Common

Women

If person is i'll and needs a medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way Of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain Of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful {;
while on the other hand 1t is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce q
spirit of confidence in the hearts OF
women which is difficult to dislodge.
