FIRsT.-That almost every operation

becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucor1hoea,
displacements of the uterus, pain IN
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.

the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
IT regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years IL has been helping
women TO be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. all utter
inc and ovarian inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
TmRD.-The great volume of unsO-
1icited and grateful testimonials on tle
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
