NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food he dies Food is CON
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength Of the stomach 10 what extent
food eaten Is digested and assImilated
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs OF digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan OF the body. If the stomach Is weak
the body VIII be weak also, because Ii Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
2 whole, Is made up OF its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as consequence of weak st0m-
ach will be distributed among the or
gana which compose the body. III the
body is weak because ii Is III -nDnrished
that physical weakness will be found In
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys. etc
The liver will be torpid and inactive,

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women

FIRST That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
of the female organs, pain In the side,
burning sensation in the stomach.
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir.
illness and sleeplessness,
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record fer the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills lis Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases Of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been helping
women to be strong, curing DaclSache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. infiam-
nation OF the female organs. weak
ness and displacements. regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable In preparing women for
childbirth and the change Of life.
THIRD. The great volume Of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the flnknAm LABORATORY HL Lynn,
Mass. many of which are from time to
time published BY permission, give abb
solute evidence OF the value OF Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkhafn's advice.
Mrs. Plnkhan's Standing Invitation
toW0rren. Women suffering from any
form Of female weakness are invited TO
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn. Mass All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way Of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter

twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free ofcharge 0utof
the vast volume OF experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
