FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN,

For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, Inflammation, ulcera-
ton, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear
ing-down feeling, fiatulency, indiges-
ton, dizziness or nervous prostration.
Why don't you try it?
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick
women to write her for advice.
She has guided thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1908-12-09

This. woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 1856 Lawrence
St, Denver, Col, writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
:" was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
L underwent an operation by the
doctors advice, but in a few months 1
was worse than before. A friend ad-
vised Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
1 did with backache, bearing down
pains, and periodic pains, should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound"

A Word to Advertisers

The advertiser who advertises
judiciously uses the newspapers
that the people read. Here at the
Capital the newspaper that the
people read in the morning IS
THE WASHINGTON HERALD. 1t
gives the advertiser his moneys
worth, because it has the circula-
tion-a local circulation at least
double that OF any other available
morning medium six days in the
week. And it IS a growing circu-
lation, too-getting bigger and
stronger all the time. and giving
the advertiser increased publicity
all the time. 1t not only has the
largest local morning circulation
the largest by thousands-but the
bulk of it is home circulation.
which is the best circulation of all
for the advertiser.
The Washington merchant who
fails to take Cognizance Of these
facts is not advertising judicious-
ly. He is missing an opportunity
to get in touch with Washington
people-missing an opportunity to
increase his business.
