Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying. period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women l ana willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is uneqqalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs bu, little to try Lydia E. as Mrs. Barclay says it is worth noun tainsof gold " to suffering women
