cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because It is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia b. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where It is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acl5nowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe

they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
