Columbia Avenue, Rockland, Me.
Backache is a symptom of female
weakness or arrangement. If you
have backache, don't neglect it. To
get permanent relief you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of will do this so safely and surely
as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Cure the cause of these dis
tressing aches and pains and you will
become well and strong.
The great volume of unsolicited
testimony constantly pouring in proves
conclusively that Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, has restored health to thou
sands of women.
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health free of
charge.
