Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with Q
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-

ordinary indigestion, yet, the medl.

seem to restore the patients normal

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by arrangement of the female organ

turbance similar to ordinary indiges-

medicine which not only acts AS Q
