Nervous exhaustion invites disease.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face Pushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least prOvocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up
at once! To build up womans nerv-
GUS system and during the period of
change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Here is an
illustration Mrs Mary L. Koehne, 81
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
"Ihaveused Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints so when felt that was
nearing the change of life commenced treat
ment with it. l took in all about six bottles
and it did me great deal of good. 1t
stopped my dizzy spells, pains i'll my back
and the headaches with which had suffered
for months before taking the Compound l
feel that if it had not been for this great med
icine for women that | should not have been
alive to-day. 1t is splendid for women, old or
young, and will surely cure all female dsor-
ders."
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn. Mass, in
vites all sick and ailing women to write
her for advice. Her great experience
is at their service, free of cost.
