had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia L. Pink

The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert

for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as n hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
