LYDIA e. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains 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.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia X. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of SIS N. O. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration 10 health
means so much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women am willing
70 make my troubles public
"For twelve years / had been suffer.
Ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered, and at times !

ago ! wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
