and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how TO
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor

from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. G. 0rms, of 22o
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM:-I feel II my
duty TO tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and nm
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh.
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
= The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ehce in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia B. Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during q single year.
