OF all the diseases known, with

ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs Pink

ducing her great remedy for womans
ills Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
