make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous lrrltability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
"I cannot express the wonderful relief
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. l suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. l could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
~ had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. l was advised to try
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
I" l am well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say l look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.
