MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in .
womans life which leave their mark
in her career The first OF these stages
is wornanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second IS motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each Of these stages,
and most of tho misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period OF puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
In later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
Ill. writes

placed upon the city map.
With the reception of the land be-
tween Fourth and Twelfth streets. the
