THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughterl
 Tradition says "woman must suffer-" and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to physician for examina- ton; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letterf from Miss MARIE F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 My health became so poor that l had to leave school. was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed My mother, who is firm believer in your remedies from experience, thoughtper- haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as e, CT was. have gained flesh and have a good color. am completely cured ot irregularity.'
