Airs. III. W~iohf

Mrs Pfnkham claims that there is a
| kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without 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 after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in
fewdays / began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. NY recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks ! was a well woman. l have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
Z. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Compound.
