YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vaneed years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
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
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of go
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:

gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and

The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia L. 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.
