Nervous exhaustion invites disease.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and YOU break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face Pushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any,
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up
at once! To build up woman's nerv-
GUS system and during the period of
change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Here is an illus
tration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371

Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints; SO when I felt that was
nearing the change of life commenced treat

my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the
headaches with which I had suffered for
months before taking the Compound feel
that If it had not been for this great medicine
for women that should not have been alive
to-day. 1t is splendid for women, old or young,
