While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman IS
vitality If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia +. Pinkham' e
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia L. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 n. Davi
sion Street, Buffalo, n. Y, writes:

Please Don't Tell

BEFORE going to Church one Sunday
evening Abraham cut large slice or
plum cake and, putting 1t under his
coat, started off.
That evening the minister took for
his sermon the following text: "Abra-
ham, Abraham, what has thou got in
thy bosom?"
Abraham, thinking the minister was
addressing him, slowly put his hand
under his coat, and drawing forth the
piece of cake, held it up, saying, much
to the amusement of the congregation:
please sir, it's only a bit OF plum
cake; but don't tell my mother!"
