1ks Hrs JWLong and mrs. S. Froke

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills - Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many SO called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling Of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
