LYDIA z. FINKHIM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
OF women or received so many gen

from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma

Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable

from surgical operations.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and

thy enemy and the enemy OF thy peo-
pie for the past three years. and when
the gods give him into thy hands thou
lettest him get quite away again"
But IL w2s not the gods that gave
him into my hands" Ahab protested.
