THE GLORY OF A GOOD NAME
A Notable Present. Day Instance.
RIGHTS

One has but To read a few of the grateful letters from women to
realize how strong are the bonds Of sympathy which unite Mrs. Pink
ham 10 the hearts Of American women.
Just think Of it. Mrs. Pfnkham has been steadily advising women
about their health day after day for twenty years. There is scarcely a
hamlet ~ Remote that It does Rot cOntain n or more of her friends
and more and more in every walk life the actual real permanent good
that Mrs. Pinkham is doing is being understood. Her medicines se
used by all rIasp> and conditions of women: her advice is given to the
humllrst and the richest without charge. There Is n o guess work about
Mrs inkhaHis advice; it is the result Of her wide experience. Nearly
every letter that comes 10 Mrs. Pinkham from women she has cured re-
fefs 10 her advice a = kindly" a $ good" a $ thorough" and they prove
how good it is by going on TO state that they have tried all other means
within heir reach and appealed to Mrs. Prnkham as a last resot t. Is it
any wonder that Ms. Pfnkham has good name among such grateful
hearts: Is ii not surprising that 50 many women will still persist in
trying TO battle with their inhrmiieS without her aid: But the women
vino do this re the women who do not understand. and seemingly can
not be made TO understand, how much meter than any other way is Mrs.
Tfnkham's way.
The movement she Is making for the health of women is a move
mcnt on a large scale. Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
already cured more cases Of female troubles than any other medicine in
the world. There can be no doubt of this: is Sc 10 widespread. the
help it brings is unmistakabie. the women who ire cured by it become
Instantly enthusiastic over its sterling worth.
A glorious thing indeed nts to have a name associated with 10 much
health and happiness TO have the absolute confidence of such a multi
tue OF women. Success in curing one woman, or one thousand women.
n one hundred thousand women acts merely a s a spur to constantly In
creased and greater efforts for other women who need help. And there
Is nothing sc important ito the women Of our country a s the preserva-
ton Of the health which alone will enable them to sustain the response
bfhties which are being forced upon them in every way In every walk
Of life womans duties are becoming more arduous. her responsibilities
are multiplied. the working classes are demanding as necessary things
today the very things which a few years ago we're iuxuries and abso
lutely out OF their reach.
This sentiment Of advancement carries with IT an enlarged field for
women. 1t is perhaps because OF the widening ut of womens lives that
the development Of diseases Of the feminine organism is o the in
crease; at any rate. this is al inconrovertible fact, and women are be-
ing awakened tot II. And so the field Of Mrs. Pinkhams work is steadily
widening, and every where you go you se how thorough her work is.
A woman is naturally tmd about announcing herself as in need OF
Mrs. Plnkhams medicine; this frequently prevents her making use Of
Lydia +. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound until the absolute necessity
for radical steps is forced upon her. Thus it is that In most cases,
where Mrs. Pinkhams medicine Is used, the woman who is cured is
donbly grateful because she had about lost hope. II is then that the
generosity latent In every woman's heart prompts her to Join. In SO far
a IS she reasonably can. In helping others Of the way to health.
The woman who is well, who never had al ache Of pain in her life,
IS 81 fortunate and so proud Of her health that she does not understand
the enthusiasm Of the women who have been cured by Mrs. Pnkham
OF serious ills. But there IS a vast army OF women who know how sym
pathetic and kindly and efficient Is the aid which Mrs rinkhamg gives to
suffering women, and 1t is among these women and their friends that
Mrs. Pnkhams name stands built around with a wall Of thankfuhness
The women who are accustomed TO speak slghting1y of Mrs. Pink
hams medicine r abashed into silence when they come in contact
with Of these, her grateful friends. No woman ever had a per-
sonal friendship with s. many women. No person ever rendered
women such useful service.
