Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent.
painful or scalding urinatiOn, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
