While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem tc
be the plan Of nature that wolner
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If 1t is painful or irregula,
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand womer
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham':
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain

women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

The Westmoreland hills are the re
mains of an infinitely cider world
giants decayed, but CT great race
iaad ancestry; they have the finisa
the delicate or noble love!iness-0ne
might almost say the nanner-that
comes Of long and gentle companion
ship with those chief forces that max :
for natural beauty-w.th air and
water, with temperate suns and too
abundant rains Beside them the Alps
are inhuman; the Apennines, were
est-grown heap5-mountains in the
making; while all that Scotland gains
from the easy enveloping glory OF its
heather, Westmoreland, which is al
most heatherless, must owe to an il
finitude of fine strokes, tints. curves
and groupings. to touches OF magic
,and to lines Of grace, YET never losing
the wild energy of precipice and rock
that belongs of right to mountain
