To be such a successful wife, to re- tain the love and admiration of her husband. to inspire him to make the most of himself. should be woman's constant study.
 If woman finds that her energies are Tagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearing down pains, nervousness. irregularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by tonic with specific powers. such as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.
 Following we publish by request a letter from a young wife
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:
 Ever since my child was born have suf- fered, as hope few women ever have, with in fammation, female weakness. bearing down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so ~~uld not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me well woman, and feel so grateful that am glad to write and tell you of my marvellous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 611 South 10th Street. Tacoma, Wash. | What Lydia E.
