How often do we hear women say: 'It
seems MS though my back would break,
or Don't speak to me, ! am all out OF
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and "the blues" are direct
symptoms Of IN inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement Of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia Il Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts It's curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments OF
women. 1t has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
it Is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.

Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely.
Mrs, j. G. Holmes, Of Larimore, North
