This return, it argues, would be en-

Rates from the North and West were
reduced last February at the Commisa

Georgia cities. In view of all these

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration OF
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can woman who has some f.
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs Pinkham:---
During the early part OF my married life I
was delicate in health both my husband and
were very anxious for a child to bless our
home but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia e. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that I was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within year I
became the mother of strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and / wish every woman
who wants to become a mother would try it,"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia e. PiAkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
PiEkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice in
