Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:
