 Vegetable Compound


 The wonderful power of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not be- cause it is stimulant, not because 1t is palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs. positively curing disease and restoring health and yigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country bywomen who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and are fair enough to give credit where 1t is due.
 If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would aelnowl- -dge that they constantly prescribe Lydia |. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Com pound in severe eases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be re- lied upon to effect cure. The follow ing letter proves it.
 Dr. s. c. Brigham, of 1 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:

 Women who are troubled with pain ful or irregular periods, bloating tor flatulency), weakness of organs, dis placements, inflammation orulceration, can be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If advice IS needed write to mrs. Pinllham. at Lynn, Mass. She is daughter.in-law of Lydia E. Pinbham and for twenty. five years has been advising sick women free of charge. No other living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well.
