that will do all the Saxon Motor Car Cor-
poration claims it will do - and more.
"We have driven our car many thousand
miles and can honettly say it is the easiest
riding car we ever rode in."
