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. Pinlham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. ]. C. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel il nv
