structor ever discovered to act directly

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 Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where IL is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would aclnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia Il. PiulSham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow

have found Lydia Il. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound very efiicacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.

strongest terms possible each and every
Ingredient entering into the composition
of DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint"
torpid liver, or biliousneSs, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. 1t Is
also q specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases OF catarrhal alice
tions and their rcsultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases except consump-
tom accompanied with severe coughs. 1t
is not 50 good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering or chronic cases II Is
especially eilicacious In producing per-
feet cures. 1t contains Black Cherry bark,
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root,
Mandrake root and Queens root-all Of
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, Of Jefferson Med. Col

unobjectionable and besides is q most
useful ingredient in the cure of all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
