Miss MDOnoId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to &c
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing down pains. fiatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The neverfailing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Wood bridge,
n j., writes:

make her troubles known to the public, but

with a uterine trouble and Irregularities,
which made me physical wreck and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink

cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it Is"
