While no woman is entireiy free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman's vitality.

 Thousands of women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes woman,s special pains and irregularities.
 It provides q safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases.
