LYDTA E. PTNKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.

lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Z. Pmkham'S Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink

Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.
