Mrs. III. Wri0hf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there IS a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by u
arrangement of the female organism
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound afterevery
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which 80 degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me- | was ad-
vised to give Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like II fine tonic, and in u
tewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and i'll
five weeks was u well woman. l have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fled endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
