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 20
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing down pains. hatulency, nsrv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhna.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Yer.
