Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pihkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that IL
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be O fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
OF this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter OF
o century?
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is astimulant-not because it is
palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements 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 in
lydia E: 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 them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia p. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure. .
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
bloating Tor fatulence). leucorrhoea,
falling, Inflammation or liberation OF

bearing-down feeling, dizziness,
