broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof

How often do you hear these signi-
tcant expressions from WON N
friends. More than likely you speal,
the same words yourself, and there
is cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
r Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia T..
