MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
lydia e. Pinkhan1,S
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power OF Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause il is a stimulant. not because it
is a palliative. but simply because IL is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound. and are fair enough TO give
credit where it is due.
IL physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would aeknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
lydia f. Piukhams Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr. ). c. Brigham. of Brigham
Park. Fitehburg. Mass, writes:
at gives me great pleassrre.to say that I
have found lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetables
Compound very efiicacious. and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
my oldest daughter found 1t very beneA-
cial fora feInaletrouble some time ago and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength
II freely advocate it as most reliable spe-
cific in all diseases to which women are sub
jet, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating Tor
flatulencyl, weakness of organs, dis
placements, inflammation orulceration,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. IL advice is
needed write to Mrs. PinI lam, at
Lynn. Mass She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham 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 IL she
wants to be strong and well.

Proper Care of LinoIeum.

A household economics authority says:
SIN caring for linoleum do not use soap
suds, as for scrubbing a floor. It stands
to reason that soap is going to injure the
varnish and the finish. On farm where
there is plenty of milk, cloth wrung out
of SKINNED milk is the best means of
taking up the dust and Frightening up
the linoieum.
Where milk is scarce or needed for food,
use lukewarm water to which has been
added half cupful OF kerosene oil or
some good furniture polish. Wiring the
cloth rather dry from this and go over the
linoleum after sweeping, and it will be
quite new and bright and the finish I'M
injured. Most housewives scrub oilcloth
and linoieum as though it were bare
floor; it is dusty rather than dirty, since
everything remains on the top, and for
this reason clean cloth slightly damp is
all that is necessary.
