NO WOMAN rs EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your add
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had-any faith in patent medi-
cines. Inow wish to say that never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. I hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. 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 single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

THE LITTLE cONQUEROR.

Every class of people has sick kidneys The
busy business man rushing through life on
the run, fails to realize the constant strain he
daily puts upon the kidneys. The mechanic,
forced to assume unnatural positions, stoop-
ing and straining at his work, does not know
that his backache is simply kidney ache. The
clerk on his feet continually, leaning over a
counter or desk railroaders, conductors, en-
gineers, street car men subject to Earring, all
have backache from the kidneys. Women at
their household duties, boys and girls at play
overtax the kidneys and give them more
work than,they can do. IT'S fortunate thing
the kidneys warn you when in trouble, that
they cry out for help. Don't neglect the
warning; don't neglect bad back. A weak,
a lame or an aching back if neglected, means
future trouble, urinary trouble. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure every form of kidney ills, cure
bad back and make sick kidneys well.
