LYDIA &. FiNKHXM

Nature and a woman's work COM
oined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's Ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
vnr grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians OH 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 Il. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago. gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
