OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.

exha usive study TO the subject, and in
prod ncing her great remedy for
vonan's ills = Lydia f. Pinkham's

see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease. woman's kidney
troubles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
