Short Bones in Corsets.

It is interesting to know that while
,orsets are longer, the bones in them
are shorter. They go over part OF
the hip, but do not run down TO the
end Of the corset. These long bones
were found disastrous, as they were
constantly breaking or bending and
pushing the corset into a curve below
the waist.
Now the bones stop short enough to
prevent breakage, and the coutllle IS
strapped and stitched and fitted to the
figure for the rest of the length.

Pains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study OF drugs.
Prom the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world Aemedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious th an any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
