Ii her system is in a deranged condi-
tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
host of nervous irritations, make life
q burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
q sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dig
ziness, headache, dread of impending

gent women who are approaching the

for women at this trying period, and
may be relied upon to overcome all dis
tressing symptoms and carry them
safely through to a healthy and happy
old age.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
